Expedition Impossible:A Holmquist Favorite

If you like the show The Amazing Race, I am pretty sure you would go for this new ABC program. Expedition Impossible is an extreme outdoors competition that takes place in Morocco, Africa. Each team is composed of three people. Each stage of the competition has physical & mental challenges. In past episodes there has been hiking, repelling, swimming, kayaking, sailing, riding Arabian stallions & camels etc.

I like that the problem solving challenges usually incorporate Moroccan culture. It is also neat to see one of the teams compete with a blind teammate! He is pretty awesome to watch.  Our two favorite teams are No Limits & The Gypsies & we are hoping the latter wins all ($50,000 dollars & an Expedition Explorer for each!). Check it out if you can. It airs every Thursday, but for those without cable (such as me) tune in on Friday or Saturday to hulu.com

P.S. Jeff wants to get on next season's show so if you hear they are doing casting let me know!

"The Circus Sets Up"

Dance is mesmerizing.  It's not just the choreography that can take a spectator's breath or provoke goosebumps, but the costumes, makeup, lighting, music & theatrical flair that make a performance captivating. I like the feel of this particular dance for its dream-like quality & antique circus theme.
