Fear Factor !

Yes, I am talking about this new show on a new TV channel - Colors.

It is a show based on an international format where the selected participants are made to do stunts with various difficulties thrown in.

This time the show is hosted by Akshay Kumar. He is known for his dare devil stunts that he performs (or rather used to) in his movies. The channel got the casting of the host spot on.

The participants selected were all ladies / girls / females. All of them somewhere famous in their own right ranging from Ex-Supermodels to current Supermodels to TV actors to failed Bollywood actors to item girls. Good faces to look at. Each of them have an ex-army guy as a partner for the show.

The 1st episode kicked off with a stunt where the girls had to jump off a moving helicopter into a lake and land in between the specified colored area. And I was actually quite shocked to see these girls do that pretty well. And then they moved onto the next stunt.

This stunt comprised of plucking out the maximum number of fruits from a glass tank filled with water with your mouth. Sounds easy, right ? Not when the tank was filled up with creepy, slimy snakes of different shapes, sizes,colors, thickness - YUCK YUCK YUCK.

I would have never done something like that for any thing in the world. But all these girls tried and a lot of them did pretty well too.

I was shocked, well and truly shocked ! Never expected these pretty girls to even try something like this. I was impressed.

The 2nd episode that aired yesterday consisted of a stunt where a few African spiders were released over the faces of the girls and their hands were tied. They had to pull out the correct key from many keys hanging in front of them, with their mouth and unlock themeselves.

The 2nd stunt of the 2nd episode was climbing right to the top, near the roof of a building and then walking across the walls on a thin ledge with vaccum holders in their hands. Awesome and really thrilling.

Again, never expected these girls to do it so well. Kudos to them.

Akshay Kumar does well as the host egging the participants on and cracking jokes. The roles of the ex-army partners is still not clear to me though.

I am hooked and am waiting for the 3rd episode tonight @ 10 on Colors.

I suggest you guys give it a view over once. It is fun.
