Of course not. ABC lied to its viewers. In Episode 1, the narrator clearly says "but they're really here to compete on one of the wildest Japanese game shows."
As a Japanese citizen, I probably laughed at different things in this "reality show" than the American viewers, such as the occasional use of Chinese music, the big red Torii gate at the house the contestants stay in, the wacky, non-Japanese way the paid studio audience act, etc.
In short, the general American view of the Japanese hasn't changed that much since I first visited America over 30 years ago.
