I liked the low-key vibe of the show.
Besides that, there wasn't much else to it.
Felt like something that could've aired in 2007 instead of 2017, or like a cheap YouTube series version of whatever bigger shows it was trying to copy.
Even though it ran for only 8 weeks, which is really short for these kinds of daily shows, it would've been better if it finished in half the time by doubling eliminations.
I wish they changed up the parts over the pools more, and threw in more stuff to reuse for the challenges around the arena. More variety over a shorter time could've helped keep the challenges from feeling too same-y or the season from feeling dragged out.
A lot of wasted potential with the set, especially with all that vertical space. The final climb at the end was just a climb up a pole and then up a zipline. They could've done all sorts of different climbs and highwire challenges throughout the season with all that space.
I thought it was kinda funny with one of the hosts following them around with a megaphone. Funny moment in Episode 6 when Yellow Team took so long that megaphone host just laid on the floor and commentated from there.
Not mentioned in the wiki, but Raquel Becker was also on Exatlon USA 1, 5, 8/All-Stars 2, and Guerreros Mexico 2021.

A few kinds of challenges I wish we got more of throughout the series. In the Episode 40 Grand Final with the last 2 players. There were two sections over the pools, and each section had to be done in both directions. One section was a bunch of hanging holds made of short pipes at different angles, really simple. The other section was four large hanging boards with small holes and ropes. Reminded me a little of ANW 1-3. {This really hard challenge in Episode 33 involved getting through a set of grey barrels, and a set of blue barrels that seemed impossible...}
{They modified it to make it easier in Episode 35, so the grey barrels were spaced apart more and had pipes on the sides you could grab. They also replaced the blue barrels with a more doable obstacle involving a bunch of ropes...}
{In Episode 27, they introduced a simple mini climbing wall that used one-inch cliffhanger holds for hands and feet...}
{They used it again in Episode 34, but swapped out a bunch of holds...}
Funny moment in this one where one player couldn't do it, so she substituted in one of the hosts. {This awkward rope bridge in the second half of Episode 17...}
