    Pretty awful but like a bad car crash I can't stop watching. The premise sounded awesome but it simply just isn't what it should have been. I'll watch next weeks episode and judge from that if i'll keep watching.

    Simply awful. It's like watching a boy scout troop on their first big overnight. Nothing to connect each episode, no reason to get attached to anyone or anything, except the scenery. For that, I'll stick to the Travel Channel. Not thrilling, just ploddingly boring. Yuk!

    This sad attempt at a 'Survivor' ripoff is so obviously manipulated. Each team has the alpha achiever pushing the team mostly by constantly berating them. The worthless dead weight sabotaging the team with their non stop whining and balking at the "dangerous" (not) challenges. The negotiator trying to keep the polar opposite team members from imploding.. I could not relate to these morons,This sad attempt at a 'Survivor' ripoff is so obviously manipulated.

I could not relate to these morons, and that wobble in the Earth rotation is Darwin spinning in his grave at the complete "survival of the fittest" fail. Horrible show.… Expand

    Combination of Mark Burnett's Eco Challenge and The Amazing Race in the outdoors. With 3 teams of 3 strangers problems automatically arise in how to strategically race. Luv the fact that its a new venue and new teams each week. Much better then TNT's The Hero.

    Like other snackable television like this, 72 Hours isn’t afraid of delivering everything you want, including not just a few reality competition tropes--but all of them.

    Sit through TNT’s “The Hero” and 72 Hours and REELZ’s “Race to the Scene” back-to-back, you realize how much the genre lives on the tired bone marrow of “Survivor” and "The Amazing Race."

    The game's the only thing in companion piece 72 Hours, which feels like an amped-up leg of The Amazing Race or a condensed version of Survivor if not its Eco-Challenge predecessor.
