I saw this in the Jeff and Jordan fan club thread, courtesy of Karen:

Jeff Schroeder: Around the World... for free:
http://www.cbs.com/originals/around_the_world_for_free/


Sorry, mods, for the OT and cross-post, but I wanted everyone to check this out, and thought it might be missed. I watched the first two episodes with Alex, who won TAR 2, and it was FUN!

One more note...If they were bringing back "favs", don't you think they would do it on a summer Jeff is available? He's busy all this summer with his Around The World internet show.

What the hell is an Around the World Internet Show? Don't these people have jobs?

Lexie, Rose posted it upthread a little ways. Jeff is doing an internet show where he travels for 100 days around the world for free.

"Around the World For Free is a fully interactive online reality show. Tune in to Season 2 this summer, when The Amazing Race and Big Brother star Jeff Schroeder attempts to travel around the world in 100 days … with nothing more than a backpack and the help of an online community."

Thanks for the link Naja. I guess that answers my question that he doesn't have a job. Do we even know if Jeff went back to work after last summer?

Around the World For Free sounds very interesting! I wish it was a tv show. (I don't like to watch tv or videos on a computer screen.)

Sorry this is OT, but I don't know where else to ask it - do we know when Jeff's around the world adventure will begin?

OT - Welcome back to all of the posters who have returned for BB!!

Around the World For Free looks like fun. Jeff did a good promo and seems to have the personality that will endear him to strangers from all over the globe. Plus he has mentioned and we have seen his passion for travel. I think it is a perfect match for him. I would tune in for time to time.

I happened to see a flashback clip of Jeff & Jordan in the house last year and she asked him what he wanted to do in his life and he said travel and see the world. How Ironic

What's great about Around the World for Free, is that WE can participate online, by finding Jeff places to stay, or transportation. That is a very unique idea, and I'm surprised that I'm just hearing about it now. It appears that they've already done one season since the winner of TAR2 was the first...... 'contestant' (?)

I'm not sure what the rules are. I wonder if they win anything if they complete the journey in 100 days, and what does the journey consist of? Do they have to visit every continent or something?

I'm going to check the website and try to find out.


(MODS - maybe we need to move some posts to a new thread for Around the World... erm...including mine! - not sure where it would go, since it's an 'internet show'.)

If there is a thread for ATWFF can it be in this forum? That way it'll be easier to access. I have read some articles and seen a few of the clips from the first season since it was announced that Jeff is hosting the 2nd season. It does have a very interesting concept. It is unique for but kinda scary too.

I would think the "Other Reality Shows" thread would be the right place to put ATWFF, and I could start a new thread there for it. BUT I don't have post moving capabilities, so hopefully a moderater will cruise by soon and give us a hand!

As I mentioned in the Big Brother General Discussion thread, this deserves its own thread and it is not a Big Brother show. Plus we want to encourage all our Members to explore all areas of TVCH. There's lots of interesting stuff around here! :-)

HUH? First I heard of this. Jeff?? WHERE??!!! Will Jordan be traveling w/him???

Anyway, glad you gave it it's own thread since I haven't been hitting the BB thread (figured it's too early). I love me some Jeff, so this is excellent news. BTW it says this is Season 2. Has anyone heard or watched this before? Granted my summers tend to be very BB centric, b ut I never even heard of it. I thought that dream house was the first internet based reality show. Wonder what else I'm missing?! lol

shock Love Jeff though! This has great potential to be both amusing and fun to watch (for many reasons hehe).

I love Jeff... but doesn't this sound a bit like Crazy James and his traveling the world with only his bicycle and no money?

So, please help me understand how this show is accessed - I was assuming it would be broadcast on CBS, but no???

Is there a website where we can watch it - and hopefully - help Jeff on his journey?

Sorry to be so technologically challenged, but I AM trying to join this century!!

TNT - the show is produced or at least offered at CBS.com. Internet only. There is a link at the top of the thread and it's the same link that's posted twice on this page. At that link is where each episode will be posted.

You can watch two intro videos that were posted a few days ago there, as well as access last season to see what that was like.

This is what the site says about the show:

About the show

Around the World For Free is a fully interactive online reality show. Tune in to Season 2 this summer, when The Amazing Race and Big Brother star Jeff Schroeder attempts to travel around the world in 100 days … with nothing more than a backpack and the help of an online community. Where he'll go and how he'll get there have yet to be determined, but at least he won't be alone. Fans can follow along on CBS.com every step of the way, offering tips, travel photos and even a helping hand. Sign up now for Around the World For Free updates and we’ll let you know when Jeff hits the road!

Around the World For Free's connection to CBS isn't new. Go back and watch Season 1, when The Amazing Race winner Alex Boylan traveled more than 45,000 miles through 16 countries without a penny in his pocket. Alex returns with fellow co-creator and executive producer, SURVIVOR™: Pearl Islands alumnus Burton Roberts, to produce the upcoming Season 2. Co-creator and Emmy-nominated editor Zsolt Luka will reprise his role as field producer, directing, filming, and editing the series on the fly.

Bonbon - I think crazy James was on his own. This is a show offered at CBS.com. (although they both had/have no money, lol -- but Jeff is going armed with technology and legit sponsor :-)

Lurk, I don't think Jordan or anyone but the cameraman/editor/director will be traveling with him.

Maybe Jeff talked about it on this:
Jeff and Jordan on The Baub Show (an internet radio show) on June 7, 2010 link scroll down a bit for the link to listen to the show.

"In a new media world where everyone’s a critic with a platform and feels unheard if they aren’t pointing out what’s wrong, The Baub Show focuses on what’s right! The Baub Show prides itself on celebrating life, pop culture and positivity!"

I didn't listen to it, but, there may be some BB summer 2010 spoilers in there.

how much do you wanna bet they originally were considering Crazy james but werent comfortable with his partying??

Jeff would be a better choice as he never seemed the type to go wacko drunk.
