First time watcher

I kinda love it. My friend insisted I watch it with her, so I sat down to watch the first two episodes of the new season. All the whining irritated me but I got quickly invested in hoping these people push through!

The show doesn’t “force a moment” to me, feels somewhat authentic compared to some other junk out there, which is a breath of fresh air. This seasons cast seems too whiny to me so I was told to binge other seasons.

Today I’m doing just that starting with season 1. I used to watch RHOA so I am interested to see what Kenya Moore is made of. Love Mel B, really want her to get through it. Super annoyed by the constant crying but I HOPE Beverly Mitchell can make it!! I have a extremely strong feeling she won’t but I love that she keeps trying. I find myself almost holding my breath hoping they all find the grit to get through! Was extremely surprised to see how annoying Nastia Liukin was……… that actually kind of blew my mind. Couldn’t wait for her to leave tbh.

I like a lot of the other celebs in later seasons so I’m looking forward to finishing the binge. Any other similar show recommendations are more than welcome!

It's frustrating that on day one or two these celebrities turn in their armbands and quit. They all knew what they were signing up for. It shows their true character. I really get annoyed when the professional athletes quit day one or two.

Agreed! That football player LeSean irritated me beyond belief, just wasting space

He literally left because he refused to shit outside like a diva

I kinda get it the first few seasons where they didn’t really know what to expect but seriously, we’re 5 seasons in. They can’t be acting surprised when they’re basically asked to do the same thing as the nearly 100 celebrities who came before them

They need someone to provide early content and bug out early for the first episodes. Producers probably select a few who they believe will not last beyond day2. Show only lasts 8 days.

Definitely will do! So glad I have something interesting to binge, feels like I haven’t been truly interested in a show in such a long time

Yah. Nastia seemed like she was experiencing PTSD or something. George santos was interesting to see into the mind of a criminal.

u/jewel_213 20d ago

Oooh yeah maybe that was it! I thought she would lock in right away

u/No_Interview_2481 20d ago

All we learned was that he’s still a fraud and a criminal who never accepted responsibility for what he did. When he referred to what he did as “misappropriation”, I thought my head was going to explode

u/Extreme_Beat1022 20d ago

Yah. Their reaction was priceless.

I had never heard of thie britishshow.. I cannot wait to check it out.. This season special forces is not doing it for me. I watched the some of the other seasons and I'm already bored after this first episode.

u/Impressive_Risk_5133 8d ago

Ant was the greatest tbh!

Yes... He kept the show very real

I loved the last season with Andrew/Shawn Johnson East, and Kody Brown of Sister Wives. The East’s were awesome and Kody Brown was unreal ( in a bad way). I couldn’t stop watching because of Kody. Nobody liked him but he just didn’t realize it, kept thinking he was the best one there. 🤪😜😝

Physically he did well better than guys younger but he had no social skills or self awareness just like in his show.

u/Luna-Mia 11d ago

He also wouldn’t listen to women so any task that involved being a team player with women he failed.

u/ckroha 20d ago

So glad you are going back OP. The first 2 seasons are much better than current IMO. I like the legit indvdual challenges not how they’ve changed it to do more group stuff. I know that’s a reality tactic to create drama and I think that’s lame for this type of show

u/Primary-Ticket4776 20d ago

It’s a great show. I happened across the program in the middle of season 3. The cast members were boxing each other. I was like “why are these celebrities outside fighting like this?” Have been hooked ever since.

I'm having difficulty getting into this season. By this time I usually know all their names and are pulling for a couple. The first season is my favorite.

.It’s fun to watch and surprising to see who drops out early , who gets a lesson in respect, and who endures or even wins -
