PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out

Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue

Looking forward to learning more about Morocco certainly. Hoping that this is a Treasure Hunters type show!

I just watched the 15 minute preview on ABC.com…so far it just looks like an extremely physical Amazing Race (without all the stupid bunch points) – which is fine by me since I am starting to go into TAR withdrawal! It’ll be interesting to see what new elements come into play like navigation.I love that one of the trash talking teams had so much trouble with the very first leg. I won’t give anything away but after reading their bios their problem might be understandable. Very surprising how small the prize is though – just $150,000 for the team (plus three Ford Explorers). Way to cheap out Burnett! 
Fooner cracked my code

This totally looks like a hybrid of Eco-Challenge (a real adventure race that Mark cut his chops on) and Amazing Race. I'm really looking forward to seeing this one.

lol...
well, I'm kinda busy hosting 'Survivor 2nd Chances' and will soon start 'BigBrother Reality Aptitude Test'. So unless it turns into something I just can't resist (and is mega easy to host) it's doubtful that I will be the one to begin a game for EI.
But...Let's see how ep 1 turns out?

13. "Premier showing" |
LAST EDITED ON 06-24-11 AT 09:09 AM (EST)Thirteen teams of 3 each begin the Expedition to the shots of Moroccan mounted rifles. We get the hint they're there by some sort of special permission of the local warlord. We're told the last team to arrive at the end of any of 10 "stages" (legs) will be eliminated. Teams are fairly easy to recognized because each team has its own clothing color/style. Lot of comments about the high socks worn by the Fab 3. Already, just in the first climb up a huge sand dune, we're seeing the first fly drop -- and it's not a gal, it's an athletic guy, an Afro-American in the Country Boys team (bet he doesn't listen to country). At "Checkpoint" 1, the Latin Persuasion gals start by dragging their packs in the sand when there are camels to carry the load. "This is not a beauty pageant, it's a competition", one of them says. Finally, they get properly mounted (this is no code). Well, duh. It can't get worse than this, can it? It does. Seems like quite a few folks are getting their brains baked in the 100o desert and start acting irrationally. One team decides to start digging holes in the sand without any obvious clue as to where to dig apart from where tents are pitched. Ding, ding, ding! There's water about 3 feet down, although it doesn't look palatable. After the dig-a-hole-in-the-sand-for-water task, the next checkpoint comes after a long climb through rough, rocky terrain with a bit of rope work, ending with a 300' rappelling drop. The thirteen teams eventually break up into three clumps, with about four or five teams per group. One sprained ankle and party's over, so they take it slow. And anyone who hasn't practiced rope work is going to be a seriously liability as one team (Mom's Army, I think) finds out. After visiting a small camp of Moroccans playing with snakes, two paths lead out, with teams choosing the path instructions based depending on how many snakes they count. One route is correct, the other route eventually leads to a hand-painted Wrong Way sign. Of the first group of four teams, No Limits team misses the snake count and takes the wrong path and has to reverse course. Some teams make it before nightfall, some don't. There's no bunch points on this course, so the front-running teams tend to stay there, the lagging teams continue to fall behind. Latin Persuasion and Grandpa's Warriors are out there hiking in the dark with flashlights mounted on their heads, and the Latin gals are about to shut down on the trail. And they end up last. "You're the last team to arrive cross the finish line. I'm sorry to tell you your Expedition is over and you're going home". Next week the adventure continues with wild horses and gushing river rapids.

16. "RE: Premier showing" |
LAST EDITED ON 06-23-11 AT 10:12 PM (EST)Yeah, I'm kinda liking it too. There are a few teams I like, and a few I wonder what the heck they're doing out there. Unlike Amazing Race, there aren't any bunch points, so they tend to stretch out more and run in packs of teams. It's definitely a physical challenge and while it's not too dangerous, any stupid moves can result in an injury serious enough to halt and eliminate the team. Hiking in the dark in that kind of terrain is risky business. My guess is that they hiked maybe at most 5 miles. Sounds short, but they may not have averaged even half a mile an hour on that course with the very rough terrain, climbs, rappelling, in some cases darkness, and the stops along the way.

Both no hats -- and in some cases, where serious rope work was being done, no helmets and/or pads. Seems like some teams thought this was going to be a walk up the beach along Highway 101. Notably, I didn't see anyone drinking water (maybe it's just the edit), but in that kind of weather (hot, dry), it's easy to get dehydrated.

Enjoyed watching the interplay between the people, which is what the premise of most non-singing reality shows are about. But I hated that it was so much like TAR, a little like Survivor, and the host was just booooooring.Will just have to wait and see how it goes. It was definitely a no brainer that the Latinas were going to head out. Did NOT realize they'd be escorted on a private red jet. Now THAT is interesting and a new twist. I guess for the lack of summer-time entertainment, can't be too bad, but I personally miss The Mole, and think that the 'reward' really sucks!

He also came off as being amateurish as well as charmless, right to the end. Here he is clapping and waving and telling Grandpa's team and the Latinos (the last two teams) to hustle up to the finish line after a grueling night hike, as if they were just moseying around. It's as they made him late for a dinner date somewhere. He showed no real sympathy for the eliminated team, either, not giving them much of a chance to say anything at the end (this could be the edit, but I suspect they didn't want to talk to him anyway).

52. "RE: PTTE Expedition Impossible" |
Okay...This was difficult.
My thought process took me first making a list based on what my heart was feeling for these people, which teams I liked.
I then noticed that my list looked very similar to every other players list. So I thought, well, I often return to my favorite psychic list maker, the Pirate name generator.
That list certainly didn't tun out the same. And truly, the PNG isn't always right.
So, since I'm a man of spreadsheets and averages I couldn't help but try and figure in a way to meld these two lists together.
That result was then further jimmied with because truly, from the teal colored blood that runs through my losery veins, from my losery toes to my losery nose, I just DON'T win these things. Whether I try to or not. So in a way, the further mix-melds I make, either the closer I get or the farther away... but from what?
Well whatever the end result, here is my list, for the 1st Expedition Impossible PTTE.12th ~ NY Firemen
11th ~ Team Kansas
10th ~ Cops
9th ~ Football Players
8th ~ Gypsies
7th ~ No Limits
6th ~ Grandpa's Warriors
5th ~ Country Boys
4th ~ Mom's Army
3rd ~ California Girls
2nd ~ Fishermen
1st ~ Fab 3 *Winners!* *Go Teal!*

46. "Observations Anyone?" |
LAST EDITED ON 06-24-11 AT 10:39 PM (EST)I can't say I paid a lot of attention to the premiere's editing but some things stood out: These bottom teams weren't featured at all
California Girls
The Fishermen
Team Kansas
The Cops
I think we can put them in the "likely early elimination" category. Grandpa's Warriors were probably only shown because they were in danger of elimination. They had a slightly positive edit (the girl saying she was the weak link instead of grandpa) to make us want them to beat the latino girls. They should be early exits.
The NY Firemen and Mom's Army had slightly more airtime than those other teams so maybe they last a little longer.
The Country Boys looked weak even if they are strong alpha men so maybe there was a reason for showing their moment of weakness. Of note, one of the country boys had an interview at the end of the show which stood out to me for some reason. Call them my longshot to win it all. The top teams had to be shown so it's too early to really separate them. But, by first impression: The Football Players were only featured through the words of Akbar Gbaja-Biamila. He wasn't a star but he would be more remembered by NFL fans than the latest Survivor football players. So his airtime could be only due to his "celebrity" status. For the eventual leg winners, it didn't feel like The Gypsies received any special treatment. No Limits were always going to be featured and they were given a nice "underdogs that are going to be overlooked by the other teams" edit. I'd put them as second favorites for the win right now. It felt like the Fab 3 had the most personal development so they are my early favorites for the win.

I think they were called checkpoints and stages in Eco-Challenge as well. The difference was that in Eco-Chellenge, you had cutoff times that you had to meet on each stage, where here, they just eliminate the team in last, TAR-style.
