Fittest in Dubai

Who actually pays money to go watch a bunch of people flop around on bars, bob around in the ocean, and run on a treadmill? That's literally an event, running on a treadmill. At least stick these people in a cage and pin them against each other physically. Most of them cannot even swim. Just dumb.

For starters, the UAE is surrounded by the Persian Gulf, it is not an Ocean it's technical a sea... secondly, the word "Buoy" is pronounced "Boy" not "Buwee"... Nothing irritates me more than presenters mispronouncing words and not presenting accurate information to the audience...

They didn't even tell you what each workout was, much less show any of it (the work, effects, drama within the event etc). It was just the banter behind the scenes. The older Crossfit shows are much better.

Best doco yet ;) this is the best thing since slice bread, ya'll should watch it again, it covers everything we needed to know where the film wasn't too sure or too long. The film work and interview styles are unique too.

The first 20 minutes looks more like a travel advertisement for Dubai, they hardly even show the competition. Just interviewing the athletes and organizers, then showing the scenery. A few short clips showing the competition. They never show one event from start to finish, just a few tiny clips.

The rest of the show, more interviews with athletes and organizers, tons of time showing them warming up, getting interviewed between events. A few short clips, 4 or 5 seconds, of them competing, interspersed with interviews with the athletes repeatedly telling how hard the event was. Then another quick look at the leaderboard before going back behind the scenes with interviews with athletes. Athletes lying on the floor, athletes eating, athletes riding in cars, all talking about how hard each event they did, (the events they don't show us). Clips of them training the prior year. A few more shots of the city night skyline. More interviews with the event organizers. Rinse and repeat. Then the que the sad music and sad interview the athlete who had to withdraw from injury. This is not a competition. It's just all over the place, but definitely not a competition. Don't waste your time.
