This show brings together a bunch of over-confident and sometimes arrogant people to compete in three stunts, mostly involving height, water and eating something gross, to win $50,000. Personally, I always enjoyed watching the second stunt, which is the gross stunt. Who wouldn't be intrigued seeing a person try to consume live bugs or spoiled animal parts? Just never watch this show during or after a meal (like I did a few times). The other stunts the involves water and height and other features like racing on a trapeze were entertaining at times, but can get mediocre.
This show would occasionally bring on celebrities like Daniel Baldwin, Kevin Anderson and soap opera actresses. They are worth-watching, doing something out-of-their-league for a change, and it is notable that they're playing for charity.
This is one of those shows that I have to bring myself to see because I do not want to miss any episodes and do want to catch in all the action; never know what crazy stuff an episode is going to dish out. Great entertainment at times, especially the gross stunts, but could take a toll on a contestant's self-esteem and a person can get ridiculed live on TV.
Most of the macho jerks and dumb-blonds who think muscles and smart-mouths can win the competition end up losing, which is, I think, ironically funny!
If you catch reruns of this show, watch on an empty stomach.
Grade B-
