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."

"The Good and the Bad of Treasure Hu..."
As a TAR fan I can't help comparing the two shows and noting the things I really like in Treasure Hunters, plus a couple of things I dislike:

1) Everyone drives.
Good: Bad and/or dishonest taxi drivers don't kill off good teams.
Bad: We are not given a good idea of the driving times involved. On a long trip leaving early can be counter by another team driving faster.

2) Clues.
Good: People have to think to get to the next stage instead of being told directly where to go.
Bad: Some clues are poorly written, how they find the right place is beyond me sometimes.

3) Computers.
Good: In real life people would use computers anyway.
Bad: Not really the computers, players walking around with ASK.com on thier shirts and they are still lost?

4) Tasks.
Good: Some task are not easy.
Bad: Some tasks are too hard. One thing I noticed TAR starts with easy tasks, weeds out the weak then gets harder. TH is trying to kill it's players. Huummm, maybe that is a good thing.

5: Players.
Good: A wider range of players than we see on most reality TV shows period.
Bad: Some of these players should never have entered or should trained some more after they found out they were on.

Browns, took swinning lessons - needed more.

Browns, heaviest person too big should have choosen a lighter member, notice the other two are over-wieght but don't seem of have the same problem - fat is okay, obese is not.

Harlons, three Joshs stand a chance. The entire present team was outclassed by a single brain from any other team.

Fogal, showed thier hand too early. Whiner member in team.

Genuis, can't handle simple puzzles. Choose a team member who is in poor health. Genuises?

Still, I think TAR has a lot to learn from this show, and likewise this show from TAR.

Any other likes-dislikes in the nature of the show itself?
