So with the aid of the FF button on the remote I managed to get through to the end of Physical 100.
One of the most visibly appealing programmes I've seen in its advertising, and one of the biggest disappointments.
The only way to watch it was generous usage of the FF button, taking out around 60% of the footage.
And this is most DEFINITELY NOT BINGEWORTHY - I mean it's one of the few series I've watched where I've thought 'oh good, another 6 days until the next episode'.
But I had to see it through to the end, I was curious who would actually win, and there I was also disappointed.
I didn't even bother to look up who it was who one, it was some apparent allrounder, a cross fitter I think it was, which does kind of make sense in a really obvious sort of way.
One thing i really didn't like about the final was how the final five contestants were ejected based on the type of task chosen.
For example, round one was a five way tug of war (below)...
And obviously the smallest guy lost - not only that the strongest two guys game first, but because they were next to each other in the Pentagon, opposite the smallest guy, he never stood a chance.
Then round two was an agility and speed game - the strong man lost, again obviously. He lost badly too, obviously.
And then in the final it was 'endless' rope pulling, but which time we had a cross fitter and a cyclist who didn't train his upper body much.
The cross fitter won, obviously, because rope work is part of cross fit training, not cycling.
Had the final game been about legs, the result would have been reversed.
So at the end of the day we have a dull programme where someone won based on the choice of the assessments by the programme makers.
I'm left with a resoundingly empty feeling and glad I used the FF button so much, what a waste of mine and everyone else's time!
