Fear Factor - Guantanamo Bay

Fear and uncertainty was felt by 16 U.S. Naval Station Guantanamo Bay residents who scrounged up enough courage to partake in the first Morale, Welfare and Recreation Fear Factor competition, Feb. 24.

“When you walked up to the [Windjammer] pool and the first thing you smelled were rotting fish, you started to really think about the kind of fools that would sign up for such a challenge,” said Meghan Phillips, a Soldier deployed to Joint Task Force Guantanamo and participant in the competition.

Only eight two-person teams accepted the challenge to compete in the three events that tested their mettle to do whatever was deemed necessary to win the competition. Despite the limited competitors that could sign up, many spectators showed up to watch the grossly humorous events as well as to provide support.

The Fear Factor competition began with “The Swamp Swim,” where one member of each team would submerse themselves in a container filled with murky water, dead fish and squid. The task was to retrieve 20 washers that were thrown in the bucket in less than three minutes. While most tried to keep their face above water, as time wore on they succumbed to dunking themselves entirely to obtain all the washers. After the first event, two teams were eliminated; one didn’t finish in the time allowed and the other had the longest time.
