We picked up some details on this a few months ago<\/a> but it looks like a press release has dropped for Society Game<\/strong>, a new show from South Korea that looks like it shares DNA with Bother’s Bar favourite The Genius<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>(series three discussion linked, others on the Specials Board) – from what we gather same director, same production company (CJ E & M, although interestingly a co-prod with Endemol) and it sounds like Bandage Man might be involved.<\/p>\n

But if you’re looking for a show built around clever games my gut feeling suggests you may be a bit disappointed. It looks like contestants are split into two camps, one camp has a leader who will be authoritarian, the other will be democratic. Camps are given physical and mental challenges and it sounds like someone from the losing camp will get kicked off.<\/p>\n

So it’s not The Genius<\/em>, although there’s no reason it won’t be entertaining in more [extreme] ways. the set-up sounds quite interesting at least and will finally<\/em> answer the age old question as to whether a dictatorship or democracy is OFFICIALLY better I’m sure.<\/p>\n

They seem to have gone all-out on the set:<\/p>\n
