Fear Factor is back, and you know you’re drawn in. There’s just something about putting your fears to the test, and Fear Factor: House of Fear episode 3 is most definitely going to do that.
We have a sneak peek of tonight’s all-new episode of Fear Factor: House of Fear. Watching the promos, we knew there would be a moment where people were racing through a tank of snakes. That’s come up, but this race is going to get a little scarier. How will Taylor do as she ends up with a stowaway?
The stowaway snake on Fear Factor: House of Fear
There’s a lot going on in the exclusive sneak peek of Fear Factor: House of Fear episode 3. Two contestants need to go through a tank full of snakes and then get into another tank and put a rat in their mouth. While going through the tank of snakes, Taylor picks up a stowaway. One of the snakes wraps itself around her arm.
Take a look at the clip before we keep going, but fair warning, this will put your fear of snakes to the test:
We got to give Taylor props for just going. She’s screaming as the snake wraps itself around her, but she keeps moving, and she does manage to get into the tank with the rats that she has to put in her mouth. She doesn’t even try to fight against the snake as it wraps itself around her. She’s focused on the prize.
However, I do have questions about the boa constrictor that is wrapping itself around her. We know what boas do and how they kill, so what will the show do with this going on? They have to be prepared for something like this, right?
What else do the strangers need to face on Fear Factor?
The challenges of the week aren’t just about the boa constrictor tanks. The strangers will also need to face their fears of being buried alive. Again, we all know that the show can’t put them in real danger, but it still doesn’t help the psyche as you’re going through these very real, terrifying experiences.
Power shifts as players are buried alive in a claustrophobic challenge. But when Johnny introduces a big twist in the game, the underdogs become shot callers - and a Fear House favorite fights for her show life against a hissing boa constrictor.
Fear Factor: House of Fear has certainly brought back all the love that we had for the original series and turned it up to 11. This is more than just pushing your fears to one side and getting through the challenges. There’s a social and a strategy game involved, but can players keep their minds on that when they literally have snakes wrapped around them?
Fear Factor: House of Fear airs on Wednesdays at 9/8c on FOX and streams the following day on Hulu.
