Outback Jack
Twelve beautiful American princesses compete for the love of one Aussie larrikan in this new reality TV show that airs in the US on June 22 2004. The twist is that the bloke is claiming to be a triathlete, trail bike racer, whitewater rafter and skydiver who has earned awards in swimming, judo, karate, grappling, football and horseback riding . Oh and he climbs mountains, too. No mention of fighting crocodiles, but I’m sure it just hasn’t come up yet.
The women will have to endure adventures in Outback Australia to win his heart.
Steve Irwin, the real “Crocodile Dundee” is already married, so they had to get this “Vadim Dale” character . Some of his mountain climbing is reported at Millenium Expedition
Here’s a picture of him

I finally saw an ad for this show this morning. It’s running on TBS. Which is interesting, becaue TBS (Turner Broadcasting, as in Ted Turner) has been reality-show free until this. Although it looks like it’s going to be the first of several reality shows for them - TBS is also the network that will be running the new Gilligan’s Island-based reality show later this year.
Cu,
Andrew
