Next Monday (June 26th), they are reairing highlights of the first episode at 8 p.m. Then the new episode comes on at 9 p.m. (It is taking a week off because hockey is tonight)

I am already obsessed with the show too!

It is like a cross between "The Amazing Race" and the "DaVinci Code". I love all of the clues and secret codes.

Yeah! Thanks. So will the new time be on Mondays from now on? I love Survivor, Amazing Race, and the Apprentice.. and have nothing to watch now. This seems like something I'll like.

my friend Sam is on the "genious" team. i dont know the other two on the team, but Sam is the least annoying one (the big guy). i knew they wouldnt get eliminated because i have seen previews of them in future episodes, but i was still about to have a heart attack for them screwing up.

and, they shouldnt have helped the hillbillies with the code until they got theirs opened first. they must have went deep down in texas for find those guys.

I should go on this show because I so figured out the Mt. Rushmore thing before any of them on the show did.

The Hillbillies are my favorites, I hope at some point in the competition that they are rewarded for their meticulous searching to find anything and everything that might be a clue. It kind of slows them down though. I was cracking up when they were crawling all under those rocks and picking up branches and stuff.

The Fogel family are my least fave, the blonde daughter is so whiny and the dad is the devil in preacher's clothing! He totally stole the clue during the dive from that one chick.

I think the Air Force team has a good chance of winning the whole thing.

My favorite team is team big boobs, Errrrrr the Graduates and team mullet.

I hate team Miss USA

I hate team Southie (gay ass bostonian douchebags)

I hope team Mullet wins. They were nice and funny. SIlly team Mullet

As soon that I saw the Grad Students were from San Diego I said to my mom, "Those are State girls." She asked, "Why? Because they have big boobs?" I replied, "Yup!" I checked their bios and I was right!

I knew Bobby would love them!

I watched the show online yesterday. I have to say, that I am really going to enjoy this show. And like several other people on there, the Wild Hanlons (aka-the Hillbillies) are my favorite team on this show!!

MysticCat · #13 06-23-2006, 03:10 PM

I was hoping to like the show better than I did. It seeks to be okay summer entertainment -- I'll keep watching it -- but I was hoping for better.

I’m mainly disappointed that The Unnamed Talking Head calls them with Motorola Messages (product placement is really running amok -- Ask.com's "unique" seach functions?) to tell them what to do next, what they’re looking for, etc. I was really hoping for something a little more Da Vinci Codish – you have to figure out the clue to know where to go and what to do/what to look for when you get there, which in turn will lead you somewhere else, and so on. I want them to be told a lot less and have to figure out a lot more.

And I wish that when NBC is doing shows like this, they'd get producers who can do a better job of producing -- filming, editing etc. It feels less like The Amazing Race and more like Fear Factor, Joe Millionaire or Average Joe.

'Course like I said, I'll keep watching.

What did everyone think of this week's episode? I'm slightly confused because the Brown Family got eliminated but they're in the previews for next week's episode. Maybe they'll bring them back as a surprise to the other teams. Hmm. Pretty good so far.

I'm guessing the grad students could no longer compete because of the one girl's injury, so the Browns were invited back in to the game.

Is anybody playing the online game they have? I highly doubt I'll be winning 200,000 dollars, but hey, it's a wonderful way to procrastinate.
