I like this show. Sunday's episode was cool when they had the contestants strapped down in a box and put 200 rats in it. I can't wait for Spy TV on Thursday. It's like a new-age version of candid camera.

that's why everyone watches these shows, right? (not so much fear factor)

the possibility of seeing a boobie? hmm, maybe two folks in the house on big brother will get it on? or, maybe there'll be a fight, too!

get a life folks!

I don't need a TV Show to give me a boobie shot. Besides, SpyTv IS NOT a voyeurism show. It's like candid camera.

Pretty disappointed in Fear Factor (although I have only seen pieces of the past two shows)

I was expecting something that was finely tuned to the candidates (ex. Would you agree to conquer your fear of heights by tightrope walking between two buildings or will your opponent overcome her fear of snakes by getting into a pit of them?)

Instead, they have generic "stunts" and even label them as such. What is the "fear" in being dragged behind a horse while holding a tow rope? Isn't it more of endurance?

Also, why are people backing out of the creepy, crawly (i.e. bug challenges)? Those are the least risky and if you are going on the show you should be expecting them.

Thumbs down Fear Factor sucks

You aren't conquering your fears at all on Fear Factor. Everything except the things where you have rats crawling on top of you or being in a bath tub with the worms, everything is staged. Jumping between the two trucks, if you miss you get caught by the rope, nothing scary there.

I thought the stunts today were really unimaginative. We've already seen the eating bugs/worms thing. That waterski --> helicopter thing was a joke. I really wanted that black girl to fall, she was being really mean to the white girl during the bowling challenge.

Spy TV today! The show's tricks are a little bit better than Candid Camera's, but I don't like it how they portray themselves as some top secret agency with cameras everywhere. Too hokey.

Anyone watch today's fear factor? I was really surprised at the ending. If that cop would've just taken his time putting in the flag, he would've had it, but he just freaked.

I really don't like these new reality and "high adventure" shows about making people suffer. What ever happened to the A-Team!?!?! I pitty the foo who watches survivor.

Of course, that's just my $0.02
