Pinoy Fear Factor South America hosted by Ryan Agoncillo starts airing Nov. 10 on ABS-CBN and will run for 15 weeks. So far the Pinoy Fear Factor 12 Participantes as they are officially called had not been fully revealed with the exception of celebrities Phoemela Barranda and LJ Moreno. Sources say that Riza Santos is also a part of Pinoy Fear Factor.

In the auditions held nationwide, PFF hopefuls were asked to perform some small stunts and had to undergo physical and psychological examinations. Knowing how to swim and drive was also a strict requirement. There were also some contestants who failed to meet particular clauses in the contract hence had to back out, which further extended the selection process to almost two months.

The 12 participantes left at the end of August and stayed in Argentina for a month. The first winner of Pinoy Fear Factor: South America takes home P2 million in cash and a house and lot worth P2.5 million from Avida. EcoQuest intl could have been a sponsor of this event too.

Ryan Agoncillo video as the chosen one to be the Pinoy Fear Factor host. Actually, Ryan Agoncillo is back to looking cute too, after long sporting a long hair do. Ryan Agoncillo bested several actors in the ABS-CBN stable to be host of the much awaited Survivor Philippines rival, Pinoy Fear Factor, a Philippine franchise of the hit American show, Fear Factor.

Sarah Larson, looks like Asian sometimes or Hispanic, came into the spotlight when she became the girlfriend of George Clooney at the time when George Clooney and Sarah Larson figured in a motorcycle accident in New York. Sarah Larson is a former part-time model and cocktail waitress in Las Vegas’s Palms Casino Resort. Recently, Sarah Larson caused a mini scandal when pictures of her leaked to the net, see the Sarah Larson pictures here, where some sector finds it scandalous and inappropriate considering she is George Clooney’s girlfriend. Ah the pitfalls of fame. I guess she did these all when she was still not dating George Clooney.

Sarah Larson was a contestant on the TV game show Fear Factor, where she won an episode of season five, partnered with her then-boyfriend Dan Randolph. Fear Factor should cash in on Sarah Larson and release her Fear Factor episode again. Sarah Larson definitely looks Asian anyway in most angle or half-American, half Asian, is she by any mile Filipino?
