The concept of the show is great! The execution is terrible and completely biased against women. Its refreshing an idea women and men competing together however if your going to do it at least do it properly!
1) 90% of the challenges were strength based which obviously favours men. The show states they are looking for the best overall physique however ignore flexibility, balance, coordination, agility which are components of a well-rounded physique which the women would have had much better chances of succeeding .
2) The proportion of men to women in the beginning of the show was extremely uneven. Much more male contestants than female.
3)Furthermore, I believe they could have broaden their search for female contestants including more diverse range of female physiques and foreign women as well as Asian women since they included foreign men.
4) Since the majority of challenges are team based women were disadvantaged because they were viewed as weaker and so were forced to team up with weaker contestants reducing their chances of progression even further!
The show should revamp its challenges or they should call themselves a strength competition not overall physique competition.
