American Grit

I absolutely love this show! I especially love season 2! In fact, I like season 2 a lot more than season 1. I love the four cadre that were picked, and I love the fact they used "vulnerable" participants. The drama and the craziness makes it so much more entertaining! It's so relatable and I love seeing all the dynamics of contestants. I also love the dynamics and the differences among the Cadre. I look forward to watching this show every Sunday! I hope that if this is renewed for a 3rd season, they design it the same way it was for Season 2.

Season one of American Grit was great. We had people who actually had grit (for the most part, minus a couple spoiled whiners) who came to compete on a physical and mental level and prove they have what it takes. It was a good season and very enjoyable and motivating to watch.

I don't know what made the producers go for such a drastic change, but season two was the exact opposite. The contestants did not seem interested in proving anything even remotely related to grit. It almost seems like there was a mix up in the casting and they accidentally brought the crew of Jersey Shore, who was more interested in drama and petty bickering than a competition of any sort. The only grit in season two was that of any viewer who managed to watch the entire season.

Bring back season one.

It's a fun escape. I think much scripted. Teams meet challenges and one member of each non-winning team has to pass an individual challenge in which one of those drops out. The physicality seems real enough Not much different than other competition shows. As it has completed filming, obviously all of them are paid something to not reveal the end, like all TV competition shows. I am disappointed the first team to be eliminated is obviously the only one led by a woman The injured competitors are also women. This is sending a macho message not all viewers will accept. Cena is impressive I do not understand the overall message, though. I do not see what is being proved other than the most fit will win

Season 1=10/10, Season 2=3/10. Season 1 had it all, physical challenges, cadres with killer backgrounds, and obstacles courses that had to be completed before the final challenge had to be completed! It made sense. Now, it's too much reality. These women Marines are so emotional (not that they shouldn't be), and the 2 cadre men are typical I guess. One is supposed to be a drill Sargent but half the stuff he says for motivating his crazy emotional team is flat out dumb. You have a high school reject looking to be popular or have a redo in life, another girl on the same team cries every episode (literally). Another chick, does her makeup every episode & could give 2 you-know-what's about the competition & on top of it, her boobs couldn't be more present in every episode as well. Season 1 was about athletic challenges and about the contestants, now it's just about the reality and helping people from people who have serious problems themselves. To be honest, these cadres look like they were the rejects in their respective branches. Im sure even John Cena is like "what the heck did I sign up for with this season?" FOX- please go back to the original premise of the show with real contestants, real cadres, and real hardcore challenges that show American GRIT!

Much of this show is awful. Arrogance, 'beautiful' people that love themselves too much, selfishness, silliness, gameshow nonsense. BUT..... I really really enjoyed it. Compulsive viewing and I found myself binge watching which I hardly ever do. Go figure!
