A game show where upwards of 100 contestants (give or take) try to get through various wet, dirty, and wild obstacles and games for a chance to win the grand prize of 1 million yen (Approx. $10,000) by defeating Takeshi and his crew.

"Takeshi's Castle" is a surreal gameshow in which 100 contestants join General Tani's army and go through a series of bizarre and hilarious tests, being gradually whittled down, until the finalists take to their tanks in an attempt to overthrow Count Takeshi's castle.—Toni Rodriguez <[email protected]>
