I know we’re supposed laud creative, thought-provoking, Breaking Bad-type series… but one of my favorite 2011 treats was Fear Factor‘s return on NBC. The two hour season premiere was no doubt trivial but also unrivaled and entertaining. I don’t know if anything they do this season will gross me out — or make me as uneasy — as the tank of cow blood did, but they certainly can try.
For the most part, the new season has been every bit as audacious as the producers said they would make it (though, I’m sure some would rather they stick to actual fear instead of ridiculous stunts that make it seem like an obstacle course), and tonight’s all new episode “Snake Bite” will probably be no different.
Especially to those who have a fear of snakes. Check out the sneak peek video below.

This sucks! It does not borderline animal cruelty - IT IS ANIMAL CRUELTY!!! If someone was biting and flinging puppies or kittens you'd have a revolution on your hands!!
This is just sick. Half of those ball pythons were just little babies. This is definately and 100% animal cruelty. A lot of people love fear factor and I used to be one of them. But after this I can guarantee you lost a lot if not all of viewers in the world of herps. Those baby snakes could get seriously injured the way you guys are treating them. You guys should've thown hot snakes in there maybe someone could have paid for this stupidity. I hope you guys get salmonela!
completely out of order and unnecessary. put a load of snakes on a guy in a tub... fine, but dont sling them about or bite them! animal cruelty for public enjoyment! no better then bear bating or cock fighting! i think you should all do it again but this time with a tub full of green tree pythons.
This made me sick, I couldn't imagine doing that to my ball pythons. The poor little guys were probably stressed for weeks. I just hope none of them were seriously injured.
I really wish I could say she was crying because she felt bad for the animals. But we all know that's not the case.
Shame on you all.
That is horrible!! How can someone even justify this?? This is animal cruelty! A snake's body is rather delicate, especially as a baby. Who knows what could have happened to them as contestants were biting down on them? How this was EVER allowed to happen I will never understand! Snakes are animals and need to be treated with the same respect as a cat or dog! This is downright cruel. I sincerely hope that someone gets in severe trouble over this, it is unacceptable!!
Truly horrifying that animal cruelty is being shown as an acceptable form of entertainment. It sickens me that these gentle animals are being treated this way just because some people are phobic of them. Those snakes are only babies, too... :(
This is terrible. I thought humans were done with pointlessly harming animals for sport and spectacle. Those baby snakes probably have bruises and broken ribs now, and won't be able to eat for weeks because of the stress! Shameful.
Is there nothing that can be done about this?? I own a Ball Python and I know that this could harm a snake. I am truly disgusted that NBC supports this type of animal cruelty.
I agree that this is blatant animal CRUELTY and like Jacob said IF they where biting and flinging puppies or kittens people would be going nuts.
I will NEVER support NBC again and they should be ashamed.ALL about ratings and $$$$.No care or feelings for the animals health and safety.
Simply DISGUSTING.
