Game Show Physical Challenge	comment	Reality and Game Shows often feature tests of physical abilities. In some shows, it's simply a part of the larger competition, while others are centered around them entirely. Be it a short sprint, a grueling feat of endurance, a dexterity-driven endeavor, or anything in between, anything asking contestants to exert themselves is fair game. Expect physical challenges to be a major selling point for shows that include them, as their action shots tend to make great footage for advertisements. Also expect said challenges to take a large portion of the show's budget, especially if they require a lot of set pieces. As with Sports, people like watching other people in action. However, the appeal of the two genres is vastly different. At the highest level, sports are played by paid professionals who dedicate their lives to the game. Meanwhile, though a dedicated fan may spend quite some time preparing for a gameshow, these superfans are exceptional and doing so on their own time, for a chance to play once. For the same reason, game show challenges are, in some ways, harder to prepare for, as they are more likely to contain gimmicks, rotate out, use equipment that can't be obtained easily, or otherwise be unpredictable. And as another given for the genre, sports are typically aired live, whereas game shows are either edited for length, or otherwise use shorter challenges to fit a time slot. For all the above reasons, a game show challenge often has appeal in people failing in the competition, while said fumbles are a lot more frustrating to the average sports fan. A Sadistic Game Show may amp up this element and make it legitimately dangerous or even impossible, such as asking the contestant to run around the world in a single day. Similarly, Deadly Game includes game shows and competitions that are physically exerting and/or involve competitors killing one another.

Game Show Physical Challenge / int_2d274a9a	comment	Beat the Clock: A game show that had contestants attempt some wacky stunt, and accomplish a goal within two minutes or less. The challenges weren't especially athletic, as women participated in the games since couples were usually the contestants. One such stunt had the husband ride a child's tricycle around a loop, while the wife tries to drop rubber balls from a stepladder into a clear tube attached to the husband's helmet.

While the most common challenges take the form of an obstacle course with a puzzle, or a test of physical endurance, other formats may be present, such as head-to-head combat and slingshot golf. Perhaps the tamest was a self-moderated game of bocce ball, while the other extreme includes an obstacle course in the blistering heat, requiring one player to be evacuated for heat stroke while two others needed medical themselves.

All the team challenges involve cooking somehow, but some of them start with a physical challenge unrelated to cooking. The results of the physical challenge determine aspects of the cooking part of the challenge (for example, the ingredients each team must use, or how much time each team has to cook their dishes).
