""No Boundaries" (airing on both TheWB and Global)"
Posted by SurvivorBlows on 03-03-02 at 08:06 PM
OK, Canadians, time to quit your yapping... (why can't I ever be on a reality show... Marsha, Marsha, Marsha...) I caught the premiere of this show on TheWB tonight and I counted no less than FOUR Canadians....and I think at least THREE of those sneaky Canadians already went and formed themselves one of those there "alliance" thingys. (Americans -- watch out for the Canadians eh -- watch out!!! ...damn, and here I thought the Olympics ended last week, little did I know there was still one winter event left.)
Btw, could someone PLEASE tell the producers there are some more states in the United States BEYOND THE OREGON STATE LINE?!?!? (honestly, drive a little further south -- there are SEVERAL DOZEN of them!) I think I counted no less than THREE Oregonians (which is practically Canada anyways, I'll bet no less than two of those "Oregonians" are actually Canadian refugees who snuck across the border for some real bacon and decided to stay.)
Anyways, my money is on the Rhode Island native (sur-prize!) to win it all -- John Hodges looks to have the skillz to go all the way (and now having that waterproof lighter doesn't hurt either!)

I managed to catch the end of the show, as well. What amazed me the most was how someone could manage to simulatneously rip off all 3 of CBS' reality shows at once, with the "reward events," "leader immunity" and "pseudo-nomination method." It was the most worthless piece of television every put out (and I'm even counting Temptation Island) Needless to say, I'll be watching the next episode
"I am slowly going crazy one two three four five six switch"
"And look -- a teenager!"

That reminds me, I forgot to add that look kiddies -- even TEENS can get on this show (no 21 years of age requirement!)Geez, is there ANYONE that they won't take for this show...

You know, I thought it was pretty damn entertaining!Yes, I was thrilled to see Canadians on it (of course I would have been more thrilled if I'd have found out about it sooner and applied!). However, looks like it won't take long for a Canadian to shame himself into medical treatment (bleached blonde ROB!)
I think this could do well with female watchers, there's quite a few good looking guys.
What's the viewership like for the WB in the States? Global is one of (if not THE) biggest stations in Canada.
Well, I'll keep watching (regardless of the totally cheezy fact that the show is called No Boundries... also the slogan for Ford, who is the advertiser of the event. It's like calling Survivor
Aztec.. gag.)

What's the viewership like for the WB in the States?WB has a fairly large market in the Los Angeles area and the new series received a great review in the Ventura/Santa Barbara area newspapers and quite a bit of promo on WB int he week or two prior to the first episode.
The ranking/point procedure for voting for a new leader is more complicated than it needs to be, but other than that, i think it's going to be a great series.
Of course, those annoying "eh?" might require a shoe being thrown at the TV at least once every episode, but we can't have everything, EH?

I didn't mind the show. I loved the scenery. But I couldn't tell half the players apart. So it will take me awhile to realize who is who. But it was an interesting watch.

I agree on telling them apart -- but at least this group of producers seemed to learn a lesson fron the "Boot Camp" mess....notice when it came time for them to wear those red safety helmets for half the show, at least they were smart enough to put each player's name on the front of the helmet!

I enjoyed the show it seemed to be a bit muddled in the first 1/2 hour. But the rope walk with partner was funny .. That kelly chick sure is whiney. Her and her older partner Jill? fell in like 4 times. I know ROB the dyed blonde. I predict he'll last about 4 episodes although looked like he might next a medic from previews. If needing a medic continues to be the kickin' factor he may not last past next week.I can't figure out which but one of the tall guys is a total muscular hottie. Was it Eli? Jesse? Matt? not the short, dark haired one that got a lighter (John?).
Well, I'll continue to tune in.
