Discovery Channel Reality Show

worst.prize.ever

unless I heard it wrong I woudn't even care much about that prize. I prob did hear it wrong though, I was asking my dad how to do something. :-P

I think its is obvious who you guys didn't like though

good job petie

Peter, congrats! Bambi, send Crystal my virtual best. You guys were great. It looks like everyone had a blast. I'm guessing that the team that everyone didn't get along too well with was probably the stockbroker and physics teacher from Texas. As a financial analyst, I know our kind aren't always the most modest to hang around with.

Still, you guys played well and it showed. For starters, you beat out a lot of people to get on the show (yep, I saw that Robb and Elyssa were there in the tryout video section -- I'm shocked that they didn't get on because those two really play off well with the cameras). And I bet you guys would have placed much higher if it wasn't for having to go first on the Dive Devil skycoaster stunt. That was one where you could probably learn by watching the mistake of others as to when to release the water balloons.

And, was it just me or were you guys actually in 4th place (350 vs. 345) after the third event? Yet they still listed (and noted) it as 5th place?

Still, it looks like it was a whole lot of fun and Magic Mountain looked great too.

Onward!

Hey great job Peter! I especially enjoyed the shots of you on X! Pretty hilarious! So everyones waiting... What team did you guys hate???

That show would have been a piece of cake, now I know why they didn't pick us.

SUPERMAN ULTIMATE FLIGHT: BACK ROW! OH THE G's!

All the teams came off different on TV...it was orange...they just annoyed me...I am sure they are good people but GAH...even my Mom hated them

it was odd for Dive Devil we were not the first to go on...they edited it ALOT!!!

They show was harder than it looks LOL I SWEAR...

yeah and what was with them putting us in 5th when we were in 4th???

I dunno we still ended up in last anyways LOL

the parts they didnt show

Baby Stroller Race-we came in second
Rock Wall-I sucked at this LOL...4th place

I agree with my brother on this one. Anyways, our audition tape was in the opening, my brother was saying "we're double the trouble!" Those 2 girls dominated

Riding the Bull anywhere but the back is merely going for a walk.

Yep, the editing could have been better. If the Texans were really being jerks they should have aired some of that -- it would have made for much better television to give folks someone to root against. And what was the deal with letting them get away with cupping the ball against the body so it wouldn't fall out of the glass? That should have been it right there.

As for the baby stroller race I can see why they would take that out. The last thing the park would need is folks to start acting that out on a crowded day. It's bad enough with all of the bruised backs of ankles one has to put up with to enjoy the theme parks down here in Florida, but, man, that could have really sent the wrong message.

I can't imagine why they would edit out the rock wall unless they figured that rock walls were a dime a dozen and it was better to stick to highlighting the park's attractions.

Still, it was a cool concept for a show. Congrats again.

the only reason they took those challenges out was b/c American TV has ALOT more commericals than international...so those scenes will be in the other version of the show!

and to those who set up a forum saying how they hated the show :( *cries* LOL I am so hyper...I was on the show too (did it show?)

Petie,

where is this trip report you talked about?

------------------

Yeah, I was wondering about that too. It didn't seem to me that they set down any solid rules for that event. I also think that the girl that managed to keep the ball through the entire ride had been holding the cup very tightly, locking the ball in the bottom of the cup. I do have to give them credit for the ball toss on Superman, that had that down.

The show was fun to watch, but there were no real rules, and no explaination of the point system, like how many points were the contestants actually getting for flips on the turbo bungie? They also could have found someone to host the show that was not a total dork.

Hey, I didn't even read this thread until after I watched the show. Bottom line, you guys looked like you had a lot of fun and you had an all expenses paid trip out to California. Congratulations!

I was rooting for you guys even before I knew you were Buzzers. My wife and I kept yelling, "Go Ohio" but we were not the lucky charms. I think you got off lucky by not making it to the last challenge. I could have done everything up to the point of eating the raw seafood. At that point I would have just bowed out.

Really, very cool. I hope you had as much fun as it appeared that you did. Did you get to ride Goliath anyway?

Petie, I thought the show was alright. Not the best reality show out there, but watchable. Congratulations again on being picked.

I would have puked on Spin Out, failed miserably on the trampoline flip thing, fallen off the rock wall and came in last in ANY sort of footrace with a stroller. The eating challenge on Goliath, however, I could have cleaned up there!

------------------
SCREAM with me... in 2003!

Before we rode on X they told us that if we used any part of our body to keep the ball...it wouldnt count...yeah
There was squeezing but that was allowed as long as you didnt break the cup (they only had two cups)

wahoo skipper-
we had a blast-free trip hehe
yes we did ride Superman and Goliath
It took forever to get on Goliath...did anyone notice that when they ate the first couse (seafood) that it was sunny and by the time they got on the coaster it was NIGHT??? There was a few hour gap there...they had to attach lights to the Goliath train.
So we (red and yellow) sat in the Goliath plaza and going in and out of the Food ETC eating way too much pizza. Well we (red and yellow) went back to the hotel for 30 min...avoiding child labors laws (dont ask I dont even know)

Petie, even though you didn't win on the show, you still got game! Crystal is fine! :)

I've always wondered what it was like to be on a reality show - Survivor is my favorite! This show was really good in my opinion, though it did seem sort of "rigged" to me at first with the 2 "sexy college coeds" winning. They were in dead last when you guys were eliminated - before that one girl MYSTERIOUSLY kept the ball in the cup all the way through X!

Anyways, good job on making it and representin' C-Buzz. Interesting show. :)

EDIT: That host was SO annoying!
