Reviewing this after finishing season 2. I'll start off by saying that this show is intense, and keeps you on the edge of your seat! It's awesome seeing how such a variety of backgrounds compete against each other. There's no political BS here, just straight fierce competition. One of the most original and entertaining shows to come out in a while!
Now about the creativity part. They have all different types of physiques here, including women. There's just no way these women will get anywhere, because quest after quest is mainly focused on pure strength. For example, in the mine quest, my first thought was why not require them to push their own teammates in the carts? This would at least disadvantage the pure strength teams as they are all heavy, while the thin guys and females would give their team an advantage. Or even better, carry teammates on their shoulders!
As it stands, it's slightly anticlimactic as generally you know the strong guys will win, and the women are just there as a token. It would be cool if season 3 could involve some more skill-related things like swimming or skating. It would be wild to see a bodybuilder try to skate! And for team quests, maybe something that advantages smaller-framed people like requiring some quests that incorporate more technical challenges or ones that favor smaller physiques. Altogether great and refreshing show though!
