I have been a big fan of The Amazing Race for years. Love it. Look forward to the new season every year. Would give one of my kids to participate in it. Maybe two. So I was looking forward to the new show on ABC called Expedition Impossible. It clearly was a rip off of the Amazing Race, but hopefully that would be a good thing. It wasn't. This is a low rent rip off of Amazing. Instead of teams of tow there are teams of three. Instead of traveling around the world they travel across the country of Morocco. Instead of winning a million dollars they win $150,000 and a new car. Instead of interesting likable teams I found these to be bland. After watching two shows I couldn't care less who wins and took it off my dvr to record list.
Another tv show that takes from the Amazing Race idea is Love in the Wild on NBC on Wednesdays at 10p. This is kind of a mix of Amazing Race and Love Connection. It sounded very hokey but in the end I liked it. They took ten Babes and ten hunky guys and put them on what looks like an island. Without meeting them the ladies pick their partners one by one just like picking kickball teams in grade school. The new teams then go thru a series of challenges (making a raft, finding hidden items...) to see who comes in first. The next day the men then get to chose if they want to stay with their mate or switch to another one. The last two are eliminated. Yes it is hokey but no one gets a rose at the end and it was fun.
