This one looks like fun - TAR meets National Treasure. It has a special 2-hour premiere on June 18 at 8 PM before settling in on Mondays at 9 PM.

Our site has a summary of the show, and the official Web site is ready for traffic. The teams are already nicknamed for your convenience - like "Team Air Force" and "Team Southie Boys". Lots of cheesecake here - three tiara wearers, three that must've just missed, and three other hotties. No Fran & Barrys in this bunch.

But this show isn't like that other show at all. Instead of 11 teams of 2 bound by love, friendship, or blood (or 10 teams of 4 family members), they have 10 teams of three bound by friendship or blood (no dating couples here). And instead of a race around the world for $1 million, it's a race with travel to historically significant locations for a grand prize of untold riches (probably Friends DVDs).

Both have cryptic clues, physical & mental challenges, and periodic eliminations, but don't all good reality shows have those elements? Don't answer that, WRP lawyers.

Anyway, I'm about to give this show the kiss of death by declaring that I'm going to be following this show. And I'll even sign up for any/all episode summaries.

Watch this thread for future updates.
