The US version of the reality show Lost debuted on NBC in September 2001. The series lasted 6 episodes with two full races (each takes up 3 episodes).
The
concept is amazing, but getting past episode 1 is difficult. The
editing is what’s bad as the first episode focuses way too much on two
contestants. Luckily, things get better in the second episode where one
of the two becomes much less annoying.
This
might be one of the toughest (and most dangerous) reality shows ever,
with next to no help from producers. And the 3 camera people per race
(one per team) are truly the stars as every aspect of what we see came
from them. They participated in the race as well, suffering along with
the contestants.
One of
my favorite moments happens 32 minutes into episode 2 when a random guy
they encountered was fascinated by the entire concept of what’s
happening and the fact that people like this even exist in the world.
This copy of the show aired on the sorely missed FOX Reality Channel and features tons of interviews with most of the show’s contestants. Unfortunately, I recorded it on a cheap videotape - and to make it worse, it was recorded on EP speed (the lowest quality speed). The tape didn’t age well at all - the video jumps constantly and is difficult to watch. Normally I’d just get rid of such a poor quality tape, but a few people requested I transfer it anyways. It would be awesome if a streamer ran a better copy of this with up-to-date interviews.
