The Amazing Race Australia (2011)
Absolute trash product for the celebrity edition
The Amazing Race Australia celebrity edition completely falls short of its international counterparts, struggling with a combination of pacing issues, garbage casting, and uninspired challenges. The show's breakneck speed often sacrifices depth, leaving viewers feeling rushed through each leg of the race without the opportunity to fully engage with the unfolding events. Unlike its more successful counterparts, the Australian celebrity version lacks the gripping narrative that keeps audiences invested.
The celebrity edition is an absolute embarrassment to how selfish and privileged Australian "celebrities" are. First off, these characters are far from celebrity status. They are glorified social media people. They are supposed to be competing their hearts out for meaningful charities, but it's clear they lack ambition and will. If these are the clowns that represent Australia, the country and its people should be embarrassed. I feel sorry for the charities because the baboons representing them don't actually care about the mission.
The choice of teams plays a crucial role in the success of any reality competition, yet The Amazing Race Australia seems to miss the mark with its casting. Some teams lack the chemistry and charisma necessary to make them compelling protagonists, resulting in a disconnect between participants and viewers. This weakens the emotional investment that is pivotal for a show of this nature.
This was an attempt to copy a successful concept in America, but ended up being a complete swing and miss. I urge the production crew to stick with selecting hard working regular Australians moving forward, as it brings more authenticity to the show.
DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME ON SEASON 7. It is an absolute embarrassment to the whole amazing race franchise!
Squid Game: The Challenge (2023)
Garbage game show
This show epitomizes the worst of the reality TV genre, sinking to new lows with its shameless exploitation of participants for cheap entertainment. The show's producers seem more interested in manufacturing drama than creating a genuine and engaging competition.
Contestants are reduced to mere caricatures, selected for their potential to create conflict rather than any actual talent or skill. The contrived challenges lack creativity and often devolve into cringe-worthy spectacles designed solely for shock value. Viewers are subjected to a barrage of forced confrontations, undermining any semblance of authenticity the show might have hoped to achieve.
The blatant manipulation extends beyond the contestants, with editing techniques employed to manufacture narratives that bear little resemblance to reality. This not only insults the intelligence of the audience but creates an atmosphere of distrust that taints the entire viewing experience.
Squid game the challenge is a disheartening reminder of how far the genre has fallen, trading substance for sensationalism. The blatant disregard for the dignity of participants and the intelligence of viewers makes it a regrettable addition to the reality TV landscape, contributing to the degradation of entertainment standards.
Do not waste your time on this show.
Untold: Jake Paul and the Problem Child (2023)
Garbage film
This whole movie is a waste of time. Netflix completely missed the mark to pick this up. All it is a a trash YouTube guy who fights washed up old professional athletes.
In less than five years the Paul brothers will be nothing, and it starts with this brutal film. This marks the beginning of their end.
This film lacks depth and conviction. Netflix did a terrible job and they should have pulled out of this project much earlier. I couldn't get past the first 30 min because of how bad it was.
These kids don't know business and it's the people behind them that help with their execution. Netflix exposes how clueless the Paul brothers are.
HUGE WASTE OF TIME.
