The Great Escape - Tv Show
I was pretty excited about this new reality tv show on TNT, but was very disappointed after watching the first episode!
I had the impression the contestants would be locked in these locations and would have to figure out a way to escape. Instead they were locked in these places and had to figure out puzzles set up by the show in order to escape. I could have lived with this if they would have showed more of the locations and given some facts and history of them. The cameras stay zoomed in on the contestants so you only catch a few glimpses of the locations.
After watching the first episode I don't even believe this is an actual "game show", but then again it is called reality tv. The first episode took place in Alcatraz and featured the contestants having to sneak past the guards. If they were seen by the guards they would be captured and escorted back to the start. This took place at night time, with the contestants sneaking around.... illuminated by lights for the cameras. There really is no sneaking around guards when you are spotlighted and have a full camera crew with you, so obviousley it was predetermined who would be caught and when and who wouldn't.
So overall after watching my first and last episode of this show I determined I would be so much happier and smarter for just watching a documentry on the places on The History Channel.
