Re: I Survived A Japanese Gameshow!

I watched 5 minutes of it and turned it off. I guess i'll watch the west coast feed if there are more favorable comments on it.

The "game" right now is stupid. I guess it's because it's females and we all know they can't do anything worthwhile physically. Well that is on a channel where minors can be exposed to it.

What channel is it on? I've never heard of this show.

It was on one of the big networks...

Basically it's a reality show...with eliminations

They are judged on their performances in Japanese game shows and then their is a "duel" to eliminate someone.

It's the basic formula the networks are capitalizing off.

Is this the American MXC? Haven't seen it, but I think I saw a preview for it the other day. If so, I don't think I'll be wasting my time with it.

Re: I Survived A Japanese Gameshow!

Re: I Survived A Japanese Gameshow!

Whatever happened to game shows for a simple prize?

Now they're all for a lump sum of money after eliminations.

Re: I Survived A Japanese Gameshow!

watched a few minutes of it and thought it was as corny as the new American Gladiators on NBC.

couldn't have been worse IMO. Not funny at all. Obviously edited like crazy to include so much pointless and "forced" interview soundbites. The "contestants" seemed more like bad actors than normal people. Just terrible.

Re: I Survived A Japanese Gameshow!

I agree, this show is terrible and I doubt its going to stick around for long once people see it and realize its that bad. I was all for it when I saw the previews but apparently I went in with the stupid concept that it was going to be a weekly gameshow based off of Japanese game shows but in the end its nothing more then a glorified reality program with a sprinkle of game shows thrown in in hopes of pulling in an additional crowd.

Re: I Survived A Japanese Gameshow!

I would rather have it be a regular Japanese-style game show but I definitely liked this as well. Man, does Japan look awesome or what?! This show looked absolutely stunning in HD, too.

I will definitely watch this and Wipeout next week.

Well it is going to stick around to this season is over, it is a weekly reality gameshow.
I thought is was funny as hell, it just depends if you like Japanese humor or not.

Wow, that was one of the most sexist remarks I've ever read.

Just because its a reality gameshow doesnt necessarily mean its going to stick around because of it, wasnt there some reality show looking for a country singer that lasted less then 10 episodes? The show does have the advantage that expectations are probably rather low and there is nothing else on television right now to squash it.
