First of all I want to give a congratulations to Hannah Simone for landing the hosting gig on FOX’s new reality show Kicking and Screaming. I just have this feeling that she’s going to nail the role. Second of all I want to talk about the show a little bit. I will give it one shot and that shot is tonight. The show’s got one episode to prove that it’s worth DVRing for the rest of the year. While I’m not a huge fan of survivalist shows copying Survivor, the idea of a Survivor show that combines elements of shows like Naked and Afraid, Fear Factor, and American Gladiators is intriguing. Here’s a full description from the show’s website.
Kicking and Screaming is a new competition series that teams 10 expert survivalists with pampered partners to face the toughest challenges of their lives. From executive producer Matt Kunitz (“Wipeout,” “Fear Factor”), in association with Lionsgate Television, and hosted by Hannah Simone (New Girl), the series drops these unlikely duos into a tropical jungle in Fiji, where they must overcome dangerous animals, raging rivers, hunger and extreme weather. While these no-nonsense survivalists are accustomed to fending for themselves, there’s one thing for which none of their previous expeditions have prepared them: their nature-phobic partners, who think “glamping” is roughing it. To win the competition, and a cash prize of $500,000, the experts will have to drag their partners, Kicking and Screaming, to the finish line.
