I'm being held hostage by a Japanese gameshow..........
I have been watching Unbeatable Banzuke for two days now. It is a Japanese Gameshow with radically crazy and almost impossible obstacles and they don't hold back either. I am thinking that the Japanese have not ruined their culture with Frivolous Lawsuits because this shit can kill people,lol! Everybody is a good sport and they just keep going until they can't any longer. They have had marathons on G4. That is a channel for Geeks who are Gamers and techi nuts. Amazingly enough some contestants actually make it. It's all about honor and if you win they engrave your name in the Banzuke and it is a great honor.
I also love Most Extreme Elimination Challenge. It is another show but they dub American slang into it and it is probably the funniest thing on TV.
Ninja Warrior is a serious competition and the winners, if they even have any, are National Hero's and become very famous. They mix the serious in with the ridiculous.
I LOVE JAPANESE GAMESHOWS. I want to host a Japanese Gameshow.

me too! I <3 all these you mention. and I didn't know there's a marathon going on! the rest of my Memorial Day weekend is shot. ;)
I think "Ultimate Banzuke" is somewhat like the 80s "Circus of the Stars" in the sense that you have all these B- and C-list actors and entertainers participating.
it is too cool.
Mariser I am not certain it's an official marathon but it has been on about 50 times in two days so far so we have left it on and had a great time watching it.
I love all the "celebrities" playing it because they get all "celebrity-like" and we don't know who most of them are. My friend Haydee used to call me Cantinflass and I idn't know he was a comedian to hispanic people.
