“Fear Factor” with Alexei Chadov starts at STS

April 24 at 20.00 on STS – the premiere of a new version of the legendary program “Fear Factor”. For the first time in the history of the project in Russia, 64 star participants under the supervision of the host Alexei Chadov will go through the most difficult tests in pairs.

Dava, Vladimir Marconi, Yegor Ship, Anya Pokrov, Karina Cross, Alexey Stolyarov, Maria Pogrebnyak, Yura Muzychenko, Zoya Berber, Natalia Medvedeva, Alexey Lukin, Alexander Golovin, Yulia Topolnitskaya, Natalya Zemtsova, Elena Borshcheva met their phobias in Altai, Mia Boyka, Vladimir Selivanov and others.

In each of the eight issues, the heroes faced obstacles against the backdrop of impregnable mountains, steep river rapids, dangerous terrain and incredible landscapes. To win 300 thousand rubles for one of the charitable foundations, the participants had to say goodbye to old fears.

Not only the heroes of the project, but also the host had to test themselves for strength.

“Jumping from a height of forty-seven meters, of course, was not very comfortable. But, since there was already such an experience, he endured it calmly, – Alexey Chadov shared. — On the whole, I immediately understood that it would be the brightest expedition in terms of travel, stunts, and interesting tests. For example, we flew in a helicopter over snow-capped mountains, I hung over a cliff, rode a horse. As the host, I wanted to feel the spirit of this show and tickle my nerves.”

The unpredictable weather of Altai added adrenaline to Alexey and the project participants.

“In the last shift it was minus thirty-six. In general, temperature drops could reach twenty degrees, so on some days we were saved by potbelly stoves, ”recalled Chadov, who at that time lived in a house near the Katun River.

In the STS project, the heroes passed 24 tests, none of which was repeated. The stars had to conquer turbulent rivers, fall into the icy water of the Altai lakes, overcome fiery obstacles, and try cocktails from local insects.

“For me, Fear Factor is a show that basically motivated me to become a blogger. And I immediately admitted that I was most afraid of loneliness, snakes and heights, ”said Alexei Stolyarov, who had to jump from one platform to another at the height of a fourteen-story building.

Blogger Anya Pokrov also experienced acrophobia. Hanging at a thirty-meter height, she could agree to the proposal of the hand and heart of a friend of Lyosha Yanger.

“If you pass the test first, I will tell you three hundred yes,” Anya motivated him.

The fearlessness of the star girls struck even Alexei Chadov. In one of the episodes, he admired the resilience of TV presenter and ex-wife of football player Alexander Kerzhakov Milana Tyulpanova: the girl had to drink four large cocktails of crickets, zofobas, cockroaches and maggots at once.

Another hero of the show, the star of “Kadetstvo” and “Yolok” Alexander Golovin, tested the body’s capabilities by trying bull’s eyes, and then throwing rats into a bucket with his mouth.

“The most difficult thing is to overcome the gag reflex,” said the actor. – I closed my eyes and thought: “I wish this would all end soon.” It was terrible!”
