Talk:Fear factor

The article refers to an "early 2000s jobless recovery". Where is this? is there a particular country/region for which we have GDP and employment stats that satisfy this label? If so, then firstly the country / region should be named; it makes no sense to apply these labels discriminately (we might as well say "80% of people are Hindu" or "12% of people have HIV" without qualifiers). Secondly, does it really make any sense to argue that fear of unemployment increased productivity for years? And what exactly are the "medical" constraints on the duration of this productivity surge? Any suggestions & sources would be much appreciated... bobrayner (talk) 20:05, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

Name Change
I think the title of this article should be changed to be "Fear factor ([something in parentheses that specifies what the article is about])" rather than just "Fear factor". It doesn't seem like there should be two different articles with basically the same exact name (Fear Factor and Fear factor). Alphius (talk) 01:04, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Since no one ever responded to this suggestion, I have renamed "Fear Factor" as "Fear Factor (TV series)" and will replace this page with a redirect to that article, because this article has no sources and is little more than a definition, and because I am sure that most people who have visited it meant to go to the article for the TV series.
