The Hosts of Ultimate Beastmaster, Episode 1

okayto:

So over on Netflix is a cool obstacle course show that needs more attention. Like American/Ninja Warrior? This is better. First, because the course is designed like a giant beast

Second, because competitors can touch the water and continue–water-related disqualification only happens if all four limbs touch. I remain FOREVER BITTER that American Ninja Warrior disqualified a woman because her freaking ponytail touched the water.

Third–and this is the most important reason–there are six sets of hosts from the different competing countries and they all interact with each other. Sometimes we just get a shot of all reacting (also please notice that TERRY CREWS is one of the American hosts and he is the best)

and we [American show] frequently cut to other commentators

But they also literally go into each other’s booths! Like when South Korea brought one of their competitors into Germany’s booth with the German competitor…

More under the cut because IT ONLY GETS BETTER (also, very mild spoiler for the end of episode 1) (Link for mobile)

(Edit://read-more links aren’t working on mobile apparently. Beware. I’ve tagged this as “long post” if you want to be able to avoid it for now.)
