Hosted by Dave Salmoni
Run-time: 60 minutes
Genre: Reality Competition
Station: ABC
Synopsis: A reality competition of teams of 3, that race around through tough terrains, while solving problems. Eventually, only one team will cross the finish line and claim victory over everybody else.
It premiered tonight, June 24, and Expedition Impossible is, essentially, The Amazing Race with a few changes. Basically, instead of teams of 2, there are teams of 3. And the clues are a little harder to figure out.
First things first, the team names are atrocious. Why would anybody ever come up with the name "Grandpa's Warriors", seriously? They couldn't think of anything more creative? Guess not. But that doesn't effect the quality of the show; just makes me roll my eyes every time they are on screen.
Though I do like that the clues are harder to figure out and take some sense of intelligence, the over-all quality seems to be lacking and world interest.
None of the teams are instantly likable, but I'm sure they will grow over time. So far, I'm a fan of Fab 3.
The Host isn't very lively and kindof kills the mood of the show. I would've hired somebody else. And if this is given a second season (though doubtful), I would replace him.
Great concept, relatively poor execution.
Ruling: 2/5
Mark Burnett is a rich and powerful man.
What do you think of the show?
