My newest must-see TV...
Me: only on the scifi channel
Chels: Oh man
They have the best stupid game shows
There's another called Estate of Panic
That basically drops people in rooms full of cash and traps (snakes, crabs, worms, floors that stick to them, spikes coming out of the wall, flooding, moving walls, snow, electric wires) and whoever gets the most cash after 3 of those wins
Me: hahaha. like literal snakes?
Chels: Yes.
Me: literal spikes?
Chels: Real snakes.
Me: etc?
Chels: The flooding room had gigantic anacondas swimming around
And the spikes I think were kinda flexible
Me: wtf! isnt that freaking dangerous?
surely they're well-fed anacondas
Chels: I'm sure
Oh there was one where they had to crawl around in a tarantula-filled crawlspace
Where spiders were in the boards above and would occasionally drop into people's hair
Me: oh my god
i dont mind spiders one bit, and that would freak me out a little
i cant imagine having even the slightest unease about spiders, and being in that situation
Chels: They were big too
That was a good episode though
Cuz one dropped in a girl's hair and she about died of anxiety and one of her competitors went over and got it out for her
And then he later helped a lady who got stuck in the floor goo
And ended up winning the whole thing
Got like $30k
Me: wowww
do most ppl win that much?
it's like... Fear Factor on crack
Chels: Well..
The first room has like..
5? people
Okay no
The first has 7
The first six to leave the room get out and have their money counted and added to the pot
7th has to stay in that room the rest of the game
One of those six, who has the least amount of $ gets kicked
So room 2 has five people
Same thing. First four get out, one's trapped, and three move on
After room three, two people get out and the person with the most money moves on
That person gets chained/harnassed/whatever in a room filled with 200 security boxes. Has to free himself in a certain amount of time (as judged by 10 balls that fall into a little thing) and leave or gets locked in there
Along with the things to free self is more money
So they can either collect more and get the entire pot, panic and only get half the pot, or get trapped and get nothing
Me: that sounds like the game show from hell
Chels: Its so funny
Because the guy that hosts is all actin' like its his house
And pretending he doesn't know what happens in the rooms
And the people are like exhausted and terrified and "omg are you kidding me?"
