NEW GAMES FOR EPISODE 7 OF "I SURVIVED A JAPANESE GAME SHOW," AIRING WEDNESDAY, JULY 29, ON ABC

** Jamie Lewis (Fairless Hills, PA) Eliminated **

"Episode 207" -- The craziness continues for Americans competing in Japan when the fifth episode of "I Survived a Japanese Game Show" airs WEDNESDAY, JULY 29 (9:02-10:00 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network. Jamie Lewis (Fairless Hills, PA) was eliminated on last night's show.

"I Survived a Japanese Game Show" is a hilarious, behind-the-scenes and ground-breaking show giving 12 Americans a real, life-changing adventure by whisking them away to Tokyo to compete in the ultimate Japanese game show. Each week a player will be eliminated and the final winner will take home $250,000. Rome Kanda ("Pink Panther," "Saturday Night Live") is the game show host leading the contestants through all of the zany challenges; Mama-San is the house mother and resident pot stirrer; and Judge Bob is the rarely dynamic but always entertaining referee of the games.

Here are the games in "Episode 207":

SOUR MILK FOR KITTY

Three teammates who are dressed as cats wearing bowl helmets and standing on shaking platforms try to transfer milk relay-style into a receptacle. The team with most accumulated milk in 3 1/2 minutes wins the game.

BIG FOOT BANG BANG

One teammate is put in a giant shoe and suspended by a wire while another teammate swings that person into giant balloons teed up one-at-a-time by another teammate. Meanwhile, the opposing team has a goalie dressed as a giant cactus and he or she is pulled by two teammates into position to either block or pop the incoming balloons. The offensive team that scores the most goals in 4 minutes wins the game.

YOU LOOK FUNNY STUCK ON A WALL!

In this favorite of fans, two contestants wearing Velcro suits jump on a trampoline to throw themselves at various body pattern outlines and try to get the best match within each outline. The first contestant to win four points wins the game.

The executive producers are Arthur Smith and Kent Weed for A. Smith & Co. ("Kitchen Nightmares," "Hell's Kitchen"), and David Sidebotham, Karsten Bartholin and Tim Crescenti for Babyfoot APS Denmark.
