Seriously?

There is a reality game show called "Hole in the wall"? That's just crazy. Basically these cutouts of people shapes come at you and you have to make it through the hole or get knocked over into the water. I know it's based on a Japanese game show but you know... Americans... we're just a tad bigger than the Japanese. Game 1 had two male teams but one team had much bigger men than the others. They seemed to make the cutouts larger at least but the end hole pattern was one big rectangle for one of the big men so that seemed unfair.

Then I watched the second game with the all women teams and the cutouts were smaller than the big women on the team! There was no way their bodies could fit through those holes. That seemed completely unfair. This game show is sexist - I'm sure it didn't make the women feel good to face these cutouts that they were too big for. Oh wait. Maybe the cutout isn't too small for her - Just watched a replay - it was probably just the angle of the camera.

Don't worry. It'll be off the air in 6 weeks. It's a snoozefest...

It's good for a laugh the first time you watch it but the people always choose non-optimal strategies. The obvious strategy is to find the biggest hole and have all 3 line up to go through it. NO one ever does that and they end up getting clobbered on the sides. I guess it's funnier that way.

I guess the we ran out of ideas and now we're doing Japanese game shows.
