In case you missed my post over at the TAR area, I did an interview with Phil Keoghan in which he talked about "No Opportunity Wasted". If you'd like to listen to the interview, go to my Web talk show Web site: http://www.nlexp.com Choose your listening preference and take a listen. Let me know what you think!

The 3 days seems unrealistic-what if you wanted to climb Mt. Everest? The middle was slow. Most of the audience would have turned the dial. But I loved the ending messages on the screen how the men used what they had learned about the experience. Will the 2 person format mean that each week only one will succeed? P.S. Phil is wonderful. From scuba gear to joking on the beach.

I'd like to see this show, have to remember to look for it. Scorpiomoon, I will check out your Phil interview as soon as I can. Sorry this show isn't aired in Canada. Maybe it's scheduled for a later date?

I saw parts of 2 of the episodes last night. A boxer wants to build a boxing ring in Watts. The guy was wasting time turning down sites. Finally Phil had to convince him to return to a place run by the sweet lady whose house was redone on Extreme Makeover, Home Edition because her group had a track record of accomplishing community projects rather than getting a nicer building. The problem is that most of the people are not interesting, even tho they have dreams that are picturesque. Maybe better editing would have helped.

I finally watched this last night (10 p.m. Thursday)-- One woman wanted to put on a burlesque show and the other wanted to be a DJ on Z100. I didn't think the way Z100 just gave her a chance was very realistic. She just showed up and they could have said no, which was more likely in reality, but because she is on this TV show she gets a chance. I found that kind of annoying, it seems to contradict what Phil's philosophy is about "NOW"-- I mean, she did work hard with the tasks Z100 gave her, but it was obvious they were only doing this for the sake of the show. I would have enjoyed it more if they hadn't kept cutting between both stories, why not just do one at a time? Phil looked so tired in both the stories! Does he stay awake for the 72 hours?

I knew I recognized the name of the guy whose dream was to play a pro hockey game. I thought I had gone to school with him and I was right! I did have to look in my high school year book though to see just which "Mike" he was! He was very shy and quiet in school and it was fun to watch him so confident and speaking in public, esp. when he asked his finace to marry him! I didn't make it, but there was a 30 yr reunion for our class over the Thanksgiving weekend. I wonder if our "new star" made it! I actually caught the show on a repeat. I saw a snippet regarding it in our local paper and just happened on the show. Oh yeah, and we DID have a HS hockey team and he was on it. LOL I didn't even remember we had one! It also struck me that it was kind of crummy of our local pro hockey team not to step up and let him play, esp. since he works in some capacity at the arena!!! It seemed ridiculous that he had to travel down south to play with a team that probably has a better record than our team!!! Shame, shame, Rochester Americans (Amerks)!!!!!!

This is actually a great show. The way it is filmed reminds me of Phil's TAR. I watched the scuba divers fear of sharks / building a boat episode.
