If there is one show this summer that I’m eager to watch it’s Expedition Impossible (Thursdays, 9:00 p.m. ET/PT, ABC).
The reality series takes the best elements of Executive Producer Mark Burnett’s other adventure productions, Survivor and Eco Challenge and wraps it up in a big, scary competition through the fabled Kingdom of Morocco.
Each of the winning team members will receive $50,000 along with a new Ford Explorer…if they can make it through all of the 10 challenges that will be sprung on them each week.
Burnett tells us in the video below just how real the threats were during the production, why he was able to get the insurance necessary to take the participants on the road, just what sort of wavers the groups had to sign and why he’s ready to risk life and limb for a genuine thrill.
