Hipertensão is the Brazilian version of Fear Factor, which premiered April 14, 2002 on the Rede Globo television network.
[1][2] The season 1 format involved three men and three women, who had to complete three professional stunts to win R$50,000.
Eating stunts entailed ingesting vile animal parts, live bugs, or a blended concoction of multiple gross items; animal stunts entailed immersing one's head or entire body in animals considered to be disgusting or intimidating (such as rats, snakes, or worms).
In Stunt 2, the contestants had to separate with your hands as many belly white snakes, lying in a magazine with 10,000 worms in their legs and 5000 cockroaches in their heads.
In Stunt 3, underwater, the contestants would have to leave as soon as possible in a padlocked cage, then swim to a buoy.
