The Adrenaline Project is a Canadian extreme sports reality TV show. Season one premiered September 29, 2007 on YTV's Get Real! at 7:00 p.m. ET,^[1] & on FOX's 4Kids TV at 8:00 a.m. ET.^[2] The first season was hosted by former MuchMoreMusic VJ Richard "Caz" Cazeau, and also featured Boomer Phillips.

Season two was hosted exclusively by Boomer and the 26 episode season premiered September 6, 2008 6:00pm ET on YTV. This season was not seen in the US, as 4Kids TV cancelled the series on April 5, 2008, and was not moved to its successor block, The CW4Kids.

Format

In season 1 each week, The Adrenaline Project takes five teens to Boomer's base camp, in which they complete in two physical and mental challenges. One contestant is eliminated in each of the base camp challenges. The three remaining contestants go to Caz's final challenge and compete to win the competition and associated prizes.

In season 2, six teens compete each week in a tournament that spans half of the season. In each of the two semifinals, five winners and one wild card compete in a series of three rounds in the same format. The two semifinal winners move on to the final to compete in a series of three challenges to determine the Ultimate Adrenalite. The second half of the season has 60 new competitors competing in the same tournament format.^[3] In addition, winners of this season would win a trip to Walt Disney World.^[4] The Adrenaline Project is a Marblemedia production, and created by Mark Bishop and Matt Hornburg. Despite the fact that the show is a Canadian production, the version airing on YTV is not entirely the same as the version airing on 4Kids TV. During the episode in the American broadcasts, trivia will appear either horizontally or vertically displaying factoids relating to that particular event. This does not appear in the version airing on YTV. The program formerly aired on the Latin American version of Boomerang.

Cast

Caz

Caz is the co-host of The Adrenaline Project Season 1. Each week, Caz joins the three contestants that make it past Boomer's basic training, and travels with them to the destination for that week's final challenge. While the contestants do not know what they are in for until the last moment, Caz guides them through the final challenge. Caz does not appear in Season 2.

Boomer

Boomer does the basic training for the five contestants and during the two rounds, the last place player is eliminated. In Season 2, Boomer is the sole host. He does basic training with the six contestants and hosts each of the three challenges.
