When I first saw the commercials promoting this new reality show, I thought there is no way I would enjoy it. The first episode caught my attention and I am hooked. The first episode was in Alaska on a crab fishing boat. The second one was also in Alaska driving 500 miles in a semi-truck on a very small and dangerous highway. I can't wait until the next one.

So they copied Deadliest catch and Ice road truckers? I can't wait to see what they copy next!

copied, yes. But these are your everyday people, not professionals like in the original shows. I guess I'm the only one who likes it.

I apologize, I thought this was a different show. I didn't know it was a reality show.

For those interested, NBC.com has the full episodes on their website.

Very interesting premise. I watched the first episode and was taken in by some of the cool people they got to be on it. It dragged a bit for me when they kept having interviews with the whiny people. I haven't watched any of the other episodes but since they are online, I will check them out.

I semi-watched the first episode.
I was playing a game at the same time, so I missed a bunch, but I saw the Trucking episode.
It was sad the lady couldn't get her trailer unhitched in time.
Chris should've been the one kicked off the show. What an asshole!

I'll keep watching. It's like a smorgasbord of reality shows crammed into one.

Tonight's episode was a little bit disappointing. Panning for gold did not seem to me to be one of the toughest jobs in America
