Previously on "Fear Factor:
House Of Fear"...


You guys joined "Fear Factor."
What the hell were you thinking?

14 people with fears
to face...


The biggest fear
in my life? Fire.

Please don't let me die.
I don't wanna die from heights.

I think I have
a fear of everything almost.

...confronted terrifying
challenges...


- Aah!
- Suffocation!

- Get me out, Johnny.
- Are you kidding me?

- Oh, my God.
- Keep it away from me.

- We're about to get hurt.
- [screaming]

That pain train
is chugging along.

...and battled through
diabolical Endgames.


- Oh, my God!
- [screaming]

I want out. I want out.

- Hurry up!
- [bleep]

- He beat you by seconds.
- [groaning]

It's a sheep head!

- Eww!
- We're all gonna miss you.

- [hissing]
- [screaming]

I can still hear
their screams.


[screaming]

Living together
in the Fear House...


We're not a family.

...their biggest threat
was each other.


Nobody trusts you in the house.

Get this [bleep]
out of my face.

I understand what you're saying.

But do you?
Or are you just saying that

because you want
the conversation to end?

I'm going to do exactly
what I have to do to keep going.

- Yah!
- [laughing]

Alliances were formed...

Can we at least have
a secret thing going on?

We would be happy
with us being top four.

- She's honey-potting you.
- ...friendships betrayed.

You're going to remember
this moment and regret it.

I don't like liars. I don't like
cheaters. I don't like liars.

- I'm not that kind of person.
- Kind of a d*uche move

- to be completely honest.
- Oof.

Leading to a final result
no one was prepared for.


- A medic?
- Is he okay?

- This is scary.
- [sobbing]

Bro, "Fear Factor"
is no joke, dude.

[siren wailing]

That was incredible.
Like, that was a wild Endgame.

- Thank you.
- Yeah.

It's whoever wants it more, fellas.

- Ah!
- Whoo!

We're going to the final.
It's crazy.

- With Rob and Jayleen.
- Yep, it's us
and the lovebirds.

Us and the lovebirds.

Let's break
that lovebird bond up,

- get them out of here.
- So the finale is today.

How you feeling?
You ready?

I'm scared,
but I want to win this so bad.

In the beginning, I didn't
think I'd get far at all.

That probably comes a lot from,
like, friends and family

just being like,
"What are you doing?
That's crazy."

But I think
I'm kind of k*lling it.

I want to prove to myself

that I'm not the Kardashian
of the family,


and I think people should really
take me more seriously in life

and not judge a book
by its cover.

I came here to win $200,000,
and I want to give


some of that back
to animal rights groups.


I would like to use this as,
like, a point of awareness,

and, like, share my message
with other people.

- That's awesome.
- Every year for work,

we get to donate to, like,
a charity of our choosing,


and I always do
an animal rights group.


- That's really cool.
- Mm-hmm.

And I kind of feel the same way.

Like, I always wanted to be
somebody who's fearless,

and then I had my accident.

It just took me back
so many levels.

Throughout this competition,

I've learned fear
is just 99% mental,

and now I just
got to live through it.


I want to get
a motorcycle again.
Don't tell mom and dad.

I want to do insane things
all over again.


There's a great quote I love.

"The treasure you seek

is in the cave
you fear to enter."

And I feel like everybody
needs to take that step

into the darkness and
see what's waiting for them.

We're at the end.
Like, this is it.

- May the best player win.
- Hell, yeah.

I'm just proud of, like,
us both making it here

'cause we were talking about it
from the beginning.

- That's really cool.
- It's really cool.

It is. You ready?
You gonna crush?

I don't know!
I'm going to do my best.

Hopefully,
my best is $200,000 worthy.

Oh! It's a hefty
amount of money.

Like, I can't even fathom it,
what it would do, you know?

Yeah, it's not real to me.

- Yeah.
- I think it'll only be real

when it's, like,
in my bank account,
and I'm like, "Holy crap."

- "Those zeros are mine! What?"
- Yeah!

I work with individuals
with autism.


I love what I do,
but raising two kids

and really being
paycheck to paycheck,

I'm struggling financially,
and I'd k*ll for that money.

[music playing]

Damn.

- Yeah.
- They're holding hands!

- Oh, no.
- What are they?

What the hell
are we about to do?

Welcome to
the "Fear Factor" finale.

- Big teeth.
- Okay, first things first.

I know you're all
concerned about Dida.

So, he went to the hospital,
and he's going to be fine.

- Okay.
- Thank you.

He wants you to get back and be
focused on winning the game.

- Nice.
- Great.

Johnny: All right.

Congratulations on making it
here to this moment.

- Thank you, Johnny.
- I mean, look around.

One of you is going to win
the $200,000 grand prize.

We began with 14.

Now, it all comes down
to you four.

Now, you've each faced down
a lot of fears to get here.

Chelsea, you stepped
into this competition

determined to face
your fears of being trapped
and of creepy crawlies.

- Come on, Chels!
Grab 'em, grab 'em!
- Dig deep! Both hands!

And you wanted to conquer
those fears for yourself

and for your kids,
and you've done an amazing job.

Thank you. I did.

Jayleen, you came here
with the fear of deep water
and critters.

- Oh, my God!
- Oh! Oh!

And even though you're a vegan,

you made it out
of the elimination

eating that evil
pig snout pie.

Just put it back.
Don't even think about it.

I didn't think you
were making it out of that.

I didn't think
I was making it out of that.
I'm surprised.

I thought
you were close to tapping,
but you got through it.

That was great.
Especially when everyone
was puking afterwards.

That was even better.

Ethan, you're our
youngest competitor here.

You set out to crush
your fears of confinement
and electric shock.

[screaming]

And you persevered
in the semifinals,

beating out two strong
competitors to get here.


Yeah!

- Just amazing job all around.
- Thank you.

Rob, you came here with
a fear of physical injury,

but we've seen you conquer
that fear over and over again.

It was one of the most
impressive things I've seen

with the full bucket
of ice water


on your head
for five minutes.


- [laughter]
- Yeah!

Yes, Rob!

- Aah!
- That was awesome.

That means so much
coming from you, Johnny.

So the grand prize
is within your reach.

Any of you can take it,
but it's not going to be easy.

- Mm. Does not look like it.
- Yeah. Figured.

So your next challenge
will test your fear of drowning

and these cute alligator gars.

We call it Below The Surface.

You must escape from these.

You will be locked
inside that tank,

which is filled with water
and some alligator gars.

Alligator gars. Alligator.

- They bite?
- Yeah.

A little fear
just wakes you up.

Oh, my God.
Can we catch a break?

It sounds absolutely
terrifying.


They're cute, though.

This is an individual challenge.

On my signal,
you will go under the surface.

You will be able to breathe
through a little hole

in each lid on your tank.

You can take as many
breaths as you want,

but you'll lose precious time.

And then dive down to the maze
at the bottom of your tank.

Solve it, and you can remove
the flathead screwdriver.

Use that to unscrew the bolt

that is keeping you
locked inside.

Push open the lid on your tank

and hit that button
to stop your clock.

The challenge will be done
in two rounds,

and the pairings
were randomly selected.

Round one will be
Ethan versus Rob.

Round two will be
Jayleen versus Chelsea.

The fastest to escape in
each round goes to the finale.

The slowest is eliminated.
How are we all feeling?

I'm not excited about this.

Doesn't feel good
going against a free diver,

and I'm hoping
he goes into the tank with
the more vicious ones.

I wouldn't want to get
in the cold water.

- That would be my big thing.
- Cold, too?

- Yeah, it's not heated.
- Great.

Okay, Ethan and Rob,

you're first,
so let's get to it.

Yum. I'll tell you
my final thought.

Woof!

Man meat! Hello!

- Let's go, boys!
- Come on.

Stay calm, guys.
Oh, my gosh.

[bleep]
That looks feisty.

[bleep]

All right, gentlemen,
time to get in the tanks.

Rob:
This challenge is crazy.

Ethan is my toughest rival.

I'm almost twice
this guy's age.


But I've got more
experience than him.


I'm nervous.
My heart's pounding out
of my chest.


This is the big one for me.

I'm so close to winning
that $200,000.

Ethan: I am kind of
freaking out right now.


Rob has a major
advantage over me.


I'm good at holding my breath

probably for up to
a 1:30 underwater.

Rob on the other hand

says he can do
up to four minutes.


And I'm just so dialed in

because I know
I have to beat Rob
out of the competition.

On the sound of the air horn,
it begins.

- Three, two, one, go!
- [horns blaring]

Let's go, Ethan!
Let's go, Rob!

Johnny:
They are zooming.

Come on! Let's go, let's go!

Johnny:
Don't let those alligator gars

latch onto your sweet spot!

No!

Let's go, Ethan!
Let's go, Rob!

Ethan:
Fear makes people mess up
in these games,


and I need to stay composed
in this situation.


- Stay calm, guys.
- My strategy here

is to hold my breath through
the entire puzzle part.


Rob: My heart's pounding
out of my chest,


which is
the worst thing you want


when you need
to hold your breath.


Johnny:
My goodness.

Neither of them
have come up for air yet.

Ethan:
I got to stop rushing.

It's not going to help,
because I keep messing it up.


Come on!
Let's go, let's go!

Wow. And Ethan
has solved the maze.

- Oh, my God.
- Now he just needs to unscrew
the lid with a screwdriver.

- Good job, Rob!
- Find the screw!

- Come on, Rob!
- Oh, man, but now Rob is done.

- Oh, they're neck and neck.
- Let's go, let's go!

Oh, man,
it's getting really close.

- Keep going, keep going.
- You got it.

Let's go, Rob!
Keep it up, keep it up.

Way to go, Ethan.

You're almost there.

This is tight.
Like, Ethan got done first,
but Rob caught up.

- Keep going! Find the screw!
- Good job, Rob. Let's go!

Johnny:
Oh, no, the screwdriver slipped
out of his hands.

Oh, [bleep].

Oh, this is coming down
to the wire.

- Oh, my gosh.
- Oh, my God, this is crazy.

Now Rob's got
to come up for air.

Come on, get it!
You got it!

Keep going, boys!
You got it. Stay locked in.

- You're so close!
- Come on! You got it!

Almost there.

Johnny:
Oh! Oh, my God.

- [beeping]
- Oh, my goodness!
Ethan has won.

- Ethan!
- Oh, wow.

- Ethan is in the final.
- Yeah!

Yeah!

[beeping]

[bleeping]

Rob, unfortunately,
will go home.

- Wow.
- Whoo!

I have secured my spot
in the final!

Oh, my God, I beat Rob.
Unbelievable.

I'm sorry, Rob,
but that feels so good.

- [groaning]
- Oh, my God.

It's okay.

- Wow.
- That was tight.

Way to go, guys.

Good job, dude.

- Thanks.
- [bleep]

Rob: I am just
so upset with myself.


How could I let myself
lose on this one?

Out of any challenge,

it had to be
the diving challenge.

- Good job. It's okay.
- [groaning]

- Oh, my gosh.
- I thought for sure I had it,

and that just makes it
burn even more.

Way to go, guys.

Really proud of Ethan.
He deserved to win.


If anything, going up
against a diver

and getting the win on this,
he did great.

We have our first contestant

in the finale
for the $200,000 grand prize.

- k*lled it.
- Good job.

We need the next one.

Chelsea, Jayleen,
are you ready to go?

- Let's do this.
- As ready as I'll ever be.

- You're up. Let's do this.
- Let's dive in.

- Let's go.
Let's walk it up, sis.
- Okay.

[sighs]

Chelsea: The last
challenge that involved


some sort of a puzzle,
which was the shock challenge,

- um, I failed.
- Chels, what's wrong?

Okay, which [bleep] one is it?

And I'm really in my head
and stressed to fail again.

- Ooh.
- Chelsea, Jayleen, you ready?

- No.
- Well, time to get in.

You got this, Jayleen.

- [sighs]
- Eek.

[bleep]

- Oh, [bleep].
- Relax your body, Jayleen.

Relax your legs.

- [squeals]
- Oh, she's just getting--

I think I'm scared
of fish, Johnny.

They're just saying hello.

[muted chatter]

- Just watch
your other hand there.
- Oh!

- There you go.
- [gasping]

[bleep]

Of course, my biggest fear
coming in here is drowning.

[gasping, panting]

- [bleep]
- These alligator gars,

they are just so terrifying.

- [groaning]
- I am petrified.

[groaning]

All right, are you ready?

[gasping]

[bleep]

Chelsea:
I've never been great
at holding my breath,


but I saw the guys
get through the puzzle
with one breath,


and that was my goal.

Go down, one breath,
get that screwdriver out.

But I'm so stressed.
My heart is going to explode.


About to find out who's going
against Ethan for $200,000.

On the sound of my air horn,
it begins.

- Three, two, one, go.
- [horns blaring]

Jayleen, get in there!

Come on, Chels!
Stay calm, Chels.

Come on, Jayleen, you got it.

- You got it. All the way out.
- Come on, Chels!

Come on, Jayleen!

Johnny:
Oh, man, that puzzle is tough.

You got this, Chels.

My goodness,
this is really close.

How have they not
come up for air yet?

I would be toast by now.

Stay calm. Stay in it!

- Come on, Jayleen!
- Come on, Chels!

Attagirl, Chels!

- Attagirl!
- Johnny: Oh. Oh, my goodness.

Chelsea's already got
the screwdriver.

Come on, Jayleen!
You got this.

Johnny: Now Jayleen's got
the screwdriver.

- Good, you got it.
- [gasping]

Stay calm, Chels! Breathe.

[gasping]

Get out of there
and hit the light.

Come on, Jayleen!

- Just a couple more screws!
- Johnny: Oh, my goodness.

Stay in it.
Come on, Jayleen.

Johnny:
Only one's going to survive.

Let's go, Chels. Let's go.

Johnny: Whoa, whoa,
Chelsea's almost got it.

- Oh, my goodness.
- [beeping]

- Oh, Chelsea is in!
- [bleep], yeah!

- Chelsea is into the final.
- Oh, my God.

- Aah!
- [beeping]

- Oh, wow.
- Good job, Chels.

- That was...
- Good job, girls.

- Good job, Jayleen.
- an excellent...

Oh, my God.

Oh, my gosh.

I'm in the top two
of "Fear Factor."

I'm going to the finals.
This is crazy.


- Oh, my God.
- You're a badass.

- I love you.
- No, I love you.

Great job, both of you.

I'm just sick to my stomach

because I wanted to win
Fear Factor so bad


that to be so close
to the end, it really hurts.


- I am so disappointed.
- Congrats.

Thank you.

- Congratulations, Chelsea.
- Good job.

- Thank you.
- Congratulations, Ethan.

Thank you.

Well, unfortunately
for Rob and Jayleen,

your "Fear Factor" adventure
is ending right here.

Both of you did an amazing job.

You should both be
very proud of yourself.

And, Jayleen, I got to say,

your family will never
underestimate you again

after they've seen what
you've done on this show.

- Yeah.
- And I don't want you to ever

underestimate yourself again.

Thank you so much.
I'm very proud of myself.

I didn't think
this would ever happen.

I've challenged myself
in every way possible,

and I'm excited to see
what happens after this

and what other
fears I face, so...

Well, I think
you'll handle them.

You've been great competitors,

and everyone
can say their goodbyes.

- Thank you, Johnny.
- No more crying, guys.

- [bleep]
- I love you.

- Dude.
- I love you so much.

Jayleen:
I came into this competition
with a fear of water.


After the plunging challenge,

I had just like
that spiritual awakening
in the water.

I'm so proud of you.

I've gained a new sense
of strength.


Jayleen,
you went farther than anyone.

And the new Jayleen
is going to be fearless.

You're an animal! Yeah, Jay!

Rob and I built
something really beautiful.


He's really supported me here.

- [screaming]
- Wow!

- Yes!
- We continued to have
each other's back

throughout this journey.

- [gasping]
- Nice work.

Nice work, nice work.

- You saved me.
- Love you guys.

- Love you guys.
- Love you guys.

Looking back at the things
we've done here,

when I saw the wrecking ball

and the heights
and speed we'd be at,


I was terrified
because I just felt


all of that pain
from my leg break.

[sniffling]

It's really hard.

[horns honking]

And I got through it.

- Aah!
- [screaming]

I've made it through
every single challenge


and I feel like
I can face anything now.


- Damn, Rob!
- Attaboy, Rob!

You got this, Lance.
Stay calm. Stay calm.

- I'm trying, y'all.
- Everybody calm.

I feel like I'm connected
with the old Rob again,


- the daredevil Rob.
- You got it, dude.

I'm not leaving with the 200K,

but I'm leaving
with way more than that.


- [squealing]
- Johnny: Oh, wow!

- Awesome job, guys.
- Thank you, Johnny.

- You guys are in the final.
- Thank you so much.

- Aah! Final!
- I can't believe it.

Oh, my God.
Like, I'm excited for you.

You will face off in our
final challenge of the season

and one of you
will win $200,000.

Yeah!

You both head back
to the Fear House,

try to get some rest,

and I will see you
at our final challenge.

$200,000 is on the line.

Oh. Oh, my God. It's real.

- It's real!
- It's real.

I can't believe it's me
and Ethan in the final two.
I am over the moon.

- Oh, my God. That was so fun.
- Wow! Out of 14!

I want to do one last ride
with my boy Ethan.

He's strong,
he's 20, he's buff.


Bring it, man. I'm ready.

I know I can take him.

[music playing]

Really quiet in here, huh?
Feels a little ghostly.

There were 14 people
in this room at one point.

- It's crazy, right?
- I don't even--

- It went like that.
- There's $200,000 on the line.

Is this even real?
Like, I don't even have
words right now.

I know. Can you believe it?
What would you do with it?

- Well, first thing
I'm buying myself is a door.
- Mm-hmm. A door?

I don't have a door in my room.
It's a curtain.

I'm pretty confident
I can buy a good door
with $200,000.

And then I'm, like,
giving my mom a big chunk.

My family needs this money.

There was a point in my life

my mom couldn't afford rent
for all of us,


so I had to pack it up

and live with my dad
for a bit.


And that was a really
dark time in my life,

getting in fights and stuff,

and, you know, making
bad decisions out of emotion

and not even realizing it.

It hurt a lot,
but I'm at the age now


where I'm flipping over
to being a young man,


and I want to
become a better version
of myself after this.


It's been a life goal of mine
to, you know, support my fam,


and now I have
an opportunity to do it.


This is huge to me.
I can't mess this up.


I'm gonna take my kids on,
like, some cool vacation.

- Just sick, like--
- Like, we're going somewhere.

Vacation, take care of family,
you know what I mean?

Through the divorce,

I lost a couple years
of my life,


and it's painful to see
the joy that I missed


with my girls
at a certain age,
and that hits.


And I think that
is the hardest thing,


is memories that I missed.

I don't want to lose
another memory.

Winning this would
show my girls, Mom did it.


I made you.
You're a part of me.

That means you
could do this, too.

At this point,

I'm kind of feeling
unstoppable.


All right,
I don't know what to expect,

- but I'm happy
it's here with you.
- Me, too.

And, hey,
regardless, good luck.

- Good luck to you as well.
- We'll see what
tomorrow brings, man.

May the best "Fear Factor"
player win.

- I like that, yeah.
- Huggy?

- Okay, huggy. Good night!
- [muttering]

- Go get some sleep!
- Good night!

Chelsea:
I'll see you in the morning!

[music playing]

Ethan: It's the morning
of the final Endgame.


There is a lingering pit
in my stomach.

I'm like, "Oh, my God,
today is a $200,000 day."
I can't mess this up.


Chelsea:
We have no idea what to
expect for the Endgame.


At this point,
I'm extremely nervous


and I just have
to put my game face on

and just prepare
for the worst.

I'm going to miss this place.

Wow. Get your last view.

- Look at that.
- [whistles]

[sighs]

Well, it's been a pleasure,
Fear House.

- [music continues]
- [whispered screaming]


Ethan:
I'm terrified for what Johnny
has in store for us.


[horns honking]

[engines revving]

[music continues]

- Yeah!
- Hello, Johnny.

- Hey, Johnny.
- All right.

- How are you doing?
- I'm excited.

- I'm excited, too.
- Yeah, I think I am.

And then there were two.

Welcome to your final challenge.

And before we get started,
I hope you guys remember this

as one of the most fun
and exciting times in your life.

And thank you
for making it one of mine.

Both: Thank you, Johnny.

- It has been.
- You, too.

We started with 14 incredibly
strong competitors

who came here to conquer
their very real fears,

and the whole competition
comes down to you two.

- No pressure. Mm-mm.
- No pressure at all.

A mom of two young daughters
from east Tennessee. Go, Vols!

- [cheering]
- Facing off with
our youngest competitor.

One of you is about
to walk away with $200,000.

The other is about
to walk away.

- Hmm.
- For your final challenge,

you will face your fear
of speed and failure.

- Okay.
- Ooh. Failure.

We call it Mother Trucker.

- Mother Trucker.
- Yes.

S&P wanted to call it [bleep],

and I said
we are not doing that.

We're not going to get that
past the censors.

All right.
You are going on top of these.

[engines revving]

- Oh, my God.
- What? How?

- [laughing]
- Jeez!

Oof.

Chelsea:
I'm not a stuntman.

Is this the next
"Mission: Impossible"?


Like, this looks
absolutely crazy.

[honking]

Please don't distract
from the suit. Thank you.

Here's how it's going to work.

This will be
a head to head race.

Winner takes all.

You will each begin
in the passenger seat

of a different semi truck.

These two 18-wheelers are
going to put the hammer down

and start speeding down
the track side by side.

While these trucks are
speeding around the track,

you must strategically
race a course that winds

inside and outside
of both semis.

As they're high-balling
down the track,

you've got to climb
outside of the cab.

You need to get yourself
to the side of the trailer

so you can climb
all the way to the back.

And once you're there,
you've got to search through
a bunch of boxes.

- Okay.
- What?

You're looking
for a ring of keys.

And when you have it,
come back outside.

Once again,
you have to scale the truck

while it's barreling down
the racetrack,

climb the ladder to the top
of the truck's trailer,

untether, then climb
across to the other truck.

And remember, any fall is
going to turn you into roadkill.

- [laughing]
- It's about to get wicked.

Now here's the part
you're going to like.

- Hmm.
- On the other truck
is a big box of money.

- Ooh.
- Yeah.

- Money?
- Find the right key on
your ring to open the box.

The first person who does it
wins it all.

- God.
- $200,000 and the right to say

- fear is not a factor.
- Oh, my gosh.

All right, just want
to check in and see how
you both are feeling.

- Heart's beating
really fast right now.
- Yeah. A pit in my stomach.

- I know.
- Trying to ignore it.

The mental game is big in this.

- Yeah.
- And honestly, that's why
you're both here.

- So ride that out today.
- Yeah.

- Thank you.
- Deal.

Let's do this.

[music playing]

This looks scary.
This looks dangerous.

These trucks are huge.

You could fall off
and fall to your death.

There's a lot of fears there.

Okay.
We're getting ready to go.

This is for everything.

[engines revving]

The whole season,
it all comes down to this.

- Good luck.
- Wow. The finale.

Being beside these trucks
is kind of triggering for me

because a while back
I did get in a car crash
and it was my fault.

I just wasn't
paying attention.


I'm lucky enough to be alive,

and I'm kind of
having flashbacks.


My heart is beating like
buh-bum, buh-bum, buh-bum.

And I can feel it
out of my chest.

This is the last
and final challenge.


Everything is on the line.

I want to win this
more than anything

I've ever wanted to win
in my entire life.

[laughing]

Here we go. The denouement!

On the floor
and looking for more! Go!

[horns honking]

Johnny:
This is for everything.

Winner takes all.
Here we go.

[laughing]

- Go!
- [horns blaring]

Where's need my monitor?
I need to see this.

All right,
they're mashing that motor.

Okay, they're out.

Chelsea's already up.
Ethan's a little bit slower.

Come on, buddy. Oh, man.
She's zooming across the side.

Flying. Oh, my God.
This is too much.

Ooh, they got it on the floor
and they're looking for more.

Ethan: Being on
the outside of a truck


going that fast
is terrifying.


There's a huge bar
surrounding


the whole perimeter
of the truck,


and I got to control
my balance.


I'm literally holding on
for dear life.

Johnny:
High drama here, folks.

[laughing]

All right,
Chelsea kicking into gear.

- Ugh!
- Johnny: Wow.

Ethan's tootsies
slipped off the rail.

[laughing]

Oh, my goodness.
Chelsea's in the back.

[grunting]

She's already
throwing out boxes.

But who knows?
Anything can happen.

So in one of those boxes
is a set of keys.

Chelsea's searching furiously.

Oh, there you go.
Ethan's finally in the back.

And here we go.

Oh, wow. He's moving quick.

Man, they are working!

[broad accent]
It's a real blinder!

Wow, that's a lot
of boxes to go through.

Oh, my God.
Look at all that.

They are moving.

It's in there. Find it.

Who's going to find
theirs first?

Come on.

[rattling]

Ethan found his keys.
Ethan found his keys.

Yeah!

Ethan's got the keys,
but he's still got to get
on top of the truck,

cross back over the net,
and get to the front of the
other truck to get the money.

And he's got quite
a few keys to go through.

We'll see if Chelsea's
going to catch up.

Ethan's on top of the truck
about to cross over.

Oh, my goodness.

- [rattling]
- Okay.

Chelsea's got her keys.
She's making a comeback.

- Woof!
- Ethan's got to cross over,

and that's no easy task.

Here we go.

All right, to get
from one truck to the other,

he's got to untether.

Oh, here we go. Ooh!

Holy [bleep].

All right, Chelsea's out.

She's trying to get
to the top of the truck.

And that ring has
dozens of keys on it.

It's going to be tough
finding that right one.

- All the money is in that box.
- [bleep]

Here we go.

Chelsea's on top of her truck,

but she has to get
to the other side.

- Oh, my goodness!
- [grunting]

Johnny:
Oh, h*, h*, h*!

She's catching up.
She's got her keys.

They are both going through it.

- Ahh!
- This is still anyone's game.

Oh, my God. This is crazy.

Gonna come down to the wire.

This is close.

Oh, man, they are struggling!
Figure it out!

- Aah!
- Oh, it all comes down to this,

the whole season.

Here it comes!
It's down to the end!

[bleep]

[horns honking]

The first person
to find the right key

and open their box
wins the $200,000 prize.

Chelsea: Oh, God.

Aah!

Oh, my God. Ahh!

Oh, my God.

Whoo!

Fear is not a factor!

[horns honking]

Oh! Ethan took it!

- [honking continues]
- Yeah!

Yeah, Ethan! Whoo!

- Yeah!
- Yeah, Ethan!

- [honking]
- Yeah, buddy!

Whoo!

- [explosions]
- Yeah!

- Woohoo-hoo!
- Ha-ha!

Oh, wow! He deserved it,

but, man, that was close.

They were both
going through their keys.

What more could you ask for?

Whoo!

I just won "Fear Factor."

- Whoo!
- Dude.

- You're amazing.
- Oh, my God.

This is, like--
I can't even speak right now.


[babbling]

I am so thrilled
for both of you.

- Thank you.
- I mean, Chelsea,

you played this entire--
I'm not going to cry.

You played this entire game
with so much class.

You're such a badass.

Your kids are so lucky
to have such a strong
female role model.

You did yourself proud.
You did them proud.

And the whole state
of Tennessee.

I can't wait to see
what happens with you next.

- Great job.
- Thank you.

[muted chatter]

It's so hard
when it's so close.


The story could be different,
but this experience

was a lot more emotional
and deeper than I even
thought it would be.

[screaming]

I've been conquered a lot
just within myself mentally.

Enclosed spaces,
creepy crawlies,


I definitely faced those.

- Breathe.
- The confidence you get

when you work through
these battles, it's unreal.


I kind of feel
like a new person.


And it's been tough
being away from my girls.


That's been
the biggest challenge.

They have no clue
what their mom's been up to,


so I hope they're
so proud of me.


They love superheroes

and I'm excited
to sit next to them


and show them what they're
capable of one day, too.

Just a once
in a lifetime experience,

and I'm just happy to be here,

and I'm happy
I lost to you, if anyone.

- Aww. Noggin!
- Noggin. Okay.

Ethan, you just won $200,000.
It's crazy.

What do you plan
to do with that?

First thing I'm going to do,

my dream my whole life
is to help my mom...

- Aww.
- ...help my dad, my siblings.

I have an opportunity now
to support my family

and be the man of the house
and help my family,

and relieve a lot of stress
off of our family.

- Aww.
- And the first thing

I'm going to
buy myself is a door

- because I don't have a door.
- A door?

I think that's
a fine first buy.

- That's going to feel so good.
- I agree. You need a door.

- I need a door.
- You're 20 years old.

- I'm a grown-a*s man.
- Congratulations, man.

Ethan, I think you
have earned the right to say

fear is not a factor.

Fear is not a factor, baby!

- Woohoo!
- All right, one more time.

- One more time. Last hug.
- So happy to see you guys.

- Thank you. It's been a run.
- Love you, Johnny.

Ethan:
It's a dream come true.

I overcame so many fears,

starting with
being super confined


to the point where I can't move,
and I faced that battle one.

My heart's racing.
It's scary.

The most scared I've been
is the shock challenge.


I was still scared
of electricity after that,


but now I'm like,
"Oh, my God, facing your
fears feels good."

- Three, four, five, six.
- I'm proud of you.

And through all
of these ups and downs,


I learned to let go of stuff

that's uncontrollable
and just accept it.

That's what "Fear Factor"
taught me,


and that's the biggest thing

that I'm going to
bring out of this.

Yeah!

- I can't wait to tell my mom.
- I can't wait for you

- to tell your mom.
- My mom's gonna flip, dude.

That's it. Season one.

Coming soon on Fox,

it's all new faces
and all new fears.


Welcome to "Fear Factor:


a special edition designed
to push you further than ever.

[screaming]

You will compete
in five epic challenges.

But there's one critical thing
you will not be doing.

- Sleeping.
- Oh!

This is literally
my worst nightmare.

[screaming]

You will be covered in bees.
Thousands of them.

- Oh, my God.
- We call it the pain auction.

Or as I call it, heaven.

The haircut from hell!
Needles!

I don't deal with the blood
very well at all.

- Tarantulas.
- Do they bite?

- I hope.
- Evil sushi!

You must eat everything
on your plate.

Ugh!

Just to help you
not fall asleep...

- Oh, no.
- We have to wear shock collars?

This has got to be unhumane.

- [zapping]
- [shouting]

- No, no, no!
- This is hell.

- I'm so sleep deprived.
- [zapping]


constant challenges.

- Are you trying to quit?
- Constant fear.

What, what, what, what?

I have no idea
what I just walked into.

- Here we go.
- Ow! What the--

[laughing]
