Sunrise undertakes US ‘mystery tour’

Viewers will pick 5 US destinations for live Sunrise broadcasts next week.

Sunrise is headed to the USA next week for a “five-day mystery tour” in which viewers will vote for the destinations from a shortlist.

The team will have less than 24 hours to move between locations in Hawaii, California, Nevada, Texas and ‘Southern States.’

“This is the experience of a lifetime – and all the power is in the viewers’ hands,” said Executive Producer, Michael Pell. “They tell us where they want to go, and we take them there. Our viewers have always shaped the show, so we can’t wait to see what they come up with this time for Sunrise’s greatest challenge yet.”

“This is a massive trip to take on, I’m a bit nervous but very excited. I can’t wait to see where the viewers send us!” said Samantha Armytage.

“I love an adventurous school trip; it’s a chance for us to hang out for a week. Even more, I love that it’s all up to the viewers,” said David Koch.

“We really won’t know ‘til 8am each day which city we are flying to. We’ve got a little side bet going on where we think viewers will pick,” added Natalie Barr.

“A lottery of 15 destinations and we don’t know where we will be going – it’s all up to our viewers! That’s a bit scary but I can’t wait!” said Mark Beretta

“I used to love Choose Your Own Adventure books and this feels like a real life version of that,” added Edwina Bartholomew.

“This is going to be an outrageous adventure. It’s a week of mystery flights. Bring it on!” said Sam Mac.

5:30am weekdays on Seven.

This will be another television world-first attempt for Sunrise. No other live television program has ever attempted a broadcast of this magnitude. And there’s more: this time Sunrise is giving four lucky viewers the chance to come along for the ride.

So, where will it be? Waikiki, LA or New Orleans? Buckle up! Each day will be a new adventure decided by Sunrise viewers and our cameras will capture every minute behind-the-scenes.

  1. I think Sunrise will be knowing exactly where it will be going – to the US States that have paid good production money to host the show. Be realistic here guys this is about as “real” as reality TV. The destinations were locked in well before they step on a plane. Don’t be gullible.

    1. ” They will be going to the US States that have paid good production money to host the show.”

      You are deffinatily right but not in the way that you think. I had you read the blurb, you would have read that round of voting is limited to a particular state or area (Hawaii for Monday, California for Tuesday, Nevada for Wednesday, Texas for Thursday, Southen States for Friday). It is obvious that each state is providing some funds to the show but they don’t care where (within their state) they go to. All they care about is the show selling the location (and by extension, the state) well enough to get Australian tourist to go there.

  2. Do they have spies at Today or Today have spies at Sunrise? They coincidentally are going away the same week Today is going around Australia again.
