Fear Factor: He Throws Like A Girl, But Wins
Reality TV Stars Episode 3 Recap by AP N Tenn

The conclusion of the Fear Factor reality Stars is here. Will Tana and Craig from the Apprentice, or Carmen and Anthony of American Idol, be able to beat the powerhouse duo of Mike and Trachelle from the Real World?
The teams gather in an old office. Carmen is sporting curly tresses, and she and Anthony match up in yellow. Craig and Tana declare that they are there for the $150,000. Mike and Trachelle state that they are only there to keep winning.
In the first of two stunts, the ladies will be chained and locked to a sleigh, and wheeled into a cylinder shaped tunnel, where spiders and all sorts of creepy crawly bugs will be dumped on their heads. The men will have to turn a large wheel to move the ladies back and forth, as they retrieve keys from an icy container. None of the reality stars will be eliminated this round; the winner will get Two Tivo systems with lifetime subscriptions and $20,000. Joe pulls out a large barrel and out pops Johnny Fairplay to co-host the show with Joe.
Carmen and Anthony are up first, she looks scared to death, and there are massive spider webs everywhere in the tunnel. Anthony jumps into the ice, and he struggles to get the key. Joe remarks that he looks cold. Carmen has to grab the key with her mouth while trying not to eat any of the spiders. Again Anthony goes slowly, while looking for the 2nd key, Carmen screams for help. Anthony struggles and goes very, very slow. Johnny Fairplay's big appearance seems to fall flat as he hardly says anything. After more than 14 minutes into the stunt, Anthony is moving in slow motion. Joe threatens to pull him out. I can't believe that Carmen is able to endure all of the creepy spiders all over her body. At the 17-minute mark, they have to pull Anthony out of the ice for his own safety. After getting out of the tunnel, Carmen shows off her bug bites.
The Miz and Trachelle are up next, Joe asks if the Johnny Fairplay appearance will factor into his performance. Mike doesn't get the joke, and neither do I. Johnny is just standing there. Trachelle has slight trouble grabbing the first key. Mike plans to find all of the cans first before jumping out of the ice, a brilliant strategy. After only 2 minutes, he starts the wheel to pull Trachelle out. Johnny asks Mike, what takes him so long, and it makes me question why Fairplay was brought back, he has no comedic skills. The Miz and Trachelle finish in 7 minutes and 57 seconds.
Surely Craig and Tana will have the sense to follow Mike's brilliant strategy. Tana gets strapped in, as Craig blazes through spinning the wheel. Joe loudly reminds Craig of Mike's strategy and quickly grabs all of the canisters with the keys and rushes over to wheel out Tana, as Johnny yells lame jokes over on the sidelines. The Miz and Trachelle look pissed as if they can win every stunt. Tana and Craig blaze through, Craig has no fear of touching the spiders and they finish in 5 minutes and 26 seconds. Mike declares that he is not a sore looser, he just hates getting beat by his own strategy.
Joe reveals that it is an elimination going on as Johnny Fairplay is left behind, he advises Fear Factor to give the $$ to charity, the Johnny Fairplay Foundation.
The last stunt is set; Craig and Tana get to choose first. This is a blockbuster stunt. Fear Factor has saved the best for last. Each team member will be seated in a convertible, as it is suspended 120 feet in the air. On go, they will have to get up and toss and catch balls to one another.
Apparently the night before, Anthony sent Trachelle chocolate covered strawberries to her room. The Miz and Trachelle are up first of course, since as winners from yesterday, Craig and Tana gets to pick the order.
The Miz begins tossing the balls, the first two balls miss, Trachelle catches the third, and the Miz is a terrible thrower and tosses the balls wildly. At the end of the 90 seconds, the cars crash into one another and fall to the ground, as the Miz and Trachelle are suspended in the air. They finish with a total of 3 balls.
Back at the sidelines, The Miz puts on a brave face and claim to be happy with his 3 balls. Carmen and Anthony are up next. Anthony uses a softball type pitch, and Carmen quickly catches two of the balls are the cars separate, they are forced to stand, Anthony begins pitching wildly, after 90 seconds, they have only 2 balls and they go home losers.
It is up to Craig and Tana to blow the Miz and Trachelle out and take home the cash. Mike admits that he is nervous. Craig unhooks his balls, a new strategy and tosses them quickly, Tana quickly catches one, but it is a slow go for the other balls, and they lose. Mike and Trachelle are the winners, no big surprise there.
