The sound affects are fantastically over the top.

I never watched the wrestling so dont know much about Stone Cold but he seams perfect for this.
To give you an idea, he once had his neck broken in the ring after a botched piledriver but went on to win the match as planned. And people laugh at it for being fake...........

S1 was:

guys : run with weight, shredder, mud swing, cargo net, nutcracker, commando crawl, walls, deep freeze, hill, rope climb
girls : run with smaller weight, shredder, mud swing, cargo net, nutcracker, commando crawl with rope steps on pole, smaller walls, deep freeze, hill, rope climb.

S2 is : run with weight (slightly heavier than s1), mud swing, spiderwallthingy, skyscraper, nutcracker, commando crawl (different setup to s1), hurdles, deep freeze (slightly different to s1), hill, rope climb (slightly higher)

The only difference between the girls and the guys is the weight on the first run now.
Apart from the weights (which is to be expected) I didn't realise the course was mildy easier with the rope things.

haha, this programme pisses all over any other kind of show in this genre.

Anybody recall that chavy UK version with Phil Mitchell from a while back?

Happened across this purely by accident last night, it is now on a series link.

It's brilliant and so American; loud, overly dramatic a bit of hollering etc, but I love it.

One thing though; why was Francis spelt the male way as opposed to being spelt the correct way for a female; "Frances"?

The shorter blokes upset the apple cart rather, the 5'6"-9"s weren't even particularly heavy.

That one that failed the final rope climb sure made up with his lack of inches with scary mental.

The runner up? He was crazy, the winner (who didn't beat last series bloke) seemed OK?

Jesus, that was gruelling.
One can see how the much shorter women struggle on the stump bit of the last challenge.
How the frick did that midget do it?

It looked to me that she was afraid of heights, so wasn't willing to stand up and jump across from standing, which is how i expect the midget did it.

Lol, at the Bootcamp I go to, one of the women had a massive fit of giggles when the instructor was demonstrating the "2 handed snatch", she kept on asking him to repeat it!

OK I've watched the right one now, I watch it at 3 the next day.

He was borderline special needs, a young lad who is willing to do owt to impress older fellas, when Steve asked him to show the champ his 'face', and he screamed. I would have wanted the champ to then say, 'well that's just weird and I have no words for it.'

I like this programme, I enjoy the host's laconic presenting style but by heck some/most of the contestants are complete fking bell ends.

Yeah some of them are a bit 'alpha', but then in a contest to show physical dominance I suppose you'll get a few of those types. Otherwise good show.

I'm enjoying this with my daughter. The current men's time is quick and will take some beating. I've noticed that those over 40 never do well. The big guys carrying muscle mass inevitably lack stamina which is exposed with the hill running. The skull buster looks properly difficult as well. At secondary school I could climb ropes in the school gym like a ninja with my legs at a right angle to my body. 10 years later I'm in an old school gym that has ropes on a work gig. I'd been working out the whole time. I remember telling my colleagues to step aside while I did my party piece on the rope.

I could barely get off the ground. Extra 5 stone. Deal breaker.

Atomic knees. biggrin

OK, just watched the heavyweight one, jeez, genuine heavvies there, the Jesus guy...erm, ok, and the fella who went onto win, at 240...nah, I just don't see it, he was a great athlete for sure. But the current (UK schedule) winner is 202? The 210 crossfit guy struggled. I don't really see anyone over 205 beating the current time, and I'd be surprised if anyone over 210 did, I also don't see anyone over 220 finishing the course. Though the 'lil' 220 wrestler who got beat by the 240 bloke would have the best chance that I've seen.

The time difference between the men and women is... interesting biggrin
Looks like that has been resolved by that stay at home mum. Wow! When she said she'd win, I was, 'yeah right.'
She destroyed her opponents, and utterly destroyed the time, plus she had bags of energy left, doing a full 360° flip. Wow.

Yeah, from the flip and the nutcracker I'd say she was an ex gymnast, which seems to be the key to winning. Very impressive.

Watching Ninja Warrior (a mate was on it), and it's quite easy to see how hopeless the editing and presenting is in this show, compared to SABSC, there's no tension or excitement. I know there's no mano y mano facing off like in SABSC, but it's hacked and spliced together like a student video, and the presenters are just relentless giddy's ready.

It needs an overhaul.
