665 70,000 Bays!
As the couples all mingled and spoke with each other, it didn't take long before they spotted his Majesty Landon Barn who was immediately swarmed with makeup professions on the scene.
And soon, more makeup people came towards them swiftly.
"Give them touch-ups quickly."
And so many soft fluffy brushes came their way, and they also had a light layer of healing palm placed on their lips too.
On camera, it was the crew's job to make sure that no sweat or cracked lips appeared on them.
Of course heavy makeup wasn't done on them.
Just light power here and here, as well as ensuring that their bodies were well oiled up too.
And while the touch-up people did their thing, the director and co-director also walked towards the contestants and once again explained what they would be during soon.
The previously relaxed atmosphere had now turned into a serious room one in a heartbeat.
So this was how the legendary crews worked.
Everyone felt utterly thrilled, as they clenched their fists in determination.
70,000 Bays
That was the prize money!
That was the same as 7 gold coins or 700 silver coins or 70,000 Copper coins.
No matter how crazy the stunts were, they were now ready to get that dough!
So as things started getting serious, all the contestants quickly focused on the money.
Like they say in show biz, keep your eyes on the prize.
.
Soon everyone was ready, and the cameras began rolling.
"I'm Collin Boar and this is Fear Factor!
The stunts you are about to see are designed and supervised by trained professionals.
They're extremely dangerous and should never be attempted by anyone, anywhere, anytime.
Now, Welcome to fear factor!
And this time it's the season from the underworld... where teams are placed in the worst hell for a chance to win 70,000 Bays.
And it only gets hotter from here.
Because in this episode, the teams will have to go head to head with each other to face their fears.
They would have to 'worm' their way in, conquer their fear of drowning and fear of heights.
Who will go all the way for 70 K?
Stay turned on this episode of Fear Factor: The Underworld!"
A pre-recorded voice clip from the host was played out.
And as the speakers echoed out the clip, the contestants all walked towards the spot that they were assigned to stand on as planned.
Of course as they walked, several cool video shots of them were taken as well.
When everything was edited out, these cool shots and some major highlights on today's show will be compiled together with the voice clip for the episode's intro.
"This is Fear Factor!
And today, we have 19 teams in the show... and they have absolutely no idea about the hell that I'm about to put them through.
But they're going to have to face their fears if they want to win 70,000 Bays.
Once more, welcome to the Fear Factor's Underworld episode."
The host said while walking towards the contestants who were clapping, smiling and laughing enthusiastically.
"Now, let's welcome our special guest for this season...his Majesty Landon Barn!"
"Welcome your majesty!" Everyone said excitedly.
Landon just looked at them and smiled.
"Today, you brave people have all come here to put yourselves to the test and go beyond your limits.
This TV show was created to make you all rise above your fears.
So, do you think that you're up for the challenge?"
"Yeah!"
"Yeah!"
"Woooppp!"
"Great!
I like your spirits!
So here's how fear factor works.
Today, you must conquer 3 challenges that will put you through hell.
And after every challenge, a team will be eliminated.
So by the end of the day, the remaining 17 teams will still have a shot of winning 70K, while the other 3 teams will be disqualified.
Now, are you all ready for your first stunt?"
"Yeah!!!"
With that, everyone cheered excitedly.
They didn't need to do any intro because a few days back, they had already done pre-recorded intros of themselves for the show.
And from what they were told, after all the episodes were done, they would watch their clips and make commentaries on what went wrong or right too.
So everything would only add up later on.
Right now, all they had to do was perform the stunts.
.
"Wooowhhhh!"
"Bring on the challenge!" They cheered.
"Alright!
You all heard his majesty.
So challenge yourselves to face your fears.
Now, everyone knows of the common torture method of tarring and feathering... where hot wood tar would be poured on a person and feathers asked later on.
But naturally, as a grown Baymardian society would never do something so primitive.
So instead, if you want to still be in the running for winning 70,000 Bays... then you must be covered in old cow's blood, and these!"
Immediately, the host took off the yellow cloth on the table before them... revealing a glass full of thick fat worms in them.
Uhhhhh!
Everyone almost puked at the sight of these digesting creatures.
One should know that the worms that had been chosen, are the ones that were typically seen next poop and other disgusting rotting items.
They were really fat, blue, big, and had a circular mouth that bit one several times over and over.
These worms were hated by all and were called Bindy Worms.
"Alright, here's how this challenge works.
One person on each team will dump a bucket of old cow's blood all over them.
The cow's blood-covered person will then run over and drive into that of Bindy worms.
Yes!
These worms will bite and scratch you, but don't worry about it.
Because your partner will be right there to get them off you.
That's right, their job is to collect as many worms off your body, get it to that glass and fill it up to that marked line on the glass
And in case I forgot to mention... since your hands will be tied, you can only use your mouth to get these worms off your partner.
And remember, the faster you are, the better your chances of winning 70,000 Bays.
Now, let the first stunt begin!"
.
Perry looked at the worms and looked towards the sky one more time.
'70k... 70k... 70K
I can do this!'
