CW goes to the Hidden Temple...

(Interesting call there- I had heard they had started over with casting after the Quibi debacle, but I would have bet money it would have been for Paramount+)

And a host has been announced -- Cristela Alonzo, who voiced Cruz Ramirez in "Cars 3" and her own sitcom on ABC a few years back.

I wonder how she’ll do as a game show host.

I actually enjoyed Cristela. Don’t think she got a fair shake.
I suppose you can still learn stuff on TLC, though it would be more in the Goofus & Gallant sense, that is (don't do what these parents did)"- Travis Eberle, 2012

Here's the first official promo, confirming something we've suspected:

That's a good promo -- it pays proper homage to the Nickelodeon series.

I saw the allusions to the other five teams, but I didn't see where a green monkey was represented. There's a lot of foliage and the mandatory silver monkey statue, so I'm not sure whether it was camouflaged or just not present.

Twice I see something vaguely simian represented: on the left of the AFTER 26 YEARS card, the headless Silver Monkey statue is sitting in front of a large face with its eyes closed and green leaves flowing down from its head (although this might also be a reference to Medusa's Lair); also on the left of the A LEGEND IS REBORN card, that looks like a monkey's head on a post. It looks more like the monkey design from the shirts than the original head piece from the Shrine.

And if you haven't read by now (I'm sure many of you already have), Dee Bradley Baker returns as the voice of Olmec.
