"Eco-Challenge: Fiji Starts Tonight (Monday)"
LAST EDITED ON 05-06-03 AT 08:41 PM (EST)

on the USA channel, 10:00 PST. I saw in my cable-guide that one of the teams consists of reality show stars, including Ethan and Jenna from Survivor.

Parts 2, 3, and 4 are on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Looks interesting. Is anybody going to watch?

*Edited to correct the days of the following episodes.

1. "Of course!"
Oh, of course I'm going to watch. This trekking challenge is Mark Burnett's true love, and it shows.

Our Canadian friends have already seen it, because it aired in Canada two weeks ago.

Sorry to tell you, but Ethan and Jenna's team doesn't finish. Neither do most of the teams, of course.

No wonder they don't finish....they have Tim from MTV's Road Rules 2 as their navigator. Ethan also admitted that he had zero navigating skills.

Overall, the show was pretty good, though. MB threw some interesting, yet not drastic plot-twists into the game.

I love the Eco-Challenge and watched it with DH last night. Was interesting to see Ethan and Jenna. Also saw the actor that played Anikan Skywalker (sp?) with his brother & sister. Didn't realize he was a Canadian (Yay Canucks!). Can't imagine he will last very long. These Eco-Challenges are awesome. I know that I could never attempt one. The winners barely win enough money to cover their costs. They do it for the challenge which is pretty cool.

It's a lot of fun to watch, but I think it's not something I could ever do. For instance, I like my feet intact, non-bloody, non-parasite ridden, flesh-colored rather than gray...

I am trying to get my husband to train for this. He is a "natural athlete" and claims that he excels at everything physical, except for the events that I win. Then it is because something was worng with him or whatever kind of excuse that is handy for him. In any event, I think he would be great at it, but he keeps finding the same excuses as you do . . .I'm going to keep trying though, this would PROVE that his short almost non-exsistant football career wasn't a fluke.

Yeah, David Duchovny could have lent a little calm to this show, making it more high-brow than the likes of Survivor, et al. But he really does stink the joint up. Sounded like he really didn't care, wasn't into it, and was only doing it for the paycheck. Distracting.

I'd prefer someone who sounds interesting even while being a bit toned down and mellow. Maybe a Sam Elliot or a Tommy Lee Jones. Ooo, or Tom Selleck. Keifer would be great, too, Schnookie.

I got the feeling listening to him that he was wondering if Fox would consider bringing X-Files back to the air...

I don't care what you guys think---I love Duchovny! I like his droll style; it reminds me of Anderson Cooper.

I can't believe the Star Wars team is in dead last place! Even behind the supermodels?! Give me a break!

I don't know if you ever saw Eco Challenge Borneo but in that one, the playboy teamed proved they were tougher then most of the guys out there (including a bunch of Rugby players). They were amazingly resilient and never gave up, even when they had every legitamate reason to do so. By coincidence it was problems with the bike equipment in that race as well that caused them to be disqualified due to missing a time cut off (but they still finished the race with all 4 members, just not ranked).

As for Hayden Christianson, I guess he missed his trailer and entourage. Anyone else getting a kind of kick over the evil genius Mark Burnett beating down the future Darth Vader? Bet George Lucas is hoping no one is watching this.

What a great show. You have to admire anyone who enters these races. I remember the Playboy girls from the Borneo race and they definitely have my respect.

I really felt bad for the girls from Brazil. I look forward to the year they can finish the race.

The only thing that bothers me about the Eco-Challenge is that they only focus on certain teams. When the Aussie team came in third I was like "who are they"? I don't remember them being focused on and I would have liked to have gotten to know them. Same with the team that came in 4th.

I'm impressed that Hayden Christiansen went as far as he did, as well as Ethan and the Reality Show team.

BTW Joanie, I do love David Duchovny. Just would have preferred having Keifer Sutherland narrate Eco-Challenge

I thought it was very good. They have definitely stepped up the difficulty level which was necessary after last year's race. I think this was better then New Zealand but my favorites are still Morocco and Borneo.

>The only thing that bothers me about the Eco-Challenge is that they only focus on certain teams. When the Aussie team came in third I was like "who are they"? I don't remember them being focused on and I would have liked to have gotten to know them. Same with the team that came in 4th.

They had always done this to a certain extent but I agree it's been much worse in the last two races. In New Zealand, Earthlink actually joined with another team in the last leg and all 8 got to the finish working together but you would never know this from what was televised. The other team was completely cut out.

There has also been a tendency to focus only on certain members within a team. Can anyone tell me who was the 4th on Hayden's Team Kodak? How about the other 2 members of the winning Kiwi team? I think last night was the first time we saw much of the woman on Ian's team or the guy on Brazil's.

One more pet peeve about last nights show: Has Mark Burnett been watching Global Extremes because the product promotion of the Chevy avalanche was almost as bad as the Toyota 4Runner promos.

You are right about them also focusing on only certain members of certain teams. I kept wondering if the guy on the Brazilian team was the same one from the last race but I doubt it because they really treated him like crap.

Speaking of crap, did they really have to focus so much of that poor sick guy in his boat? Don't remember if he was part of Earthlink team.

The product promotion was also crappy (there's that word again). I kept thinking of the American Idol Coke ditties.

BLECH! I see they have Gabe Cabe from Survivor as one of the check-point peeps. I kept looking for his teddy bear LOL.

Poor girl from the Kiwi team being violently sick like that. I truly cannot imagine what they go through. This show is awesome!

Oh yeah Femme ... Sam Elliott would make a great narator. Would be even better if they showed his face ... he's dreamy .

This shows rocks. To have only ten out of eighty one teams finish is a testament to how hard this race was, and how determined the teams had to be just to finish. MB's style is to focus on the compelling personalities so you are always going to see the Playmates,(hot chicks), and the "reality team" was a nice cross marketing of his Survivor show. I thought it interesting that the two guys from Road Rules got zippo air time vs. the constant focus on his "survivor" members, Jenna and Ethan.

Wow, if the below is right, Jenna wasn't not only the original 4th member, but she also wasn't the first alternate or even the second alternate!
