My apologies, but I was channel surfing again.
So there's this trend which the Japanese started. Their game shows are really, really ruthless, embarrassing and stupid. So much so that some people are actually tickled by it. To me, the hilarious part is the availability of contestants.
Meanwhile, in the above show, created by the Americans, the contestants are Americans who audition and are flown to Tokyo to participate in the game show, which is specially set up for this particular show. Like all reality game shows the process of elimination determines the ultimate winner. Prize money, a quarter of a million dollars. The group is divided into two, they first play against each other, the winning group gets a treat and the losing group has to do a forfeit before sending a couple of their weakest 'links' for a final challenge and the loser gets eliminated. Crazy stunts. I can't see this going into more than 2 seasons.
