If you had a tough time keeping that shot of Cuervo down, you ain’t seen nothing yet. Imagine if it was a dram of Tabasco sauce or fish oil. Could ya handle that? You’d have to, especially if you wanna survive “Wheel of Fear Factor” — the weekly bar battle. Participants make like Pat Sajak, spinning a wheel and choosing letters in hopes of solving a frequently lurid word puzzle. If it stops on one of several “Fear Factor” spaces, they’ll have a choice of completing some sort of disgusting duty — like earning points for downing mayonnaise cupcakes — or they forfeit their turn. Those who complete the tasks and the puzzle win such prizes as kegs or cases of beer.

Will you step up to support New Times this year?
At New Times, we’re small and scrappy — and we make the most of every dollar from our supporters. Right now, we’re $17,250 away from reaching our December 31 goal of $30,000. If you’ve ever learned something new, stayed informed, or felt more connected because of New Times, now’s the time to give back.
