Monrovia (AP)
Hot on the heels of the tremendous ratings, and political controversy of the African version of reality TV show Big Brother, Fox today announced it's latest round in the reality based TV show battle.

Fear Factor:Liberia, will feature North American contestants engaging in day to day life in the war torn city of Monrovia, currently divided between government and rebel troops.

The first episode's competitions will include dodging mortar fire raining from the dark sky, drinking possibly cholera tainted rainwater, and stealing rice rations from elderly neighbors.

Contestants will be competing for an eventual $50,000 prize, which Fox expects to award posthumously to the winner's family.

The first episode is expected to air as soon as President Charles Taylor is brought to justice for war crimes in Sierra Leone. The public is told to expect delays.
