Fear Factor, to pit against Survivor
ABSCBN acquired the rights for Fear Factor, to pit against Survivor Philippines on GMA7. There’s no clear and final title yet as of writing as the management is choosing between, Pinoy Fear Factor or Fear Factor Philippines.
In the US, the show pits contestants against each other to complete a series of stunts better and/or quicker than all the other contestants for a grand prize of US$50,000. From Seasons One to Five, the contestants were generally three men and three women, all playing for themselves, but in Season Six, the show moved to a permanent format of four teams of two people, each with a pre-existing relationship with one another, all playing for a shared prize of the same amount. Choices to host the show are Ryan Agoncillo, Derek Ramsey, Willie Revillame, Cesar Montano and Edu Manzano.
