Mike & Samantha - Miles & Heather - Love in the Wild 1 - Discussion

"Love in the Wild" is an exciting adventure dating series that puts relationships to the ultimate test. Hosted by Darren McMullen (Australian "Minute to Win It"), 10 single men and 10 single women, all looking for love, will experience a romantic adventure unlike anything they could have ever imagined. These singles have tried it all - speed-dating, blind-dating, Internet dating - and now, they're headed deep into the remote jungles of Costa Rica to see if they can find that special someone they've been looking for. In each episode, the couples will pair up in exhilarating quests that will push their bodies and their emotions to the limit. Some of these include paddling down crocodile-ridden waters, navigating through bat-infested caves and hanging 200 feet above the rain forest floor as they descend down one of the most majestic waterfalls in Costa Rica. These exploits will put their relationships to the test as they fall for each other in ways they never imagined. Sparks will fly and hearts will break.

After each adventure, the winning couple will share a night together at the Oasis, a lavish, five-star bungalow overflowing with everything they could possibly desire for an intimate night of romance. The remaining couples will stay with their partners in the less-luxurious "cabins," where they will gather for a night of socializing.

During an elimination unlike anything seen before, all of the couples will come together to reveal whether a connection has been formed with their current partner - or if they would like to switch and get to know someone else. At the end of every episode, two heartbroken singles will be sent home. The series will culminate with just one couple left standing, who will have completed the adventure of a lifetime and found the one thing they've been searching for - "Love in the Wild."

Thanks San for reminding me about this show. I plan to check it out. It looks good. :D

Darren McMullen possesses a knack for making people laugh, as well as entertaining audiences and cozying up to some of the biggest names in the industry. He has hosted numerous high-profile television shows, and his on-screen efforts have redefined the traditional host role.

Scottish-born McMullen began his career in front of the camera as host of "Ignition," a monthly car show in Sydney, Australia. He went on to host "Exclusive" from Australia's Arena TV, an entertainment news show, where he showed he could dive into the action - ranging from crashing the stage at Eskimo Joe's "Homebake" performance to getting arrested at a Robbie Williams concert. McMullen even turned the crowd on Johnny Knoxville at his own premiere - dressed as Jean Pierre, one of his alter egos.

MTV then came along and gave McMullen the perfect opportunity to let loose with his wild and crazy antics as the host of "The Lair," MTV's live music show. He next hosted "Fan vs. Band," a program that he helped to write and develop for MTV.

McMullen later found time for primetime network television on Australia's "Commercial Breakdown" for Channel Nine, a show that he helped write and develop. Based on the success of the first season, Channel Nine asked him to return and come back to do four, one-hour adult-only specials of "Commercial Breakdown."

McMullen has hosted several high-profile televised events such as Snow Jam in 2007, 2008 and 2009, which is a free, open-air music festival that takes place on the slopes near Christchurch, New Zealand. McMullen also has hosted Event TV, another "Entertainment Tonight"-style show, which is screened in the foyers of such cinema theaters as Event, Greater Union and Birch Carroll and Coyle all over Australia and New Zealand.

In addition to hosting "Love in the Wild," McMullen currently hosts Australia's version of "Minute to Win It."

The preview looks really interesting. Looks like there might be some connections because they get a chance to try out working with different people. Interesting concept, like a amazing race/Bachelor combo.

This show will be almost like Outback Jack only this have 12 men and woman should be interesting.

Yup. And Natalie and Vadim from Outback Jack are still together. :D

Speaking of “the land down under”, Louisville’s Natalie Franzman went looking for love in on TV’s Outback Jack, in 2004. She won, got married and the couple moved to Louisville. Today, Natalie and husband Vadim Dale have two daughters (born in 2006 and 2008) and Wikipedia states they are expecting their third child in early 2010.

I'll be watching! Mindless entertainment.

This airs tonight, right?
