You're Back in the Room (Australian game show)
You're Back in the Room is an Australian television game show based on the British format of the same name. The show involves contestants attempting to complete a series of seemingly simple challenges while under the influence of hypnotic suggestions performed by a hypnotist, typically Keith Barry. The goal is to resist the hypnotist's suggestions long enough to successfully complete the challenges and win a cash prize.
The format typically involves five contestants competing in various rounds. Before each round, the hypnotist uses hypnotic techniques to induce specific suggestions or states in the contestants. These suggestions are designed to impair their ability to perform the challenge effectively, often leading to humorous and unpredictable outcomes. The challenges themselves are usually physical or skill-based games that would be relatively straightforward under normal circumstances.
Contestants are eliminated throughout the game based on their performance in the challenges. The last remaining contestant, or the team of contestants that successfully completes the final challenge, wins the grand prize. The show relies heavily on the entertainment value of the contestants' reactions to the hypnotic suggestions and the comedic chaos that ensues as they attempt to navigate the challenges. The Australian version has featured celebrity guests and hosted by prominent television personalities.
