Treasure Hunters--Reality Show thread
This show is not that good so far. The host sucks so bad and only a few teams are interesting. I'll watch it for two more shows, if it doesn't improve, I'm cutting it off. Discuss...

1. I watched a bit of it last night.
I can take it or leave it. It's a lot like Amazing Race except it has more teams. The host is goofy.

:hi:

2. Totally disappointing
I thought the premise was good. I was looking forward to it.

I still think the idea behind it is viable but the editing makes it unwatchable. Way too repetitive with the video messages. I did laugh at the mullets searching through the garbage. :)

I liked the idea of having two possible answers for the Mt Rushmore clue. I hope they do more of that. But I'm not sure I can watch any more of it. But, like you, I may give it one more shot.

3. I'll give it another try.
It reminded me of Amazing Race in the US - that family edition.

4. Okay, I watched it again and it was much better
---SPOILER ALERT---


I guess since all the repetitive instructions on the phone weren't added, it was better. I have to give it to the grad students, they have more heart than any other team I've ever seen on a reality show. They carried the injured girl a a long way when other teams would have just quit. Good for them. HOWEVER, after being eliminated how is the Brown family in the previews for the next episode. If they cut the grad students for them I'm going to be pissed. I feel they should have been cut any way becasue one of the family members had to be rescued from the ocean both times. It doesn't seem fair that they get help when others completed the task on their own. I understand that not everybody can swim but that is part of this game so far. Finally, the Fogel (minister) is going to Hell, they were helped by one of the Southie guys and the Fogels screwed them. As a Christian this upsets me because they are on TV and thats the impression people are going to have of Christians as hypocrites. Shame on them.

5. I liked it better, too
I have to laugh at the Texas boys. They left to find food?! They don't seem to be the sharpest tools in the shed but I find them entertaining.

I wondered about the Brown family in the previews, as well. I can't figure out what that's all about.

And the Fogel family! What a totally uncharitable thing they did. Not nice.

6. It seems to be getting better now,
I still can't stand the Fogals and hope they are eliminated soon. I kind of hate to see the Wild Hanlons gone, thye were entertaining at least.
