Pinoy Fear Factor premieres Monday night

Monday, November 10, 2008

Crossing a rolling beam above freezing waters, moving cow's eyes or live crablets using the mouth, and diving underwater to free a doll trapped in a car.
 
These are just some of the challenges that the 12 daring “participantes” will have to face when ABS-CBN's biggest reality game show "Pinoy Fear Factor: Argentina, South America" premieres Monday night.

"Pinoy Fear Factor" brings together 12 fit, strong, and agile men and women who will have to hurdle heart-thumping and gut-wrenching stunts and challenges or face elimination.
 
The last person standing will be proclaimed the first El Ultimo Participante of "Pinoy Fear Factor," winning the grand prize of P2 million and a house and lot from Avida.
 
ABS-CBN recently revealed the identities of the participantes, namely:

Model Gail is the Bikini Summit '07 winner who is scared of heights and dark places.  She is used to pressure being a Lady Tiger Spiker and the breadwinner of her family.
 
Stand-up comedienne Janna fears spiders and closed spaces. She is determined to become "Pinoy Fear Factor's" first El Ultimo Participante`.
