Fun for sure, but I wish they would've balanced the teams or challenges better. It's definitely been a fun one to watch.

I could deal without the redundant edits, showing me the same thing 3 times with the same audio.

Yeah, the editing is pretty weak. Especially the double takes of the audio and unnecessary video cut aways...

I can't stop to think that there may be something cultural to the editing style/approach? Can someone who has been exposed to much more Korean stuff confirm/deny?

Definitely cultural! I have watched Korean variety/reality shows for years and the editing is usually way worse sometimes they’ll replay things 4 times. It’s annoying but the shows are still great despite that haha

I actually liked it! I hated missing something so to see different POVs added excitement to the show

Def cultural. Koreans make the 'woah' noise at everything. Even when you're telling normal day to day stories.

it's Korean style editing. They move at a slower pace and want you to see multiple reactions/expressions.

The ice climber dude is inhuman

Hardcore ice climbers are in a league of their own, like free soloers. Just amazing overall athletes. Similar to rock climbers being the most successful on things like America Ninja Warrior.

Yeah, that second challenge was not fair in the slightest.

The boat pull? I wish they'd pulled the guy with the bad knee. It was sad to watch and I would guess he made it much worse.

Yeah, they should have had weight classes with that one. The MMA brawl was pretty awesome, though. Didn't see that coming.

I don't think weight classes should be a thing in this show. It's the top 100 physiques going at it, if you're not well rounded and at least formidable in each category then you shouldn't win. Strength is one of them. Just like the strongmen might suck in agility-based games

Some of those matches in the ball challenge were completely one-sided. Especially the body builders against dudes 100lbs lighter... That has nothing to do with being "well-rounded" and everything to do with sheer mass... That's like a tug of war between a VW beetle and a Mac truck...

Yes because the lighter dudes messed up and didn‘t grab the ball properly. If the lighter dude had the ball he was able to just run away easily

On the Sand court, there was no choice but to brawl. The smaller guys may have had the ability to run and dodge on the obstacle course, but they were stopped anyway because the huge guys threw the ball in the corner and made them brawl for it...

The smaller guys were able to choose the arena, it wasn‘t predetermined. Also, the only way for the bigger guy to hide the ball is because the smaller guys messed up and didn‘t retrieve the ball properly but ran over it. That‘s just their fault

Yeah, let's all move a boat for sure. But maybe we move a boat relative to the weight of our group.
