Kaycee Bills I absolutely love this show! I especially love season 2! In fact, I like season 2 a lot more than season 1. I love the four cadre that were picked, and I love the fact they used "vulnerable" participants. The drama and the craziness makes it so much more entertaining! It's so relatable and I love seeing all the dynamics of contestants. I also love the dynamics and the differences among the Cadre. I look forward to watching this show every Sunday! I hope that if this is renewed for a 3rd season, they design it the same way it was for Season 2.

getting2me the first season of this show was very good. It took in shape people and made them accomplish military style drills and situations. The cadre were also of the highest caliber. This sophomore season has not fared well. They've turned it into more of a Doctor Phil feel good show. They've taken average or below average people off the street and they're trying to "help" them with their problems. Even the "cadre" have their own problems. They decided to put 2 "hardcore" women marines in the cadre and they are anything but hardcore. I keep expecting to see them cry every episode just like 2 of the contestants that cry every time the camera is on them. Like I said, first season was really good, this 2nd season, not so much.

harterjond This show is exciting, and enticing to watch. I can see where some people lose interest. Just due to the lack of motivation this country has anymore(obesity rates show this). If you like Spartan team challenge or American Ninja Warrior, I personally think you will like this show. It has a humorous side to it with John Cena being the main show event holder. I am confused on how anyone that enjoys watching anything, physical, military, or just ruggedness would not like this show. The outdoorsy type of show that you would expect to show what the American people can endure, one girl literally pushes herself so hard her body shuts off when she is doing the ice bucket challenge. If even 1 out of 10 Americans could push as hard as she did at anything that they tried I believe that America could once again become a great nation. by that I mean no disrespect to anyone, but if we can coddle people that think they have a disability due to the fact they are to lazy to motivate themselves to get up and exercise and overfeed themselves and there children. That is not American. American Grit really just shows you how far the body can go if you push it. John Cena does an amazing job with this show and I hope it goes on to several more seasons

mikey_editor It's a fun escape. I think much scripted. Teams meet challenges and one member of each non-winning team has to pass an individual challenge in which one of those drops out. The physicality seems real enough Not much different than other competition shows. As it has completed filming, obviously all of them are paid something to not reveal the end, like all TV competition shows. I am disappointed the first team to be eliminated is obviously the only one led by a woman The injured competitors are also women. This is sending a macho message not all viewers will accept. Cena is impressive I do not understand the overall message, though. I do not see what is being proved other than the most fit will win
