Takeshi's Castle is Japanese, kthx.
Right you are, Ken!
Ooh, that's gotta hurt!
Yes, and it was televised even in Germany. But that's not the point. The post is US defaultism par excellence, not because it depicts US-american TV shows but because it defaults to a US-american perspective and audience on an international platform.

And I would bet that the original OP meant the American-dubbed version Most Extreme Elimination Challenge that was on TV in the early 2000s.
