But dont get me wrong, I LOVE this show now lol, last season was the first time I was able to watch the whole thing through and plan to watch this one as well.

Originally Posted By WorldDisney Hi gottaluv, I read it was simply do to ratings, it just never got to the level of Survivor and it actually cost more to produce (as you can imagine ). BUT, I think the fact it does win the emmys and is considered a top notch show is why its still on. Again, I couldve got this information wrong, but I did remember something about the last season being its last, but since we are seeing a new season, maybe I'm wrong lol. Will look though.

His Dad, Rev Mel, is also well known. The mother/deaf son team was very engaging...

I wonder which one of them was a fan of the show, or how they came to submit a tape to be chosen? I'd look at the TAR site, but it's impossible to watch the background videos with a dial-up connection.

Originally Posted By Autopia Deb Yes, Mike was the room mate in School of Rock. I loved watching the Swiss dudes laughing at the contestants getting the cheese down the hill.

Originally Posted By WorldDisney Wow, great episode and that cheese challenge was a riot!!! It was sooo funny to watch as the Swiss drummers were laughing their butts off!! I rewound that entire sequence maybe 3 times. Thought the first episode was great overall. Most of the teams seem cool so far except the actual couples themselves. They both seem to be the most unstable with how they work together and the other couple is already out. And that bungee jump looked CRAZY!!! I bungee jumped in Thailand a few years ago it was maybe a third of that height and it was scary as hell lol. I cant imagine doing it again off of that damn. And wow, wish I could go back to Switzerland again!! Forgot how pretty it was.
