The Misery Index season 2 episode 7, titled "No One Told Sal" brings a new set of challenges for the contestants and viewers alike. In this episode, Sal Vulcano, one of the stars of truTV's Impractical Jokers, joins the cast as a special guest.
The Misery Index is a game show that measures just how awful some real-life situations can be. This show takes a unique approach to game shows by asking contestants to predict how miserable people's lives are, based on a sequence of events. Whether it's a woman who lost her hand while trying to pet a tiger, or a man who had his penis bitten by a spider, these unfortunate situations are ranked based on their "Misery Index" score.
Each episode consists of three rounds, where two teams compete against each other to decide which miserable event has a higher score. The winning team has the chance to earn a $30,000 grand prize by guessing the exact "Misery Index" score of the final round.
"No One Told Sal" features six new contestants, who are split into two teams to compete against each other. The first round presents a series of terrible scenarios, including a man getting bitten by a shark while saving a beached whale, and a woman getting stuck in an X-ray machine during a break-in. The teams must guess which scenario has a higher "Misery Index" score to earn points.
Round two invites the contestants to play a game of "What's The Damage?", where they must guess the average cost of expensive mistakes, such as a man drilling through his own hand while fixing a fence. The teams must make educated guesses in order to earn points.
Finally, round three puts Sal Vulcano himself in the hot seat, as he describes a miserable situation he's experienced firsthand. The contestants must guess the "Misery Index" score of Sal's situation for their chance to win the grand prize.
This episode provides plenty of laughs and cringes, as the contestants guess which terrible situations have the highest "Misery Index" scores. The show's unique take on measuring misery makes for a thrilling and entertaining game show, and the addition of Sal Vulcano adds an extra layer of excitement to the episode. Fans of the show are sure to enjoy this latest episode of The Misery Index.
