* NothingIsScarier: Indeed, while its not horror related. Most of the fun of the show comes from the fact the contestants can't see and mostly have to rely on their other senses to figure out what they're feeling/tasting/smelling which let their imagination do the work. Alot of their reactions are quite hilarious, especially when they do guess correctly the object.

''Total Blackout'' is a game show/reality TV show aired on SyFy in 2012, based on the Danish show of the same name, hosted by Jaleel White (a.k.a. Urkel on ''FamilyMatters'').
As the name of the show suggests, the whole game is set in total darkness and has the players doing certain activities to earn points. Such as feeling around tanks with certain objects, eating food off the stomachs of people, making their way though a mini obstacle course, or smell odors through a glass plate.
The game would start off with five contestants (or if its a team episode, four pairs of two people). After a round, it would be reduced down to three then the final two before the one with the most points would be declared the winner. During the rounds, we get ConfessionCam commentary from contestants about how they would feel during a round, as per most reality TV staples now a days.

!!''Total Blackout'' contains the following tropes:
* BlatantLies: Jaleel often misrepresents a challenge's hazards to the contestants, the better to foster their paranoia. The "high platform with holes" contestants must traverse is actually, for example, an ordinary floor, and a game involving electrified limbo... has no bars ''at all''.
* ClusterBleepBomb: All the bleepin' time. All the funnier because it's unscripted.
* EatThat: One of the games, sometime eaten off plates, other times off the stomach of people.
* EliminatedFromTheRace: Contestants are eliminated by standing in front of trap doors and being told to jump on Jaleel's signal. The one with the least points falls through while the winner's door stays shut.
* ExplainExplainOhCrap: Sometimes contestants will guess about what something is accurately...then realize ''what'' they just touched/tasted/smelled and ''then'' FreakOut.
* FacialDialogue: More of a Facial Monologue: the extras who have to stand, sit, or lie there without speaking and be identified by groping contestants sometimes get ''really'' amusing Reaction Shots, especially when they're mistaken for mangy dogs or the like.
* FreakOut: Many contestants do this, especially if it living creature they're touching.
* GameShowHost: Jaleel of course
* GenreBlindness: Contestants sometimes speculate out loud that the creatures they're asked to identify by feel are genuinely dangerous, like tigers or bears, despite knowing it's only a show and the production would be shut down if anyone got mauled. Lampshaded by Jaleel, who snarks about it for the audience.
* HandInTheHole: Reaching into tanks or cages without knowing what's inside is a common challenge.
* NothingIsScarier: Indeed, while its not horror related.
