The latest craze for TV execs are the importing of Japanese games shows. Over the summer, we had Wipeout and I survived a Japanese Game show. Now with Hole in the Wall will appear on Fox.

During each episode, two teams of three compete against each other in multiple rounds of play, facing various barrier walls with weird and wacky cut-out shapes speeding toward them. Each team must contort their bodies either individually or in unison to fit through the wall or be swept away into a pool below. As players struggle to strike a pose, points – and dignity – can be easily lost with a simple miscalculation. As the rounds progress and the pace heats up, mind over matter, quick thinking, coordination, agility and clever teamwork play a crucial role as each team strives to maneuver through walls literally closing in on them. The winning team will win $25,000 and the chance to compete against the dreaded “Blind Wall” for an additional $100,000.

Let us know what you think of this Japanese game show craze.
