There’s a new (reasonably) new show called “Minute to Win It.” The premise was so delightful, so “I want to do that” that I of course set up a TiVo Season Pass for it.
Basically, contestants have 60 seconds to complete really stupid, yet slightly challenging tasks. And, unlike a lot of shows in this vein, there’s no threat of violence, there’s no crazy embarrassment, there’s no nonsense. Simply: can you empty two tissue boxes, one hand per box in 60 seconds. Or, can you flick a box of raisins from underneath a bottle and keep the bottle standing. Or, can you kick a shoe across the rink onto a table and have it stay there.
Genius. Stupid human tricks. Best show ever. Until you watch it. (more…)
