For Release: April 22, 2004
TBS Heads Down Under for Wild New Reality Comedy Series OUTBACK JACK, Premiering in June.

Pampered City Women Give Up Heels and Handbags To Compete for Rugged Hero
in Series from Nash Entertainment (Meet My Folks)

Twelve beautiful, high maintenance women are in for the shock of their lives when they find out they must brave the brutally rugged Australian wilderness in order to win the man of their dreams in TBS's wild new reality comedy series OUTBACK JACK, from Bruce Nash's Nash Entertainment (Meet My Folks, For Love or Money, Who Wants To Marry My Dad?). The series, hosted by JD Roberto (Shop Til You Drop, Shark Chasers), is set to premiere Tuesdays in primetime, starting June 22.
As OUTBACK JACK opens, 12 beautiful, sophisticated and pampered city women board a plane that will take them to meet the man of their dreams. Little do they realize, however, that the only way to reach him is by taking a leap of faith, parachuting into the middle of Australia's expansive Outback wilderness.
Their hopes are dashed further when they land and see he's not living a life of luxury, but roughing it in one of the world's most unforgiving terrains. Over the course of eight episodes, the women will have to decide if they can give up their make-up, designer shoes and all the comforts of home in order to win the affection of their handsome hero.


"OUTBACK JACK is a hilarious and engaging reality series that will really appeal to our targeted young-adult audience and complement our other high-profile programming, including the recently acquired blockbuster comedy Sex and the City," said Steve Koonin, executive vice president and chief operating officer of TBS and TNT. "And we're thrilled to have Bruce Nash on board for this project, lending his incredible talent at taking popular reality formulas to exciting new levels."

"We are thrilled to be working with TBS as we explore new directions to take reality programming," said Nash. "We have been casting for this series since early this year to find the perfect hero of the Outback, as well as 12 very pampered women to vie for his affections. The fish-out-of-water comedy elements combined with romance and adventure are going to make for plenty of unexpected twists and turns. It is going to be quite a ride for both the women competing and the viewers watching."

At only 28 years of age, OUTBACK JACK leading man Vadim Dale has already accomplished an amazing collection of feats. The East Melbourne native has earned numerous titles and medals in swimming, judo, karate, grappling, football and horseback riding. An accomplished mountain climber, he climbed 7,000 meters to the Mount Thurong peak. In addition, he is a tri-athlete, an avid trail bike racer, white water rafter and skydiver.

Not bad. Maybe a bit on the young side for me. I'll have to hear him talk first, that's the key ingredient....

It's sorta like 'Paris Hilton Meets Colby's Aussie Cousin'.
