Every Tuesday on ABC from 8:00p.m. to 9:00p.m. you can watch the new reality television competition called The Superstars.  The plan is for this to be a 6 episode show. Celebrities and athletes pair up and compete for a total of eight teams with challenges that include running, biking, kayaking, and obstacle courses.

One team will be eliminated each week until one team is left.

To begin with football star Terrell Owens was paired with model Joanna Krupa; baseball's Jeff Kent was paired up with actress and model Ali Landry ; basketballer Robert Horry was paired up with actress/model and former synchronized swimmer, Estella Warren: Alpine ski racer Bode Miller was paired with "Extreme Home Makeover's" Paige Hemmis; freestyle skier Kristi Leskinen competed with "Dancing With the Stars" professional dancer, Maksim Chmerkovskiy ; basketball star Lisa Leslie competed with actor Dan Cortese; tennis star Jennifer Capriati and former "Baywatch" star David Charvet competed together; and soccer star Brandi Chastain was been paired with singer, Julio Iglesias, Jr.

  Terrell Owens, 35, 6'3" 224 pounds    

Joanna Krupa, 30, perhaps the sexiest model in the industry.


The Superstars past winners include football stars Herschel Walker in 1987 and Jason Sehorn in 1998, decathlete Dave Johnson in 1993 and Olympic skier Bode Miller (who makes his return this year) in 2002.

On Tuesday's episode Leskinen and Chmerkovskiy took second place in a relay race in the sand, finishing behind Buffalo Bills wide receiver Terrell Owens and his partner, model/actress Joanna Krupa.

Previously on Superstars Jennifer Capriati and David Charvet dropped out because of an injury she received during the first episode.  According to the rules the team who had been eliminated would come back so Terrel and Joanne were back for episode two and did well. 

Some of the challenges have been the sand dash - a 100 yard relay dash in the sand and the water leap which was a long jump type event where each team member placed a bar estimating how far he/she could jump and then tried to clear that bar.

The latest Superstars team to be eliminated and sent home was Jeff  Kent and Ali Landry. May the fittest of the fit survive to the end!
