I watched the first episode and so far I am hooked. 2 things: I see Cam wrestle for Chaotic wrestling and it's cool seeking him on TV. Second, I was soon happy when Chris lost. He disrespected a hero and a giver of freedom. You suck.

Very entertaining all the way through. Very inspiring, so happy that douchebag went home first after he was so disrespectful to a Marine who fought for his freedom & risked her life for this country. He was annoying Chris or whatever his name was....he's an idiot!

Great show. The first guy off has a lot of growing up to do. Very disrespectful kid. However, the rest fit in well. Thanks to the team captains/vets. You make us proud.
