Most extreme game show

The world's most extreme game show is the Japan's  Za Gaman (Endurance), created in 1984 as a prime time series on the Fuji Network. Contestants are forced to endure different types of mental and physical torture, such as standing on their heads with hot coals on their feet, or hanging between swinging cactii above a tank full of snakes. The winners are those who can endure pain the longest.   In one episode, the contestants were forced to drink beer and then made to stand out in the snow - hopping up and down, trying to stop the impulse of running to the toilets to relieve their bladders.
