Sex-based reality television shows may not be the shocking new idea that they were a couple of years ago, but the new Colombian program “Los Pichones”, produced for the Kamasutra cable channel, pushes the envelope a bit. The show’s concept is simple — at the end of each show, the contestants that have the most boring sex get voted off, while the most obscene or scandalous couple wins a prize. The last couple standing wins the grand prize, which isn’t specified anywhere I’ve seen but is hopefully something super-exciting.

A lot of the stunts or challenges presented seem kinda fun: Renting a truck and having a little road-nookie, having sex in front of a group of your friends or putting on a little S&M vignette. Hell, most of that sounds like a week in the life of some of our very own Sex Carnival contributors. But the challenge that involves having sex in a barnyard, surrounded by animals and rolling around in pig-, chicken- and/or horseshit… Well, it sounds a little more Fear Factor than I think most folks would be strictly comfortable with either doing or watching. Call me a Puritan if you will, but I think that there are places in the human body that pigshit just shouldn’t go.

More here, but it’s in the Spanish.
