Man O Man (spelled as Mann-o-Mann) was a German game show, which aired on Sat.1 from 1992 until 1995. It was produced by Reg Grundy and hosted by Peer Augustinski. The show was loosely in the format of a beauty pageant, but with male contestants. An all-female audience voted for the winner via a series of elimination rounds, in which losing contestants would be pushed into a swimming pool.

Facts from the source article.

Format

Each episode began with ten male contestants coming onto the stage and introducing themselves to the audience. Based on these first impressions, the audience eliminated the three least popular men. The remaining seven then played a true-or-false game testing how much they knew about women. The next two rounds involved the final five contestants: first a fairground hammer bell challenge, then performing various songs for karaoke. The final three survivors advanced to a round where they answered questions from the girls, testing their ability to cope under pressure. After this, the audience voted for the winner, and the two runner-up contestants were pushed into the pool simultaneously. Throughout the competition, members of the entirely female audience voted for their favorite man using a remote control device, and the least popular male was eliminated by being pushed into the swimming pool by one of the show's hostesses.
