About MXC
MXC, also known has, Most Extreme Elimination Challenge, is an American spin on a popular series in Japan called Takeshi's Castle where contestants compete their way through a series of physical challenges. The creators of MXC use the footage from Takeshi's Castle and put their own little spin on things by re-dubbing over the show in English and modifying dialogue and the structure of the show.
MXC usually has 2 different teams battling it out against each other though painfully difficult challenges. The main hosts of the show are Vic Romano and Kenny Blankenship who over see the ceremonies. The location reporter, Guy LeDouche , interviews the contestants and Captain Tenneal over sees the challenges.
The final portion of the show ends with Kenny Blankenship's Painful Eliminations of the Day. This barrage of clips display Kenny's top 10 horrific contestant accidents on the show. The most painful elimination of the day usually illustrates a contestant narrowly escaping death or a trip to the hospital.
Each show ends with the crew sharing an unified cheer, "Don't Get Eliminated!"
Takeshi's Castle
This popular game show created in Japan during the early 90's, had 100 contestants lead by General Lee to storm the castle of Count Takeshi. To enter the castle, contestants must complete up to 9 different challenges. Beat Takeshi, the main host of
the show and a popular Japanese comedian, is the prince of the castle trying to defend its walls using physically difficult challenges.
The final challenge happens when around 5 contestants are left. Each contestant enters a motorized cart, driving around while shooting either a laser or water at targets. Takeshi has his own cart which is a large tank. If Takeshi's tank gets hit, then the castle is stormed. If one of the contestants successfully storms the castle, they win a cash prize. From what I've heard, the amount is 1 million yen which is around $9,500 USD.
