Watch: Big Brother contestants are forced to face their phobias

The Australian edition of the competition had an interesting twist for contestants in viral clip. 

Snakes big brother

Housemates in this year’s edition of Big Brother knew they were in for a tough time but they surely didn’t expect this.

The contestants were pushed to their limits as they participated in a challenge to win food for the house.

After a week under lockup the rations had depleted rather quickly and to earn more food, each of the contestants had to face their fears.

They were each locked inside a small room with the thing that they fear most.

Some of the fears included knees, snakes and even a dog.

According to research a phobia can be learned due to the transmission of anxiety from a person in an individual’s childhood whether that’s a parent, guardian or sibling.

The top phobias we pass on to our children.

1.      Arachnophobia – fear of spiders

2.      Social Phobia – fear of social situations

3.      Acrophobia – fear of heights

4.      Cynophobia – fear of dogs

5.      Aerophobia – fear of flying
