On the Sand court, there was no choice but to brawl. The smaller guys may have had the ability to run and dodge on the obstacle course, but they were stopped anyway because the huge guys threw the ball in the corner and made them brawl for it...

Some of those matches in the ball challenge were completely one-sided. Especially the body builders against dudes 100lbs lighter... That has nothing to do with being "well-rounded" and everything to do with sheer mass... That's like a tug of war between a VW beetle and a Mac truck...

Like a Jean Claude Van Damme movie...

Has he commented on whether the translations are accurate or not? They seem a little contrived at times, but maybe that's just how it translates...

Yeah, they should have had weight classes with that one. The MMA brawl was pretty awesome, though. Didn't see that coming.

Yeah, the editing is pretty weak. Especially the double takes of the audio and unnecessary video cut aways...

I'm not sure if it's the translation, the editing, or a characteristic of the people who tend to be on the show, maybe even a cultural thing, but they all seem so self depreciating. Very hard on themselves for mistakes that anyone would make, especially considering how fit and skilled they are. I appreciate how quick they are to compliment and support each other. Sure, some were kind of dbags, but I think they all got cut in the first few elimination challanges. Does anyone else notice this, or is it just me? I lived in South East Asia for a while, and I know that being selfish and unsportsmanlike are highly looked down on, but I never saw the same level of self debasement...
