NBC Pulls Ultimate Slip 'N Slide from Schedule After 'Explosive Diarrhea' Outbreak on Set

NBC's upcoming reality competition Ultimate Slip 'N Slide has been pulled from its post-Olympics premiere time slot, according to a new report

people.com

News of this debut delay comes after production on Ultimate Slip 'N Slide was halted indefinitely on June 2, when a crew member on the show's set in Simi Valley, California, tested positive for giardia — a microscopic parasite that, when swallowed, causes diarrheal disease.

While it is not known how many people have been affected by the parasite, The Wrap previously reported that "up to 40 crew members fell violently ill" and the set experienced an outbreak of "awful explosive diarrhea" — with some people "collapsing" and "being forced to run into port-o-potties."
