Darcy Sletagar’s 15 minutes of television fame ended a bit early Tuesday night when she was the first of 10 contestants booted from the new reality series, “I Survived A Japanese Game Show.” Unfortunately, the 31-year-old Sandpoint woman was probably to blame for her “Yellow Penguin” team losing its first 5-on-5 competition with the “Green Monkey” team. She fell three times during a game show on Japanese TV in which contestants ran along a threadmill with a tray on their head to deliver a mochi ball for a teammate to eat. Her team lost 10 mochi balls to 9. Then, she was selected by her team to be one of two players to compete in an elimination round. Dressed as a red-and-black bug, she lost that contest (in which participants splatted on a “windshield” bulls-eye to score points) in overtime 24-23. More below .
