Battle Camp

I love these kind of shows. However, is it really necessary to show close-ups of bodily fluids exiting the orifices of the human body. It's disgusting. We don't need to see that kind of thing.

Another thing that annoys me about these shows is that they selecting participants from previous shows who have already had their chance at fame and fortune. Is the USA so lacking in basic talent? Most of these contestants are only slightly interesting, at best. Time to give other people a chance. I'm sick of seeing the same boring faces on every reality show that I watch.

The show itself is a good program, for those of us who love reality game shows. But the contestants need to be new, not sad people with zero talent looking to be famous.

Keep the original cast throughout the season to foster deeper storylines and stronger emotional arcs.

Swap out the wheel for a voting mechanism-strategic, democratic, and emotionally resonant.

Introduce a "split or steal" endgame twist for a dramatic and unpredictable closing.

------------- 10/10.

Battle Camp is a fun show! As far as competition shows go, it has it all... drama, alliances, action, and a new element... luck! The wheel determines who stays or goes so while game play and strategy are important, anyone can go when the wheel is spun. This makes for some really dramatic moments. The cast is fun and likeable (except when they're not!) and the element of teams really makes you root for the people you like most. There doesn't seem to be contrived conflict and you can tell that genuine friendships develop between cast members. This show is worth a watch and I can't wait for Season 2!

Ok so Battle Camp on Netflix is seriously my new fave show. Like no joke it's miles ahead of any other comp show on there, even The Circle which I used to be obsessed with. It gives Survivor meets The Challenge vibes but with way better energy and a more chill, fun atmosphere. The music slaps, the guys on the cast are hot af, and it actually feels real like the producers aren't constantly trying to stir stuff up. It's refreshing. The cast has chemistry, the challenges are fun to watch, and I legit can't stop binging it. I really hope they do a season 2 cause I'm hooked. Honestly I didn't expect to love it this much but now I'm telling all my friends to watch. It's that good.

Love competition shows but the spinning of the wheel took most of the competition aspect away as it all came down to luck for each episode and even the final. The challenges were uncreative - for example critter food challenge, fire challenge, walk the plank and even a spelling bee which made me sad for our youth that they even had to think about those easy words let alone miss some if them. One shining light of the show was Trey who made the show fun, always smiling, upbeat, talented, and positive despite how badly others treated him. Even though he strategized, which is necessary to win, he still always had a smile. Some of the others had bitter looks on their faces and schemed negatively. One male contestant even left the show like a child when he wasn't winning. The most fun contestants left before the final so it could have been better. Even after all that would like to see another season to see how the show might develop.
