And yes, TMZ, though very ick, does usually have their stuff straight.

There are usually both female and male contestants on that show. Maybe none of the other contestants went through with it? I didn't even know they were still making this show. They've had contestants ingest all manner of foul substances. I thought it was a regular challenge on the show, drinking or eating some disgusting thing or another. I guess now they've finally crossed a line.

neither semen nor urine are normally toxic and there's no reason, other than personal displeasure, to not ingest them.

There is, of course, no reason TO ingest them, even for 50 grand.

BTW, a little goggling will turn up quite a few urine and semen based recipes. Someone even seems to have a "Cooking with My Own Urine" cookbook.

that this is true - many amazingly vile substances were ingested on that show.

I partly liked FF for the physical stunts, which were always pretty fun/scary/exciting looking - I wanted to try a lot of them myself. But the gross-out stunts were just nasty.

As I recall, male and female contestants always did the same things, but the 'hot girl' factor was huge: female contestants were generally chosen for appearance, and there was nearly always a water challenge that required bathing suits (which, often enough, were not selected for functionality)...
