I did a search. Nothing. I hope I'm not stepping on anyone's toes.

Oh well.

Is anybody else watching this?

Normally, I don't watch reality shows as they have no substance.

This one is more of the same, but the stunts these guys have to do are pretty amazing.

I've only seen two episodes. The one with the airplanes with them passing the baton and tonight's episode with the waterfall.

I like Richard Branson. This guy has a huge media empire, lots of money and here he is strapping himself in and participating in all the stunts. The stuff between the contestants is on par with every other reality show, but the stunts and the fact that the host is putting his ass out there with the rest of them sets it apart.

I just thought this needed a thread of it's own and let it go at that.

i watched the first episode you watched and the previous one, which had a pretty amazing stunt involving walking on a beam connecting two hot air balloons, but i skipped tonight\'s episode. i just didn\'t get hooked after the first two episodes. didn\'t care for the contestants i guess.

I don't care for the contestants either, I just watch it for the action.

I piddle around watching another show and then jump back to catch the stunt of the week.

I just thought it was interesting that the guy the show revolves around is out there with the humpdinks doing all the "dangerous" stuff. I thought that was unusual.

So, last night's task was to throw a concert (gross oversimplification). Losing team captain, female, choses teammate, male, for the "final" throwdown. Richard tells them one has to streak in front of the concert crowd and one has to sing. Goal is to see if one chickens out. Neither do. Girl streaks!!! and is cheered. Guy sings "Oops I did it again" and the crowd throws stuff.

There's gotta be footage/pics "not blocked out for tv" of the girl. She was cute. Finding that might be a fun project for someone on the TFP.

I like Branson. The show drags a bit, though, until the end. Maybe they need to start stripping earlier.

Thanks for listening.

Never watched it. Is is good? I am so hooked on the others like The Apprentice,Wife Swap,Trading Spouses,Biggest Loser and now the new Gilligans Island. I can't afford to watch another one.

I haven't watched last night's yet, but I did watch two of the previous episodes. I like it mainly because he's like the anti-Trump - he seems to be a nice guy and is actually somewhat interested in doing something that changes the world for the better, and he's also not a wuss.

I love it when a plan comes together. Nice work!

Thanks for listening.

Best part is the chick that got naked on stage in front of 100k people (and now in front of millions on the internet). Got booted from the show the same day she got naked.

I watched last night, can't remember the guys name that kicked out but it was not a memorable show. The stunts are insane but they are only the last 10 minutes of the show, the first 50 are a bore. The point of the main challenge last night was to get as much publicity for a mock company as possible. The guys thought up a Jewish vs. "Arab" soccer game. With a superstar as a ref. They couldn't find a superstar, they only had half of the jewish team show up and it was pouring rain. Zero, publicity, not one person came out to take a picture. At least biggest loser was on at the same time, I could go between those two shows
