Wetlook World Forum

The interesting bit (and good news) is...Vida Tv are basically copying the Italian show "Ciao Darwin" with their quiz show where the people are seated in flooding water tanks. ..and..Vida TV from Mexico have made some improvements to correct the 2 biggest faults with the Italian version.

In Italy, the main problem was the design of the water tank...which was cylindrical, like a giant test tube...and the curvature of the glass made the contestants look ridiculous....i.e. huge fat bodies with small pin heads..like the finale to "Beeltlejuice"...ha ha. Also..in Italy...then only flooded water in..and never lowered the water level so you could see any wet clothes.

On this new Vida TV version of this water tank game...they have made the water tanks square, with flat glass...like "Get Smart" phone booths...so there is no distortion of people's bodies...and...they keep raising AND lowering the water level several times....so you get a much more interesting wetlook perspective doing it this way.

More good news is that because this is on Vida TV (not Big Brother) it will not be a one time event...cos Vida TV is a daily show, that often uses the same props and same games many times. Trust me...I know how much it costs to build water tanks like that ...10 to 20 grand..(my friend Ed in Key West built one recently)...and when you invest money into building expensive water tanks like that...it means that they are sure to be used on a regular basis (same way the shower booth gets used so often on the "Battle of the Sexes" show from Mexico too).

Also...you get 2 chances to tape the wet scenes...cos should you happen to miss the show each day at 4pm...you can catch the re-run, cos they repeat the show at 2am each night too...so if you missed today's show...which had 2 well dressed ladies in dresses in the water tank..then tune in at 2am later this evening to Galavision to catch the re-run.
