BattleBots

Love the bots fighting each other. But its a program with 40 min episodes, with only 4 matches of about 3-4 mins every episodes - And you know what that means: About 10-15 mins of matches, and about 25-30 mins of commentating, interviews, introductions, and other filler, per episode. That means that about 60% of every episode is just filler. It's sad, because I end up skipping the 60% filler and only really watching the minority of the show - What it's all really about.

So, with 60% filler, that is also the rating they must live with - 6/10.

Good show but terrible matches and terrible decisions by judges. Terrible season 2018 is. I hope the responsible people are changing in the future. They put irrelevant people on the jury seat. They act as if there is no rule book. It's all our viewing pleasure died. I'll watch it again if other people manage it. Other than that, I don't think I'll ever watch it. They constantly change the last match status and take you away from the event. A funny mistake made to unnecessarily prolong the season. Instead of doing 20 episodes, a smoother race could have been organized with a clearer ranking system. It's really unfortunate.

I really enjoy robot carnage, and this show offers plenty. But the only way to watch this is to DVR then fast-forward through the absolutely obnoxious amount of commercials and filler. I realize they need to pay the bills but the percentage of actual battles vs commercials is ridiculous. If the split were even I'd give it a solid 10 but I gotta offer an 8 due to annoyance.

It was great until rules all the sudden changed to ensure Witch Doctor wins over clearly superior robots. How sad this fun event has to be turned into lies, fraud, bought and paid for trophy taking. Robot Wars was about the robots, this is about politics. Fraud has no place in life or on my TV. Bye.

I'll keep this very short and sweet: 85% waffling, 15% actual bot fights. I find myself skipping chunks of the programme to see anything worth watching.
