Leslie! Holy S#@T where the hell have you been?
Not sure why the yanks haven't replied, maybe the show hasn't been advertised as much in the states as it has been here.
But seriously, i mean let's look at the jackpot of this show compared to some of the others. There's only a 1 in 6 chance you'll win the $50,000 which would probably be spent on therapy fixing the nightmares you have afterwards, e.g. the rats.
Also, it's not like these contestants are gonna be famous from this show and have the chance to do commercials or movies.
Meanwhile, our buddy joe gets a front row seat of the action and gets to throw in the odd remark. Like when he said to the blonde chick who screamed at the rats, "they can't understand english"
The reality shows that make fun of their contestants are the best. That broad from the weakest link is great; she's margaret thatcher met chris rock.
