Are any of you guys watching this show? I've been watching it from the start, and I think it's pretty funny.

I think these people need aids.

It's like survivor, except the concept of americans going through what others go through and complain is much more blatantly obvious.

I ****ing hate it. It's just a stupid american attempt at making people feel Japanese.

Watch Unbeatable Banzuke. It's infinity times better, plus it's actually a japanese show.

That's because Americans are born complainers. Hell, gas still isn't below $4, what does that tell you?

I caught the last 2 episode or so, heavily reminded me of MXC, game-play wise. Otherwise, it was a rather interesting reality hybrid.

Plus, a shot at 250K is a bit hard to pass on. Hell, I wouldn't mind doing it. :Happy:

I agree. That show is hilarious, but it also makes you say "how does that guy walk on his hands across a conveyor belt?" Much better than the lame US knockoff - it has no soul and no real entertainment, only another half-assed primetime block.

That's because MXC is a dubbed version of an authentic Japanese show, but they change the dialogue to try and make it funny.

MXC is another example of America screwing up something Japanese.

This show really should've had more challenges like MXC.


All the challenges were lame as shit.

The dubbing is actually better than the dubbing for almost anything else that America has ruined from Japan.
And if you notice all the obvious fake names they give the contestants, you would swear half of them are Indian, or some other insane shit. Think about that for a second, what the hell kinda name is Babaganoosh then?
