Well they've finally brought history into the mix of reality television options with The Quest which premiered on ABC last Thursday night. This is from an article in Entertainment Weekly magazine about the show:
Full storyThe first episode of ABCs reality contest competition show The Quest starts off with our 12 Paladins receiving a scroll in the mail, telling them they have been chosen and their time is now. One of these 12 everyday people will eventually become the Everealms true hero. Weve got a good mix of contenders, some of which include an MMA fighter, a math teacher, a horse trainer and even a bartender for when they need to hit the local tavern.
The Paladins meet up with a man named Crio, who actually ferries them down a mystical river, kind of like the Pirates of the Caribbean Disneyland ride, except with way fewer animatronic pirates. Crio introduces the contestants to The Fates, who are three mysterious ladies in the shadows. Theyre told to find the 12 pieces of the Sunspear at the edge of Marwood, the dark forest they are about to enter.
Crio ushers them carefully through Marwood, and the Paladins find the 12 Sunspear pieces without breaking a sweat. Easy-peasy, right? Wrong.
