I’m not exactly proud to admit this, but I watched Bonzai on Fox tonight. It’s this really weird Japanese-themed interactive game show. They have a bunch of contests and encourage viewers to bet on the outcome. I wasn’t able to do the interactive part because I’m not high-tech enough to surf the web and watch TV, but it was still hilarious. They would do shopping cart jousting, old ladies in motorized-cart chicken (yes, chicken. So wrong!), and fun embarrassing things with celebrities. (One Question Interview Lady was the best — she asked Simon Calwell from American Idol one question and then was silent. The game was to guess how long before Simon walked away. Took him 77 seconds, and it was freakin’ hilarious.)

The show is very weird, but definitely will appeal to a fringe crowd.
