Exatlon USA

The first time I ever saw this show was while my mom was recovering from knee surgery at the hospital. I’ve seen it several times since then when I’ve gone over to visit my momma bear at home. During one of my recent visits, she and her boyfriend were watching it on Telemundo. Apparently he’s a big fan. 

Exatlon is one of those competition shows where you have two teams competing against each other in a variety of challenging circuit type games.

I remember when I first saw it, I thought the obstacles were kind of cheesy. As I watched today I saw that the game isn’t only physical, but it also has some skill based games that kind of balance the scales a bit. What I mean is that I saw one dude leaving the other guy in the dust when it came to the physical parts, but then he hit a bottle neck when he had to use some catapult thing to send a ball into a net. I can’t imagine how many hours and takes they spent doing that one obstacle overall, that things looks hard as heck to land. I bet they were there forever! 

I think that Exatlon is a fun show to watch, especially once you get to know the competitors and become fans and get invested in their success. Similar to watching any sports or live reality show. I’ll tell you, these people are all extreme athletes and really fit. Their feats are pretty impressive and the show is quite entertaining. 

Have you ever heard of or checked out this show before? What are your thoughts on Exatlon?
