One of the dumbest shows ever, but still couldn't stop laughing for the longest time!

This is a consistently enjoyable, albeit plotless and sometimes repetitive, show. As such, it's entirely undeserving of the critical slam it received by the likes of Variety and Slate. (The critical response stands in direct opposition to to the high weekly ratings the show receives, which demonstrates their increasing irrelevance.) Johns Henson and Anderson are enjoyable insofar as their inability to take the show seriously. They self-consciously try too hard, they know we know that they try too hard. It's refreshing in a summer of America's Got Talent. Everyone should watch this show for a few episodes, because the more you get to know the obstacles, the more fun it is to anticipate how badly the contestants will fail. Completely worthwhile.

great show, critics take themselves too serious. yea, sometimes contestants wisecracks make be cohurst, but a punch in the crotch from a wall with a boxing glove is 100% real and funny and gives me something to talk to coworkers about.

I cannot believe how low the ratings on this show are! I love it. The commentators totally make the whole thing with there deadpan comments to the "joke" of it all - like it is some Olympic or ESPN competition. It cracks me up. And really it comes down to the competitors - that they put themselves through this just to make some dough!

I have never much been a fan of reality TV. However, this shows crackpot nature and unapologetic stance make it really easy to watch. Watching it, you can tell that the makers themselves don't take it very seriously. Watch it with friends and it's even better.

The obstacle courses STINK and I hate it! I just can't laugh at pain. Some of those courses could hurt them badly! To sum it all up, it's boring with a capital B!
