Brace yourself for.... the Magic Cape Race!
In a new low for South African television, it turns out that we have an uber-lame local reality series starting tonight on SABC3 at 19:30: The Magic Cape Race.
Yes, you read that stupid title correctly.
You see, instead of letting us jump from the season finale of Survivor: Cook Islands to the highly anticipated first episode of The Amazing Race: All-Stars, the "brainstrust" at the SABC has decided that it's better if we viewers first endure our very own low budget, local Amazing Race knockoff.
Here's the synopsis:
Find the clues, travel in donkey carts, taxis, buses, cars, bicycles - hitchhike - to get to the next destination - don't be last or you'll be disqualified. Join the race set in the picturesque Cape.
There's very little info available on this series other than it features 10 competing families, will run for at least 4 weeks and is heavily sponsored by Toyota, who are using the show to pimp the new Toyota Corolla Verso.
Reading all this, I'm actually feeling a weird compulsion to watch the first trainwreck of an episode tonight.
