We asked you what you thought of the Travel Channel's Confessions of a Travel Writer and boy did you let us know. This show could have been just another summer sleeper but thanks to an unlikeable host, it definitely drew a reaction. On the bright side, Chile made out like a bandit. We're all going to Chile in 2010!

What Did You Think Of The 'Confessions Of A Travel Writer' Premiere?

Where: 125 West 45th Street [map], New York, NY, United States, 10036

Did you catch us on TV last night? The pilot episode of the show "Confessions Of A Travel Writer" aired at 9pm EST yesterday on the Travel Channel, and our Shira Lazar is the sole representative of new media among the five travel journalists starring.

We took in the show from the pool lobby at the Grace Hotel in midtown New York City, where we drank Pisco Sours and patiently waited for them to fix the audio. Alas, they never did and so you at home had a better seat for the show than we did, although we did catch the 11pm re-run.

Find Out What Happens When 5 Travel Writers Get In Front of The Camera

August 10, 2009 at 6:50 PM | by juliana | 11 Comments

Was it really as much fun as it looked?

It's a Monday night during the summer and you've probably got nothing to watch on your DVR except "Weeds" if you're fortunate to have Showtime and those old reruns of "Mama's Family." (Don't lie, you know you watch it.) But there's something a little different coming to your tube today from the Travel Channel, Confessions of a Travel Writer.

This Monday, August 10, at 9 E/P, join Charles Runette and 4 other travel writers on a 7-day trip to Chile. See what happens when personal agendas get in the way of what seems like a dream job.

Full disclosure: Here's why we're interested in this show. Our very own Shira Lazar is actually one of those four other travel writers and we were able to get her reports back from Chile as they were happening. But we never heard anything about those "personal agendas." Maybe tonight's episode will reveal all! For a more in-depth look at the show, check out this interview with Charles Runnette on WorldHum.com.

Jaunted will actually be attending a screening of the show tonight and we will bring you back the full report. But if you manage to catch the show yourself, tell us what you thought in comments below.
