DEL901 February 9, 2023 Share February 9, 2023 I’m very disappointed with the challenge design this season. There has been only one overtime challenge with no women (the ice challenge) which was at least partially because it was designed based on the weight of the participants which levelled the playing field. And the women have lost every single overtime challenge they participated in. Now the individual competition is down to five men and one women. Did they cast the women poorly or are the tasks always geared to the men’s strengths? It is kind of disheartening since the women seem to be there as tokens only. 2 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/110397-tough-as-nails-general-discussion/page/11/#findComment-7863451

I liked Ilima as well, and now there are no women left in the individual challenges. Today was more geared for a woman, but then she had no chance to win with that problem today. The ladder challenge last week for example, it's harder for a woman to haul up the wood and pound in those nails. Men are just physically stronger and they are always going to have an advantage in those types of challenges. Last season seemed better balanced.

Taeolas February 24, 2023 Share February 24, 2023 (edited) So next season is filming up here in Canada. I wonder how much money Hamilton paid to get production up here? It's a good choice of a city, in easy range of Niagara Falls and Toronto (and Buffalo) for other locations, and it is probably the poster child for "Industrial City" up here in Canada. It's also in easy range of a lot of car manufacturing if they want to make a deal with Ford for a challenge. Considering Canada rarely gets any attention on TAR (because the American legs tend to be American and TARCAN I'm sure), I suspect Phil was happy to have a chance to explore/see some of the Great White North for a change. *Edit* Also, last summer, they had an advertising campaign for TAN up here in Canada, recruiting Canadian contestants. Many of us figured that would lead to maybe 2 Canadians in an upcoming season. Now that we know they filmed in Hamilton, it's more likely they're aiming to do an implicit CAN vs USA set up. The teams may not shake out on national lines but we're probably looking at an even 6-6 split between the countries. In any case, I do believe this is one of the first major US Competitive Reality shows to film a season in Canada (and not just be the Canadian spin off of a US series, like TARCAN or TopChef Canada), or a Canadian show brought to the US networks. (I think one of the dating shows may have done some episodes or maybe a season in Banff, but I'm not really aware of any other series that have fully filmed up here for a major US network) Edited February 24, 2023 by Taeolas 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/110397-tough-as-nails-general-discussion/page/11/#findComment-7884685

SVNBob February 25, 2023 Share February 25, 2023 One of the things I liked about this season was the through-line about tough men showing emotion and that being an additional strength, not a weakness. Though it was mainly centered around Sergio and his family's loss; by the end, there was also the sit-down he had with Jorge where the younger man broke down about his own familial loss, Ellery breaking down when he lost OT, the 3 finalists all getting emotional seeing their video messages just before the final competition, and Mister tearing up about his disappointment that he didn't win in his post-finals THs. And there's probably more moments like these that I don't recall off-hand.

Lantern7 February 25, 2023 Share February 25, 2023 I don't think I care about this show. Well, not enough to keep track of names and storylines. Phil's recapping in the start of the episode is welcome, but I don't attempt to get that invested. I'll still watch . . . not bother to fast-forward through backstories . . but I probably won't take notes. I probably won't recognize players coming back to oversee tasks ("Wait, they call his guy 'Hanger'?"). Tough as Nails is what it is . . . another Phil Keoghan-led show CBS can neglect while putting out Survivor and Big Brother on a regular basis. Man, I hope Mister doesn't go into flashbacks anytime he sees a knot. Thinking about it, maybe there should be research into balancing the scales. We got to the final five, and only one guy had been eliminated. Like I said . . . I believe that if you write to Phil and the other producers about that and tearjerker backstories (which don't really bug me), he'd at least take things into consideration. No "People on the Street" bullshit from him. Next season: Canada! Maybe we'll be getting a battle between US and Canadian workers? I hope it winds up interesting.

Taeolas February 26, 2023 Share February 26, 2023 I think I'm really looking forward to the next season now specifically because I know it's filmed up here in Canada. Filming in the Hammer makes a lot of sense. Hamilton is basically Canada's Pittsburg; a city with a strong steel making history that had some hard times (not as hard as Pittsburg) but it's been rebounding a lot, especially in recent years. When Canadians think of an industrial city up here, Hamilton is the one most of us traditionally think of. And as far as "Tough" jobs, Southern Ontario has all the variety that California has, if not more. * Hamilton has the steel making history and normal city 'tough' jobs (concrete laying, construction, pipe laying, etc....) * A big rail network both passenger (GO) and cargo (CN/CP) for a rail challenge. In fact, most of the transportation in the region is done by rail, not by ship, so there may not be as many cargo dock views this time, but may be more railyard views. * The Vineyards of Niagara Falls are nearby for agricultural tasks (I'm pretty sure the promos show some vineyard work) * Southern Ontario is a major bread basket region in general, so lots of agriculture they could tap into however they want. * Southern Ontario (Windsor especially but also other cities) are major auto manufacturers, both full cars and car parts, so that Ford truck prize could also have a challenge at a Ford plant. * Tech "Toughness": They aren't likely to go there unless they want a more balanced challenge, but Waterloo Ontario is nearby, and it's Silicon Valley North, with a major STEM University (UWaterloo) that incubates a lot of tech startups. * There might not be as much military focus since they are on a foreign (if friendly) land, but it is possible; they could head up to CFB Trenton and touch on "The Highway of Heroes". 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/110397-tough-as-nails-general-discussion/page/11/#findComment-7886959

He went from writhing in pain to hopping up in the planter to tamp down the soil. It might have been a magnesium spray. I use it whenever I get leg cramps from hiking and biking. I just finished the series and I'm happy that Jorge won. The only way he could've won against Jake and Mister was by hauling ass and not pausing the entire time, which he did. At first I couldn't stand Jake because I thought he celebrated too much when we won overtimes. But the last few comps he was in, I was impressed how he came back from behind. For instance in the final overtime he was physically strong enough to lift 2-3 bags of concrete, and had the fortitude to know he needed to do that to win the challenge. No one lifted two at a time until he did. Larron on the other hand, moved slowly and made a couple poor decisions that cost him seconds here, seconds there, that added up to him being eliminated. Even if he was strong enough to do the task, he wasn't fast enough overall to win. An example was in the final overtime, it took him multiple seconds to climb in and out of the excavator every time, when Mister shot out like a bolt of lightning. During the jackhammer part, Larron walked over to put the iron bar into the holder and walked back. Maybe he was injured and hurting but those slow movements cost him. Overall I thought it was a good, decent season. Some of the challenges weren't as good as previous years. The sob stories did get annoying. I hope next year they cut some of those down. But I'm glad Jorge won, it was definitely well deserved. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/110397-tough-as-nails-general-discussion/page/11/#findComment-7947472

I'm also glad they mixed the teams up and didn't do a US vs CAN send up like I'd anticipated them doing earlier. The teams themselves seem fairly balanced. And it's interesting the 2 Fire Fighters ended up on the same one. Loving the Bluenoser (Haligonian/Nova Scotian) and the old guys so far. But everyone is doing well and seems to be good people so far. And damn, those challenges seemed tough, worthy of TaN. Glad to see there was legit judging of the work too. I wonder if that sod field was already basically written off. Or maybe the show basically bought it so they could do whatever would happen to it. If it takes 2-3 years to grow properly, I'd hate all the 'waste' from amateurs harvesting it. On a side note, I do wonder since TaN is filming in the Hammer, if TAR:CAN might've done a TaN/Hamilton leg 'hosted' by Phil.

Silver-hyren July 8, 2023 Share July 8, 2023 I was definitely on-board with Jessica calling Paul out in the van after the first challenge. I get you’re in a competition and racing against another team, but she was asking for clarification from someone about a task (I.e. communicating with a teammate) not standing around wasting time. Also just the words “stop talking” when said to a woman (by a man) rubs me the wrong way. I did not find his apology sincere at all. If his intent was (as he said) to encourage his teammates to keep working, he could have said that (“Hey guys, let’s keep working!”). He strikes me as the kind of guy that believes he’s the best at everything but we’ve seen now in two challenges that he’s not. It seemed like everyone was having issues with him as crew boss at the beginning. All he did was yell and get angry at people without giving clear instruction. Also have to wonder if production was behind her “apologizing” to him the next day. That said, I was rooting for Yassi to win the final challenge. 6 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/110397-tough-as-nails-general-discussion/page/11/#findComment-8067354

First as crewboss, she lets a good lead slip away by accepting subpar work on the trailer floor. Then in ot, puts the wings on backwards and took forever to fix it. The 3 ft height requirement in the individual challenge really made it harder. It pushed a lot of people to use bendable materials to get the height.

I thought the same as well, but with the way things were cut, I think they regroomed the mudpit after each round to try and even things out. Still, even with grooming the early rounds were probably on firmer territory than the later ones. At the very least I would have hoped they did a trial run or two before the actual competition so the first team didn't have as clean a track. Making the Woops was a good challenge, and changing the muddy shocks also was good. But I didn't really care for the mud race as the individual challenge. It didn't really feel like a "Tough" challenge (but slogging through the mud with a 1/3 body weight log isn't easy). Losing 3 women so quick is rough, but this one seemed a fairly balanced challenge that anyone could have won or lost. Carly lost because she fell for the power wash trap I think. If she hadn't taken the time to get the power washer (and then forgot to loosen the lugnuts before lifting the ATV), she'd have been in the competition more. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/110397-tough-as-nails-general-discussion/page/11/#findComment-8069424

Silver-hyren July 10, 2023 Share July 10, 2023 Carolina: Let’s measure this and make sure it isn’t too high! Paul: Get this [expletive deleted] string out of here! Also Paul (in the van later): There needs to be one person in charge and we need to listen to them. He can punch out any time now. I felt for Carolina. I think she wasn’t an effective crew boss because nobody was listening to her and she just shut down as a result. 5 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/110397-tough-as-nails-general-discussion/page/11/#findComment-8069691
jpgr July 10, 2023 Share July 10, 2023 I already didn't like Paul, but going over to "help" Carly finish the job was the ultimate arrogant prick move. Would he have done the same if his rival was a man? I sincerely doubt it. 7 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/110397-tough-as-nails-general-discussion/page/11/#findComment-8069983
KeithJ July 11, 2023 Share July 11, 2023 What a terrible individual challenge. It’s no coincidence that the fastest time was in the first heat and that everyone in the later heats got stuck. Even if they tried fixing the course between heats there’s no way it would have been even close to the same between heats. 6 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/110397-tough-as-nails-general-discussion/page/11/#findComment-8070358
Lamb18 July 15, 2023 Share July 15, 2023 Akeelah is one of my favorites but right now I am finding her so annoying. She blames others on her team for not working hard enough (while she did) but she caused so much wastage by slinging the baskets around and apples falling onto the ground. Savage Crew probably picked up as many apple baskets as Dirty Hands, but a lot of those apples didn't make it into the bins. Dirty Hands was much more careful to get their apples in the bins. I wonder how Savage Crew watched all those apples flying out of their baskets. I'm liking Jessica more and more. 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/110397-tough-as-nails-general-discussion/page/11/#findComment-8074909

Lamb18 July 15, 2023 Share July 15, 2023 Also hurrah for Cheryl for winning overtime! I like Marcus so sad that he lost, but at least he's still in the team competition. 4 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/110397-tough-as-nails-general-discussion/page/11/#findComment-8074939
