Trivia:
The "Sledging" Detour at Okere Falls in Rotorua, New Zealand in Episode 10 is no longer a tourist activity. It was shut down by New Zealand authorities shortly after the show screened and interest in it increased, because it was deemed not safe enough. It has now reopened and is safe. more

If you want a *real* reality show, The Amazing Race is IT!, 10 August 2003
Author: Flash_hsx

You can skip all the other dopey reality shows that have come along recently, The Amazing Race has GOT to be right up there with the orginal.. Survivor! This show offers adventure (which is the name of the game) fun, excitement and entertainment!

If CBS will give this show some time, it will build a large audience, I'm sure. Watching teams compete at various feats, trials, and tasks is entertainment in itself, add the addition of watching as these teams travel the world jockeying for 1st place is pure enjoyment!!

I think Jerry (Bruckheimer) has a winning combination here!
