    Boring, boring, boring. Production was terrible and the host was terrible. The teams were cliches and not fun to watch at all. Please do not bring this travesty back. Did I mention how boring it was?

    Sincerely the worst reality television show that I have ever attempted to watch. The crew at the Amazing Race must have been laughing their heads off.

    This show was... how should i say it.. STUPID!!! and I like reality tv shows!!! This is no Amazing Race. (Which is the best Reality/Adventure show on TV.) This show was so over produced and corny and stale with the fake video cell phone messages to the cast. And dont let me forget the way over acted and produced first meeting of the the two sets of five teams at the end of the first This show was... how should i say it..

This show was so over produced and corny and stale with the fake video cell phone messages to the cast. And dont let me forget the way over acted and produced first meeting of the the two sets of five teams at the end of the first hour... how stupid looking were the casts facial expresssions... (oh who are you guys?... oh no! it's another set of teams.. this wont be easy now!.. (man that was stupid). I can just see the produces say ok you five teams run around this corner and then you five teams run around this corner and be surprised when you meet the other five teams. I Hope this show can show a little bit of imrovement in the comming weeks. I have more to say but I am done for now.… Expand

    Admittedly I'm not a fan of reality shows and I only saw part of an episode of The Amazing Race, but the only person I know who watches this was a contestant on The Amazing Race last season. When I watched it it was on the TV in the local bar where he works and it wasn't diverting enough to anyone present. A boring, uninteresting rip-off of a show that wasn't worth watching Admittedly I'm not a fan of reality shows and I only saw part of an episode of The Amazing Race, but the only person I know who watches this was a contestant on The Amazing Race last season.

    Weak...No, weaker than weak. This show is awful. Whoever gave this thing 10's...obviously has a financial stake in it's success. Don't waste your time...ESPECIALLY if you're an amazing race fan.

    The Amazing Race this is not... and that's a bad thing! A pointless show filled with every sterotypical genre you could ask for. The dumb blondes, the religious right, the rednecks, the nerds, and so-on. A Simply pathetic show. Thanks for wasting 2 hours of my life that I'll never get back.

    A big ripoff of "The Amazing Race", Treasure Hunters does not have any suspense and all of the people are not interesting. The host has a monotone voice that sounds like a robot. I wouldn't be surprised if this show gets cancelled soon.

    The problem with "Treasure Hunters" is the same problem with "Amazing Race": It just feels like all the competing teams are spinning their wheels by solving clues.

    It's just an Amazing Race knockoff. [16 Jun 2006, p.72]

    It is obvious in just the first few minutes who the real winners are -- members of the NBC sales department. Collectively, they have taken product placement to new and annoying heights.
