ABC's I Survived A Japanese Game Show is classic TV entertainment. Watch people perform some unusual and outlandish physical team challenges (where the chances of anyone breaking their necks is pretty miniscule) and laugh at/along with them as they do them.
The challenges will become more difficult as fewer contestants remain. The game started out with 10 Americans and is now down to 6. One person is eliminated every week. The prize is $250K.
Last week's challenge (15 July) had the contestants suited up in baby outfits (diaper shorts, bib, bonnet, large pacifier) as they went through an obstacle course in an attempt to put in as much milk as possible into a bottle. But first, they're spun around in a carousel to get them nice and dizzy.
You can see them in action here.

The comments by Japanese host, Rome Kanda, are pretty funny too. He's a samurai master, an actor and a stand-up comic. "Bad baby!"
The American host, Tony Sano, is also an actor and hails from Oakland, up the road. Don't know about that accessory growing under his lip. I kinda like sideburns on men.
Some serious, silly competition. I'm hooked.#
