Treasure Hunters

This and Survivor are probably my favorites of 'reality' shows (a term created by the press for Survivor S1 but run with by networks). They do not attempt to be anything less than they are: a contest. No, "will s/he be the next big star', "will s/he chose the million or his/her partner", "can this doctor cure their problems in 60 minutes including commercials and hawking his own book?" This is a true example of how a show can, and is, both entertaining and a somewhat educational (even if a ninth grade, at most, level.

As a write this, only part of season 1 has aired, however so far all contest contain a bit of US history. Each piece of history leads to an ultimate clue (UC) that then will combine with the UC from each episode to find a hidden treasure.

Each episode involves one team being slower than the others a reaching the UC last. This results in their elimination from the game.

I most certainly will tune in for a second season should one be approved.
