I work in TV and have to say I'm impressed, these shows really do take
things to another level and are fantastically filmed. It truly is
gripping stuff and RB is the host with the most actually taking part
in the very dangerous tasks.

This is one heck of an expensive show with gripping stunts, lets hope
its well received as it deserve to be.....

Come on UK put it on ASAP, or do we have issues with advertising in
programme!

I thought I'd review the first episode as its fairly topical!

This contains spoilers so dont read further if you dont want to know!









last chance!







Well its am american production so all the contestants are from the US..

The prize is SRB job..and a $1,000,000 yearly salary for doing it

The show started with 16 contestants but two were eliminated almost straight away as SRB was disguised as their taxi driver and used first impressions!

The show is great a little yiha for my tastes but still intestesting

The next stunt was to transfer seven contestants from hot airbaloon A to Baloon B at 10,000 ft (over a 3" wide pole!!)

the contestents that didnt make it had to climb 150ft up the baloon to join SRB on top for a tea party (this is a world record as no tea parties have been held on top of a baloon at 10,000 ft)

Next they got to fly (UCS of course) to HK to spend $500 to enhance the UCS service.

The loosers had a head to head again this time strapped to a bi-plane wing transfering a baton!!

The show is a very good publicity engine for SRB and the stunts are amazing.

I'd advise those with Broadband to take a look if you cant see the show live!

Jonathan,

Yes please post the torrents, I have now watched all three episodes and they are Great. SRB does an excellent job of manipulating the contestants into specific tasks which give him a good insight to their characters.

currently my money would be on Gabe.

I'm going to have to be a bit of a killjoy here and ask we don't post torrent links in this forum.

SRB is one of the Exec Producers of the show, and chances are he's involved in the negotiations of rights to sell the show in other areas of the world. If we encourage the distribution of bootlegs, we'll be undermining that position, (not to mention the issues of copyright).
