Holy fucking douchebags in armor and on horseback.

It's cool that I can see dumbasses bash the ever loving fuck out of each other in heavy armor whilst jousting. But as always the douchebag factor of reality TV overpowers what little good can be enjoyed in this show.

Fuck these guys.

This is why acting and traditional scripted programming is better than the reality crap - it departs from reality and filters the day-to-day asshole factor out of your entertainment to tolerable levels.

I dig a lot of skill based reality shows. Top Chef, the first couple of seasons of Project Runway, Chopped, Ultimate Fighter, No Reservations, Dhani Tackles the Globe, Faceoff, and a few others I can't remember right now. But my problem is rather than rely on the skills of the competitors and the actual excitement of seeing something new most shitty reality tv shows rely on fake ass drama.

I love Ninja Warrior and Viking was cool as well but American Ninja Warrior's training camp is pretty gay. Way too much "you go bro" and ass slapping for me.

That's what happens when G4 makes something 'their own'. Alls I need with my Ninja Warrior (Sauske) is subtitles so I know what that crazy Jap jibba jabba means.

What, you didn't like the guy that ran the events wearing a mask?

I didn't get the team thing, since the whole event is pretty much just each man for himself. Actually, it is exactly each man for himself. They should have just took the best 10 at the end of it.

Yeap. Top 20, run a training camp with elimination challenges, and bring in the badasses that have either finished the course are come close every year as celebrity coaches for certain episodes.

Fucking G4 is teh suck.
