Since I can't understand Japanese, most shows I see on TV over here are pretty boring. The only thing that ever seems to be on is the news, cooking shows, traditional cultural stuff or large panel talk shows. I doubt most of these shows would be any more interesting even if I could understand them. The show I'm watching right now however requires no knowledge of Japanese to appreciate. It took me over a year but finally I found something worth watching... late night girly shows! I don't know why I never noticed these great shows before tonight. I guess I always just assumed that they were only for those lucky enough to get more than 5 channels on their TV. Right now a bunch of bikini clad girls are duking it out in various competitions, all of witch seem to involve rolling around on the ground and tearing at clothing. There are two teams, one with orange covering their eyes and the other with purple. Whenever someone wins a fight, they then get the chance to throw a pie in the face of the loser. Really classy stuff. The girls seem to be uncharacteristically mean to one another too. Something I've never seen on Japanese TV where everyone always seems to be super happy, polite and friendly to each other. I hope this isn't the last time I find great shows like this on my TV. I'll definately tune in past midnight more often now.
