Episode Overview
In this extended Thanksgiving episode featuring four intense stunts, the first challenge had contestants starting in a small boat tethered to a cargo net behind the Fear Factor ship, styled like the Mayflower. They needed to climb out of the boat, scale the net, grab six flags, and release a final flag to halt their time. The two fastest men and two fastest women would move on, while the rest would be eliminated. For the second stunt, contestants faced a repulsive Thanksgiving feast, featuring night-crawler green beans, maggot-infested mashed potatoes with fish sauce gravy, bile gelatin topped with an African cave spider, beetle worm and cockroach stuffing, and sheep brain pie with worms. Each contestant had to select three of these revolting dishes to eat within nine minutes. For every item consumed, they earned a hatchet to throw at a target, with the closest throw to the bullseye winning an Activision video game.
