Expedition Impossible

kiki:
The worst thing for me is that only one person from each team is presented. For example from the athletes I've only seen Akbar, I have no idea what the other two even look like. Too many teams too many people. I hope it gets better as more teams are eliminated.

You can complain, but the economics of Expedition Impossible probably depend on having 13 initial teams and 10 legs rather than say 10 teams and only 7 telecasts.

I had a add a comment about how these teams didn't think through the directions to get to the Old Bridge in episode two.

A Bridge means they'll be need to get across a body of water (river, lake, creek, or dry bed before they can look for the finish location for the stage.  If you are walking between hills on both sides and you are at the lowest level in the valley headed through the hills, you are bound to reach that point. It just amazed me how some of these teams weren't thinking it through. Maybe they had a fork in the path, and chose the wrong way, but we weren't shown that, we were shown teams that turned around, or climbed up hills without going far enough.

But the fact they were looking for a bridge without thinking about why the bridge would have been there says something, I'm not sure what.

But following a river bed is hardly the easiest way (wet rocks, brush and vegetation) or shortest way (a river that shallow meanders a lot) between two points... Perhaps teams were trying to take that into account?

I am watching but clearly they learned nothing from TAR FAmily Edition or from Treasure Hunters.

The first point of drama is you the audience need to give a crap about the people presented.  To do that it helps to be able to get to know them.  Hell with two people TAR isn't always able to get us a feel for the team.  But three with 13 teams, lord.

Then you have the actual editing of this show.  Well I think TAR should screen this with their emmy selection just to show the world how great there editing really is.

There is no drama either in character interaction or in the presentation of the material.

Treasure Hunters did a better job in both departments.

Now I have like a couple things.  But they are minor.  I have liked most of the tasks, and have liked that there so far has been no artificial bunching during the episode.  And its summer and TV sucks so I will stick with it a few more weeks hopefully once a few more teams have departed we can actually get some sense of the individual players.
