Canada's Ultimate Challenge

What an amazingly boring competition. Season one was enjoyable, but the challenges in season two were, for the most part, about as exciting as watching paint dry. The host was just too over the top enthusiastic and the challengers seem to have been selected from a list. You know the list. Every competition needs someone whiney, a villain, etc. And can we please do away with the competitors' running commentary that is obviously filmed after the competition, then spliced in. Nothing says "scripted" like having a competitor say "at this point I don't think I can go on". All of the supposedly supportive dialog that takes place when the teams are away from active competition rings hollow. Real people don't talk like that. People on scripted reality shows do.

All in all I'd rename it Canada's Ultimate Sham Competition.
