Physical: 100: Underground

Second season with the same premise as the season one: 100 competitors, all known for their well-developed physical attributes and physique, go head-to-head in various individual and team challenges, or 'quests' of strength, balance, agility, endurance, willpower and strategy.

The team events could also use far more cooperation between different skills (like some agility as well as brute strength) and the "turn on your team mates" episode would have been more interesting if alliances between different teams was possible rather than just a "each of you have to pull this giant thing really far". Also, I'm not a fan of the "grab the ball and turn turtle for five minutes" challenge that shows up again this year. It's not as compelling on the different arenas as they try to hype it up to be.
Final thought -- the trash talking was less respectful this year, possibly due to having more muscle-bros and fewer professional athletes. One of the parts that I really enjoyed in season one was how all of the competitors spoke so highly of each other and what an honor it is to challenge them even if they lose, and less about how much they were going to beat them because they are the absolute bestest best at being the best.
