Do you like CBS' The Amazing Race because of its whirlwind-trip-around-the-world format? Have you been thinking about checking out ABC's Expedition Impossible because it is another travel-based competition, ala The Amazing Race?
Don't bother.
I had high hopes for Expedition Impossible before it started, but I missed the first couple of episodes because of work. I finally caught a re-run this weekend, and I can firmly tell you it is nothing more than a poorly crafted Amazing Race rip-off.
Actually, that's too kind. It's the Amazing Race, only it's stuck in only one country, and it's minus the amazing vistas and sense of adventure. Oh, and it's chock full of contrived drama. the only problem with this drama is that the people involved in it are clearly pretending, because it is obvious that they are mailing their lousy performances in.
