I found a GREAT new reality show tonight on ESPN2 - Beg, Borrow or Deal. Two teams of four race from South Beach to Mt. Rushmore. They start with no money, and get a list of HARD sports tasks in order to get food and transport. They can beg also stuff off of strangers, but can do only one task per state.

Neither team could do a 200 yard swim medley in under 4 minutes, were having trouble getting pool managers to cooperate on doing jumps off 10 meter boards, and couldn't talk a TV station into letting them do a sportscast. Finally, one team made it to the swimming hall of fame, for a prize of the use of an SUV for 12 hours.

I'm going to take a look into it. Sounds good.

That sounds very cool. I'm definitely going to have to check that out. I hope it strated erecently and I haven't missed much.

Hey Palp, I was able to catch most of Beg Borrow and Deal last night. Extremely cool show. I'm still a bit confused about the rules, though. For the tasks they perform, is there a certain amount of money they receive or do they have to complete a certain amount to be able to move on to the next state? They seemed a bit vague about this.
