The Hero

This is the BEST REALITY show I have ever seen and I am a reality show junkie!!

I originally watched it because The Rock is the host! I am glad I did! He is funny and an inspiration!

I agree with the other posters that this is must see TV! I can't figure out why one reviewer gave it only a 2 rating??

This show should be shown in high schools and in colleges because it shows how people really are.

Last tidbit. Something about this show goes past just reality TV. Watching it made me access what would I REALLY do if I was faced with some of the choices given to the contestants in this show!! This show makes me want to overcome my own personal fears and anxieties in real life!!

ENJOY!!!!!!!!!!

Let's face it. We've seen all kinds of reality shows in the past. The world can not exist without one of these. The Hero is a show that questions the limits of a handful of normal people with uncountable problems in their everyday lives. The show, hosted by The Rock, examines the physical and mental abilities of these individuals. It tests them to the point that they break into nothing but pure human beings. When we walk down the street, we see people who we assume to be happy. But, are they really? Are they happy with what they have? Are they able to survive the challenges that their lives shove at them? Do you want answers? Here are a few people not afraid to reveal such things to America. In the end, it is America that decides the fate of these people! The Rock is not the judge here. He is only the host. He provides encouragement to the competitors and puts them through tough situations to see if they can survive. To me this show is entertaining. It has drama, action, adventure etcetera in it that make it impossible to not like! I will agree that it is similar to every other show, but I promise you that this one has its own differences!

The Hero is a show getting average people together to do some pretty high risk things. From Playing with Snakes to rappelling down a bridge to swimming a mile in the wide open ocean. Or jumping off a building. Each contest starts off with a team of people going to find the clues for the Hero's challenge which is when one of them chosen by the team takes a challenge to do a stunt by his or herself. With a additional sum of money at stake on the last show it was sixty thousand. The winner of the Hero challenge can take the money or put it into a purse which grows and that's for the team. The Rock will show up during the challenges and Bribe team members and that tests their integrity and the team's trust. The Show is supposed to showcase the characteristics of what a hero is. And it's a good show that offers redemption and self sacrifice. All building blocks of what a hero should be. The Rock makes a great host for the show as it sums up what makes a hero a hero. Highly watchable Highly entertaining and highly enjoyable.

I saw the series premier of 'The Hero' on AXN and I was appalled. I love Dwayne. He's amazing and m a huge fan. But this show, it is just wrong. Just because people rappel down the sides of tall buildings and don't grab money doesn't make them a hero. Adventurous people are just that - adventurous. Fire fighters, ambulance drivers, UN's workers - now those people are heroes, real heroes, worth being called one. Why? Cause, they do not do it for money or fame or for their chance to be on a reality show. They put their life on the line all the time to save another.

Bottom line - Another reality show with stunts. Only this time the title is gruesomely inappropriate.

This show had potential to be a successful TV show but after it got near the end of the series they sort of rushed it to a final episode where the last few contestants were voted by America or facebook.

I don't know why they didn't add more episodes for the final contestants maybe it was because of budget costs or low ratings but for me that was a total letdown. So let me tell you what I like about the show when it was going great, one was I liked the Rock and his philosophy and beliefs to be a hero and thats it.

Unfortunately what I didn't like was the way the challenges are handled out to be a hero. If they had challenges where they are feeding the poor, helping the sick or have scenarios of what they would do in a real life situation it would make sense to name the show "The Hero". Instead we got challenges thats only self worthy of a survivor game show, they were rappling off high sky buildings which they did a lot and some other running around. The only thing the show was doing determining who was a hero or not was by testing temptation for money or give the money to the hospital.

That doesn't make you a hero if your completing challenges just for the sake of it, just to prove to yourself. They portray money as if its the key to helping people by giving it to the hospital which is not their money to begin with its the sponsors or studio.

Would I recommend this show no. Im a rock fan but I still felt cheated they didn't finish the show properly.
