"MXC" (formerly known as "Most Extreme Elimination Challenge") is the ultimate in reality sports, where two teams of contestants are both physically and mentally challenged and eliminated through crazy and challenging games.

To add to the fun, there's the hilarious commentary of Kenny Blankenship and Vic Romano, along with field reporter Guy LeDouche (and his many family members) and field marshall/referee Captain Tenneal.

This program originally comes from a Japanese reality series called "Takeshi's Castle" that has been dubbed into English with comedic results that has nothing to do with the original format of the original program.

In the UK this is called Takeshi's Castle - and hilariously voiced over by one of our best comedians Craig Charles.

It's a crazy show - but best of all is when they do international versions with US/UK contestants, and you realise we in the West just cannot get into the spirit of it.

It seems the Japanese way is to try hard, but winning doesn't matter as long as you give it your all - hence the way contestants who fail will throw themselves into a pool of mud to regain their honour. Mmm... hot Japanese chicks rolling in the mud ... ;)
