Tough as Nails

I like the show. But I'd like it more if it weren't over dramatized. Also, I don't really get the host for this show. Where's Mike Rowe when you need him?

Hard work truly does pay off and can't be more evident than the contestants on this show! They come from all walks of life and all different backgrounds; but they have one thing in common! Hard work = prosperity and success! The competitions are fun to watch and the group and individual segments make the show very interesting!

PS Ignore the trolling keyboard warriors complaining about the show...it was absolutely worth your time!

My wife and I like the show, love the competition, but the irritating, constant injection of quotes and comments, and philosophies from contestants voices overlapping the physical challenges and little mini interviews disrupt the flow of competition. Phil's non stop screaming throughout the show is bizarre. Reminds you of Rogan in Fear Factor. But this year, the non stop air time they give to that loser Sarah is intolerable. She loses all the time, yet we are subject to her incessant points of view, opinions, philosophies, patting herself on the back like she is Socrates or Plato. She has ALL the answers.... From the losers box. She gets way, way, way too much air time.

Don't listen to the negative reviews on this show. People complaining about the "corporate machine" exploiting hard working people is ridiculous. These people love what they do and they are using their hard work to win $250K and a nice truck. These people don't complain even when they lose and the entire show has positive vibes. The challenges are unique and some of them are outright brutal (in a good way). This is a great show and it's a great depiction of America. If you want to watch a show about people complaining about hard work then I'm sure there's a European version being released eventually.

I was skeptical at first, but really loved this show, especially the 1st season.

• Great competitors
• Creative challenges
• Very well-produced
• Teared up quite a bit

Individual and Team aspects also made it compelling throughout season. Don't listen to the haters, just give one episode a try, and you'll likely be hooked
