My favorite show is the Amazing Race. Teams (usually of two; next season it's four) travel across the world while competing tasks to win $1 million. For example, here's what Teams had to do last week:
-Leave a church in Cuzco, Peru, and travel by bus to a tailor in Arequipa, Peru.
-Roadblock: One Team member must shine the shoes of five customers on the street using traditional tools. Each shine gets a small gold piece. Give five gold pieces to the local shoe shining guild director.
-Travel by plane to Santiago, Chile and go to the statue of the Virgin Mary.
-Detour (pick one):
-Shop It: Go to a market restaurant and get a recipe. Buy all five ingredients and return them to the chef.
-Schlep It: Go to a book store and carry a total of 180 books by schlep eight blocks to Chile's Library of Congress.
-Go to Neptune's statue at a park to the Pit Stop (which ends the leg).
