Total Blackout is back on Syfy at 9p and tonight they are pairing moms and their grown kids. The teams of two will try different competitions in complete darkness hoping to be the ultimate winner. First they will have to guess the weight of different objects and they will get very intimate with them. Next they will have to guess what is in an aquarium and some of those items will be moving. But as terrifying as those challenges are, they ain’t nothing as compared to the last challenge. The remaining teams will wear a fishbowl on their heads as things are dropped down into them. They will have to guess what is crawling around their faces and yes there will be roaches.
When I see what those people go through, I can’t believe that show is still getting people to be on it.
At least with Exit at 9:30p, those contestants had no idea what hell they just signed up for. The first challenge has four teams standing on a piece of wood that is hovering over a bottomless pit. They will be asked to answer a question and the longer they take to answer it, the further the piece of wood goes back. The first team to fall to their doom is out. For the next challenge each team will be locked in a room trying to match up 6 different things. If they do not get them all right, a rush of freezing cold air is blasted on them. Once they get all three rounds correct, they will be given the way to get out of the room. The last team to make it free is freezed out. Now there are two teams, who are standing on a platform on top of some sand. They will be asked to answer a trivia question and for each one they get wrong, the platform drops down into the sand. The winner of the match is the one whose head is still above the sand. Finally the last standing team is brought into a room where they will have to answer even more questions as the roof is coming down on them. If they can manage not to get squashed, they will be $10,000 richer.
I am sorry, but that is enough money for me to go through what they went through. They deserve a lot more. Now even though there is no way in hell you could get me to do the show, that doesn’t mean I won’t be watching these people suffer every week for a measly $10,000!
