Beg, Borrow &amp; DealBeg, Borrow &amp; Deal Beg, Borrow & Deal Beg, Borrow & Deal is a reality television show that aired on ESPN with a first season in 2002 and a second season in 2003. Premise. The show, which was originally called "Beg, Borrow and B.S.", featured two teams of four pitted against each other. The object of the game was to get from one point in the United States to another, while completing sports-related tasks from a list given to them at the start of the game. However, the contestants were only allowed the clothes on their backs and their drivers' licenses; they could never handle  any form of money. This forced the players to "beg, borrow, and deal" for meals, transportation, and nightly lodging. Further restrictions included: The sports-related tasks were scored from 1 to 3 points, with 10 points needed to complete the game. The first team to reach the designated finish line having completed 10 points' worth of tasks won the game and tickets to four major championship events of the following year. Airing. The network aired two seasons of seven episodes each. One aired in late 2002, and the second aired in mid-2003. In the UK the show was aired on  ABC1. In the rest of Europe, episodes were broadcast on the North American Sports Network in 2005 and in Canada on GameTV beginning in 2007. In 2002, ESPN reran the first season in a marathon the day after Thanksgiving. The second season suffered from poor ratings, and was pulled from its original prime time slot. Remaining episodes were exhausted in a midnight time slot, and the show was cancelled soon after. The Mandt Brothers were also executive producers of Former ESPN show "Jim Rome Is Burning".
