TAR: more versions from around the world
David:
OK. I know this is soooooo late, but I just found this thread, and wanted to share something without you.
You posted (LOOOOOOOOOONG AGO) about a Spanish reality called La vuelta al mundo en 80 días, that is "Around the Globe within 80 days" or something like that. I have to say that noone bet for it in Spain, and it became the biggest disappointment to Reality (Road) Programmes Fans. It was supposed to be a kind of Amazing race, but much different. Teams were sent, for example, to Italy for a week. On Tuesday, they had a gymkhana in Venice, on Thursday they completed another one in Firenze and on Saturday, it was held in Rome, for example. Then, in a LIVE show hosted from Madrid, Spain, they connected LOOOOOTS of times with the place they were. That became in a complete disaster, because it slowed things down so much... Then, the team who took the most time overall, was "marled for elimination". Then, after some other tasks, two more teams were also "marked for elimination". Then, PEOPLE HAD TO VOTE! That was AWFUL! So, you could win the "race" just by being nice to people watching you and just win the last week's tasks. That was a complete horrible programme which wanted to be a **** and became the biggest one ever done!!
I also have to say that, if you have any Spanish questions or whatever, you can ask me for translate and I'll be glad to help you.

I was watching the History Channel and found a reality with a similar concept. It's called Historia Extrema (Extreme History). It's a reality in which three teams have to re-create a very important feat in Chile's History. They have to cross the Andes like San Martin's Army. Each day they face a different challenge based on historical events form the battle and tasks to test their survival skills and how would they perform had they taken part in the battle. The three teams are made up of Latin Americans from different countries. It mixes elements of Survivor, TAR and a dash of History. Looks promising.
Here's the link in Spanish:

This couple, laden with enormous backpack, burst into the flea market screaming, "Does anyone know where the...(something, I couldn't make it out) is? We need the (blah blah blah)!" At first I thought they were nuts, but then this guy at one of the stalls produced this envelope that they needed. And THEN we saw the camera crews. I think they may have restaged the handing over of the envelope.
