DESCRIPTION:
(from Spike TV's press release) "USA vs. The World" features average Americans who do some of the roughest jobs in the world, facing off against their foreign counterparts who have the same occupation. Each episode will feature three of the best Americans that perform a certain job and identify the country whose citizens might do it better. The American team will then travel to the opposing team's country in an attempt to beat the foreigners on their own turf. For example, the best alligator wranglers from Florida take on the crocodile wranglers of Northern Australia. "USA vs. The World" is produced by Lighthearted Entertainment, with executive producers Howard Schultz and Michael Maddocks ("Moment of Truth," "Extreme Makeover").
