Total Blackout is a game/reality show combo aired on Syfy in 2012, based on the Danish show of the same name, hosted by Jaleel White.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })As the name of the show suggests, the whole game is set in total darkness and has the players doing certain activities to earn points. Such as feeling around tanks with certain objects, eating food off the stomachs of people, making their way though a mini obstacle course, or smell odors through a glass plate.The game would start off with four contestants (or if it's a team episode, four pairs of two people). After a round, it would be reduced down to three, then the final two, before the one with the most points would be declared the winner and receive $5,000. During the rounds, we get Confession Cam commentary from contestants about how they would feel during a round, as per most reality TV staples nowadays.

Eliminated from the Race: Contestants are eliminated by standing in front of trap doors and being told to jump on Jaleel's signal. The one with the least points falls through while the winner's door stays shut.

Blatant Lies: Jaleel often misrepresents a challenge's hazards to the contestants, the better to foster their paranoia. The "high platform with holes" contestants must traverse is actually, for example, an ordinary floor, and a game involving electrified limbo... has no bars at all.

Cluster Bleep-Bomb: All the bleepin' time. All the funnier because it's unscripted.

Eat That: One of the games, sometime eaten off plates, other times off the stomach of people.

Exact Words: Assuming Jaleel doesn't lie outright about the challenge threats, he'll often leave out important information, e.g. that the two live tarantulas in a room full of fake spiders are locked safely inside glass boxes.
