great american road trip

Short notice, but the episode "The Heartland" of NBC's televison competitive reality series Great American Road Trip is on tonight! Cutting and pasting some blurbs below:

ADVENTURE AND COMPETITION PREVAIL AS SIX REMAINING FAMILIES DEPART MISSOURI AND HEAD INTO KANSAS, OKLAHOMA AND TEXAS - The families leave Missouri and head out into the prairies of Kansas and Oklahoma to see buffalo and the actual setting of "Little House on the Prairie." The Dads must step up to the plate at the "King of the Road" BBQ challenge. The chefs whose burgers do not stand up to the family taste test will face the "End of the Road" challenge where one family's journey will end.

"Great American Road Trip," from BBC Worldwide, is a hilarious and relatable new series where seven families from divergent backgrounds are selected to take the journey of a lifetime. Over eight episodes, the families will travel through cities large and small, all while competing in a medley of humorous challenges that will ultimately lead one family to victory.

These comical, clever challenges are set against iconic American backdrops like the majestic Grand Canyon and the regal Washington Monument. Along the way, our families and our viewers will also discover quirky American landmarks, ranging from the World's Largest Chair to a sneaker the size of a car. Although family fun is the centerpiece of the show, the competition is real and one family will be eliminated each week based on their performance in the challenges. Ultimately, only one family will return home with a dream prize that perfectly complements their extraordinary and memorable summer vacation.
