Sexy Beasts (2021)
This madness is really fun! The show is supposed to make a woman and a man, who are desperate for a partner, fall in love. But the curious thing is that the candidates show up to the appointment made up as beasts or abnormal beings! The goal is for the couple to be struck by Cupid thanks to his feelings and not so much because of his physical attractiveness. In the end, when both of them reveal their faces, it turns out that the beasts… are really beautiful!
Vanilla Ice Goes Amish (2013)
This reality show stars the famous rapper, who visits a Amish settlement in Ohio to learn the lost art of crafts. During the time Vanilla Ice is staying with a local family, she bonds with the young Amish residents to learn their traditions, practices, and culture. The series was so boring that it barely lasted two seasons.
Susunu! Denpa Shōnen (1998-1999)
This reality show seemed more like a story of terror. On it was a segment called “Prize Life” in which a young man named Nasubi was forced to live naked in an apartment for a year. His food consisted only of raffle prizes.
There was an attempt to take the show outside of Japan, its home country, but the conditions the stars were subjected to were so harsh that some compared it to torture. No wonder it only lasted two years.
