I think they have revamped the show to pit couples against other couples.

Do you have it in you and your partner to apply as a contestant?
What would you consider your greatest advantage? . . .your weakness?
Who would you partner with?
Is the possibility of winning $50,000 enough to go through it?

I guess I’d eat goat testicles and jump off speeding rig trucks for that much money. Always thought it was a stupid show, but I might check it out anyways, even if by accident. XD

@Symbeline it’s not like that you’re getting the money guaranteed just by being on the show, you still have to compete for it with other contestants and win.

I am so going to try out for this. Holy fuck balls, I love that show.

To elaborate, I don’t have a weakness. I’m in great physical shape, I can eat ANYTHING, and I’m not afraid of snakes, bugs, etc.

I have no answer for the partner part. I don’t give a fuck who my partner is as long as they have the balls to go through everything.

$50,000 is definitely worth it. It’s money…and everyone knows that I love money.

@njnyjobs Yeah I know, I’d do my best if I was on there.

Wow! That looked fun hanging from a helicopter and riding on the top of a truck till the last second! No worse than some of the rides I go on at SixFlags or Hershey Park :-p

But my partner would have to be someone I trust an awful lot, not just another contestant they paired me up with randomly.

Not a chance in hell I would go on that show. The twenty years of therapy I would need afterwards would pretty much cost me $50,000. There’s not enough money in the world to get me go into a box full of rabid slugs or to bob for rotting, fetid bull testicles out of a barrel of pig vomit and goat urine or whatever they make them eat on that show. No way.

Sure I would. If I fell and hit my head hard and lost all common sense or is I was totally broke tomorrow and I owed the mob some money. Nah, I would try to work for them and earn my keep.
Yep, it would have to be I knocked myself silly. Same for watching the show. I have no desire to see people degrade themselves for money.

Sweet. We like to watch reruns on Chiller.

I could never do the show. I could do everything but eat the nasty shit.
