Risikoerne

Risikoerne is a Danish television game show that originated in 2004. The show's concept involves contestants competing in various physical and mental challenges to win prizes and accumulate points. The ultimate goal is to win the "risk" - a significant cash prize that increases in value as more contestants drop out.

The show is hosted by Per Clausen, a Danish television host and comedian. The program typically features three contestants, each from a different country, who are dropped into a simulated jungle environment. The challenge format includes physical obstacles such as navigating through the jungle, escaping from danger, and completing missions. Contestants receive guidance and assistance from local help, but are otherwise on their own.

Each episode consists of a series of challenges, with winners of each challenge advancing in the show and accumulating points. The contestant with the lowest point score is eliminated, and the risk continues to increase in value. The show often incorporates elements of suspense, drama, and humor, as contestants work together and against each other to achieve their goals.

The original Risikoerne show was broadcast on the Danish television network TV 2 for several seasons, followed by international spin-offs in other countries, including Norway and Iceland. While the format has seen success in various countries, it has also been criticized for promoting a perceived lack of safety for contestants and not accurately representing the challenges of the real jungle environment.
