Lame ripoff of MXC/unbeatable banzuke/ninja warrior. The best thing about those shows is how serious the Japanese take it. The fact that they let you "wipe out" and keep going is retarded to me and I feel like a lot of times the contestants are taking dives on purpose. Jill is hot, but the commentary is annoying. I guess I'm just a negative Nancy.

Hey Panthro, what do you think of Jill?

I like the commentary...sure it is a bit corny at times but that is how it is supposed to be. I have always liked John Anderson and John Henson.

Another thing that it has going for it is that it is on during the summertime when most everything it is up against is a re-run.

Good for a mindless laugh and sometimes I need that.

agree, it's just not as funny and the games aren't as good as MXC.

Agreed. It's still entertaining but MXC was better because they took it so seriously and the commentary was better imo.

That's because this is newer and in America so everything has to be lawsuit proof (hence more padding and safety). Some of the MXC events could result in painful injuries. One of the worst being the one where they run across the stones on the pond and some of were just floating and some were rigid. People would fly across, stumble on a floating one and then do a full tilt Rib-Plant on a rigid stone. I'm sure there were numerous cases of broken ribs and internal bleeding.

Also of note, I know a guy who was on this show. He's gay and dressed up like Tina Turner.

my favorite was like that one, contestants running full steam through a series of walls that had 3 doors, two were paper mache, one was wood... you can imagine the hilarity.

      Thomas Fletcher Didn’t Make It, But These Four Did

      Seriously? A CB who missed all that time on his rookie deal and was also a top 10 pick when the guys picked right before and after have been studs. A RB our GMs tried to replace with FAs and 2nd rounders and two backup level players is one of the best drafts we’ve ever had? I’d argue that the 2011/2012 drafts were better even with just Cam and Luke/Norman. Here’s the drafts I think were better: 2017, maybe 2018, 2015, 2013, 2011, 2012, 2008, 2007, 2001, 2002 (just Pepp) I’m hoping 2025 is way better as well. Honestly, we’ve kind of sucked at drafting overall and that’s the only reason you can even remotely call Horn, Hubbard, Tremble and BC a good draft let alone one of our best ever. Good teams that draft well would laugh at that as a great draft. If you want to look at say the 2023 Lions draft, you’d get 4 stud/above average/average starters not just 3 replaceable starters/backups and a top 10 pick that missed half his games. That’s a draft that helps turn a team into a playoff team. Our record since our 2021 draft is 19-49. A best ever draft doesn’t go 19-49.

      Bingo. You can't pay that type of player elite franchise QB money. That average starter type player can excel when he's surrounded by top shelf talent in a great offensive system but pay him elite QB money and you're going to really struggle to surround him with the type of talent you need to carry him. You pay those elite franchise QBs because they can carry your roster. You can't pay guys who have to be carried. Bryce showed glimpses down the stretch last year. I really hope he keeps building on that. But before we back up the Brinks truck he needs to show that he's the type of QB who can lift up and carry the offense because when you pay those guys that's what they're gonna have to do.
