About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want fast, competitive travel adventures with shifting alliances, stress, and big personalities, similar to Survivor or The Challenge; Not for you if constant arguing, occasional dull stretches, or loud background music would ruin it.
Pros: exciting globe-trotting; varied tough challenges; easy to root for | Cons: frequent bickering; uneven seasons; loud music complaints
