World's Toughest Race: Eco-Challenge Fiji

I kinda liked it.. Watched all 10 episodes but i did fast forward thought some parts. A little too much focus on some of the the american teams. I didn't even realise there was a uk and irish team until i read a review from one one else! (ps i am from the uk) Some things i found annoying: a Japanese team just suddenly appeared when they got like a min of air time when they had to call or rescue after 2 of their team got trenchfoot.

They never showed the completed leader board.

Would have liked to know a little more of the other teams in the top 10!

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.

All I needed to see was the name Mark Burnett for my interest to be piqued. The legendary producer behind Survivor, Amazing Race and other shows has created another hit series!

The show is not necessarily about the race. The show may seem like it is about the rugged terrain, harsh landscape or unbearable climate, but it is an emotional story at heart. There are teams racing for the LGBTQIA+ community, people afflicted with Alzheimers and disabilities to prove that anyone can do this. I myself was inspired to see these emotional stories.

I love Bear Grylls as well. I have long thought he has an iconic voice and he provides an energy, a zest that adds to the exciting feel of the show. Grylls interacts with the contestants and motivates them to keep pushing, to dare to dream.

He talks to all of these different countries from all over the world. I felt as if I was watching the Olympics, seeing the variety of diversity onscreen. I was amazed by the camaraderie and friendships that began as well. The show is heartwarming as it focuses on relationships, which is more heartfelt during this time of social isolation.

I definitely suggest the show. The series is able to capture human grit and what it takes to survive. I do not want to test myself in that way, but I respect everyone that did so. Watch the show and experience Eco-Challenge Fiji!!!

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 !!!

Team Onyx, first all African American + LGBTQ team... however they were totally useless. Difficult to watch Americans being typically over dramatic. Should have been much much better. So over Woke America.
