Fear Factor: The second season premiered on January 7, 2002. Bobbing for plumbs in a snake filled container was the grossest competition in the season premiere.

New York Times critic Caryn James called Fear Factor "a terrible show." However, I found it to be rather entertaining. :)

The Rats from the first season premiere were raised in a laboratory, according to executive producer Matt Kunitz. He said, they "are as clean as rats can be." I assume that they were also tame as rats can be, too.

First season premiere: Contestants were dragged by a horse, were covered with 400 live rats and had to climb around the water-slicked hood of a car suspended hundreds of feet in the air from a crane. The show won its Monday time slot in last week's Nielsen ratings.
