Maybe you thought reality TV hit the lowest of the low when "Fear Factor" contestants devoured cockroaches, or when gold diggers paraded their wares in hopes of marrying a millionaire, or when Tila Tequila got a second shot at "love" with 10 guys and 10 girls.

All right, I guess there are limits to my reality TV viewing...
Great show! That and "Ninja Warrior". Only two reasons to ever watch "G4TV".

When is “Ow, My Balls!” on?
That’s why they lost the war!
Brian Griffin? Is that you?
Bread and Circuses. We are in the last days of the Roman, err sorry, I mean the American Empire.
“Wipeout” is supposed to premier tonight on ABC.

Dangit!
Commented before reading the article.
Looks like an OK ripoff of Ninja Warrior, but more messy than mean.
Americans are more into humiliation than pain.
It's on now, it's called America's Funniest Home Videos, Father pitches baseball to young son segment.
