Celebrities You Forgot Appeared On Fear Factor

Reality stars Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi and Deena Cortese competed as a team known as Team Meatballs in 2018, as shown on the official Fear Factor Facebook. Their Fear Factor appearance was nearly a decade after they first appeared on MTV's Jersey Shore (2009 and 2010, respectively). Polizzi was a mom of two young sons when she signed up for Fear Factor, and they inspired her to do it. "I want [my kids] to be at least proud of something that I've done on TV," she said of her Fear Factor appearance.

Polizzi and Cortese called themselves Team Meatballs because they represented the short, curvy girls, and Polizzi revealed that her biggest fears were ghosts, aliens, monsters, the dark, and heights. Apparently, she didn't like scorpions very much either. During one challenge, the Meatballs played a spin the bottle game involving creepy crawlers and landed on a crab, a millipede, a hornworm, and a scorpion. They were tasked with moving the creatures with just their mouths and succeeded in moving three of them. Unfortunately, after the scorpion bit Polizzi's lip, she gave up, according to toofab. Not that anyone can blame her.
