Pre-pageant Special

Six Miss USA contestants competed in a special edition of Fear Factor. Fear Factor is an American stunt/dare reality game show which was originally created by Endemol Netherlands and first aired on June 11, 2001. ...

  • The contestants involved were:
Miss Fear Factor: Sarah-Elizabeth Langsford (Miss District of Columbia USA 2005)
2nd place tie: Brittany Hogan (Miss California USA 2005),
3rd place: Meaghan Jarensky (Miss New York USA 2005)
4th place: Laci Scott (Miss Oklahoma USA 2005)
5th place: Christina Nardozzi (Miss Massachusetts USA 2005)
6th place: Kristen Johnson (Miss Kentucky USA 2005)
Stunt #1 (Water beams): Contestants had to work their way around a square-shaped beam structure and collect up to ten flags before jumping into the water below. The beams were rigged with high-pressure jets that sprayed water during the stunt. The four contestants who completed the stunt in the fastest time or those that collected the flags the fastest before falling advanced to the next round.
Stunt #2 (Triple Dump Tunnel) Contestants fought a high pressure water hose to make their way through a plexiglass tunnel whilst attempting to pull down three chains and collect a key from each. The hose stopped after the retrieval of the second key. Each time they retrieved a key, a bucket containing 55 gallons of disgusting contents would be dumped on them. The first bucket contained dead fish and fish guts, the second bucket contained fish oil, and the third bucket contained red worms and super worms. At the end of the tunnel the contestants had to use the keys to open three locks, open a door, and grab a flag. The three that completed this stunt the fastest advanced to the finals.
Stunt #3 (Helicopter net-cage) Contestants had to work their way around the outside of a square-shaped cage made of cargo netting suspended under a helicopter, attempting to release 5 flags from the sides of the cage and 1 flag from the bottom of the cage. The one who released the most flags the fastest before falling into the water below won the competition.
