Your new favorite reality competition series is premiering on FOX Wednesday, May 20 with the debut of Ultimate Tag. Each week, a group of contestants will “vault, dodge, tumble and dive their way through several different epic, three-dimensional courses,” while being chased by 18 resident taggers.
The contestants are everyday citizens, not professional athletes. But they will be chased by the taggers, who all “possess jaw-dropping athletic prowess.” As the competitors progress, the courses become more and more extreme, earning them points toward the cash prize.
Along the way, the taggers will be released into the courses at various times, and only the contestants who can outlast the taggers the longest will earn a spot in the championship game.
The show is hosted by NFL sibling trio JJ, TJ, and Derek Watt, with JJ telling Entertainment Weekly, “It is much more sport than it is a game show … These people take true pride in it, and they’re showing unbelievable athletic skill and strength and stamina. It’s tiring as hell from our perspective.”
