MXC (Most Extreme Elimination Challenge) is a Japanese game show that has been dubbed into English and reedited by Spike TV. Each episode features two teams competing in various obstacle courses and challenges, interspersed with comedic commentary and skits.
In season 4 episode 10, titled "Supermodels vs. Steroid Users," the teams are exactly what the title suggests: a group of infamous steroid users versus a team of leggy supermodels. The steroid users are led by a massive bodybuilder named "Huge Hefner," while the supermodel team captain is a woman named "Twiggy."
The episode begins with the teams introducing themselves and trash-talking each other. The supermodels are confident in their agility and grace, while the steroid users boast about their strength and power. The first obstacle is "Dope on a Rope," in which contestants must swing across a pool using a rope, while being pelted with water balloons and spray from fire hoses. The steroid users take an early lead with their impressive upper body strength, but the supermodels catch up thanks to their skillful maneuvering.
Next up is "Great Holes of Glory," in which contestants must run across a rotating platform and jump through holes without falling into the water below. This is where the supermodels really shine, as their long legs and excellent balance propel them to the top of the leaderboard. The steroid users struggle to keep up, with some of them being too bulky and top-heavy to make it through the holes.
The third challenge is "Wall Bangers," where contestants must run up a steep wall and hit a button at the top before sliding back down. The steroid users have no trouble powering up the wall, but their size and weight make it difficult for them to hit the button. The supermodels, on the other hand, struggle with the initial sprint but are able to gracefully jump and hit the button with ease.
The fourth and final challenge is "Sinker Swim," where contestants must swim across a pool while being pelted with obstacles thrown by the opposing team. This is where the steroid users make a comeback, as their massive physiques provide them with a lot of momentum in the water. The supermodels, despite their compact frames, put up a valiant effort, but are ultimately no match for the sheer force of the steroid users.
Throughout the episode, the comedic commentary from hosts Vic and Kenny adds to the hilarity of the challenges. They make jokes about some of the contestants' appearances (such as "Huge Hefner" resembling a gorilla), as well as the absurdity of the challenges themselves. There are also several skits featuring characters like Captain Tenneal and Guy LaDouche, who add to the overall silliness of the show.
In the end, the winner of the episode is determined by a cumulative score of all of the challenges. Without giving away any spoilers, it's safe to say that the victor is well-deserved and the losing team takes the defeat in good spirits.
Overall, "Supermodels vs. Steroid Users" is a fun and entertaining episode of MXC that showcases the physical prowess (and sometimes, lack thereof) of both teams. With its irreverent humor and absurd challenges, it's easy to see why the show has become a cult classic among fans of offbeat television.
