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:
The first episode of ABC’s 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 Everealm’s true hero. We’ve 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. They’re 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.

I was at a fantasy convention in Salt City a month ago and they were having auditions for this show. I think the auditions were for the 2nd season (should they make it that far). I looked into I case the were looking for any characters to be part of the challenges, but they were only looking for contestants, which I didn't want to do.

I watched this show and loved it, though I think I spent most episodes just lusting after Sir Ansgar.

What?! :p
