Did you know

During the "glass bridge" challenge, all of the shots of contestants falling through the glass trap doors were shot using stunt doubles.

While condense for TV, the first game, "Red light, green light", took hours to film. The players would all have to stand still for up to 40 minutes each time while producers checked to see if anyone had moved.

Producers did not specifically tell the participants to play dead once they were eliminated, but hinted that the more "dramatic" they acted when losing, the more likely the footage was to make it into the show.
