Season 1 Episodes

Episode 1. I Survived a Japanese Game Show (Air Date: NA)

An elimination contest follows 10 Americans as they compete in a zany Japanese game show. In the opener, contestants must eat food from a plate perched on the head of a teammate running in place on a treadmill, and "launch" themselves into a giant replica of an auto windshield while dressed in bug costumes. Tony Sano is the series host; Rome Kanda hosts the game show.

Episode 2. I Survived a Japanese Game Show (Air Date: NA)

Three teammates control the movements of a fourth ("the human claw") in efforts to place stuffed animals in a chute; contestants must place packages in mail chutes while being buffeted by wind from a powerful fan and objects thrown at them by opponents.

Episode 3. I Survived a Japanese Game Show (Air Date: NA)

Contestants ride tricycles on a conveyor belt above a pool filled with icy water, with the belt's speed being controlled by their stationary-bike-riding teammates (the faster they peddle, the slower the conveyor belt goes); Velcro-clad contestants on a trampoline throw themselves at body-pattern outlines in an effort to match their body parts to the outlines.

Episode 4. I Survived a Japanese Game Show (Air Date: NA)

Contestants dressed as babies are spun around to make them dizzy, then must pour milk into a giant baby bottle after maneuvering through an obstacle course while carrying the milk. They're also oiled and covered with feathers and must pop huge balloon "eggs" filled with a yolklike substance using only their hindquarters.

Episode 5. I Survived a Japanese Game Show (Air Date: NA)

Contestants toss projectiles at a Velcro-clad teammate suspended by a wire while opponents pull the Velcro warrior from side to side, trying to keep the objects from sticking; contestants swing on ropes from a platform into a line of seven doors one at a time, trying to find the three solid doors in the fastest time.

Episode 6. I Survived a Japanese Game Show (Air Date: NA)

Two teammates spin in chairs at opposite ends of the playing field, then must cross one another to collect either a lock or ring with three keys. Then they meet back in the middle on two smaller spinning disks to open the lock. In the other game, the contestants change three times into a unique Japanese costume. The contestant with the fastest cumulative time wins. Going into this round, five contestants remain.

Episode 7. I Survived a Japanese Game Show (Air Date: NA)

In the Season 1 finale, the winner emerges from among the four remaining contestants. In one of three challenges, they hit the streets of Tokyo and must persuade strangers to do such things as draw mustaches on their faces. The survivors must then jump into a giant water-filled bowl dressed in sponge suits and retain as much water as possible while negotiating an obstacle course. Then there's yet another obstacle course, this one combining challenges from previous contests on the series.
