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
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

My thoughts exactly on the Browns.Beauty queens seem to be helpless. The guffawing self-proclaimed "geniuses" need to go too. The less we see of Team Deliverance, the happier I will be. And I decided to hate any team with twins just on principle.

My local tv critic had the same complaint, only with the strategically-placed strikeout. He also bashed the show. So far, the overall reviews aren't looking too good: the Metacritic average is somewhere in the 30s.

I understand why he has to be used in this capacity because the two groups don't know about each other. I hope he gets more hands on when they meet up.

Does anyone else think there's an agreement between all the networks that whenever possible, they will cast black contestants who can't swim? Someone's trying to advance a stereotype. We need to counter this. Get me an Olympian.

Mt. Rushmore isn't in NEbraska, it's in South Dakota. It's about an 8 hour drive from Omaha, if you take I-29 North in Iowa. They may of taken a state hi-way through central NE.

I'm liking it to, and not just because it featured my home state. It feels like a cross between TAR, a great show, and The Mole, the greatest game show ever created. A few teams are obviously out classed, but should be a great race to the end.

80. "RE: Missed the last 10 minutes!!!!" |
The young Professionals were eliminated.I liked: - The clues such as having the bus going in the wrong direction until you tell the driver where to go and then having a wrong destination accepted! -The Bunching had a purpose. It matched the best teams of part 1 together, leaving the slowest paired up. I hated: The host. -The product placement with Motorola featured on every clue Laird gave. The unbalanced teams. I can say right now that either Air Force, Ex-CIA or Southie Boys are going to win and may all be in final 3. Teams "Wild Turkeys", "Too much Brownies", "Miss 1 brain for 3 bodies", Team "Guess how we got our As" and Team "We have 9 diplomas and don't know what to do with'em" don't have a chance. The "Weavers wannabees" are going to be the vilains. A preacher stealing a clue and his wife rejoicing in others' misery; nice!

I really liked this show it reminded me of the first season of TAR when contestants had figure out where they were going rather than just being told where to go. It makes it so anyone really has a chance. HATE the New Weavers if I were racing Mama would have gotten a punch in the throat from me for all the screechingLust the Southie Boys (have weakness for Boston accents) sort of rooting for the Browns as I always go for the underdogs loved that they started out with in two different places I'd alos like to see the grad students do well as they are an all female team but I dont have a lot of hope I expect Ms's USA will be gone soon

83. "RE: The show has started." |
I love reading these "live" threads, you guys crack me up. I need to get my laptop fixed so I can get back online while viewing.Anyway, I enjoyed the show so far. Sound/editing/casting could be better, but not everyone is Mark Burnett, so I allow some leeway for that. I love that there are real clues in this competition, though I really thought they were all too easy so far. I couldn't believe some of the teams had a hard time with "Stillwater Washington" before I even saw there was a map I figured it was Lake something. I was also surprised it was so difficult for the teams to figure out Mount Rushmore and when they had to open the boxes with the combination I was extremely dumbfounded that so many teams didn't immediately put in the numbers of the president's term in the order they were on Mt. Rushmore. To me, all the clues were pretty obvious and I agree with the team (YPs, I think) who said they were OVER-analyzing. The second best thing about this is the fact that they could give 2 answers the driver will follow with only one right answer. That was great. The casting could have been a lot better -- as said above with the stereotyping with the "Browns" -- was this the only African American family/related group that applied? You had to choose 3 less-than-fit men who can't swim? I have to say that until reality shows I never realized that so many African Americans are bouyancy-challenged. This stereotype has got to be blown on one of these shows. I agree that it seems a foregone conclusion which teams are most likely to make it to the end, as so many don't have a clue no matter how hard they look for one *ahem-mullet-brigade-ahem*. So, will there be a romance in the making between Miss USA clone and the mullet?? She sure finds is sexy. My money is on ex-CIA or Air Force with the Southies being the dark horse. Damn those geniouses for giving the answer to wild mullets, now I have to watch that mullet look at everything under the sun as a potential clue with the hillbilly twanging in the background. Shoot me now. Yet more stereotyping at its finest.  Kind Creation of ARNutz

I liked the show -- for the most part.I agree, the casting is rather weak, but it is just following what has become di regueur for reality shows these days. Did somebody up there say The Mole was the "best reality show ever"? Thanks. I'm worried, however, that the show will prove to be too esoteric for the tv public and will meet a slow and lonely death.

I don't know if I'd watch it if it weren't summer-season. As it is, I thought it was OK.The preacher family didn't bother me as much as they seem to have bothered everyone else. I thought they were a refreshing change from the religious folks who go on reality TV and then say that they won't bluff (lie), weasle, fight, etc to get ahead. IMO, if the rules allow it, you had better be doing it, and if you're not willing to do what it takes to win, sit your butt back down on the couch and let someone play who really wants it. I loved that they could pick the wrong location. I liked that the clues required a bit of deductive skill. I hated that they replayed the video phone instructions a billion times each. Twice, I can see. Four or more times is way over the top. The show was only 2 hours long, fer cryin' out loud. (Producer to audience: I think that you're all total idiots who have been watching so much TV that your attention span has been reduced to levels that would make a freaking goldfish blush with shame.)
