Action
oriented channel AXN is set to send pulses racing with four
new shows. Fear Factor II, Courage, Rescue
911 and Without Warning which will premiere this
month.
The second season of Fear Factor premieres 12 August
at 9 pm. According to an official release, the show is powered
by two celebrity specials - a Playmate special and a WWE
special. Participants are pushed into difficult situations
where their grit, mettle and tenacity is tested to the ultimate
limits. In each episode, six people are confronted with
a series of challenging and life threatening stunts demanding
co-ordination of mind and body. Contestants are put through
three tasks - if they complete their tasks, they advance,
if fear stops them from completing a stunt, they are immediately
eliminated. The contestant who wins the final challenge
takes home a grand prize of $50,000.
