Unfortunately, any "extreme" game shows in the US are copies of ones from Japan.

Ones like "Hole in the Wall' and "Dog Eat Dog" are a couple.
There was another one that was based on XMC (Most Extreme Challenge) but I don't know if it lasted long.

The reason we don't create shows like that is because we have such a wussy-a$$ed nation of idiots that even when they read the fine print and the injury disclaimer that would spell out in IDIOT-PROOF letters that they assume all risks involved, they would turn around and sue for injuries sustained from their involvement.

Now we have to contend with lame-a$$ed copies of shows from the 60's and 70's, and the remakes are even lamer than the originals.
