My wife and I started watching this last year for the comedic interviews but we actually like this show now. I watch 0 shows regularly and spend possibly 45 minutes a week watching tv but this show changes that.

Anyone else?

Yup. We watch it.

I've had the idea it would be fun to have some sort of challenging obstacle course for adults. I'd pay $5-10 bucks to take a crack at a slightly watered down version.

Watchers in my house: me and 2 sons. Enjoy it. Couldn't do 85% of that stuff.

The Japanese one makes the American one look tame- that being said- I could fall off the first obstacle pretty good and that's about it. There was an american girl not long ago that SHREDDED the AMW course and became the first woman to qualify for Mount Midoryama. She was badass.

My kids love it. It's a fun show. Way better than most of the reality drivel on TV these days.

mndsm is referring to Kacy Catanzaro - all 5' and 100 lbs of her.

Thanks for reminding me. I watch so little TV I forget about this one. Love it!

We DVR that show. Skip the interviews and get straight to the nitty fall in the water gritty.

I enjoy the show. The contestants have some serious grip strength.

I just started watching this season, it is the only show I watch regularly as well. Those guys are nuts.

Yeah her. It was captivating watching her work. Like it was no thing for her to do it. It was amazing.

Good show. The amount of upper body strength required for the last course is insane. Anyone who is going to finish that is going to have to be pretty light and have LOTS of rock climbing muscles.

It's also pretty crazy to see some of the contenders be knocked out by simple mistakes.

Watched USA vs the World last night. Sean McColl was pretty awesome to watch, I felt that the gymnists were good, but the professional climbers were just amazing.
