MAJIDEEE!

Majide: Japanese vernacular for "seriously!?", "for real?"
I love I Survived A Japanese Game Show. It's hilarious, fun to watch, Rome Kanda has such charisma and it is a rich cultural learning experience.It is such a breath of fresh air from other reality shows, where the only concerns seem to be participant drama.
Today's reality TV wasteland seems to be only occupied by Lauren Conrad, Speidi and visions of "The Real World." But in all this junk, there is I Survived A Japanese Game Show.
Its premise in itself is an eye opening experience. Seeing an actual Japanese game show format is already educational enough and is sure to broaden many viewers' horizons. But the experience doesn't stop there: the rewards the winning team get all involve something special to Japanese culture (Japanese onsen with special fish pedicure, a fish market tour, a Shinto shrine visit and a soba noodle making lesson, just to name a few). Even the losers get treated to Japanese culture (rice farming, mochi making, capsule hotel stay and a position at a pachinko parlor, to name a few), even if the results aren't as luxurious.
This is something that we need, a program that shows us a world beyond our bubble, something that is fun yet educational at the same time. We don't need any more Speidi drama because that just seals us more into our bubbles. To open up, we need to see someone survive a Japanese game show.
MAJIDEEEEEE!
