Chapter 666 Fear Factor Perry and his wife were team 14, so they diligently watched the first 13 teams do the stunt. Everyone's eyes were glued on the scene, as they tried to get any tricks or shortcuts in doing the challenge fast. "Honey, you get coated in the worms and I'll handle transporting them to the glass," Perry said quietly. Right now, they needed to come up with a strong game plan to win this quick. So far, the fastest team was team 6 with a time of 3 minutes and 35 seconds. They watched everything patiently, and soon... it was their time. "Alright Perry and Jean, your up!" "Wooow!" They yelled, clapped and went to the side. Of course, his wife removed her clothes revealing a bathing suit that looked like she was wearing tight biker shorts and a tight shirt. But the bathing suit had a large circular hole on the front and back. This was the swimsuit specifically advised for all women on the show. That way, when they were going to get in, the worms would bite their backs, bellies, hands and legs. They wanted it to be somewhat fair since the men just wore shorts when they went into the tub of worms. Perry looked at his wife and gave her an encouraging smile when he saw her panicky look. "70k Jean...70k. Say this in your mind and it will all be over soon. This money is for our son's future." Perry whispered. And soon, Jean stabilized herself and nodded back at him. That's right! They were already here, so what was there to be afraid of? And if others had already done it, then what more of her? Her son might even watch this when he grew up, so she would definitely show him her brave side. With that thought, her mindset completely changed. . "Perry, Jean.... your time begins in 3... 2...1 ... go!" Like lighting, Jean rushed towards the bucket of old cow's blood and dumped it on her body hastily. She then took 5 more seconds to coat it properly on her exposed parts, before rushing towards the Vat of Bindy worms. She had learned from the other contestants that if one didn't coat their bodies properly, then these worms wouldn't stick onto their bodies. The worms were only attracted to dead tasting things, so they bit the coated areas because they were tricked into thinking that the old cow's blood came from them. So the more coated one was, the more worms would stick to them. Jean rolled around in the vat like a pig in a sty. Just looking at the worms made her want to throw up. But when she thought of the money, she just gritted her teeth and continued coating herself with more worms. As soon as the worms located the blood, they clung unto her like glue and continuously scratched and bit her as much as they could. Dammit! These bastards were really something else. She let out a soft whimper, quickly got out of the vat and ran towards her darling husband... as if saying: Get them off me now!! Of course Perry didn't waste any time, as he started grabbing the warms and running towards the glass to spit them in it. He opened his mouth as wide as he could and even grabbed 2 or 3 worms in the process. It was as if he was ready to take a big chunk of meat off a juicy chicken. The other contestants were also shocked as well. All of them had been grabbing one at a time while scrunching up their faces in disgust. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢 But Perry was like: F***! This... I'm here to win. He almost swallowed one in the process but couldn't care less. And just like that, the dynamic duo had completed the challenge in 2 minutes, 43 seconds. Of course, contestants 15 to 19 tried to cipher his style... but they just couldn't do it. One of them took a big chunk and puked it all out before he could even put them in the glass. One should know that the bugs were still alive and swimming in their mouths... so it felt utterly disgusting. Everyone looked at Perry strangely and couldn't help but wonder how he even coped with it all. But just like them, Perry had also struggled to keep it all together when he used that strategy. In fact, he had almost messed it up too. If not for his wife's fierce gaze, he would never have kept it together. Typically, after each team performed, they could step aside, clean up and join the rest to cheer those still participating. After all, they had to get the remaining worms off those who finished participating immediately. And so just like that, the first challenge came to an end with Perry and Jean taking the lead. So they were going onto the next round. And unfortunately, team 11 had to drop out of the competition. . The first stunt and clean up were done in 2 hours before they proceeded to the next stunt. This time, they were locked in a cage and submerged underwater. But the top of the cage was actually on the water surface and had 2 face-sized holes on top of it. So when they needed air, they could swim up to and pit their faces against the hole for air. Their task this time was to escape from the cage as fast as they could. The anxiety and fear caused many contestants to waste so much time on it. This time, Perry and Jean came out 7th, so they still advanced. As for the third stunt, they had to climb 2 extremely long poles, get some keys off them, zipline downwards, give it to their partners who would then rock climb a tall cliff and open 2 chest boxes there. Of course their partner would take the items in the chest, zipline downwards and solve a puzzle using the clues from the chest. In that stunt, Jean and Perry were 5th this time. They had made it! They were still in the running for winning 70k! Perry hugged Jean tightly and hummed the words '70k' all the way home. Today was really an interesting and fun-filled day. He had never experienced anything like it, which made him feel young again... as if he was still a 12-year-old boy. Ahh... now, he was an old 21-year-old man, who still had it! "Hahhahahahaha! 70k... 70k... 70k Honey, give me a kiss." "No way! nig until you brush your teeth 7 times and gaggle 15 more times with mouthwash!" (-_-) . And so just like that, the TV show Fear Factor continued to record its episodes alongside the contestants. The days went by and finally, the awaited battle had reached Baymard's shores.
