Barbaric Fear Factor
I'm disgusted and disappointed in Fear Factor and e.tv for actually broadcasting such a barbaric program. The poor people desperate for R250 000 are blinded by money and the contracts they signed are for cheap entertainment.

They could at least have ensured proper safety gear. Although Africa is rough – the directors and producers of this show should have used their common sense.

I watched Monday's episode and I was horrified at the inhumane way the contestants were handled. Surely they should have protective head gear, and protective clothing to avoid such injuries! And the worst of it, displaying an injured contestant for the nation to see... so what happens if her relatives that have not seen her lately saw that on TV? And then to top it all, the show continued as if nothing happened! We were not told whether she survived or not, probably on the next episode which I will not be watching!
