Women wearing ugly goggles with cartoon eyes painted on them, sticking their faces into occasionally messy substances. Best coverage is lower half of face, worst is a little bit on the lips.

The "Bet Your Wife" is women wearing ugly mirrored blindfold goggles (they look like fly eyes) and being dropped into brown liquid. Decent clothing coverage if you like that. Poor for facial coverage, due to the bad angle (the women can put their hands out so their faces don't get submerged at all) and of course the terrible goggles.

I actually scanned through the show itself last night and realized exactly WHY it annoys me so much. This is a prime-time mainstream TV show, with actual MESSY stunts where the mess primarily goes to females. (As opposed to literally every other mainstream show in history, which overwhelmingly sticks it to the guys.)
In theory, these games could all be incredibly messy. In actuality, the combination of setup and execution means every single stunt disappoints every single time.

By contrast, a show like Spellmageddon actually made these same kind of stunts genuinely messy, but of course that show was 50% dudes (or more), aired on a tiny network, and got cancelled after 13 episodes.

Dropped into a tank? Fully clothed? What are they wearing? Never mind the goggles, that sounds like the motherlode of clothed TV wam - shades of Get Your Own Back? Videos aren't viewable in the UK either though so can't check.

I mean, it might be.... The lack of facial coverage and making the women look like The Fly ruins it for me personally, but if all your care about is the clothes this is probably a good stunt.

Hmm, interesting concept but it looks as if the wires somewhat distort her jeans, I was expecting she'd be on a swing that lowered in like they used to do on some German game shows.

The goggles aren't bad (some people have a fetish for women in swim goggles) but agree the comedy eyes do look a bit daft. Not quite true to say all I care about is the clothes, it's rather that I couldn't care less about face coverage - I don't mind if it's there (and due to audience demand we now include full head and face coverage in all our own scenes) but while messy shampooing can be awesome, personally actual face coverage does nothing for me, and if it's done too early it means you then can't see the gungee's experessions as the rest of her is messed up.

Would be interesting to see "first dip" from this, assuming they film it sensibly, from the side, and not head-on, blocking the view of what's actually happening. Which bit of her goes into the goo first - it actually looks as if it might be crotch and trunk, which must feel utterly amazing!
