I searched and could not find this topic so I hope that its not a duplicate.

This show airs on the Scyfy Channel and its hosted by Jaleel White. Contestants are let loose in a dark room and have to touch things and guess what they are or other challenges, but its all done in the dark. Contestants are eliminated if they come in last on each challenge. This show cracks me up! The people's reactions are the best.

As funny as it is to laugh at them, especially when they're psyched out with fake bugs or stuffed animals, or they have to smell someone's ass or armpit, I don't think I could EVER do this show. The mental stress would be too much for me. Tonight is the season finale and I'm a little sad.

Please tell me I'm not the only one who watches this.

I watched the first 2 episodes, but I found myself constantly hitting the mute button because of all the screaming. I didn't find it to be entertaining at all.

I watched this show for the first time today and thought it was HILARIOUS! I can't wait to watch the rest of the shows and hope that it returns for a second season.

Yeah, not sure how long this show will last, but some of these contestants are side-splittingly funny.

Love it, but I, too, wonder how they can do another season, when the secret's out that most of the danger isn't really in the room.

The same way they can keep making "Undercover Boss"?

I think the stunts where they make people believe they're suspended in air won't work anymore since they never actually do that, but I think the other stunts could work.

Speaking of suspending people in air, I recently saw an episode where they did teams of two and they had these people thinking that the beam they were walking on was raised, when it was actually on the floor and this poor woman was freaking out so much she fell. I must have rewound her falling 20 times because it was so funny! She was pissed when she realized it was all fake, but I was in tears from laughing so hard.

I tried to watch, but the over-the-top antics of the various stereotypes straight out of central casting was hard to stomach, but for somereason I couldn't take my eyes off the train wreck.

Season 2 has been airing now for 3 weeks. Still fun to watch and if I miss it then I can just watch it On Demand. ;)
I still say that those people are very brave to have those suits on. I wouldn't be caught dead in an outfit like that. Especially on national television.

I was scrolling through On Demand last night and found this show. It's not a show I'd make a point of watching but it killed some time for me. The screaming was too much for me too. I know it's easy for me to be brave from the comfort of our livingroom but some of the things they were screaming about seemed really silly.

Me either. They should probably get $5,000 just for wearing them.

This show cracks me up so much. I sort of accidentally watch it because the DVR changes to Syfy when Mr Glik tapes Face Off. But I can't not watch. The episode I caught today (rerun) with them carrying snakes and other things from one tank to another in the dark? EEEEEEK.

How is it okay to have a show where they chain up or box animals just so flabby famewhores willing to wear spandex can scream at them and slap them and step on them and hit them and probably one day they'll have an episode where some telemarketer from Duluth will eat a live baby chick before sticking his nose up a butt.
