Battle Camp

I love competitive shows like The Amazing Race. The first one I've ever watched was actually Fear Factor so when I heard about this show I decided to watch it. I thought it would be similar. It was not. Couldn't even finish the first episode because the people are so shallow and stupid. They all think they are the best ones yet all they do is scream. It's all so fake. If the participants aren't interesting then the show is never going to be good. Also, why are they showing us their snot and spit? It's disgusting!!!! This was just awful! Do yourself a favor and avoid it at all cost! Another failed Netflix attempt.

I love this type of reality game shows, but this one is mediocore at best. The casting was okay, however I only recognized like 4-5 people. The major problem was game vareity, and creativity... I can't believe how uncreative, and boring were the games.... like a spelling contest really? AND reuse of previous games within a same season??? I guess that happens when you spend the 99% of the show budget on a huge tower.... The wheel is another thing, eviction based on luck? Interesting idea, but one of the contestant said perfectly... just stay silent, dont say anything and you will be fine.... if thats the best strategy in a game, then there is something wrong with the rules, because if you want to avoid being on the wheel, of course you just need to stay away from as much as possible from the other players, and just lay low....so there is a much to do for the next season(s) but it can be better.

Not enough development and far too much terrible music. Like ear bleeding bad music. I don't want to put in the effort in typing 500 more characters because this show isn't worth it. The show was already enough effort to watch because it was so boring. Every time something interesting started to happen, the show cut to two minutes of nauseating alt-rock-pop noise and panned around to scenery or "hot" body shots of the competitors. These shots of shrubs accompanied by "edgy" tween bops of the early 2010s encompassed about half the shows screen time. I can enjoy mind-numbing, petty "reality" TV, but this was just not good.

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.

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.
