Battle Camp

I am only in episode two. The real emotions, dynamics plus supper editing and music. I could not hold back even though I was in a public place.

I am a Survivor guy watched seasons 1-28, this is different. As one cast member said, too many ways to lose and just one way to win.

I might come back to complete my review once done.

Loved it!!!

I basically just watched this in search of new reality competition shows since I've been waiting forever for new episodes of The Amazing Race and The Floor. And I totally loved it, rewatched it again and followed the cast as well.

It was interesting due to the show's premise and backdrop, but what sealed the deal was the cast. The cast chemistry was phenomenal and the music actually slaps - tbh, one of the few shows I watched that did the background music right...I actually ended up watching some of the shows the cast were in especially Georgia's!!

Totally recommended for people looking for something fun, interesting, and exciting to watch.

All I can say, please make season 2 now!

Netflix reality shows have been a mixed bag. This cast somewhat represents that being that they're all from Netflix reality shows, but from a wide variety granted. It was boring to see certain individuals on the show crumble under the pressure of a competition show but the ones from more competitive shows managed to keep it interesting. The host is a bit generic but isn't annoying or grating in anyway and that's honestly hard to do these days. He even manages to be fairly sensitive and personable at times. Just wish he would be a bit more firm when some people chicken out or make dumb moves.

This shows major characteristic is however the wheel of misfortune/ the final wheel of fortune. It makes it unique yes, but it makes it a gamble for taking out great players who just happen to be on the board once. Not the worst flaw, it adds drama, but at the expense of having players the audience might want to see win.

Ultimately I do think this more wide variety skills based competition is a good choice for Netflix reality, even if it's very similar to *cough* The Challenge *cough*. If they can bring in cast members as interesting as Trey, Lorenzo, Shuby, and Avori again I'll watch another season.

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.

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.
