It's like Fear Factor, only they're specifically targeting what you fear the most, and you don't get any money. Panic Attack is a reality pilot commissioned by FOX that has people facing their greatest fears, with the help of a pair of therapists, motivational speakers Nik and Eva Speakman. To make matters worse, they look like they'd be really excitable and annoying.
The series will spotlight one phobia a week, and bring in five people who suffer from it. So one episode would put them all on the roof of a skyscraper so the Speakman's can dangle screaming people over the edges, while another might stick all five in a coffin while the Speakman's lower them into the ground and start throwing dirt on top of them.
Actually, I doubt they're quite that aggressive in their approach. In fact, that would probably only make things worse. Good thing I'm not a therapist.
The problem I'm having with this is if it would get a little boring. Maybe if they tackled different fears within each episode it might help diversify the content a bit. The other problem I have is that this sounds like something that would fit better on A&E or TLC. Maybe if they gave a prize to whomever could withstand their fear the most and made a game show out of it.
