Come for the Japanese game show wackiness, fast forward past the standard Reality Show Wangst.

ABC reality show that pitched two teams of American contestants against each other in dwindling numbers on a simulated game show called Hai! Majide. In the first season the teams were called the Yellow Penguins and Green Monkeys, the second season the Green Tigers and the Red Robots. Then it wasn't renewed.
