TAN1 Ep1: "Redefining Toughness" (7/8, Hour 1)

Just watched the premiere episode(s) today. I love the diverse cast, with different ages, jobs, and backgrounds represented. The challenges have been pretty good so far, as long as they aren't biased toward one skill set I think the competition will be fair for everyone. You know the cast is all-around good when you hate to see anyone punch out. It's no fun to see Linnett's journey come to an end this soon, but anyone else's individual elimination would be sad too.

Looking forward to seeing more of Michelle, she's my favorite so far!

RE-airing RIGHT NOW ON CBS!

Now that I have watched the premiere, I definitely see some similarities between the editing style for Tough as Nails and the current one the Race has. The more inspirational-paced edit works WAAAYYYYY better for this show. The Amazing Race needs to stand out with an edit that goes back to the adrenaline rush days of 12-17, especially after this show, to be unique in its atmosphere that makes it feel like a true race among other teams, not just themselves. I guess the Head-to-Heads and the open forum U-Turn were training Phil for this moment. But please enough of those.

I love watching Michelle, Lee, Melissa, and Linnett (GET THIS MONEY! :funny:) and I'm excited to watch them in future broadcasts. They are just so motivated and definitely some of the job-site-athletes I'm rooting for this season. It's weird with how they moved Myles', Young's, and Callie's background stories all the way to the 1-hour mark, dangerously close to the elimination duel. I am a little ticked how they skimmed over Myles completely until the end, and even then, not as much as the other competitors. It felt unfair to him.

Love the competitive format of this show and how the eliminated contestants from overtime become "affiliates" rather than "goners" to maintain that competitive integrity of the show. Definitely very unique to competition shows and I really hope Tough As Nails will get a second season. It's one of those shows that feels once-in-a-lifetime and truly authentic over other strength shows like American Ninja Warrior, Biggest "Scam" Loser, or the Titan Games. The punchcards were so anticlimactic though. Could've done without the cheesy Big Brother props.

Overall, very impressed and hoping for the best to come.

Lovely review Rachel,thanks!

They are putting out casting info again...so my guess is a second season is def in the works!

Just barely had a chance to finish the premiere up until episode 5 today,

For me, the show is like a shorter Survivor "Challenges Only" version without beach, camp and jungle, also without any intense bickering social game,

What I saw was how everybody appreciate other people's work, motivating and cheering them up even though they knew they were competing each other and there's big money on the line.

Really impressed with how Phil and the producers choose a variety of terrain in order for teams to complete challenges,
I could see in the future still tons of ideas to create team and individual challenges as the show really touch the daily basis of everyday worker..

I even want to start a fantasy "Tough As Nails: Design Challenge" for fellow RFF members.. hahaha :lol:

Anyway, looking forward to see more surprise that the show has in store for us,
