In a surprise reality TV move that would make even the infamously gargantuan Kardashian family envious, Japan is ushering in the new season of 'Annualex', its maritime reality show that promises big waves of drama. With United States, Australia, and Canada set to take the spotlight in the series, Philippines tantalized fans as they bagged the VIP pass to the first viewing.

Named in loving honor of the annual military exercise that Japan coordinates, the show flaunted a uniquely sea-themed take on the well-loved classic maneuvers. Going where no reality show has dared to sail before, the show pitched its naval forces amid a splash of diplomatic purples and blues, showcasing an odd concoction of geopolitics and showbiz. "If you thought Love Island was spicy, just wait till you see Annualex!" enthused Japan's Prime Minister, the newly minted showrunner of this ocean extravaganza. But as if that wasn't enough to stir the pacific pot, Philippines was invited to the show as a first-time observer, effectively raising the tension barometer to record highs.
