I Survived a Japanese Gameshow- June 24th (Tuesdays 9-10)[/quote]
I LOVE this idea... I hope it doesn't dissapoint...[/quote]
QFT. I have a feeling it's either going to be really good or really bad. Hope it's the former.
Wipeout or something similar was inevitable. Despite being a big fan of Ninja Warrior and the like, I'm on the fence right now, but I'll give it a look.

"Wipeout" is being produced by the same people who made "Fear Factor"- but they're not going for gross-out or scares this time, they're going for the slapstick of people getting eliminated on the courses....so I think this has a good shot.
"Japanese Gameshow" is either gonna hit or miss fast...we've been seemingly on a Japanese GS kick in the video section, so it could work, depending on if it's an homage or more of a parody....
"The Mole"'s new host doesn't worry me too much- this series has always been more about the game and the play-along factor, not the host.
"Wanna Bet?" is a wildcard to me- Ant and Dec are good hosts in the UK- I don't know if it'll translate over here however (and they should have picked "Pokerface" over this one IMO)...
Of course, of the other shows in the release, you just know the one that'll probably hit is the "High School Musical" reality series....they're giving it two eps a week the first few weeks, so ABC must be hoping so as well...
