Incest is all the rage this TV season. (I think I’ve been waiting all my life to type that.) We’re all aware of The Scene in “Boardwalk Empire,” but family love has also recently appeared in episodes of “Game of Thrones,” “Bored to Death,” and even “Dexter.” And TV’s recent Edible Complex Extravaganza can’t be contained to just HBO and Showtime anymore; it’s also on network TV, according to one “Fear Factor” contestant.
Ex-bodybuilder Monica (oh boy) appeared on Monday’s “Fear Factor” premiere with her son, Matias, and she claims that the show’s editors “used a clip of her and her son hugging to make it look like they…touch each other too much,” according to TMZ in their typical just-the-facts tone. The article goes on to say:
Monica tells us, “Last night when the show aired, I was SHOCKED. I am appalled and disgusted at the comments of people on the show about Matias’ and my relationship and how it seems ‘inappropriate’ for a mother and son. Are you kidding me?” (TMZ)
She also gets really pissed at host Joe Rogan, because during the episode he said, “I hug my mom every time I see her…but then I let go.” Monica’s response: “Joe Rogan…shame on YOU. You are a father. How dare you talk about my son that way?” Rogan then started blabbering on and on about that if America had REALLY landed on the moon, there would be no more incest.
Frankly, I can’t believe it’s taken this long to mention “Fear Factor” and “incest” in the same sentence.

I watch Fear Factor for the explosions and eating weird shit, not to be disgusted and excited with this terror boner. Shame on you Joe Rogan.
Weird, I always though Joe Rogan was the product of multiple generations of incest.
*thought
She’s handling this all wrong. If someone is going to accuse you of incest, you murder them, or at least push them out of a window.
Man I thought that was the challenge, who can make out with a family member the longest
Where’s the “MAAAAAAKE OUT!” caption for that picture?
If my Mom was that hot, I’d be up to my nuts in her guts too. I am sure that’s what they refer to as the “circle of life”
I’m pretty sure that was one of the stunts in season two: Entering your mom.
Surprisingly all the contestants made it to the next stunt. Okay, not too surprisingly.
They obviously don’t have sex. He’s clearly gay.
@Brian: ditto. Also, I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: Joe Rogan is an asshole.
I blame HBO for making the Game of Thrones twincest so damn sexy.
I tell you, I won’t live in a town that robs men of the right to marry their cousins.
Joe Rogan is still involved with the professional hugging circuit is he not? You’d think after all the years of staring at man on man this wouldn’t give him pause.
It’s Angelina Jolie’s fault. We all saw the screen caps for the movie Alexander.
Nowt wrong with incest, just look at our Royal Family.
I tell you, I won’t live in a town that robs men of the right to marry their cousins.
You live in New York right? Perfectly legal there. California too. Alabama,not so much.
Go figure.
Maeby: “Hey would you look at that, we didn’t get swallowed up into hell”
*on the next Fear Factor…*
btw, when is Uproxx gonna let us +1 or give reputation points to comments, because Matt deserves a million for that “Lemon of Troy” reference.
Im gonna be honest with you, I tuned in the middle of the episode and I actually thought those two were dating.
That’s her SOOOOON?!! HOLY SHIT!! but yeah they do look more like a couple and let’s not forget Evil Dick and his hottie daughter Danielle or the freaky relationship between Dallas and his mom Toni on Amazing Race.
