I loathe this show - waste of time- pompous hosts and stupid content.

I was RELIEVED this show was canceled! I felt it was geared towards people that have the time and the money to spend doing these kind of trips. I didn't feel identified AT ALL and I was quite bothered by their attitudes. I don't have the money to do those trips or eat that food, and if you go to the places they go, you don't get to do their activities unless you have a LOT of money.

And it doesn't even show you the touristic places RIGHT, but spend time filming indoors and worrying about a cocktail made for "George Clooney" that the lady wants to drink... WHO CARES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I really hate them,I hate the music chosen, I hate the off-voice that tries to pretend to be "oh so classy". (Right now I am watching a re-run and they are doing over a very expensive hotel in Venice.... I DONT CARE I COULD NEVER AFFORD IT).

And because it makes me feel left out I can't even enjoy watching "that lifestyle". Yes, a pity they are just having re-runs. If I hadn't land in it I would have come to rant to this forum! LOL!

I so much prefer shows hosted by Samantha Brown or Rick Steve's programs. Now THOSE are REALLY WELL MADE programs!

I am so sorry for you, you only have one chanel to watch and you are forced to watch this show.

For people who actually have options and choose to watch this wonderful show - watch it because it's a great show, the hosts are cute and funny and smart and humble. The choice of locations is good and you don't have to stay in their luxurious hotels. But as I followed their trip in one of the countries, I had a good feeling to pass by the expensive hotel and expensive train and see it in real life also knowing from TV what's inside.

I have more than one channel and I am a woman, thank you very much.

Read my post again:

This program - FOR ME- (it seems different to you obviously) does NOT bring any KWNOLEGE of the place they go to, they do ACTIVITIES that are seldomly available to "normal" travellers on a budget- they spent stupid time showing stupid activities instead of exploring the CULTURE, and spend stupid time showing expensive hotels that are not even worth it. And on top of it HUMBLE does not describe them, PLEEEEEEEEEEEASE! pretentious is more likely.

I DO turn the channel and I watch what I stated before, programs where you can LEARN about CULTURE of other countries, not just live as if you were still living your little petty life and having left the USA. Go skydiving in the USA, but if you are going to EUROPE or South AMERICA- open your eyes and LEARN something DIFFERENT.
