Physical & Mental Test That Felt Scripted

LIKES:
For the most part production was good.
It was interesting to see the various occupations/sports that these fit people were part of.
The different body types did have a good range of people.
The competitions got better towards the end, especially for the last 5 standing.
The music was fitting for competitions and for the most part good.
I liked how even though only one person could win, that everyone encouraged each other to persevere.

DISLIKES:
Felt very scripted until the last two competitions.
The claim about gender and race equality, felt false due to: 1- the games themselves favouring certain body types and 2- because the other races that took part in it, felt thrown in to the mix and didn't have equal amounts of people as the obvious asian dominated participants.
I didn't like some of the competitions where it was done in teams that were chosen by participants. It would've been more interesting and fair, had they teams been picked randomly.

OVERALL:
If they bring a second season I would watch it, but can't be bothered to watch this one again. I did binge watch it. It was interesting and you could really feel the competition and emotion the players felt. If you ever want to know how a body builder would be able to compete against an athlete or military people, this is the show for you!
