'Total Blackout' Series Premiere: contestants freak out in the dark
On the "Total Blackout" (Wed., 10 p.m. ET on Syfy) Series Premiere contestants had to take part in challenges in the dark while host Jaleel White egged them on.
Because they couldn't see anything the contestants had to rely on their other four senses, which meant their imaginations sometimes got the better of them.
So, we had hilarious freak-outs from touching a pineapple and a cleaning brush in the dark. And the challenges only got harder from there.
Eventually, the worst-performing contestant found out her fate when they all had to jump onto squares. The others landed safely, but she fell screaming through a hole in the floor.
Check out Jaleel White's fancy footwork on "Dancing With the Stars," airing Mondays at 8 p.m. ET and Tuesdays at 9 p.m. ET on ABC. "Total Blackout" continues on Wednesdays at 10 p.m. ET on Syfy.
