We Are the Champions

Cheese ball : Wacky sport in England, ending was thrilling. Best line was Men are three times stupider then women.

Chili eating : Ed you're evil and Dustin is inhuman.

Fantasy Hairstylist: really a fantasy indeed, there is something about it the black community

Yo-yo: Kieran, evan and Betty story was inspiring

Don dancing : Fun and cute

Frog jumping : Can't make sense, how can this even possible.

Amazing vignettes about quirky people participating in quirky competitions. Wonderfully shot, with fantastic narration by Rainn Wilson.

That said, there's a moment, around the 6:30 mark of the second episode, that is so eye-rollingly cringe, you'll break out in a slow clap. The pretentiousness displayed was pure lolz.

Other than that, an engaging series. Hopefully there will be more episodes to come

I was put off after a couple of episodes. It felt really insulting, but in that disguised and nasty way - not obvious but subtly depreciatory and belittling to the real people involved. The narrator was annoying.

I read the reviews before I wrote this and agree with the Cheese Rolling being the best episode. I can not believe anybody would give this 8, 9 or 10 stars. Perhaps the positive reviews came from family or friends with those involved?

The Cheese Rolling was fun and I would watch more of that. I must agree with another review I read and confirm it felt like a college video. A bit amateur. I found myself reading wikipedia to get info about this activity because the episode was useless in this respect.

Regarding episode 2, this was an opportunity to help chili eating be taken seriously and there was something very strange about the chili episode. It felt like it was all about promoting an American chili queen and did not focus enough on the actual winner called Dustin. Quite obvious this episode was all about America, Ed Currie and the new 'underdog' star of the whole episode the US chili queen much like an advert. Unfortunately there were only a handful of actual known chili eaters in this contest which made it lack validity. The show hyped up some people who were not very good at actually eating peppers and did not come close to winning.

I watched around 10 minutes of episode 3 and decided to stop watching any more of this series.

Gotta love a show that highlights the real oddities of the world and the people that cultivate and celebrate them.

After watching the trailer, I told my husband we should definitely watch this show because for sure we would "pee" ourselves laughing. To my surprise what I expected to be an hilarious show, turned out to be such a lovely story about different dreams, life purposes an out of the ordinary ride to the passions of other people. Instead of laughing out loud, I found myself cheering for pretty much everyone who appeared in each episode. The narrator (Rainn Wilson) tells the story brilliantly and in the end of each episode you find yourself smiling at the tv and really meaning a "good for them".
