“Trek”

Will Love Survive?

Alternate Titles:

  • “24/7”
  • “Stress Test”
  • “All is Fair in Love and Travel”

In Promofilm’s new reality competition game show, “Temptation Island” meets the “Newlywed Game” with a little bit of “Mole” thrown in when the love of two couples, each of whom are about to be married, is put to the test when they are challenged to travel – it might be across a state, or even across the country. So, what’s the catch?

In “Trek”, which can be produced either as a one hour weekly or a thirty-minute strip, the twist is that the couples’s are divided and make the “trek” with the mate of the other. The question is, by the end of the journey, their relationship will be tested and we will discover whether or not their “love will survive.”

The reconstituted couple earns points and cash for achieving goals and benchmarks during their journey. A critical additional mission of each person during the trip is to learn as much personal information as possible about the person they are traveling with as well as personal information about the mate of that person traveling in the other couple.

When the couples reach their final destination, their love will be tested – literally. While still in the outdoor setting, the original couples will regroup, and the host will put them through their paces. Video will be shown of the “traveling couple” to the original couple. Will they like what they see? Did someone have more fun or a better time with the other mate? Do they look happy, sad; were they having too much fun? Did they reveal too much information? Is their love still intact?

Under the prompting of the Host, the couple’s will be asked questions about their competitors’ mates to see what each discovered during their journey. Did someone reveal too much information, too little? Points are scored, money is earned and in the face of all this new information, video tape, revelations and the bond that may or may not be created with the other person while traveling, each original couple is faced with a decision. Do they remain together or split? Do they share money? Has someone fallen for their travel mate?

What can happen is anybody’s guess, but the key question is, during “Trek,” will love survive?
