This is such an excellent show, it's on Dave.
Makes Ninja Warrior look like the mug of warm milk it is.

Tough challenges, reminds me of that Sky One thing from a few years back.

I can't believe how much I get into it, perfect host and editing get me on the edge of my seat and OI get involved with the people. I cannot think of any other show in this genre where I give a st.
I love how they get them to talk smack, half of them look like dicks later. But that huge MMA guy...whooo, wouldn't wanna piss him off!!

I have no idea how the ones in the true heavyweight division would cope with the challenge though, the smallest guy at 210 won.

Season 2 is better than season 1 so far, and we are only 2 episodes in.
They have changed the skullbuster so that it is the same course for both men and women now, the only difference is the weight of the log on the run at the start. The time difference between the men and women is... interesting biggrin
How was it different in S1?

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.


I'm in love with Desiree... cloud9



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?

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?

She certainly had an asset...

Her attempt at the skullbuster was amazing though biggrin
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?

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.'

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.

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.

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.

This programme, still deliverin'.

S3E3, the latest bloke winner, one can see what a remarkable find Tommy was, the new winner only just clipped his time, though he did weigh a whopping 215lbs, I do not see any man larger, beating him. Being a wrestler he managed to push out that 235 monster out of the pit! The, 'VIOLENCE!' guy.

Biggest heavyweight ep so far on last night. Two guys were 260, a guy who was 240 won it. They are great for some challenges but I don't see them doing ell on the challenge itself. He flaked out on the monkey bars, understandably after actually a blitzing start. I guessed that his grip might give up.
