Fear Factor Fantasy League

Each week, you will draft a lineup of Contestants you think can survive the scares, stunts, and psychological challenges given to them. Depending on the game type, that could mean avoiding elimination or racking up points for things like completing fear-based tasks, winning challenges, and pushing through terrifying twists. You can play across Confidence, Week to Week, and First Impression formats during the season for more ways to climb league Leaderboards.

Picks for all Fear Factor: House of Fear fantasy games lock when the new episode begins airing on the East Coast. Once picks are locked, your roster is set for the week, so make sure you have the right Contestants ready to face whatever is thrown at them.

You can switch up your roster for the Confidence and Week to Week formats before picks lock each week. Lineups reset for every episode, so you can adjust as fears intensify, alliances form, or players tap out. First Impression bracket locking time is different, with picks locking at a designated time and staying locked for the remainder of the season. Make sure you have push notifications on so you do not miss your chance to update your lineups.

Definitely. You can create a public or private league, customize it with a name and icon, choose your game type(s), and invite friends to join. Everyone in your league will use the same scoring system, and you will have your own league Leaderboard to see who is the true fearless champion. There is no cap on league sizes, and leagues automatically reactivate each season, so you will not need to re-invite members every year.

Yes. You can jump in anytime by downloading the Bracketology app, creating an account, and adding Fear Factor: House of Fear to your shows. You will be added to the sitewide Bracketology Official League automatically, and you can also join or create leagues at any point during the season.

Once a Contestant quits, is medically pulled, or is eliminated, they can no longer earn points. If you made picks for future weeks and there is still time before lineups lock again, swap them out using the pencil icon so you keep your roster competitive.

Yes. Season-long Fear Factor: House of Fear fantasy leagues are free to join and play. You can also enter optional daily Bracketology Pools for a chance at real money cash prizes.

Scores are updated within 24 hours after each new episode airs. You can check your lineup performance in the Picks tab, view your league Leaderboard, or open the full Scoring Recap in the mobile or web app.

If you miss the pick deadline, it might not be the end. Commissioners have the option to unlock picks for an episode or elimination to allow late or unsaved submissions. Commissioners can do this by clicking the dropdown arrow on their lineup and selecting Open Picks. Once picks are reopened and closed, updated scores will publish after the following episode. Not all Commissioners choose to allow late changes, so reach out to yours if you need help.
