i mentioned i was watching a game show on japanese tv last night, but didnt manage to finish it because i had to go sleep :-( im gonna just go through what happened in the game show anf maybe my opinions so i can remember it and also so i can look it up after..
the participants have to go through 3 challenges to gain wins, but among the participants was a spy that would try to sabotage the team and prevent them from winning. each time the spy manages to sabotage them they get 100k yen, and similarly if they complete the challenges everyone but the spy gets 100k.
in the first challenge members took turns trying to describe an object or person using only english words, and the rest of the members have to try to guess the mystery thing. if everyone gets it correct the team gets 100k each round
it was insane lmao, you had someone miss the question ("what food is this") anf answer with snow, resulting in everyones suspicion directed at the poor guy lol there was also "big black, mouth fire, building" (godzilla) which was hilarious (im not doing the show justice telling it like this)
anywayd. second challenge theres a rotating table, members stand around the table and each try to stack cans. this one wasnt particularly difficult so the team won, but you get people accusing each other of a split second pause while the accused swear that they realised it would be dangerous so they hestiated. this is why i love who's the spy games, u cant trust anything and u become so paranoid its funny
last one is probably my favourite, two members get a kanji and have to cooperate to sweep some leaves into the formation of said kanji, and another two have to guess the kanji. after both members guess correctly, they swap roles and try to get as many points as possible i feel like in this one the sweeper role is the hardest to mess up, because its very obvious if you try to mess up the kanji leaves ヽ(ﾟ∀ﾟ；)
just before the reveal they have the members vote, and the two most voted/suspicious turned out to be yokoyama-san and kawashima-san. theyre the only two member's names i can remember because of the fact they were voted, and also because their names are kanji i can read lol thats pretty much it, i was really pushing it with my bedtime waiting for the reveal and waiting thru all the ads, but in the end i didnt even get to find out who .........
i dont remember which tv channel it was amd i have nooo idea how 2 find it. it aired around 10pm jst 02dec and i know on the top left corner it said something along the lines of 横山はスバイですか？(is yokoyama the spy) so maybe i could look that up. anyways thats it 4 my tv show yap session, it was a really fun watch and im glad i managed to catch it. they also mentioned a music program 630am today that featured mrs green apple and back number, but unfortunately there was no way for me to catch it ... im sad
i always try to catch a sports game (esp volleyball) on tv, but even though sometimes i cant so im glad game shows r a thing lol.
