I think the show is done very well , and shows a race that I , and many others had no idea existed. It shows teams from all over the world competing in this grueling and treacherous racing events. It is projected down into multiple stages and checkpoints. The race covers open ocean and jungle trekking as well as bicycle riding and hiking mountains and jungles. Many of these people have amazing stories and it is very nice to see a program that spotlights diversity and positivity. I see complaints about showing to much of the USA teams and not enough of others. Simple answer is that it is an American production and film crew. Therefore they spotlight them over others. I would have liked to see more of the others also but I think they do a fine job giving time to these other countries. Let's not forget logistically that this race covers vast areas which are very difficult to get film crews in and that they cannot be everywhere at once.
Bear Grylls, whom I am a big fan of Does a great job hosting the event and popping up in spots when the athletes are at there most tired which shines a light on how difficult this race really is. The athletes and teams must also build there rafts in certain areas of the race and trek all their gear with them as well. Very informative and fun to watch. Do not listen to reviews complaining about only seeing American teams. There's plenty of other countries and it's a breathe of fresh air. Well done Amazon !!!
It is still one of the best competitions but they focused a lot on few teams and put aside the sporting event. They never showed general leaderboards nor did they show 50% of the top 10 teams. I could never know in which position the Colombian team arrived because they never showed them even in a single shot
I love Survivor, the Amazing Race, and Man v. Wild. In some ways I feel then this show was tailor made for me! Amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, adventure focused reality TV shows have declined. In comes World's Toughest Race. If you enjoy any of the above shows, you'll find something to enjoy here. Exotic locations, high production value, unique teams and dynamics, and arduous tasks, this is a great show to satiate that reality TV show itch I've been craving these past few months.
Hey guys, just as a heads up the first episode is very American-centric with the stories being told. However, toward the middle chunk of episodes we do hear from other teams a lot more. Spain. Estonia, New Zealand, Australia, Fiji and even Guatamala are given time on-screen and the perspective is a lot better balanced.
Early on though there's definitely a big American slant but seriously, stick it out, it's worth it!

Incredible feats of endurance by the contestants, 10 stars for that. But the editing is one of the worst and most biased I've seen in the already pathetic genre of reality TV. They focused on about 10 teams out of 66 for most of the race, who had some back story they could endlessly bring up for emotional effect. They never even showed some of the top teams or their finish at the crossing line. Extremely disappointing editing, not worthy of this great race and it's contestants.
