I've got an archive of saved videos going back to 2009 but this one looks to have slipped through all of my computer and hard drive changes.
It was a British reality show (I think). Not Big Brother or I'm a Celebrity or anything that made its way to America. This episode featured a competition between two teams. It might have been themed on rural/country life because I recall the contestants being dressed like farmers and the scene taking place in an open field of some sort. The losing team got tied to some kind of post while the winning team absolutely destroyed them with messy substances. There was squealing, chaos, one of the losers had something rubbed on her legs while another got something else poured down her dress. It was a good time.
Anyone recall what I'm talking about? Do I sound like a lunatic? Seeing this on Youtube a long time ago was a foundational WAM memory but damned if I can figure out the search terms to find it now...
Quote: Channel 5's The Farm saw 10 celebrities live and work on a farm and are eliminated by a public vote until the Top Farmer is revealed. During series one in 2004, the celebrities taking part included footballer Stan Collymore, magician Paul Daniels and his wife Debbie McGee, along with 5ive singer Ritchie Neville, Vanilla Ice, Rebecca Loos and eventual winner Jeff Brazier. The show courted controversy and outrage from the RSPCA when it showed Loos masturbating a pig. The show lasted for two series with the second one broadcast in 2005 which featured the likes of Public Enemy's Flavour Flav, Lionel Blair, Ron Jeremy and winners Keith Harris & Orville the Duck
Sounds like something that could have happened on it for sure!

You're a hero. I'm almost entirely certain that's what it was. It's too bad there are only a couple of clips from that show left on youtube, but from searching TopWAM (and vaguely remembering the file name I saved that clip under back in the day), I think that's what I was thinking of. The TopWAM search doesn't have that particular episode/event, but at least I know it wasn't all in my head. Thanks!
EDIT: So...does anyone actually HAVE the clip I was talking about?
Probably not the episode you're thinking of, but this episode has a messy penalty for the losing team in the first half of the show. (And for those into forced haircuts, a very unhappy guy getting his hair destroyed in the second half!)
Yes this was brilliant , they had cruel Holiday/winter and summer lots of humiliating tasks and messy scenes , it's a shame all these shows seem to be lost , would love to see wudja cudja and indecent proposals too from same era late 90s early 00s.

I've been wanting to see these Cruel series for years now. When they originally aired I didn't have the Trouble channel and have only seen the few clips that were posted online. There has been quite a lot mentioned online about this show over the years since they aired but it's one of those shows that is impossible to find unless someone recorded them.
Love you, too
