NBC bring back 'Fear Factor'

Fear of reviving reality hits is not a factor for NBC. After spiking their ratings impressively with singing competition The Voice, the Peacock is now rebooting action classic Fear Factor.

NBC’s head of alternative programming Paul Telegdy says the notion first came to the network’s attention when sister cable channel Chiller saw high ratings for near decade-old Fear Factor repeats. Telegdy watched some of the encores himself and was impressed how well the action held up.

“No one has come close to doing what they’ve done on that show,” Telegdy exclusively tells EW. “You go back and they’ve stood the test of time. It always had this incredible spectacle to it.”

Telegdy conferred with Fear Factor producer, Endemol USA, and discussed doing a few specials with the company’s president and CEO David Goldberg. Then they decided to go bigger.

I hope they bring back Joe Rogan, his UFC job shouldn't interfere. I think this is the first reality competition show I started watching regularly.

Yeah Joe is very upfront about Fear Factor being 100% about the money. News Radio was ending and he was like "I'll just do this show for 1 season then it'll get canceled and I'll have the paycheck." He didn't actually enjoy the work, I don't think he would return to it now that he has UFC and other stuff.

And I don't think it'll work without him. He was kind of an everyman watching people do fuged up poo along with us. They'll replace him with some "TV host" type person.

About the only time I enjoyed Fear Factor was when Tyrone Biggums won.

Dammit! This was what I was going to say....never watched the show, but I did watch Tyrone Biggums on it

"This isn't the first time I've tasted penis Joe Rogan" :lol:

"In my line of work, we eat penises all the time."

"Gotta play to win."

"Baby, I got you that rock you've always wanted."

Oh, my god, Tyrone, this could last us.....

I know, hours.

"Remember what the Bible says: He who is without sin, cast the first rock. And I shall smoketh it."

      I feel like this was the case with River and McDermott defenses as well, we just had the jimmies and the joes to overcome these deficiencies with all pro players at edge and linebacker positions.  Even then, was extremely frustrated in 2015 when we'd let team come back from 20+ pt deficits playing prevent only to barely win at the end.

      We need to move on soon and just use Bryce as a bridge to find our next guy. I'd like to see how this offense works with Canales hand picking his own guy. Bryce holds this offense back a lot considering you draft the first pick to carry your team and be your best player. We invested heavily for Bryce and need everything to go right just to have him look like a solid game manager sometimes. When he plays well he can look decent or mid, but when he plays bad he looks like a bottom 5 qb in league (backups included). It's not worth it, especially if we need to pay him soon, which means we have to skimp all over the roster. If the defenses don't hand it to us on a silver platter Atlanta style then we struggle big time. Defenses don't respect the offense at all. With Cam we could have the worst offensive talent and I'd still think we had a shot in any game we played. If Bryce is facing a 3rd and 10 I pretty much wave the white flag and don't think we can make that first down.
