Million Dollar Mile

Who knew? Turns out The Running Man was a documentary.

When I saw the previews I was hyped! I love OCRs. But after watching the first three, i'm a bit disappointed. Tim Tebow's an awesome guy, but not the best game show host. Should've been LeBron instead. The commentators are ok. Also, the contestants are getting dominated easily. Episode 3 finally featured an athlete who can compete & actually win some money! Hopefully that'll bring up the ratings.

The athletes are awesome, though.

Tim Tebow's goofy a** killed it for me, get a diff. host please and the commercial tricked me. No LeBron.

I like reality shows with people working and overcoming obstacles such American Ninja Warrior, Ultimate Beastmaster, and the like. The poor cenceptuality of this show is the runners go through the course for the first time, the pros have done it many times giving them an unfair advantage. Because of this I find the show a snoozer and it feels rigged for people to fail.

At its core, this is a competition between two athletes, with one getting a two minute head start. Given the disparity in the quality of the athletes, probably few will get past the first obstacle.

I would like to celebrate those who dedicate themselves to superior fitness and performance, but I think this show needs more suspense. Maybe if they gave them a four minute lead? Or more?
