It’s not craptastic - just crap. One of those reality shows where the first 2 minutes back from commercial are spent regurgitating the last 5 minutes from the previous break.
The only interesting thing about the show was seeing how bad TO and his partner came off. Maybe it gets better once I can recognize people and what team they are on. And BTW how hard was it to give the teams shirts to match their team color? The guy on the purple team had a blue shirt on! Another team had this problem too.
Atlantis looks beautiful though.
Did anyone watch? Would anyone watch again?
Guess no one watched.
Well bump anyway to say that according to trailers, TO and his beeyotch of a partner are back. And it sounds like she is still pissed that she’s not getting carried by TO.
What’s the lesson here? What kind fo person it must take to make TO look good? or Even on a team of 2 TO can’t help but demolish relations.
I watched for a few minutes. This was a show in my youth that was fantastic. On the campus of Pepperdine University, nothing real fancy, no trash talking. Just fierce competition. This thing with pairing “stars” up with the athletes to garner rating is BS.
Bring back the old Superstars!

The thing I noticed most was that it wasn’t in HD?!? I was on the HD version of ABC on Dish, and the next show was in HD, but Superstars was in 4:3 for some reason. Very strange.
While I thought the supermodel may have gone a little overboard at times with the TO hate (I’m not sure how well we should expect a wide receiver to be at kayaking), I don’t think she’s expecting TO to carry her–I thought she was holding up pretty well, she’s just expecting more than he’s displaying.
I remember the Superstars from the early 1970s. Those shows were filmed in Key Biscayne Florida.
One name I remember doing well was from an obscure sport. Wayne Grimditch, water skier.
I only saw the last 20 minutes of the show the other night. hilarious that T.O. got his foot caught in the net. That net is a heckuva an equalizer. And I saw Jennifer Cpariati get a face full of sand.
I know they kayaked, but what other challenges were there?
Believe it or not, in a hour and a half show, there were only two full competitions, plus the obstacle course for the losing teams. It started with a combined bike/run race, where the pairs had one bike between them–so the person on the bike would get out ahead, then drop the bike and start running, then the original runner would hop on the bike when they get to it.
Jennifer Capriati made perhaps the silliest decision of the show–she and he partner had agreed where to drop the bike, but she couldn’t find it at the drop off point, so she decided to just keep running instead of spending a minute looking for it.
