The year is 2009. Nickelodeon, the innocent cable channel behind Double Dare, the codifier of the modern Children's Game Show, hasn't had a good new game show since 2000 (and no, Scaredy Camp and My Parents' GUTS are Better than Your Parents' GUTS are debatable). But in September 2009, they made a breakthrough, imported the Japanese show "Brain Survivor", and came up with BrainSurge.

  • The year is 2009. Nickelodeon, the innocent cable channel behind Double Dare, the codifier of the modern Children's Game Show, hasn't had a good new game show since 2000 (and no, Scaredy Camp and My Parents' GUTS are Better than Your Parents' GUTS are debatable). But in September 2009, they made a breakthrough, imported the Japanese show "Brain Survivor", and came up with BrainSurge. The game primarily tested the memory and comprehension skills of the contestants, starting with six contestants trying to quickly figure out the numbers conveyed visual puzzles, entered on keypads. Then, sans the two lowest scoring contestants (who have to go down ... the Brain Drain!), the remaining four in turn play Level 2, where they answered questions from a story (from the "Big Book of Truth"), locking in by sitting on a chair covered in Whoopee Cushions. The first to answer incorrectly is greeted by farts, and gets pulled backwards through the (paper) teeth of a giant mouth made to look like Jeff's face. This then continued until someone else answered incorrectly, who also faced the same fate. For the final round, Level 3, the two contestants play a matching game with eight pairs of pictures from the story. If a player fails to match, the other player can automatically win if they make a match on their next pick, who then got to play the Bonus Round. And the loser, along with the eliminated from round two, also got to go down the Brain Drain (which for the record, is a slide, made to look like a human ear, complete with "wax" foam. Wouldn't be a Nickelodeon show without unnecessary messiness). Season 3 brought some major changes, along with being moved to Nick at Nite (before being moved back to Nickelodeon in October 2011), it is now Family BrainSurge, and is now played with five teams of two. Other adjustments include only playing 4 puzzles in Level 1, and the addition of a lifeline in Level 2.
