The craziness continues for Americans competing in Japan when "Episode 103" of "I Survived a Japanese Game Show" airs TUESDAY, JULY 8 on the ABC Television Network. One of the games in the new hour: PEDAL FAST OR BIG SPLASH. Two teammates riding tricycles take turns trying to stay in a marked zone on a moving conveyor belt. The other teammates ride stationary bicycles and control the speed of the conveyor belt with their own pedaling -- the faster they pedal, the slower the conveyor goes. The team with the most time in the marked area wins, and a team plays until both tricycle riders drop into a giant ice filled pool of water.

Another day, another crazy Japanese game!! Contestants are dressed as a baby and they spin around and around until they are dizzy.

Contestants throw projectiles at a Velcro-clad teammate suspended by a wire when opponents pull the Velcro warrior from side to side, trying their best to keep the objects from sticking. For elimination, two contestants swing on some ropes from a platform into a line of seven doors one at a time, trying to find the three solid doors in the fastest time they can get. Another team must face elimination, but who is it going to be this week?

Two teammates spin in chairs at different ends of the field, then they must cross one another to get a lock or ring with three keys. Then they meet back in the middle on two smaller spinning disks to unlock the lock and then head back to their own seats. In the elimination game, the contestants change three times into a unique Japanese costume. The contestant with the fastest cumulative time wins.
