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?
