XXS - Extra Extra Small is a television, physical and family game show created by Endemol Argentina and aired in many countries around the world, where contestants perform other everyday chores in a house built for a giant.[1] The first episode was broadcast in Turkey 2008. It is recorded at Endemol's filming facility in Benavídez, 35 kilometres (22 mi) south of Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Rules
Three families vie for cash prizes by seeing who can successfully complete a series of physical challenges. The game is played in a house where everything is 100 times bigger than the contestants, the families must complete the course in the quickest time in order to win the prize.[2]
In the show four timed rounds: a children's round, a mother's round, a father's round, and a family round.The show pits families in competitions set in an oversized house that makes them look like mice climbing giant sofas, inching across rolling pins over vats of chocolate milk and swimming through obstacles in a pool-sized washing machine.[3] The challenges may sound simple at first, like turning off a hairdryer, closing a water tap, or finding a pin in a bowl of pasta, but when faced with gargantuan objects, contestants must find strength, speed, and creativity to succeed. In the final round, the fate of each family is left up to the fathers. Each dad is submerged into a giant washing machine where he must hold on as long as he can while the increasing centrifugal force of the washing machine tests his strength. As velocity increases, soap and water are released and the fathers must avoid being thrown out with the clothes.
And as if that weren't enough, for every challenge that a family previously lost, a five-kilo weight is strapped to the dad's body. The family whose father holds on the longest wins the game.
