The latest in the string of reality shows, Lost follows three teams as they find their way from a secret drop location to the Statue of Liberty, with no given information and very little money.

The downside, as ever for television voyeurs, is the occasionally slow action. But watching people travel around the world and get spat on by locals is a lot more interesting than watching them tend a campfire and starve to death. Plus, the six-week series is actually two separate competitions with a winner every few weeks. And since we have the attention span of a toddler on a popsicle binge, we couldn’t be happier.
