Are people aware of this?

It's like an MTV travel show where Cameron Diaz and her celeb buddies go to Costa Rica/Yellowstone/Wherever and rough it. At first glance it's either going to be impossible to turn off in the same way Newlyweds or Amazing Race is, or it'll be the latest sign that the apocalypse is upon us. Don't want to love it but… can't… look… away…

I saw the episode in which they go to Nepal--painfully dumb, IMO. I had no problem turning it off.

I've been watching it (saw the first three episodes). I would call it more of an environmentalist type of show though, rather than a travel show. I enjoy it.

I didn't see it and have no clue, but reading BoysTravel's description: can you picture Cameron Diaz "roughing it"?

E...like how could you not, well, like enjoy a show about like the environment and like animals and things?

You'd be surprised. I saw Cameron splash around with elephants and their snot/bodily wastes, as well as other less-glamorous activities. Maybe you have to like Cameran Diaz (I do) or actually care about what happens to our planet (environmentally).

CAring about our planet (I do) and wanting to watch Cameron Diaz play in the mud with elephants don't neccessarily go together

I prefer the PBS specials when they use stars like Julia Roberts who lived in the wild with Orangutans for a month. If anyone missed this- keep an eye out for a re-run, it was so good!

Simple solution, just turn the tv off.

Scarlett, you hit it right on the head! Maybe it's a generational thing. I couldn't stand all the solemn, knuckleheaded "we all are one" cliches all the travelers started spouting after close encounters with poverty, animals, and anything vaguely "ceremonial" or "native". The environmentalist messages are so general that I can't believe they're enlightening anyone--as in, "Hey, kids, animals are cool!"

I read an interview with Cameron Diaz about this show..she talked about filming and who was on it.
" They roughed it, no one wore make-up"..

Wow. That's commitment.
