I don't like the idea of the hosts having such strong personal opinions about the competitors on their show. If they don't like people bailing, then design the show in some way that incentivises sending. At the end of it though you can't force someone to want to climb. If they decide something is sketchy and they've got far enough, they should be within their rights to bail. Having everyone rip into Deco for gives a bad look to the rock climbing community

Exactly.... it's only a competition. Not life or death. Sharma actually brings himself down by doing that. And coming from someone who has climbed as long as he has, he's old enough and climbed long enough that he should know better.

right, not wanting to take a sketchy fall in the rain into the ocean is not a bad strategy. If Sharma wanted people to take this show seriously as a competition, he can't complain when they make competitively sound decisions that don't get him "psyched". If he wants this to be a big fun expedition and not a competition then maybe communicate that up front?

I was getting pretty triggered by how much they laid it on Deco - it's a comp, but you can have a good time.
If you look really closely you can see Deco smuggling a pneumatic hammer up the climb to break the hold.

I guess the producers thought this show needed someone to be the punching bag #JusticeForDeco
My personal thoughts on the show was that it wasn’t bad, it just wasn’t done right. Although it was filmed great and the idea was solid, it just didn’t capture the essence of climbing or it’s community. Deco was the closest we got to that. They said on the deep water solo he wasn’t psyched, but he was, he literally smiled at the camera and jumped off, he was having fun, and that resonated with me and other climbers. The one thing you shouldn’t do to a climber is to hate on their way of doing something when it works, as there isn’t one beta. I just couldn’t stand how the other climbers kept on criticizing each other, I know it’s a game show, but that isn’t anything close to the laidback, relaxed, and humble community climbers have. Again, deco was the most humble dude there, he’d be the guy you just vibe with. Then again, my point has been stated. Maybe I’m just salty they made them fall into the water WITH THEIR SHOES ON LIKE NO.

They were filming for months, Deco said that he was in the show for 3 months
All looks like Chris was not happy to lead the show alone as he probably expected some big support from more experienced showrunners. And he stuck there with all these noobs instead of doing some nice climbing projects pretending like he likes what he's doing there. And his emotional state was far away from that guy (Daco?) who was just there to hang out with other climbers like he usually does in his gym. Looking at someone who is having good times with no respect to your mad mood is frustrating :D Props to Daco for not throwing out loudly everything he had in his mind back at those "supportive" loosers. Good self-discipline, it is very useful in this sport.

Well to be fair I mean it's a competition for a single sponsorship, these people were literally fighting for their dream job. I thought it was a bit much the way they all ganged up on him but even he acknowledged that they were right and it seemed to really change his mindset. If you want to be a pro climber you have to be willing to try as hard as you can.

If you're there just screwing around and having fun you're kind of wasting a spot that someone else who actually cares should have is the way I see it. If it were just for a money prize and nothing else that's one thing but they're literally competing for a career as a professional climber and it's a shame to deny someone a chance at their dream job if you don't actually care about it.

@@Nightwishmaster I see your point. still, though, I don’t quite believe that that guy was “stealing” anyone’s spot. He enjoys his climbing, he’s comparatively good at this and he even withstood the moral pressure of others while kept climbing better than many. I don’t believe anyone should do something just for sponsorship or money. If one doesn’t have the passion and doesn’t enjoy the activity, what’s the point even to apply to a show? It’s not a sport career where everyone is dead serious. It’s a media show with famous actor in it. It must be fun first and be also serious only for better motivation.

@@KIVagant That IS the whole purpose of the show though, a chance for someone to make their dream of becoming a professional climber come true, it's the chance of a lifetime to these guys. I'm not saying he's "stealing" a spot from someone or that he's right or wrong, I'm just saying I can understand why it would rub the other contestants the wrong way if they're all there with the dream to go pro and it feels like to them he's just there to have fun and get a free climbing trip out of the deal. You have to be incredibly passionate about climbing to try to make a career out of it and this is a once in a lifetime opportunity that a lot of people would kill for.

Really reminded me of The Curse and how you slip in some salty bulliying moments for the sake of having some type of drama.
It's honestly a good thing that the uptight and overly judgemental behaviour that seems to be popular in certain climbing circles gets called out a little, even if it was unpleasant to watch. +1!
One host had a hernia, one contestant got food poisoning and was kicked off, one got COVID and basically got a free pass, one broke a hold while climbing normally and basically got shit on. I'm glad that the hypocritical girl gave up on that climb, that dude was a better climber, and a nicer and more positive person.
Decko got robbed.
I think the thing that is bizarre is that the thing reality shows do (hyping drama, creating drama between contestants or even with the host, exaggerating not that dramatic things, taking things way to serious, pitting people against each other, etc.) felt really weird when you know the climbing community and kinda antithetical to the way we usually operate and interact with each other…
"We've all lost a security deposit or two by trying to put up a hang board wherever we live" I'm in tears 😂 never heard such a relatable ad segue in my life
I enjoyed the climbing on this show, especially seeing such a diverse group of really strong climbers. The drama was dumb though, especially trying to make deco into a heel, it actually just made everyone else look like assholes for bandwagoning on him.
The "judges" were so fucking biased, it was always clear who they were rooting for. The food poisoning thing is an amazing example.
I'm not gonna lie having a hangboard that works like one of those doorway mounted pull up bars makes a lot of sense and I'm not sure why I hadn't seen one until now.
Was fortunate enough to watch this show each week with my friends and get out the same frustrations in a group setting. We were all screaming the same things you talked about at the TV.
"I don't wanna see that shit no more" guy.... Mario, he's a coach for team Texas at my gym. I was wondering what people were talking about when they said he was an ass on the show. He's a super nice guy when I see him around.

Just ask him, what they paid him to play a jerk so the audience wouldn't notice what an actual jerk the main host of the show was. This whole drama was cover up for the main host completely failing as a human being. After you have a competitor crying from trauma you should be grateful for the following competitor being chill and doing something that eases the atmosphere. The co host seemed completely incompetent.

Thanks for reviewing this, I need a season 2 of the show so I can watch your recap.
The layout of this episode is what I fell in love with about your channel. Keep up the good work!
I told him it was like watching the view with climbing ropes. He actually responded by saying something like we strive better when we have support and are adorned. My coworkers have never laughed so hard in their lives.
Next time I am free soloing or dangerous trad climbing and thinking about bailing or down climbing... I will stop and think, what would Chris Sharma say about this?
Weirdly enough, this show is what got me into climbing. I didn't really pay attention to the drama, what caught my interest was the crazy climbs and wholesome camaraderie. Even in a competition for 100k$, they were always rooting for each other so hard. Agreed its a shame Momoa couldn't make it, would have made it even better. Fingers crossed for season 2🤞
Shout out to my route setter dom. Hell of a performance and an awesome dude! Youre the best dude!
Thanks for shortening this stuff for us. I didnt watch it, never planned to and now never have to.
Great video very entertaining would love to see some more commentary like this!
Very classy review of the show with the right criticisms loved this reaction
So if I've won already but continued to climb and ended up getting a flapper that essentially puts me out of the running for future challenges, that makes me foolish. There's a reason why boulderers will stop way before their time is up at an ifsc comp if they know they can't get a problem. Better strategically save yourself for later.
Perfect breakdown. Robyn also commentated Psicobloc last week and atleast a dozen rounds ended with people “bailing” because they had won the round
I’m not even a climber and when I watched the show I thought the same thing. Who cares, save the energy, I would’ve bailed too. This channel is awesome!
great video man
I’ve been waiting for you to review this
brilliant review of the show, a+ sir.
Another great video!!
Holy shit, I forgot how much they sh*t on Deco 😂 Poor guy
I thought for sure this was gonna be a plethora of people competing to climb up on top of Dwayne the Rock Johnson. I don't know if I'm disappointed, relieved, or just mentally unwell.
Am I the only one pausing every 5 seconds thinking up come-backs for the guy who bailed early? Like, "If you want to see me send, maybe you should make it past the goddamn crux the next time?" Or, "Oh, if you were me? If I were you I'd make it further than halfway up the wall!"
missed opportunity in the ad.. to lock off with one arm and flip off the guy who took the hangboard with the other hand would have been gold.
agree with everything you've said about the show (wtf, the climbers other than Deco just sounded mean in that first episode), and even the food poisoning elimination being unfair, but your COVID take is whack lmao. A mild cold doesn't kill or debilitate millions of people lmao

Yeah we watched 2 or 3 episodes of this show and stopped. I think like you said, the show was way too much talking, not very much climbing, and it kind of got boring. The actual climbing parts barely showed any of the technical skills so it made it less educational than I'd hoped. I also found a lot of the climbers to be very unlikable which is probably thanks to the editing but man it was not good lol.
I just found it so weird that SHARMA of all people was being so harsh on Deco for such dumb reasons, the guy is literally known as the most laid back dgaf dude in climbing, never trained for comps, for a good chunk of his career his FAs aren't even graded or named. I think there was some studio behind the scenes dude going "this is too boring we need some drama"

Thnx for making this video, was thinking exactly the same thing as I was watching the show. Ended up fast forwarding most of it. Poor Deko. He did nothing wrong but was treated so poorly in the show. Disappointed with Chris Sharma for instigating that and singling competitors out. Did not take him for a drama king. Also WHAT? They throw first time trad climbers into doing trad on the show? Even if the routes only 5.10… pretty dangerous I’d say. And is that pre placed gear I see? The filming was the only good thing.

So first 3 min proved to me that this is more a reality show than a climbing show. Sadly, that doesn't exactly surprise me.

so glad i stumbled across this channel after seeing the weird matt child vs Adam spat that only matt child is bothered about
My parents watch this and that's the only reason I know of it
really funny commentary
Imagine having opinions about the guy qualifying on a dangerous route with no lines over water where every move increases the risk of injury. Yea thats every climbers attitude when climbing. Definitely the right way to portray the sport and inspire new climbers. Go as hard as you can and never bail...... solid mentality. Also, this is pretty much bullying of poor Deco. I wont watch it just due to the fact that they try to overdramatize and berate a relaxed attitude in a activity where cooperation and relations is pretty freaking central.
