50/50

Longtime Travel Channel host Samantha Brown teams with up-for-anything partner Chris Grundy (DIY Network's "Blog Cabin") to present two unsuspecting people with a chance to jet away on a 50-hour, $50,000 extreme adventure. The catch? Accepting the offer means the participants must drop everything and leave at that moment. Featuring extravagant choices like where to go, what to do, and when to eat and rest, each episode's journey allows impulsive people the ability to craft their own adventures while the clock ticks down and the money gets spent. Says Brown about trips-of-a-lifetime to Abu Dhabi, Alaska, Nicaragua, South Africa, Wyoming's Jackson Hole, and the Adirondacks in New York: "I get to show people how, in even two days, travel can change your life."
