Expedition Impossible

Who watches it? If you don't you are missing out. The show is kind of like Survivor and Amazing Race mixed together. Teams of 3 are racing around Morocco trying to be the final group to "survive" so to speak. We are talking, jumping off cliffs, kayaking, climbing mountains, riding camels the whole works. The best part and most amazing is that one of the teams of 3 has a member who is BLIND! Yes, completely blind and doing all these tasks!! This past Thursday I was a nervous wreck as I watched Erik (the blind team member) who with the help of his team mates jumped off a 40 foot cliff into a river with some pretty good rapids. Then after they jumped they had to individually get into kayaks and make their way down the river to the check point. Yes, a river that was rocks throughout (did I mention that he is blind) as well as some pretty serious rapids. Even the teams that could see were having trouble and flipping over. I don't know if the show would be as interesting without "No Limits" Erik's team and his amazing strength and courage but they definitely hold my interest from week to week. If you don't watch it give it a try and let me know what you think.

  1. I am so glad you told me to watch the show as it is so GOOD. Also, I just love the picture at the top of your blog of the girls in their yellow dresses with the wind blowing through their hair. Too cute!!
