Lots of familiar face. The competitions are sort of boring, obstacle course (very standard one); dunk tank. And the announcer is annoying. Still, it's fun to see the oldies but goodies - Richard Hatch, Susan Hawk, Mike Boogie, Mike the Miz, Kim and Chip, Victoria (TAR), Gervase, some of the Average Joes. Kind of fun to see them in a different environment.

Please do tell more about the show! I'd love to see it, but don't have Bravo!

Charla (from TAR) was amazing in the jaust. Susan Hawk was not. Jonathon of Jonathon and Victoria is still in denial (it's all in the editing). Not much seen of Omarosa. Richard Hatch is still amusing, and still Richard Hatch. I'll try to watch closer and say more, I've been working and watching.

Jousting competition... Team Gervase wins... Now eliminations, Team Miz votes off poor Charla. Bummer. She held tough in jousting. She was really heartbroken. Team Chip lets Kim go! Team Coral, Heidi volunteers to go home. (She gave up in the joust competition) But the three 'castoff's' aren't going home, stay tuned for a surprise.....

Okay, the three castoffs each pick a card with a color. They will play for the team whose color they pick. Charla goes to Red (Team Coral). She's thrilled, they are more fun, and she feels welcome. Kim picks green, she goes back to hubby Chip's team. After sacrificing herself, she gets to go back. Heidi goes to Team Miz. She says "God help me, they are mean and vindictive. Blue Team, F you. Go Charla." LOL, she should have fun! Yikes!

So they continue to compete as a team each week then? No one is eliminated? It sounds as though the people are not with their reality show partner then, just split more into random teams I suppose. Any signs of our Dr. Will? I haven't seen him in a long time!

I thought Will was supposed to be on, but I only saw him in the intro. May be I just missed him, since I was just watching on and off. Kim ended up on her same team. Charla and Heidi swapped teams. But supposedly next week the three bottom teams will have to truly eliminate someone.

Dr. Will is on team Chip. He is very impressed with Chip and his wife. He appreciates how genuine they are and how much they truly care for one another. When Chip's wife got to stay with the team...Dr. Will said it was so nice to see that good things happen to good people. (I just caught the last half hour after Brat Camp was over...but I will probably be tuning in regularly when Brat Camp ends.)

Sounds like Dr. Will was being nice. Perhaps it IS only that BB house that turns people evil! I appreciate you all posting details for me.

Fun show! I am GLAD it was a standard obstacle course and other "typical" games. I've had enough fear factor and gross stuff to last me a LONG, LONG time. This was just fun -- and they stayed true to the original Battle of the Network Stars. Loved the clips they showed -- I remember a LOT of them. Could someone please teach Scarlet from Project Runway how to say Scott Baio's name!!! Too funny! Omarosa wasn't on enough to be annoying, but I wish Jonathon had been knocked off in the joust. He's just as bad as always. He's got Rich's cockiness but without Rich's sense of humor!

This was fun to watch. Seeing the clips at the beginning made me wish they'd do this with today's network stars, but today's TV stars are probably too pampered to participate in something like that. Dr. Will didn't seem to be much different. It was nice what he said about Chip and Kim, but he also acknowledged that if he'd been the captain he would've had the girls crying. He always was self-aware. The other Will was impressive on the obstacle course. I remember how upset he got when he lost a competition on BB, so it was nice to see him do well here. I like the green team, mainly because of Chip & Kim. It was so cool of her to volunteer to leave since there were two of them from the same household. They're definitely the exception to the rule when it comes to reality show winners, as Will pointed out. I loved the ending, because I was glad Charla got a second chance. It will be hard for her to compete in a lot of these things (the dunk tank would've had her in over her head), but she's so determined that you'd just hate to see her go. I think Victoria was MVP for her team. Looks like the honeymoon's over in the next episode. Lots of yelling and screaming.

First question, why did these people not bow down in the presence of the Great Will Kirby? Other than Richard Hatch, the rest of them aren't worthy. Second question, why does he look different? At first I thought he had gained weight but that's not it ............ his face looks funny. Surgery maybe? I certainly hope not. Or does being 30 something do that to you? I HOPE not since he and I are the same age ............ running off to look in the mirror. Third question: Where's Kaysar?

a question for your first question: why would they bow down to either of them? they are no more worthy than any of the rest. what have they done that the rest have not? if you're talking about show winners, Chip and Kim won also.

Crap, I missed this new show too. I've got to stop depending on the TVCH Reality TV Times.

I had this on but missed some parts. I didn't recognize a lot of the participants and a few others I know only by name and/or reputation. But I was glad to see the folks from TAR and some of the former Survivors & BB houseguests. A few of the players were pretty obnoxious though. I was dismayed when I saw the bottom 3 teams had to vote off a member, even if it was a fakeout this episode. So now we'll have manufactured angst and drama. Just have them run the darn obstacle course and I'd be happy, lol. So long as the players take it "seriously", that is. I don't want to watch a bunch of slackers! A couple years ago TRIO (which DirecTV took away from its programming at the beginning of the year and I'm still ticked about that) aired some of the original Battle of the Network Stars and they were fun to watch in a guilty pleasure sort of way - even though I didn't know a lot of those players either. And I do remember (not all that clearly, but still) seeing these specials back when I was a kid. That dates me, I guess, lol. My brother and I always looked forward to the tug-of-war.

Liked the show, though the editing was bizarre at times. Like (in the dunk tank challenge) they showed all three throws (in the first round) for the first three teams but only one throw for the last team??? And the first 2 teams in the obstacle race were shown for the whole race, but then the second 2 teams were only showed for a few seconds... I wish they had more "famous" players than some. And dump Ryan Star. I didn't know several of them, like the green guy with the long last name, the swan, the project runway, etc... Jonathon had a moment where he really could have made some points, and he blew it. He was asked about his Amazing Race stuff. He said he was a passionate person. Instead of hugging Vic and saying how much he loves her (or something) he hugged his other teammates and also said something about lack of sleep on the amazing race...

It was a fun show. Loved seeing Dr. Will and Will again. Chip and Kim are still one of the sweetest couples around. I could do without Coral or Jonathan.

This is a nice addition to the summer schedule. I can't beleive Jonathan and Victoria are on here, but they seem to be pretty good at these games. I hope Charla gets to continue to compete.

The absolute highlight of the first show was Charla's remarkable performance in the joust! That little gal has a never say quit quality about her. I'm glad that she got to stay and will be rooting against Team Miz for trying to give her the boot.
