Last night I discovered something that I didn't think I would ever find - A "reality" TV show that is actually worth watching.
"Lost" involves 6 people being flown off in a jet with blacked out windows and dropped somewere with $200 USD, 3 days food and water, and a survival kit. They then split up into 3 teams of 2 (plus a cameraman who has equally little idea where they are), and whoever gets back to London first wins. The prize money is positively stingy by the standards of Survivor (a mere �5,000), but the basic idea seems like great fun to me. I'd love to be a contestant.
They had special diplomatic permission to get these people through customs without knowing what country they were in.
Given that they were dropped off on a Russian island in the White Sea, so remote it was last used as a prison camp, It could well get interesting.
Given that there is no politics, or sucking up to the audience involved it looks as if this could be an excellent program.
