DVD Reviews of Fear Factor: The First Season
DVD Review: Fun Series!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I loved Fear Factor when I was younger, and this DVD set is perfect. Two DVD's full of hours of the nasty and intense Fear Factor show, hosted by Joe Rogan. No special features, but that's ok.DVD Review: Fun Fun Fun...
Summary: 4 Stars
I really like "Fear Factor" and each and every show has something different and unique to add and new challenges to face and fears to over come. I always look foward to watching these shows on the television to see what stunts are going to come up with next and of course to see who is going to win the money.
I have hope that some of the challenges I will be able to face and over come one day because life is too short not to live well, and being afraid of certain challenges in life is not good. Of course I would never do the extremely dangerous stunts... but I do have a fear of heights that I would like to face and over come.
The only problem that I can see with these sets is that after you watch them one time, you don't really care to watch them again! I have got my moneys worth because the price is not bad at only $20 and I have let other people borrow my set and they have enjoyed it also. (Plus you can sell it back to Amazon or on Ebay if you get tired of it and make some money back, if you choose to.)
I can see why these sets do not sell is much because many people don't enjoy this type of "gross out" show and plus it is not the type of show that you would watch over and over again. I hope that they continue to complete the rest of seasons on dvd, but also offer these sets at a really reasonable price so that we will get are money's worth for what we buy.
All in all I recommend buying this set for anyone who loves "Fear Factor" and of course it always makes a good conversation starter for groups of people to watch and enjoy together. This season has a good variety of episodes from difficult phisical challenges to mental challenges of eating something gross. This is a very fun show to watch and get carried away with, but don't try these stunts at home :)
DVD Review: Fear Factor Rocks
Summary: 4 Stars
Its about time Fear Factor was released on DVD - Especially for Australian, who have never seen the first few series.
They could have put a few special features in though, otherwise, a great DVD. Can't wait for future seasons to be released.
DVD Review: YES! IT'S HERE!

Description of Fear Factor: The First Season
Is fear a factor for you? Find out as you watch all the outrageous stunts, creepy insects and high-flying acrobatics of Season One - on DVD for the first time ever! This exciting two-disc collection captures every heart-stopping, pulse-pounding Season One episode where players attempt thrilling stunts that challenge their worst fears. Now you can relive all the wacky, wild, and gross moments of this smash-hit show that will have you squirming in your seat!Fear Factor is not intended to be art. It is a gross-out, "oh no he didn't eat (or do) that" game show that is intended to make the home viewer recoil in disgust (and sometimes squeal with glee). All nine episodes from the first season, which debuted in 2001, are included on the two-disc set, which includes something for everyone who likes a little ick factor in their lives: Contestants being smothered by rats. Check. Seemingly sane folks willing to be chased by attack dogs. Check. The iron-stomached wonders who'll eat animal eyeballs to win. Check. Hosted by snarky Joe Rogan (NewsRadio), who sometimes appears amazed at what people are willing to do for a prize, Fear Factor does offer some truly thrilling elements (such as the episode where the contestants hurl themselves from a telephone phone). Yes, it's not right, but there's a certain part of most of us that can't turn away from accidents. When we do this on a highway, we feel guilty. But with this show, hey, the players knew what they were signing up for. The problem with the series is that the premise grows redundant pretty fast. Each contestant must make it through three challenges. The first is usually a test of your strength or speed (see above reference to attack dogs). The second relies on creepy crawly things either being ingested or smothering your face. And finally, we have tasks that must be completed faster than the other opponents. Very few of the contestants exhibit actual fear. But revulsion? Absolutely. --Jae-Ha Kim
