Ultimate Tag

Good lord,... who looked at the "sport" of tag and thought,.... Let's make THIS a television show! I'm sure nothing can go wrong....

I'm going to preface this with something simple. I lasted TEN minutes into this show,... and during that ten minutes there were two complete rounds. Now,... let's look a bit deeper. The rounds were maybe one or two minutes long. The rest of that time was showcasing individuals who,.... wanted to play tag.

I swear that this was attempting to be something akin to American Gladiators, but they lost budget before they started and someone just went "Hey,.... I know we're busy, but do you guys want to play tag?".

The announcers are absolutely cringeworthy in their talks, saying things such as "This might be the fastest tag in the history of the show!!!" IN THE FIRST EPISODE. Of freaking course it might be,.... since there was MAYBE one other tag before it.

I'm not saying that any reviewer that gives over 4 stars is being paid to,.... but that's quite the score to give something so little effort was put into.

I mean let's be real: it's just an overhyped version of tag. The Watt brothers must have come up with this show idea, because otherwise I can't figure out why they were chosen as hosts. And the competitors take this thing to a new extreme. I guess this is a good show for hardcore sports fans and competition show fans, but otherwise I don't get the appeal.

This is fully ripped off sports from wct and convert it into dramatic show. The tagline is also stolen how fox can do it. This is really stupid multi entertainment company.

Big fan of JJ Watt , spectacular person and football player. Wish he would have passed on this one. Premise seemed fun, then it falters from there. Unfortunately just not at all engaging and absent a few exceptions, taggers and taggees just try too hard to be tough and clever in explaining how worthy they are to be there. Full disclosure , wrote this after 5 minutes as that was all I could take.

The camera is all over the place, you can't keep track of what's going on. The announcers contribute nothing. The participants are all hyped up, they should be screened for performance enhancing drugs.
