Anyone else hooked on this show? It's a Japanese gameshow that airs on the G4 network. The basic idea is for contestants to beat an incredibly hard obstacle course and be written into the "Hall of Champions". Each obstacle course can be beaten with some kind of unique skill. For instance, I watched one show where people had to conquer an obstacle course using walking stilts. Others have included unicycles, bikes and skateboards. There are also challenges that involve walking over a number of stryofoam platforms with the goal of not having them topple on you like dominos.

It all sounds weird, but it makes perfect sense once you watch the show. And it's incredibly addictive.

Or Ninja Warrior

Somehow I get the feeling that this show might be 10-plus years old, though..... even though it just premiered this year in America......

One of the contestants in the "Quick Muscle", which was a speed push up contest, is a regular on the Ninja Warrior program..... Katsumi Yamada...... In the Banzuke episode, he was described as being in his 30s (I forget what age), but in the most recent Ninja Warrior he was at 42.........

Unbeatable Banzuke

Sounds like a new sexual position.
