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!

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.

I think the show is done very well , and shows a race that I , and many others had no idea existed. It shows teams from all over the world competing in this grueling and treacherous racing events. It is projected down into multiple stages and checkpoints. The race covers open ocean and jungle trekking as well as bicycle riding and hiking mountains and jungles. Many of these people have amazing stories and it is very nice to see a program that spotlights diversity and positivity. I see complaints about showing to much of the USA teams and not enough of others. Simple answer is that it is an American production and film crew. Therefore they spotlight them over others. I would have liked to see more of the others also but I think they do a fine job giving time to these other countries. Let's not forget logistically that this race covers vast areas which are very difficult to get film crews in and that they cannot be everywhere at once. Bear Grylls, whom I am a big fan of Does a great job hosting the event and popping up in spots when the athletes are at there most tired which shines a light on how difficult this race really is. The athletes and teams must also build there rafts in certain areas of the race and trek all their gear with them as well. Very informative and fun to watch. Do not listen to reviews complaining about only seeing American teams. There's plenty of other countries and it's a breathe of fresh air. Well done Amazon !!!

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.
