For the other team, even though you learned the hard way that it's always easier to play game shows at home than in the studio itself, I hope you had fun anyway.

FF: This two-part episode titled "The Bees Are So Angry" was the first show back for the "Fear factor" crew in terms of taping. The teams needing to face five stunts tonight in order to split at least $100K are:

Aaron & Dana (exes; he broke up w/ her because he didn't like her charisma)
Zak & Misty (who first met on Craigslist just to compete on this show)
Troy & Dorothy (Marines; he was a Sergeant & she was a Corporal back in Iraq)
Edward & Jennifer
Keith & Laurann (exes who broke up shortly after they applied to be on the program three days before they taped)

Opening Stunt: While one-half of each team's strapped to the helicopter's "belly net", they first need to be released by their partner onto hopefully one of two floating platforms, where the first teammate has to pull a flag from either of those platforms (whether on top of it or on the bottom of it while s/he's in the water) to stop the clock.

D & A- 2:47 (Dana busted her nose towards the end)

M & Z- 2:13

E & J- 2:16.1

D & T- 1:52.2

L & K- 1:24

Bee Stunt: One teammate's hung by a gallows & bound to the wrist & covered by 100K+ bees, but their partner's required to eat 20 of the live ones before they can grab the bee-covered axe handle to smash a bee-covered box & collect an axe head. Once they've formed their axe, they have to chop a rope on a tree stump to free their partner & stop their timer.

M & Z- 1:54.2

L & K- 1:51.1

J & E- 3:15.7

D & T- 2:44.3

Stunt #3: One player per team's in a window of an office building 13 stories (150 feet) above the ground collecting flags in the planters within two minutes. Once time expires, their partner will be launched right out of that window & be given one sandbag for each flag his/her teammate found to throw at a target on the ground. The team who has a sandbag closest to the bullseye will win a $5K bonus & get control of the team order for the next challenge.

Sandbags Closest to the Center:

L & K- 65 INCHES

Z & M- WIPEOUT

D & T- DITTO

Other Elimination Stunt: There's a box w/ 500+ bull testicles & a teammate's strapped to a blade that will repeatedly go into the water. The other player for every team has to grab one of those testicles w/ their mouth & put it in their teammate's mouth before s/he spits it into a receptacle box. They've got four minutes to get as many of the testicles into the box as they can.

T & D- FOUR

Z & M- FIVE

K & L- 11

$100K STUNT: Each team's teammate has to first be freed from the handcuffs on top of that black 18-wheeler before they can grab the attached steering wheel together & run back to a specially-rigged car w/ fire designs on it. While the car's being driven, one teammate has to work the pedals from the passenger seat. The car has to be driven through a small obstacle course before going inside that truck to end their run.

FINAL RESULTS:

K & L- 2:19

Z & M- WIN BY ABOUT FIVE SECONDS!
