Brandi Chastain and Julio Iglesis Jr.
Loosely based on the ABC classic ``Wide World of Sports,'' this show pairs eight celebrities with professional athletes from a variety of different sports for sporting events and challenges, including swimming, biking, running, kayaking and more. The teams are tested on speed, stamina, strength and strategy as well. Each week one team of athletes is eliminated a winning pair is left. The show is shot on location in the Bahamas.
For the record, Brandi is my cousin, not Julio Iglesis. She's best known as that soccer player who took her shirt off at the end of the game (while wearing a sports bra), and completely forgotten as the soccer player who scored the winning goal in the world championship game against a goalie who blocked her goal in the same event the previous year, causing her team to lose by one point that year. She's also a 2x gold medalist in soccer and a staunch proponent of strong women. She posed nude for Nike as part of her personal campaign to show that strength in women is beautiful and strength can also be "feminine". Needless to say, I respect and admire her immensely.
