The only show I am watching is physical 100. One thing that caught my eye is how respectful, polite & encouraging the contestants are. Barely any trash-talking & insults.
I also like , it is not just a game of strength of stamina, but also teamwork & tactics. Its sometimes MORE important how to use your strength. In one game, where they push a boat, only one team realise that the friction between the boat & floor make it hard to push, & decided to lift the boat instead. Also the same team realized how the pulley that was originally helping them get worse as the length shorten, to decide to push the boat instead. Resulting in them easily win.
When I am not watching, I find myself you tubing some of the contestants.
My favorite is Song-Bin aka Iron bin, who wore an ironman helmet (with approval from Marvel) in his gold medal run in 2018.
I've heard Yoshihiro Akiyama is one of the contestants. He was a very successful an popular fighter who fought in a number of high profile organizations (UFC, K1, ONE, etc). He was a pretty big celebrity in both Japan and S. Korea, I was a fan of him when he was still fighting. I've wanted to check the show out to see how a dude close to 50 does in the competition!
