      In Lithuanian one (they called it the Aquarium, but the idea was the same) two people fucked under the sheets and they broadcasted that on TV, causing massive uproar because apparently the audience wasn’t really ready for that.

        If Lithuania want to keep their position as the heirs to Rome then they need to get freaky how the romans did.

          TIL about Lithuania just straight up lying about their claim as heirs to Rome, and ya know what?

          I respect it. It’s honestly the most Roman thing possible, just fucking lying to fuck with people.

            Honestly, are you even a European nation of you don’t claim to be the heir of the Roman Empire?

            To be honest it was probably an attempt to appear as a legitimate European country instead of a gang of savages that the Teutons were trying to paint them as.

        In Australia there was a huge uproar during the early seasons because a guy held a woman down while another guy slapped her face with his dick on the livestream they were running. Everyone in Australia learnt the term “turkey slap” that year whether they liked it or not.

      Yeah the format was invented by two Dutch guys. Made them very rich when they licensed the format world wide. And years later one of them created The Voice.

      Also this guy, John de Mol, made Fear Factor. So you can probably blame him for keeping Joe Rogan relevant when he was a washed up actor/comedian

      It went on for 13 seasons until 2013 and i just found out that season 14 has been running since March 2024, gasp!

      In between there have been things like Promi Big Brother, the celebrity version.
