Beg, Borrow & Deal was a reality television show that aired on ESPN. The show was similar to The Amazing Race.
The show pitted two teams of four against each other. The object of the game was to get from one point to another by doing various tasks related to sports. The first team to complete a minimum number of tasks and have all members cross the finish line together won the game.
There was one major catch: contestants could not carry money, credit cards, or debit cards with them on the trip.
The network aired two seasons of seven episodes each. One ran in the fall of 2002, the other in the summer of 2003.
