As someone who has seen reality TV in the past, I have come to the conclusion that I am not a tremendous fan. I know that there is a certain crowd that is appealed by these particular shows, so it's not like it's worthless. In fact, those particular shows that have physical competitions to be seen are the ones that I have found myself most entertained by. That being said, if you want to discuss my favorite competition in this regard, you'll want to talk about adventure racing.
Before anyone asks, yes, I understand that reality TV is not always "real." I know that there are directors behind the scenes as well as other people in management that have some way in how these particular events are supposed to unfold. However, it does not stop me from taking some time out of my day to watch, at least, one of these episodes. If the events are crazy enough to keep my attention, there's a good chance that I won't say anything terrible about it.
Is there a chance that everyone in every show of this caliber has gone about training in some form or another? I highly doubt this to be the case, especially when you see that they are out of breath in no time. They do not know the importance of pacing oneself, most of the time, and this is a problem to say the least. I think that these competitions favor those who are more cognitive, as they understand that they can't simply utilize all of the energy they have in one shot.
Does this necessarily mean that they should go out and compete in events like Spartan Race beforehand? I do not know if individuals have to go that far but it's apparent that reality TV shows have to be in some kind of physical condition before becoming involved in such events. Perhaps training within adventure racing can be done in smaller steps. This can be conducted without having to go about strenuous physical exertion as well, meaning that injury will be less likely to occur in the long term.
Adventure racing is something that could be of interest to many people for different reasons. This goes for just about anyone, regardless of whether it is actual racing that is the focus or the broad spectrum that is reality TV. Like I mentioned before, I may not be the greatest fan of reality shows but I know that there are those who find some appeal in them. Even I find them to be engaging at times, if not just a little bit of nonsensical for my tastes in the long term.
