Splash! (Chinese TV series)

Splash!, also known as Xing Tiao Shui Li Fang (星跳水立方) in Mandarin, was a Chinese reality television show that aired on Jiangsu Television (JSTV). It was a celebrity diving competition format based on the Dutch show Celebrity Splash! The show featured various celebrities who were trained by professional diving coaches and competed by performing dives for a panel of judges.

The program gained significant attention in China due to the inherent danger and skill required for diving, as well as the participation of popular celebrities. The contestants underwent rigorous training to learn different diving techniques, including entries, somersaults, and twists. Judges evaluated the dives based on difficulty, execution, and overall performance. Public voting also played a role in determining the final results.

While Splash! enjoyed a period of popularity, it also faced scrutiny regarding safety concerns for the celebrity participants, many of whom had no prior diving experience. The show highlighted the physical and mental challenges involved in mastering diving and provided viewers with a glimpse into the dedication and effort required to perform at even an amateur level.
