10 WTF Moments From Japan's Most Insane Reality Show

8. He Had Nothing For Hygiene

Food was certainly on the top of the list of things that Nasubi required to continue living, but it wasn't the only thing he needed to make his time in the room slightly more bearable. Provided with a toilet and shower that had running water, it was up to Nasubi to procure things like toilet paper and shampoo on his own. Somewhat unsurprisingly, there aren't many contests that offer toilet paper as a prize. As time went on and Nasubi's hair and fingernails exploded out of his body, he began to look less like a person and more like an emaciated goblin, treasuring every little trinket that fell into his hoard of prizes. It wasn't until three months into his isolation that he received something most of us take for granted, a toothbrush and a sample sized packet of toothpaste. It was Nasubi's first taste of cleanliness in the last quarter of a year, and he cherished it. His appearance was still frail and terrifying, but at least he could have clean teeth for a while. While I don't want to spoil my reveal of how long he spent in the room just yet, know that he went without toilet paper and nail clippers for much, much longer than three months.
