It's so nostalgic to hear the Hulk shooting off "brudder" everytime he says a word.

Looks like someone from the new show is a fan of Sasuke, they borrowed the barrel roll from there. Anyway, this version is taking itself way to seriously.

Yeah, they need to add a deeper pit there like with the handbike. That way, there's a delay for the competitor to get back on the course.

Show was good, if I catch it on TV i'd watch, but I'm not going out of my way to watch this show.

Glad to see they've stuck to the show's cheesy roots. As it should be.

The Eliminator tore first two female athletes a new one. I wasn't sure either would ever finish.

Yep, like I said in the other thread, it looks like the swim and then the rope climb nearly completely saps the energy out of the competitors. They all start running dead legged after that.

I wish they didn't have to be so dramatic though. The damn commercial breaks were killing me. I felt like I was watching an episode of Lost or Prison Break.
