"No Opportunity Wasted " is a new CBC series inspired by the book and personal life philosophy of "The Amazing Race" host Phil Keoghan. In each episode, two challengers, who do not know they have been chosen, will be surprised by Bruce Kirkby and asked to take on Phil Keoghan’s 72-hour NOW challenge. With their schedules cleared and all excuses eliminated, the two challengers, total strangers with a common goal, must work step-by-step to complete a series of time targets that will push them to the extreme and help them complete their challenge.

Sounds interesting   We don't have that here in the States or at least I haven't heard of it.

I think it was on Discovery or something. It was on in the States (a year ago?). Great show.
