A Batalha dos 100 - 2ª Temporada (2024)

Entertaining watch, but dropped in quality compared to the first season

I became enthralled with Physical 100 ever since I watched it the first time and I even introduced my boyfriend to it lol.
I was really looking forward to the second season, but I must admit I was left disappointed.

Why?

1. Episodes became longer but with fillers of "ooh" and "aah" every thirty seconds.

2. The game were unimaginative. Some were rehashed from season 1, while others mostly focused on two things - sand and bags. And carrying them. While the maze and the minecart were "different" quests - they felt the same. Both had the same general idea. The final game consisted of three games - one of which was a consolation quest for losers in game one and the second one was - yep, you guessed it - related to bags and coal this time. Episode 8 was particularly hard to get through - watching them carry a metal cask full of sand for one hour and knowing who will lose before they even step foot on the game field wasn't really what I expected if you compare it to Season 1 and the mythological games they did, which were far more imaginative and allowed players to prove prowess in their respective fields.

3. Women will never, in any way, shape or form, have a chance in this format. While I understand they knew that when they applied, it's still not very pleasant to watch men treat champions and Olympic medalists as burdens and avoid them for group quests.

4. In the first season, we got a glimpse of contestants between quests. While they were lounging, we heard their talks, they did small contests, bonded. This time around, that was cut and the "reality" part of this reality TV show was really forced.

I expected more from a show that garnered so much hype (and funds). It was an entertaining watch, but left much to be desired.
