Presented by seductive Japanese mistress Mia, this game sees a group of men (hidden behind mirrored glass) ranking a group of women on the basis of various physical attributes. Unable to hear the men, the women must rank themselves in the order that they think the men will put them. For every position they are correct about they win £500 cash.
The fact that this show was produced by Endemol and screened on channel 5 in the UK and the time that it was screened should tell you what the makers were looking for 2335, just after pubs close. The concept is trashy and it doesn't aspire to anything beyond this, with the total delivery aiming for the seedy. Each round we focus on a different part face, bum, breasts and we get to hear the boys and girls discussing one another in separate rooms. It is rubbish of course but some parts of it work as drunken fodder. The discussions between the 5 girls are interesting as they try to think like men and also get a bit catty at times especially since all of them are a bit airheaded and conceited (who wants to say they are number 5?). The blokes are boring, saying nothing of value and just being typical lads and the final round that lets the women rank them is just a pointless bit of balance for a female audience who were never watching in the first place.
Mori plays Mia like a brothel madam talking seductively, looking down shyly and saying "my ladies" lots. She is cheesy and silly and just drops innuendo and smut where she can (the script gets her to say "ranking" as often as possible). In her defence she is very tongue-in-cheek and never takes it seriously at any point. The contestants are not the brightest in the world and are the sort of people that really wanted to be on Big Brother but took whatever came their way from the production company. So, although they show off their assets well enough, none seem that enamoured by the idea of splitting the few thousand pound prize between 5 of them.
Overall of then this is trash television but, if you are drunk and meet it on its terms then it might at least distract you. It is all delivered as a bit of fun and if you are in the mood then it might just do you but please don't expect anything more than the most basic fare or anything that will ever get a second series. Oh and in case you're interested in the title, they are not in a hot tub it just so happens that the show has been paid for by a spa and tub manufacturer, that's the sort of level the show is on.
