Reality shows / game shows with TUG games (M and F)

[Achmar]

Hi everyone,

I recently stumbled across a Columbian reality gameshow with some really nice games with tied up players (M and F). There are more than 5000 videos on their Youtube channel („El desafio“) and the show seems to be running since 20 years (which makes it quite astonishing that I never saw it before).

I suppose, I very likely haven‘t found all the TUG videos, but I‘d like to share the ones I found.


For example, there is a kind of modified soccer game, in which all active players and even all waiting players on the bench have their hands tied behind their backs:

Then there are obstacle courses which need to be solved handcuffed behind back.



I only have one link, but I remember seeing an even extremer obstacle course in one of the older videos. Unfortunately, I didn‘t save the link and I couldn‘t find it anymore.

As far as I understand, there are „punishments“ for loosing teams. In these two videos, a team apparently has to spend the night in stocks:






And in these two, the team is handcuffed together:

Wow, that's one of the most crazy-in-a-good-way things I've ever seen. Thank you for sharing.

(For my fellow American's: the videos in Achmar's post can't be watched from the USA, but if you have VPN which offers a server connection in Columbia, you can watch it that way.)

Some clips of shows from China:

I agree . Thank you for your feedback, I'm glad you like it.

And thanks for sharing these Chinese videos. They're classics, but still nice .

It seems at least some seasons are available from commercial streaming providers, maybe that's another option for watching from the USA.

Speaking of commercial streaming providers...

There is a Netflix gameshow called "Flinch". For a description, look here:

In many of the games, the participants are restrained in some way (leather straps, zip-ties etc.).

I can't share these videos, as they are behind a paywall.


But I just found out, there is also a Russian version of this show, which is available on YouTube (I hope, without local restrictions).

You can find a playlist here:

I would say series 2 of UK and US version of the Traitors. In episode 1, the contestants are all tied to poles and have to work themselves free and then do an activity in the water. Some of them are quicker than others, and most need help for their freedom.

Plus, the show really is fantastic. I'd highly recommend it.

Thanks for the tip! Unfortunately I couldn't find a way to watch it. Do you know a possibility/streaming service?
