World's Toughest Race: Eco-Challenge Fiji

I kinda liked it.. Watched all 10 episodes but i did fast forward thought some parts. A little too much focus on some of the the american teams. I didn't even realise there was a uk and irish team until i read a review from one one else! (ps i am from the uk) Some things i found annoying: a Japanese team just suddenly appeared when they got like a min of air time when they had to call or rescue after 2 of their team got trenchfoot.

They never showed the completed leader board.

Would have liked to know a little more of the other teams in the top 10!

Hey guys, just as a heads up the first episode is very American-centric with the stories being told. However, toward the middle chunk of episodes we do hear from other teams a lot more. Spain. Estonia, New Zealand, Australia, Fiji and even Guatamala are given time on-screen and the perspective is a lot better balanced.

Early on though there's definitely a big American slant but seriously, stick it out, it's worth it!

Incredible feats of endurance by the contestants, 10 stars for that. But the editing is one of the worst and most biased I've seen in the already pathetic genre of reality TV. They focused on about 10 teams out of 66 for most of the race, who had some back story they could endlessly bring up for emotional effect. They never even showed some of the top teams or their finish at the crossing line. Extremely disappointing editing, not worthy of this great race and it's contestants.

I love Survivor, the Amazing Race, and Man v. Wild. In some ways I feel then this show was tailor made for me! Amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, adventure focused reality TV shows have declined. In comes World's Toughest Race. If you enjoy any of the above shows, you'll find something to enjoy here. Exotic locations, high production value, unique teams and dynamics, and arduous tasks, this is a great show to satiate that reality TV show itch I've been craving these past few months.

While it's a bit of overload on the inspirational stories, in the end it's worth the watch just to see who makes it and who doesn't. I have to say I was more surprised by the teams that DID finish as compared to those who failed.
