    I don't know what's worse.
    1: That someone thought of this idea as a stunt.
    2: That network execs gave it a green light.
    3: That contestants reportedly went through with it.

    Ugh. Ew. And Yuck!

    Didn't they feed contestants some type of penis (presumably not Joe Rogan's...) in one of the previous seasons?

    Did they film the stunt in Tijuana?

    Drinking donkey semen and urine? I knew Hollywood was biased towards liberals, but jeez!

    I seem to remember years ago, the producers claimed that everything they made the contestants eat was something that would be eaten by some culture somewhere in the world. In other words, they're not going to make you eat feces, because NO ONE would eat feces. But bull testicles, or blood balls, or insects are all things that someone, somewhere eats.

    I might be remembering that wrong, but I don't think so.

    Donkey semen? I think they might have given up on that guideline.

    We're about two years away from a reality show based on "Two Girls, One Cup."

    As to the thread title: Didn't Fear Factor jump the shark before it ever premiered?
