NBC's Fear Factor wasn't so fearsome in its fifth-season debut Monday. Meanwhile, Fox had no luck getting viewers to sample its new home makeover entry The Complex: Malibu. On the heels of 17 nights of Summer Olympics coverage that wrapped Sunday, NBC kick-started its new season Monday with the 8-9:30 p.m. season opener of Fear Factor, which drew 10.9 million viewers and a 4.5 rating/13 share in the adults 18-49 demographic, and the third-season bow of Last Comic Standing from 9:30-11 p.m., according to Nielsen Media Research. Fear Factor's premiere was down 26% in adults 18-49 compared with its fourth-season bow last year, when it opened three weeks later, on Sept. 22, with a 6.1/16 share in the key demo.
