HIGHWAY 18

There has not been anything like this on television for golf fans.
It's not NBC guys. It's the Golf Channel.
There is nothing groundbreaking about reality television period.
It's just simply taking something that has been done in movies, etc... & using regular people instead of actors & scripts.
The only thing that you could say was groundbreaking about reality tv is that they save loads of money not having to use high-priced actors & writers.

:snicker: Thank you, TarAsia Fan, I was wavering in my opinion of this show, but your insight has convinced me to do something better with my time. I'll be switching to watching the 5-time Emmy Award winning "The Amazing Race" season 12 reruns on Travel Channel, starting Wednesday. Lifes too short to spend on a TAR "wannabee" such as Hwy 18. There truly is a god, and he has saved us from TV mediocrity. :lol:
Ba-bye :waves:

Since you're in a reality TV forum, you're not going to win with that argument, but I'll say this. Tonight's episode was decent, but it still was not compelling.
Mandoli:
I saw a little bit of one episode and was not impressed. Reading through all of the posts in this thread, it seems kind of corny.
They finally get rid of anyone yet? If not, consider this show a snoozefest.
TARAsia Fan:
Well, the finale was tonight. I caught the last 20 minutes which was sufficient. Brother-sister team Rob & Charlotte were pitted against hot chicks Ashley & Ashleigh. The last challenge was for each team to birdie a par 3. Rob and Ashleigh were able to do it. However, Ashley and Charlotte had to spend a lot of time playing their respective holes over and over again.
It got to the point where both girls got demoralized. Charlotte finally birdied her hole after 8 tries. After 10 tries in the hot Florida sun, Ashley had to be hospitalized with dehydration and could not finish. An ambulance came to take Ashley to the hospital so we got a very anti-climatic finish for a show that limped to the finale.
Rob & Charlotte were given two candy bars and three golf balls as prizes and were instructed to swim back to their hotel some 10 miles away.
The Ashleys never even made it to the finish line, but were thrown out of the hospital because neither of them had insurance.
