Shack

A shack is a type of small, often primitive shelter or dwelling.

It is possible that up to a billion people worldwide live in shacks. Fire is a significant hazard in tight-knit shack settlements. Shack settlements are also sometimes known as slums or shanty towns.

In Australian English shack can also refer to a small holiday house with limited conveniences, for instance it may not have running water or electricity.

In oilfield drilling (Canada) a shack can also be the word for a wellsite trailer. Structures that were once notorious among oilfield workers for being cramped, uncomfortable and generally unpleasant to be in are now no longer good enough for companies that are serious about employee retention.

Boom! (TV series)

Boom! is an American reality television series that aired on Spike TV in 2005 and was hosted by Kourtney Klein. It featured a group of demolition experts using explosives to destroy objects such as trailers, houses, boats and cars. Often, the suggestions on what should be blown up were sent in by home viewers via a "BOOM! Mailbag". Each episode covered obtaining the materials (such as the item to be destroyed), cleaning, gutting, and rigging the thing with explosives, and then making the final countdown and pushing the detonator, and watching the devastation.

Boom! (2015 TV series)

Boom! is an American television game show that premiered on the Fox network on June 25, 2015. An adaptation of an Israeli series with the same title,Boom! is a general-knowledge quiz show where three players must correctly answer questions in order to defuse bombs. The program's stage utilizes 3D projection mapping featuring more than one million LEDs. Boom! is produced by Jeff Apploff and Bob Boden.

Format

Main game

A team of three players has to answer six questions that have multiple correct answers but only one incorrect answer. One player from the team is chosen to cut the wires on a bomb that correspond to the correct answers. There is a time limit for every question; the clock stops whenever a wire is cut; after which a three-second countdown commences. If a wire corresponds to a correct answer, play continues until all correct wires are cut. Once all the correct wires are cut, the bomb is successfully defused and the team banks the money for that particular question. If a contestant cuts the wire that corresponds to an incorrect answer, or if time runs out before all correct wires are cut, the bomb "explodes" (i.e. the substance inside the bomb will spray on the contestant). This will result in the contestant's elimination from the game, and no money will be banked by the team for that particular question. Because of the messiness of the blasts, everyone on stage, including the host, is required to wear goggles when a bomb is being played. Plus all audience members sitting in the front rows, referred to by the host as "the splatter zone" are required to wear goggles and rain ponchos.
