The penalty for losing was a lot less harsh, a loss of face rather than a loss of life. And with guests like millionaire playboy Dan Bilzerian regularly visiting AKA we doubt whether many of the contestants in this game were desperate for money.

But if it inspires people to do a fun, physical challenge like this then that can’t be a bad thing can it?
