Anyone heard of this show? A friend sent me a link to the website thinking I would be interested because I am so into traveling and different cultures. After checking out the site it looks like one cool ass show. I would love to do something like this, maybe not the challenges but the traveling would great. ---

_bump_ Anyone watching this? ( **iluvurmom**?) It’s highly entertaining, educational (you get to see a lot of the different tribes they encounter, their culture/spiritual beliefs/etc.), and full of happy eye-candy for all sexual orientations (lovely muscle-y contestants and occasional bare-breasted native girls). Plus, it’s a reality show without irritating drama: the six guys appear to genuinely respect and support each other and get along. Next week, they go to Senegal to engage in some pretty hardcore wrestling. Should be exciting! ---

I’ve been watching it. Admittedly it’s mostly for the “lovely muscle-y contestants” but the combat has been pretty engaging as well. ---

I really like this show. I’m looking forward to the Senegal episode where the strongman of the group meets an apparent equal. And the guy with the curly red-hair just seems to be WAY out of his league when compared to the rest of the crew. ---

I love the show. It’s so interesting to see all the different cultures. I’m not as crazy about the contestants, except Rajko. _:swoon:_ ---

I do like the show, although I was annoyed that they changed the timeslot causing my tivo to miss an episode or two. So far I’ve seen two episodes, and in both they all pretty much got their asses kicked by the natives lol. Does this change? Does anyone undergo any permanent changes due to initiation (scars, tatoos?) ---

> [@Batsina Belfry](#): > > I’m not as crazy about the contestants, except Rajko. :swoon: I hate his hair. The only hair I hate more than his is that…_thing_ dangling off the end of Brad’s chin. But if he keeps his hair pulled away from his face so I can at least pretend it doesn’t exist, then yeah. Although the two somewhat interchangable ones with black hair (the BMX racer and the kickboxer) are hotter. One of them (I think the kickboxer) was up to bat in the nutty cricket game in that little loin wrap and I had to fan myself briskly. > [@jackdavinci](#): > > So far I’ve seen two episodes, and in both they all pretty much got their asses kicked by the natives lol. Does this change? How much results information do you want in terms of spoilage? None of them AFAIK have undergone any permanent body modification, with the possible exception of some scarring from IIRC the first episode when they were scraped bloody by pirhana teeth.
