Now, lest you think that this contest is going to play host to the worst people that the world currently has to offer, there are a couple of caveats.
First of all, the show is, apparently, trying to make sure that as few homicidal maniacs as possible join in on this insane challenge by declaring that contestants need to be mentally sane in order to participate.
