A Stone's Throw

After catching up with each other for a bit, the guys discuss The Glass House, a 2012 competition show on ABC in which contestants live in a transparent living enviroment, compete in challenges for safety, and have their fate in the game ultimately determined by the viewing public. The show was sued by CBS for its similarities to longtime summer hit Big Brother, and also suffered from disappointing ratings and was cancelled after its first and only season. The entire show run can be found on YouTube. They then talk about what they have been watching so far including Rise and Fall, last week's show My Big Fat Obnoxious Boss, the two recent American Gladiators documentaries on ESPN and Netflix, and Deep Fake Love. Next week we head back to the Korean variety genre with the show Society Game. Find us on your podcast platform of choice at https://linktr.ee/physicalchalpod.

The Con Is On

The crew reconvenes to talk about the 2004 hoax reality competition, My Big Fat Obnoxious Boss. In this show, 12 business savvy contestants are competing for a cash prize and entry into the inner circle of a billionaire CEO. The only catch is, the CEO is a paid actor and the competition is a sham (besides the cash prize, that's totally real). How far will the players go to work their way to the top? The show was on FOX and pulled from the air after only 5 episodes, but later aired in it's entirety on the Fox Reality Channel. All of the episodes can be found on YouTube. Eddie then picks a show for them to all watch next week. Follow us on Twitter at https://twitter.com/PhysicalChalPod and on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/physicalchallengepod/.

At the end of the series, who will be crowned the Taskmaster champion?" (TheTVDB). Joshua also discusses what he was up to while he was gone, and we discuss plans for next week.

Don't Touch That Dial

The guys got together to discuss the MTV game show Remote Control which was later adapted for a British audience. Both versions are discussed here. "And now, it's his basement, it's his rules, it's his game show. The quizmaster of 72 Whooping Cough Lane, KEN OBER! (MTV's) Remote Control was a pop culture/variety-typed game show set in host Ken Ober's basement. This was the first ever game show produced by MTV. Three contestants selected categories from a giant Zenith TV and answered questions." —TheTVDB They then whiparound all of the news and notes on what's happening in the world of reality competition shows including, but not limited to, The Challenge World Championship, the return of the Joe Schmo Show, The GOAT, House of Villains, the cast of the upcoming Traitors Australia season and many more.
