THE FEAR FACTOR FILE
STUNT: BUG ROPES
LOCATION: LOS ANGELES ARBORETUM, CA
DESCRIPTION: Contestants must transfer mouthfuls of worms, maggots and beetles off a series of four bug-covered ropes. The contestant that transfers the least amount of bugs in a set amount of time will be eliminated.

FEAR FACT

  • The Los Angeles Arboretum is home to over 127 acres of botanical gardens and was used as one of the primary locations for Fantasy Island.
  • A special concoction of rotten fish and blended worms was developed to flavor the edible adhesive used to secure the live bugs to the ropes.
  • The temperature inside the green house location was over 120 degrees.
