Well, this show was kind of a dud, right? Much as I enjoy shows that push people to their physical limits and basically torture them while getting to see some exotic locales (ie, The Challenge and The Amazing Race) this season was almost entirely dominated by one team, which has been no fun at all.
So it is really the Gypsies' (their choice of name, don't yell at me for being un-PC) game to lose, as they've won almost every single leg of this race. Unless they fall down and break a leg (which hasn't actually stopped No Limits) they'll probably cross the finish line first, and everyone else will bitch about it in a totally nice sort of way. Because this show is nothing if not nice.
If it ever comes back, can we get some more drama? Or a way to equalize the teams? At least once in awhile? Something? Anything? Bueller?
The finale airs tonight at 9 PM on ABC, while CBS is double-evicting people over on Big Brother.

I don't think this show is a dud. Yes, it could be better, and hopefully if it gets a second season, some improvements will be made, but I've enjoyed it for the summer filler that it is. Heck, even Amazing Race wasn't perfect the first time around.
It got better with fewer people, time spent on interpersonal dynamics (when the Fab 3 and Footballers teamed up), and you had a true person to root for (Ike). Also, all the terrain seemed the same after a while. What makes AR great is the team dynamics, the variety of locales, and the drama of getting from place to place. Watching a few dozen teams walk for miles in the sand is not interesting at all.
This weblog is wonderful. There’s continually all the suitable details in the recommendations of my fingers. Thanks and maintain up the excellent work!
I think that everything composed was actually very logical. But, what about this? suppose you added a little information? I am not saying your content is not solid, but what if you added a title that makes people desire more? I mean Thursday, August 25, 2011: Expedition Impossible - Going Through Channels Blog - TV Shows & Daily Picks | TWoP is kinda boring. You might look at Yahoo's home page and note how they create article titles to grab viewers to click. You might add a video or a related pic or two to grab people interested about what you've got to say. Just my opinion, it would bring your posts a little bit more interesting.
