Ever seen a person win a sporting competition on performance enhancing drugs? Yeah. That's literally all that happens. The dude taking testosterone won. Big surprise. Lack of any cool shots the whole time too. So no cool shots of them clipping in to things or anything. I saw him drill a hole and shove one of those ring things if that counts. But that wasn't even part of the competition and even if it was it doesn't count. Plenty of cuts to other closeup shots but no just views of them climbing the wall so you can get an idea of how they climb or if they're fast. You only have the judges saying "that was fast" as they finish the climb and you're over here wondering why every shot took that out of perspective totally. No education on climbing or how it really works so we're over here asking things about how the gear they use works rather than watching the show and having literally ANY of that explained to us. Just poorly planned it feels like. Just completely underwhelming. I feel like I've seen Red Bull commercials that were more action packed and had better shots. This felt like it sounded like a good idea but then you see the execution and it's just bad in every way. Not to mention they let somebody on testosterone win. Then they say things like "wow he just does not rest". Uhm... Duh.
