My first foray into the new television season has landed me on "Hole in the Wall" - Fox's ripoff of a popular Japanese game show. Simply put, the object is to contort your body to fit through a silhouette cutout as it slides toward you, otherwise you end up in the drink.
The first two teams, all men fitted in lovely silver jumpsuits that draw direct attention to their measuring sticks, are comprised of either bodybuilders or beer guzzlers. One of whom listed their biggest thrill in life as being kicked out of a Kevin Federline concert.
Best of America's best, right?
None of the men are over 5'9", which is fine. But it seems Fox simply borrowed the sets from Japan - none of the cutouts are even close to big enough to fit these guys. And the host's cry of "It's time to face ... the hole..." will certainly not go down in history of "is that your final answer" and "are you smarter than a fifth grader".
I think I'm about to scoop my brain out with a rusty shovel. The pain would definitely be less. New season - strike one!
