A vastly under-rated reality show was LOST. It was basically a simplified version of Amazing Race – where teams were dropped off in the middle of a country (Mongolia in this case). They didn’t know even what nation they were in though – they winning team was whoever got back to NYC first. Period. That’s it. They were given a bit of money, some clothes and one cameraman.
It was fantastic – teams basically tried to make their way around the world with having zero resources. I recall one team ended up calling in to the producers to quit after making it to Russia where they stalled out having no money, food or accommodation.
It was brutal and awesome TV.
