The Challenge: USA

Can a show be more boring. The first episode I did not care who won or how. Seemed all they cared about was socializing. Unbelievably stupid show. And the host is supposed to be a genius? He is a genius at somehow keeping this awful show on TV. Watched because I love Survivor. Take some lessons from that show, please. Will not be watching another episode.

Season one was sort of clear cut and enjoyable to watch, but the finale and it's rules were horrendous. How can one person get to "time out" of a challenge puzzle and then get to move on after 30 minutes, but another person on a different puzzle must solve their puzzle? And to throw a random puzzle that most people don't know how to play into an ATHLETIC challenge was just rigged.

Season 2 is very confusing. I watched about 30 minutes of drama and chat and about 7 minutes of actual "Challenge" type action. The rest was commercials. For some reason just because you were on Big Brother, now makes you a Challenge type athlete. It's hard to watch.

Happy to see the focus on the challenges. Some of the showmances were annoying and distracting from the show and other relationships that were centered around the competition, The screaming at each other and petty jealousy seemed so planned. Bringing people back for multiple seasons is fine, but it seems to add to the make believe arguments. The competition component brings out rivalries, but they seem more genuine than past seasons. Having competitors from other shows definitely adds to the fun and watching them interact with each other is fun for those of us who watch the other programs. (Survivor, Big Brother, etc). Keep it up, CBS!

I tuned in because I love Survivor. I will not be tuning in again. Tyson - and maybe Danny - are the only contestants saving this show from becoming unwatchable. Big Brother and Love Island are notorious for casting people that are vapid and fickle. The lowbrow drama they bring to the episodes seems forced, and the quality of the shows is rather cheap and amateurish overall.

I've watched BB, TAR and Survivor since their inception and I have watched them crash the last couple of seasons due to Wokeness. I have also watched The Challenge for the last 30 seasons and have loved how nobody cares about anything but playing the game. Thank you TJ for saving the CBS reality shows. Would have loved to have seen Bananas and Aneesa and the rest of the Challenge family but that would not have been fair to these newbies. Can you just imagine what Wes would do to these people! Best CBS reality show since Big Brother season 2.
