What Parents Need to Know
About Fear Factor
Parents need to know that this series is a compilation of dangerous, potentially life-threatening stunts and gross-out challenges. Contestants prove that people will do anything for money, including putting their own self-respect through the shredder. Some kids may be inspired to try to re-create the challenges at home, despite the show's warnings not to.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about self-respect. The contestants on the show undergo vile and outrageous stunts for money. Have your kids ever faced similar "I dare you" situations at school? If so, how did they react? Is it ever worth putting yourself at such risk to win a prize? How much of what you see on screen do you think really happened that way? How can editing affect viewers' perception of what they see?
