Guide: Lost In The USA
Posted
Monday, May 15th, 2001
Synopsis:From
the creators of MTV’s hit series "The Real World" comes
a new reality-based game show that hits the open road. Each week,
four teams will run a grueling 48-hour gauntlet of tests, tasks
and time trials that could take them anywhere in the U.S.A.
Supplied
with RV’s yet deprived of any funds, the teams must rely on cooperation,
creativity and quick thinking to garner points as they race to complete
"scavenger hunt" type missions. Sometimes dangerous, often
embarrassing, these tests capture the flavor of a region—like bungee
jumping off Seattle’s space needle or getting a snapshot of the
team stark naked with inhabitants of a nudist colony.
Via the internet and telephone, viewers will collaborate and conspire
with the players in real time, and at the end of each show, members
of the two teams that were the last to cross the finish line have
a chance to plead their case before one team is voted out. Each
week, the top team collects its prizes (like SUV's or trips around
the world), and a new local team replaces the losers. On every mysterious
leg of this never-ending cross-country trek, adventure is calling.
Mary-Ellis
Bunim, John Murray ("The Real World," "Road Rules")
and Rick de Oliveira serve as executive producers for Artists Television
Group and Bunim-Murray Productions.
