Protagonistas de la Fama

Protagonistas de la Fama (Protagonists of Fame) (2003) was the first Chilean reality show and marked a milestone in the country's television landscape: it combined bull runs, competitions, and audience votes with the typical drama of a soap opera, generating a ratings and pop culture phenomenon. Although some contestants briefly achieved fame, its legacy lies in having imported the reality format to the national screen and launching characters who became part of the collective memory.

BattleBots

The first season aired starting in August 2000, and the fifth season aired starting in August 2002.

Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern

Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern is a travel and cuisine television show hosted by Andrew Zimmern on the Travel Channel. The first season debuted on Monday, February 26, 2007 at 9pm ET/PT. Bizarre Foods focuses on regional cuisine from around the world which is typically perceived by Americans as being disgusting, exotic, or bizarre. In each episode, Zimmern focuses on the cuisine of a particular country or region. He typically shows how the food is procured, where it is served, and, usually without hesitation, eats it. Originally a one-hour documentary titled Bizarre Foods of Asia, repeated showings on the Travel Channel drew consistent, considerable audiences. In late 2006, it was decided to turn the documentary into a weekly, one-hour show with the same premise and with Andrew Zimmern as the host. In 2009, Zimmern took a break from Bizarre Foods to work on one season of the spin-off Bizarre World.
