… of having watched “The Real Gilligan’s Island”<\/p>\n
No… Now… Now we have … “Distraction” on Comedy Central<\/p>\n
Comedy central has managed to find a show that mixes all the best (and worst) of<\/p>\n
Weakest Link
\nDon’t Forget Your Toothbrush
\nFear Factor
\nand
\nSo, Graham Norton.<\/p>\n
This is a quiz show… I think
\nOr not. It’s a contestant elimination show.. that much I can tell.<\/p>\n
Hosted by a Brit with a really rapier wit the show pits the contestants against…well
\nDistractions.<\/p>\n
Round 1. A battery of inane questions while the contestants attach as many clothespins as they can to their faces.<\/p>\n
Round 2. A simple foot race, Leapfrog, Sack Race, and Wheelbarrow. However, the contestants have to do this with a partner who is a nudist. (And not the best and most exciting examples)<\/p>\n
Round 3… You know.. the phrase “Toilet Humour” is just not going to be sufficient here. So I’ll blithely gloss over the one.<\/p>\n
3 Contestants down 1 left. I guess there’s a bonus round. <\/p>\n
Yeah… the bonus round.<\/p>\n
You see you’ve already won 5 prizes. A vespa motor cycle, an ibook, DVD player, a “not-a-segway”, and oh.. yes… a 17# turkey.<\/p>\n
Of course, the prizes are behind bullet proof glass.<\/p>\n
Why? Well, five more questions. Each time you get a question wrong, you get to select from one of five plunger detonators wired randomly to each of the prizes.<\/p>\n
That’s right. You blow up one of your prizes. Let me tell you. Blowing up a 17# turkey can only be described as Glorious.<\/p>\n
And that’s the show. In the words of the host, “Jimmy Car”<\/p>\n
If you don’t think the show went far enough, No worries. They just sold the format to Iraq where it will be replacing the justice system there.<\/p>\n
*shakes head*
\nWhen does season 2 of Real Gilligan’s Island return? I’m ready for anything now!<\/p>\n
