Total Blackout.

The premise of the show was that they took people (usually individuals, but they had episodes for couples, family, ect) and put them in a room that was pitch dark. They had security guys with night vision goggles and the cameras could shoot in night vision, and the contestants were put through a series of tests.

Said tests could range from having to identify things they touched such as teddy bears and puffy hats to identifying smells or things they had to eat. Sounds easy but when you literally can't see the mind tends to play tricks, like one guy who mistook a coarse bristle hair brush for something alive and freaked out.

At the end of each round the contestants would jump onto trap doors and one would open up to swallow up the person who did the worst, or one of the people chosen at random in the event of a tie. Then it would come down to just two people and the tests would get even harder like having to crawl through a Plexiglas maze full of fake spider webbing and being told there were real spiders inside to mess with their heads (no real spiders were ever used, but giant fake ones were hiding in the corners!).

I only find this funny because I know the show was produced with the consent of those involved. They put themselves in the situation, no one forced them, so for me watching them freak out over nothing and getting all kinds of anxiety about things they know rationally can't hurt them but they're scared of anyway is absolutely hilarious and I don't feel bad about it.

You will probably find me shouting during the entire video shoot if I'm a contestor. But I think it must be fun
