One Man Army. Been watching?

  • thavoice
    Its on Discovery. Takes 4 individuals. Usually a couple military, cop, MMA fighters and such.

    They go through a speed, strength and intelligence evolutions. Each time one person gets eliminated.


    Pretty interesting show. Editing at the beginning usually shows one guy as real cocky, one as quiet and the such.


    Some of the times the actual events favor some, or not at all. For instance, one time was a speed challenge of riding in a jeep and shooting targets, then running half mile and launching some grenades. That benefited military. Another speed challenge a week was a time evolution for getting to and from a spot dodging laser scenors and such.

    I watched it once, I actually enjoyed the show. I never seem to be flipping through the channels when it is on.

    I really liked it at first but some of the challenges really bother me. The three way tug of war thing is in no way a strength challenge. My favorite challenges have been the water coffin, digging/climbing over the walls and unlocking the safes.

    Yeah..I wonder if they thought it would end up being what it ultimately became? I bet they thought they would just pull and pull as a tug of war.

    The water coffin thing was cool....that dude was in forever man, and most thought he would bail right away. That is the thing...when someone is 'weak' in an event he has something to prove and wont give up. Everyone thought he would give up because, well, he said he hated water and he is black.....but he was the only one who kept at it.

    Exactly. I'm sure they didnt think it would end up like it did but once it did they need to scrap it. My favorite momenet was the dude who couldnt see the maze right below him. I also wish they would spread the people around. Maybe one navy army mma airforce people at a time.

    You mean the one where the guy got about a foot away from the end of the maze then turned around and went back? That was funny as hell.

    There was that one that had a former SEAL...who was 50, who blew threw the shooting course but injured himself on the run to the grenade shooting. Was cool to see that old dude shoot like that!

    Yeah thats the one but they did it a couple of shows before and a guy who was talking so much trash climbed onto the platform then stared into the mountains for 12 seconds until the host told his it was directly below. The guy ended up crawling thru the maze and tapping out about mid way.
