Easy Money?

Time to turn the TV off! Just been watching Fear Factor. The first challenge was quite good. Girl is submerged (into cold water inside a perspex container) and her husband must unlock three locks, while holding his breath. Interestingly, both married couples succeeded (this requires a lot of trust on the girl's part, who is stuck and relying on her partner to let her escape and grab a breath of air) and both the ordinary couples couldn't get it right, and so used an emergency gate to escape.

The two couples go through to the final. To win $25 000 a couple must transfer giant Madagascan cockroaches from one container to another by using their mouths. The guy stuffs his face into a container crawling with cockraoches, picks them up with his mouth, then passes them to his wife's mouth and she spits the damn thing out in another container. The winner transfers the most cockroaches.

Even more disgusting (on a different show)was a couple who had to transfer squid ink the same way...
