The reality game ‘The Amazing Race’
seems to correspond best to the game
described in Document B.
First, the amount of the prize is similar: a
one-million-dollar cash prize for ‘the
Amazinf Race’ and a two million one for
‘The Brit Pluck’ game.
Moreover, both games are based on how
enduring the contestants are. They are
supposed to ge beyong their limits at all
cost and the shows last several weeks.
