I watched large portions of it. A few notes:

1. One female contestant? The host couldn't bother to actively recruit in his own state, let alone glance down any random block in his own hometown?

2. Gosh, I wonder what the primary influence on Colby's hosting style could be? Or who... His introduction was fun just from waiting for the entire pool to chorus on 'Who's Colby Donaldson?' (They may have held it back until they got inside.)

3. The elimination format is slightly quirked -- very slightly: it's mostly pasted together from bits of other shows. It sounds like the group/tribal format will be run as far as it can, with no merge or individual Immunity battles on the horizon -- but that may just be what the producers want everyone to think.

Public votes are scary things for the contestants: every alliance is going to be out in the open, and each bullet represents one hit on a membership count. Hopefully this is a mature group. Or at least one holding single-shot voting guns. That can only fire when they're facing the targets. Not a good place for the next RussHell to turn up...

I don't mind having the faceoff element to eliminations: this is a skill challenge more than a social one, and someone picked out as the worst should get a chance to prove everyone wrong. Similarly, if the rest of the field is trying to knock you out because they feel you're too strong, they could learn to regret it -- but the penalty there (beyond the luck factor) is opening up the classic Big Brother pawn position. 'We're going to vote you into the elimination challenge so you can take our real target out.' As if that could ever backfire.

4. The show is going to have a hard time keeping challenges from being extremely repetitive. 'Hit this target using this weapon. Now hit that target using a different weapon. Later on, you'll need to move over to those targets... underwater...' If you're not into marksmanship or can't bring yourself into the mindset, then this isn't going to be your series.

5. The early editing is shaky. Who are these people? We're not going to tell you. Say, anyone need a scenery shot? Local animal? Rotation image of the next weapon to be used? That's much more important! Meeting so few of the sixteen pointed out the elimination participants early and turned the silent into cannon fodder.

On this show, that could wind up being literal.
