Watching people face their fears is as much of a snooze fest and watching unfit people climb a mountain. But, the cinematography was excellent & the scenery was magnificent! Overall, I found the series entertaining.
Still, any reality show that rewards bad behavior is an immediate turn off. I almost stopped watching because of that. And there's absolutely no way for the players to protect themselves from elimination or those behaving badly.
The other major bummer is, the show is all about FEELINGS. The biggest prize award is based on the EMOTIONS of disgruntled players already eliminated. Because EMOTIONS are the number one most important thing for young people and that's boring as hell. Everything is about the feels. SMH. Imagine if our ancestors tried to build a country based on EMOTIONS. None of us would be here.
IMO, Dusty, Geoff & Nick were the most deserving to win (in that order) so I'm happy with the results. I pray for anyone in the hospital who gets Nurse Dennis Ratchet! Those who were carried along the way were delusional to think they could win - or were deserving of the win. I did like Manu's no-nonsense approach.
A lot of tweaking is needed if there's gonna be a season 2...or better yet, get fit/athletic contestants who can earn advantages with challenges on their way to the check points.
