    Just think of all the stolen ideas as a public works program for Hollywood lawyers and stick to the action on-screen, which is quite entertaining.

    An ideal summer entertainment for armchair travelers.

    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.

    This show failed to engage the viewer and left no suspense. All too often the teams seemed to get help from off camera when they were struggling to find the clue / hidden chambers.It would have been better to have less teams and focus on the puzzle solving. IF it does come back it needs revamping and a new host.… Expand

    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 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
