    An aura of staginess, of manufactured drama and strenuous comedy, surrounds the show and works into its every cranny and nook. As a result, one never feels that the pair are in even as much danger as they're actually in. Yet it is not without charm; indeed, its appeal is in its pretense.

    It’s a breezy show that’s fun without being just silly.

    The challenges are too outsize and the format is too confusing to take full advantage of the gimmick.
