Ep 15. Reality TV Royal Rumble

In episode 15 of Fear Factor season 2, titled "Reality TV Royal Rumble," contestants are put to the test in a competition that pits them against each other in a battle for the title of Ultimate Reality TV Star.

The episode begins with host Joe Rogan introducing the contestants, who are made up of past contestants from various reality TV shows. Some of the most notable contestants include Omarosa from The Apprentice, Puck from The Real World, and Ryan from The Bachelorette.

The first challenge sees the contestants paired up and strapped to the hoods of speeding cars. The pairs must work together to retrieve flags placed on the hoods of the opposing team's car, all while trying to avoid obstacles and remain on the hood of their own car.

The second challenge takes place in a pool filled with live eels. Contestants must dive underwater and retrieve numbered tiles, using the numbers to solve a puzzle. The twist? Each time a contestant comes up for air, they must take a bite out of a raw fish head.

Next, the contestants are blindfolded and placed in a room filled with various insects, including tarantulas, cockroaches, and crickets. The blindfolds are removed, and the contestants must locate and retrieve a key hidden in the room while being pelted with the insects.

In the fourth challenge, the contestants are placed in a pitch-black maze and must retrieve flags while being chased by dogs. The contestants must use a handheld GPS device to navigate the maze and avoid being caught by the dogs.

The fifth challenge sees the contestants buried alive in coffins filled with rats and snakes. They must work quickly to uncover a key buried with them in the coffin and use it to unlock themselves and escape the coffin.

Finally, the last challenge is a head-to-head battle between the two remaining contestants. The challenge involves a rotating platform, with each contestant holding onto a pole. The first contestant to be thrown off the platform loses the challenge and is eliminated.

Throughout the episode, the contestants are pushed to their physical and mental limits, with each challenge becoming more intense and anxiety-inducing than the last. With the added pressure of competing against fellow reality TV stars and the fear of being eliminated, the stakes are higher than ever.

"Reality TV Royal Rumble" is a thrilling episode that showcases the extreme nature of Fear Factor and the resilience of its contestants. The intense challenges, paired with the drama of the reality TV stars competing against each other, makes for one of the most memorable episodes of the series.
