“I think Netflixu0026#39;s Ultimate Beastmaster shows what this should could have been if it was actually executed correctly. They endlessly rehash events and skip the actually interesting runs in favor of showing u0026quot;sob storiesu0026quot; that no body cares about. I am sorry but if you canu0026#39;t complete the course then I do not care at all about your back story. And even if you can complete the course I still donu0026#39;t care enough about your back story to watch it for 5 minuets instead of watching other competitors compete. Just simply say u0026quot;this guy makes pizzau0026quot; or u0026quot;this person is dealing with autism and there is his mom supporting himu0026quot; and show a few shots of them doing something cool– not their home life or them in the hospital, that is not why people watch this show– know your audience! Also, the obstacles are way too focused on upper body strength. Make it more diverse like Beastmaster, but donu0026#39;t lower the bar for the woman like you are doing. If you want to give more screen time to woman, make a womanu0026#39;s set and a menu0026#39;s set like the Olympics.”
