Real People, Real Stunts--Fear Factor!
One of my roommates in college will admit that she got me interested in watching Fear Factor. Not addicted to it, mind you, but interested. Even now, I sometimes watch it if there is nothing else on Monday night. (I know, I live a sad existence...) Basically, I just watch the second stunt, the one where they do the mental challenge instead of the physical. I like watching people eat really disgusting things, especially if they gag and make retching noises while they do it.
Well, I had my own reality experience last night. I was sitting in the dark, watching Golden Girls on late-night TV. I was also having the midnight munchies, so I was eating some tasty trail mix with peanuts, almonds, M&Ms, and raisins.
In the bluish glow of my TV during commercials, I noticed I had dropped an almond on the floor. Since almonds are a rare commodity in this particular brand of trail mix, I picked it up from the floor (I live by myself, so eating off the floor isn't quite as questionable) and popped it in my mouth.
Crunch. Wiggle. Squirt. Gag. Spit. Curse.
What I thought was an almond was actually a bug. It was dark enough and I was nauseated enough that I didn't look carefully enough to see what kind after I had spit the parts into my hand.
Gross.
If Fear Factor is interested in me, I'm available...
(Not quite what I ate, I don't think...but it was too dark to tell.)

Man, that is really really gross. Ewww! I would never survive on Fear Factor (unless they're eating balut. Balut is awesome.)
