Fear Factor

By Jacinta Clark | Posted: Wednesday May 27, 2020

On May 29, 2020 Room 5 will be doing a challenge called Fear Factor.

Fear Factor is where you run a lap of the field and then you eat something awful. 

For example, here are the things we had to eat last time: cold brussel sprouts, blue cheese, mussels, weetbix with marmite, baby food, pickles and pickled onions. 

This year we are expecting disgusting foods such as a dinner smoothie (broccoli, spinach, brussel sprouts), breakfast smoothie (baked beans with weetbix) and frog eggs.

We have interviewed the following people to see what they think about Fear Factor:

Mr. Straker (Room 5 Teacher):

• Who had the best reaction?
• Too many, all of them were hilarious!
• What was the worst food in your opinion?
• Probably the cold boiled brussel sprouts.

Angus (Room 5):

• What did you have to eat?
• Plain brussel sprouts and mussels.
• What was the reaction you had to the foods?
• Disgust.
• Would you do it again?
• No.

Olivia T (Room 13 - ex-Room 5 student):

• What did you have to eat?
• Mussels and baby food.
• Who was in your team?
• Lily, Luke, and Vincent.
• Whose reaction was the funniest?
• Cory’s because he was almost vomiting on the court

We are hoping to see some funny reactions on Friday. Wish us good luck for more awful food.
