Pinoy Fear Factor - Terms

Terms

Since the show takes place in a Spanish-speaking country, many terms and stunt names are in Spanish, an official language of the Philippines from the 19th to the late 20th centuries. It is noted, however, that some Spanish titles that appear on the show are either grammatically incorrect (Rondas Sin de Eliminación instead of Rondas sin Eliminaciónes), wrongly used (the article una used to mean "first" rather than primera), or even misspelled (tersera instead of tercera).

  • El Campo Miedo (Camp Fear): the lodge serving as the residence for the contestants.
  • Participantes (participants): used to refer to the contestants of the show.
  • Rondas de Eliminación (Elimination Rounds): they are the elimination rounds where they compete to stay longer in the competition. The performances of the contestants in the first stunt will determine who will compete in the succeeding stunts. The next two elimination stunts will pit the worst performers against each other to prevent themselves from further elimination. The worst performer in the third stunt is sent back to the Philippines.
  • Rondas Sin de Eliminación (Non-Elimination Rounds): rounds of stunts in which the best performers would compete for a prize which may be different from the grand prize. Like the elimination rounds, there are also three stunts. The best performer in the third stunt wins a specific prize mentioned by the host, which may be different from the grand prize.

Famous quotes containing the word terms:

    Light is meaningful only in relation to darkness, and truth presupposes error. It is these mingled opposites which people our life, which make it pungent, intoxicating. We only exist in terms of this conflict, in the zone where black and white clash.
    Louis Aragon (1897–1982)

    The great pagan world of which Egypt and Greece were the last living terms ... once had a vast and perhaps perfect science of its own, a science in terms of life. In our era this science crumbled into magic and charlatanry. But even wisdom crumbles.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    Suppose you go to war, you cannot fight always; and when, after much loss on both sides, and no gain on either, you cease fighting, the identical old questions, as to terms of intercourse, are again upon you.
    Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
