And I like the fact that you need to be SMART to do it.

Okay,
It summer and time for all the Survivor/TAR/RealWorld/Apprentice sucksters to watch something new. Will it be better than the others? Lamer? Was some producer reading all the posts here and taking notes or just following the same paths? Will this be a winner? Or another Unanimous? Will it stay on page one of this section of threads? Or will you have to look it up on page 10 to read a 3 month old thread? I'm betting a hot new show based on previews and contestants? There's eye candy, mactors, alpha males, and nerds aplenty to be sucked at. |

You forgot to mention Amazing Race Sucksters.
This show looks terriffic. Plus it looks like the network spent bucks on it. This will be no cheap knockoff of any other show but a totally new experience for us all. The cinematography looks awesome, the contestants look interesting. I predict that it WILL stay on page one of OSTS. |

I really hope it's good, but we'll see. We don't know anything about the show except it's travel + puzzles. For instance, how are teams eliminated? How do you win?
I'm a little afraid all the puzzles will be too dumb, like the Da Vinci task in Amazing Race this season |

Quote: Sorry Fluffy. I thought everyone knew what TAR meant. Anyway can't wait for this to start. Should be some spoiling out there if its already been filmed. But so far its under the radar. And if it truely sucks instead of rocks, this board will be all over it before the first PBP is completed. Enjoy the channel flipping on Wednesday. |

Great marketing ploy by little Ronnie HOward.
The Movie "Da Vinici Code" will have people all geared for "a quest show" So he chooses this summer to release the new show! Elements of the movie "National Treasure" in there as well. I hope it's good. I hope the Puzzles are tough etc...that's why I liked the mole, it required the contestants to actually think from time to time. |

Ugh, I know you guys want these puzzles tough but, they can go too far with it!
For example, I tried doing the puzzles in this book called A Treasure's Trove where you compete to win jewelry...those were so hard they made my head explode and I never got close to winning. Not that i'm whining about my own shortcomings but... It would be fun to dumb it down to a college graduate level :P Just kidding. But seriously, the puzzles in that book were all solved by mathematics PHD's I think. Just would be nice to have some for the monkeys out there like me, and some head exploders for others. |

Yay, it looks like a interesting bunch. More families then I expected, the promos made it all look like certain types of groups. But 5 of the teams are families.
![]() Young Professionals ![]() Geniuses ![]() Brown Family ![]() Southie Brothers ![]() Miss USA ![]() Ex CIA ![]() Grad Students ![]() Airforce ![]() Fogal Family ![]() The Wild Hanlons I'm either rooting for the Browns or the Hanlons. Hanlons have a 19 year old on the team which is kind of interesting. |

Re: website up | ||

So are the young professionals related in some way to Whatevia?
![]() BITCH, PLEASE! Brown Family--Between the 3 of them they can carry an assload of treasure! Team Miss USA? OMG if Trump makes a cameo shoot me now Ex CIA "If you yield us you will never be seen again, we can make that happen" Grad Students are fucking hot! Makes me want to complete my MBA. The Wild Hanlons!!! YES! My favorite team too! One of the guys looks like Dog the Bounty Hunter and they have a cool teenager who should be properly dramartic too. I'm with ya Louie |

Fogels = Bransens? Will Dad carry the load?
It's going to be tough early on the pick out which team is Miss USA and which team is Grad students. Browns and Nerds will get the early audience underdog vote. I think we won't be seeing a lot of Air Force. They'll either go early or get lost in the editing. But so help me Opie, if there's "DaCode" tie-ins I'm tuning out!! |

Re: website up | ||

Don't the other teams know that THERE is NO such thing as EX-CIA? that's like ex-mafia!

Those pictures all look fairly normal except for the first one.

Re: website up | ||

Didn't a preview say there are two groups starting from different places who don't know about each other?
Can we assume from the locations of these shots that Southie, Miss USA, Ex CIA, and Hanlons start together in some cold area, then Fogals, Air Force, Geniuses, and Grad students start together in some warm area. (With the other two harder to tell) |

Re: website up | ||

ooh good call Glebe. I do remember reading that somewhere about the two different teams.
|

Re: website up | ||

That would be cool Glebe. Start all the teams from different locations. They're all after the same clues at each location and must find and solve all the clues before heading to the treasure from where ever they are. Make the time and distance of travel roughly the same. Random picks of who starts where. No team knows how many other teams are out there.
The filming is done so it's only a matter of editing to create tension and drama for the viewers. |
