Stars Earn Stripes Premiered on NBC on August 13, 2012
Hosted by General Wesley Clark (retired) and Samantha Harris, "Stars Earn Stripes" is an action-packed competition show that pays homage to the men and women who serve in the U.S. Armed Forces and our first-responder services. The star-studded cast includes four-time undefeated world boxing champion Laila Ali, actor Dean Cain (" Out of Time," Five Days of War"), actor and former National Football League player Terry Crews (" The Expendables 2," " The Newsroom"), multi-platinum recording artist, actor, producer and television personality Nick Lachey (NBC's " The Sing-Off"), Alaska businessman and four-time Iron Dog snowmobile race champion Todd Palin, NBC's " The Biggest Loser" trainer Dolvett Quince, Olympic gold medalist Picabo Street, and WWE diva, Eve Torres.
In this fast-paced competition, the eight celebrities will gather at a remote training facility where they will be challenged to execute complicated missions inspired by real military exercises. From helicopter drops into water to long-range weapons fire, the contestants will be tested physically, mentally and emotionally. Each will be paired with a special operative from a military branch or one of our first-responder forces, including former U.S. Army Delta Force and Green Berets, U.S. Navy SEALS, U.S. Marines and police officers, who train alongside their partners and compete in the missions with them. Each of the teams is competing for a cash prize on behalf of a military, veterans or first-responder charity.
Committed to hiring recent vets on the crew, " Stars Earn Stripes" hopes to inspire other employers throughout the country to make similar commitments to our returning heroes to show audiences just how incredible these heroes' missions really are. Dick Wolf (Law & Order, NBC's Law & Order: SVU), Mark Burnett (NBC's The Voice, Survivor) and David A. Hurwitz (Fear Factor) serve as executive producers. The series is a production of Universal Television, One Three Media, Wolf Reality, LLC and Bill's Market & Television Productions.

For a reality tv show i would watch it .
At least this one has a point Author: codebreaker Time: 8-20-2012 12:38 Subject: 1x01 Amphibious Assault
What a great first mission with the Squads being drop from the helicopter into water and the fact it's all live weapons makes it more exiting but having Eve and her squad coming in first was impressive, Dean and his Squad getting the first time of 13:20 was a good start, Dolvett and Terry having to be rescued from the water was unfortunate and I'm not surprised their squads were last but Terry comeback in the elimination contest was awesome

Eve hitting her two targets first was impressive, Laila missing the target a having to change magazine cartridge was unfortunate but still a good time and Nick jumping from the helicopter being scared was great, it's a shame Terry was eliminated

Interesting third mission with some great times in completing the mission what a shame Laila was the one to leave this episode Author: codebreaker Time: 9-11-2012 12:07 Subject: 1x04 Stolen Intelligence
Down to five teams it's going to be intense, the elimination shoot out came as a surprise but Eve coming back after her gun jammed was incredible and unfortunately it was Nick's turn to go home, kicking a whole in the high wall rather than climb over was amusing and Picabo hitting the final target in one shot was awesome Author: codebreaker Time: 9-11-2012 12:42 Subject: 1x05 Harbor Demolition
At the start I would never of guest that two of the final three would be ladies, Dean having trouble dialling in his shooting skills I think was his downfall but once he got it together he was great, Eve shooting skills are what got her the winning title and a time just over 5 minutes for the final mission but I was surprised they was only 27 seconds between them
