He'll be the 'treasure beyond their imagination'? This'd only be true if 'beyond their imagination' means 'only in their nightmares'.The most disappointing thing to me was the viewer search for the $100,000. It was way too easy. Completing those internet tasks online was harder than the search. It must have taken an hour tops. They should've made 'em sleep in tents overnight at least. And the geniuses won! Even if Air Force *sigh* deserved to win more, they definately needed it most--med school costs a lot of money. I was surprised by the prize. I figured it would be $1 million at the most. But three was awesome. --gotta love Tribe and his awesome siggies! My goodness, I used lots of italics in this post.

I'll agree... wow, that was a spectacular disaster for the 40 minutes or so of the live finale. I'm sure it rankled some of the other teams that these ten loozers got to win $10K and had a chance to win $100K, while the contestants travelled all over the country and slogged through mud and ice to come up empty-handed. Note that they didn't try to make any distinction between second place or third place after the Genii won, so it leads me to believe that all of the runner-up teams got about the same amount of peanuts tossed their way.Treasure Hunters has enormous potential to be a really great show but it's mind-boggling to see how much it was screwed up. Why, for the life of me, didn't they try to hype up the treasure more? Three million dollars worth of gold really should have been hyped up as that would have been really attention-grabbing. The editing of the show was pretty lousy as well, a little more tweaking of the editing, the show would have been really dynamite. A Tribe siggie "Tsk, tsk. Pepe's messing with the newbies again."

Did they really show us scenes we hadn't seen before?He cut off people when asking them a question....they didn't allow for educated answer. I would have liked to have seen more about the gals who carried their team member and their canoe, more than the Fogals. At least there was one weak attempt to slam Katie Fogals squealing...

I think that was my biggest disappointment of this whole series. Having determined competitors is one of the biggest problems in reality TV, be it Survivor, TAR or this. So many wannabee actors and models or fun-seekers. Here you had a team determined enough to carry 1 member and a canoe for a mile then carry her to the end and have her endure on crutches and you DQ them even if they finished ahead of 2 teams. THE NEXT EPISODE offered all teams a decision to continue with 2 racers. WHY NOT KEEP that team at 2? Give them a 3 hour penalty at the swamp to be fair, but keep them! No, bring the Brownies back instead. STUPID, STUPID!

I think your memory of the show is significantly flawed -- there's plenty of things to bash the producers about, but their handling of the Grad Students team's injury really isn't one of them. The Grad Student girls weren't "disqualified" by the producers -- before it was time for the Episode 3 leg to begin, they decided to quit. Their decision to quit resulted in the Browns -- the team "eliminated" at the end of Episode 2 -- coming back for Episode 3. And the "leave one member behind" option only came at the end of Episode 4 (after Episode 3's leg ended with the Hanlons being eliminated on a Boston Harbor island), not in Episode 3. But even if things had played out as you incorrectly remember, what would you have proposed the producers do, tell the girls that they might want to reconsider their decision because halfway through the next leg all the teams were going to have the surprise chance to dump a team member? Sharing secret information about the upcoming game would be fair? Plus, if I remember right, when they quit, the other two uninjured girls even commented that they had no interest in continuing in the competition if they couldn't compete all together.

LAST EDITED ON 08-22-06 AT 05:59 PM (EST)LAST EDITED ON 08-22-06 AT 05:49 PM (EST) Sorry, you're right but it wasn't only my memory that was flawed. In Canada we saw episode #4 before #3 and that partly confused me. Talk about a screw-up! They wouldn't have had to tell them before hand, just that they could go on as a team of 2 but a penalty would happen at one point on the course. I am making an assumption in that they quit because they weren't offered to go ahead at 2. Not offering it is equivalent in result if not in law as disqualifying them: When they saw their friend couldn't continue and didn't want to make her feel worse, they said they didn't want to go on. Nothing happened in leg #3 that a team of 2 would have been advantaged, only 1 less person to figure out the clues. Leg #4 would have advantaged a team of 2 thus the need for a penalty that could have been MotoroLaird on the spot not beforehand. Edited to clarify: I wasn't saying the producers treatment did something bad, rather they didn't do anything positive. As long as it was fair to the others and since the Grads did come ahead of two teams, it would have been a good move to keep them (just as a football team can play with 10 men on the field if they want!) It wasn't any more by the rules to bring back the Browns.

Aside from TAR I don't really watch RTV shows, but I have seen some of the other end shows with interviews. and this was the worse ever.The players should have been coached on what to talk about, and the host needed to keep his mouth shut more and let them talk more about thier experences. I liked the idea of the extra treasure hunt, but even it was poorly presented. Like the latest TARs an extra short contest for the two runner up teams would nice. And YES! Telling people it was for THREE MILLION in Gold from the start would have been a big plus.

Did I miss something during the finale? I thought the person who won the $200,000 in the Internet game was supposed to be on as well.
