Obscure Competition Show Rankings: Finale
Another day, another rankings list. I do appreciate everyone who reads this and it's a lot of fun when I stump a lot of you on some of these shows.
16. Special Forces: This is a very interesting concept, I do feel it has a shelf life. There's only so many times I can watch celebrities do these challenges before I get bored.
15. Snake In The Grass: I would much rather this be a continuing show rather than a one and done episode each time. It was a fun time to see the tv legends again though.
14. Tough As Nails: This is a very good show. I do wish the show evolved some more with higher stakes to keep me fully invested.
13. The G.O.A.T: This has everything I love in a show. Tv All-Stars, satire against reality tv and good strategy. They need more seasons for this to be higher though.
12. Extracted: Another show that I like, but I feel grows stale after a few episodes. It's my least favorite survival show unfortunately.
11. Redneck Island: This show was so much fun, the later seasons aren't good though which is why it misses out on the top 10.
10. Silent Library: Omg, this show is the epitome of hilarious and stupid tv shows. It does fall to this low because all the rest are just better competitions.
9. Forged In Fire: I wanted to put this higher because it's such a unique show. The show does grow stale and doesn't evolve like I wish it would.
8. Hunted: I'm just basing this off the U.S. version and that only had one short season. I wish more people watched this because I thought it was a crazy cool concept.
7. Steve Austin's Broken Skull Challenge: I loved this show so damn much. It needed more seasons because I just want to see more Steve Austin drunk and making fun of people.
6. Supermarket Sweep: I loved the original show so much and it would be higher if the the remake wasn't such a flop. They needed to leave perfection alone and they didn't.
5. House of Villains: This may be low to some people, but it has a lot of flaws. With some refinement it may become one of my favorite shows on tv.
4. Taskmaster: I love controversy. With a show that's been going on for so long, a lot of the episodes aren't the greatest. This is still a top tier show, but not in the top 3.
3. American Gladiators: I loved this show so much and once again they remade it to death and it ruined the original flare of it. Still it was an amazing show.
2. Inkmaster: The curse of having so many seasons is that a few have been bad. This is still an incredible show that is one of my comfort classic.
1. World's Toughest Race: This show was batshit crazy and I loved every minute of it. If you haven't seen this, look it up and binge it all right now. Go, I'll wait for you to watch it.

My favorite time of day, telling you youre wrong. Jk Its hard for me to compare Supermarket Sweep to Hunted to Forge in Fire. They are three different genres in my mind. Also, why are there so many amazing shows with limited seasons/episodes!?!?! With that said I more or less agree with your commentary and rankings, except HoV which I just have never gotten all that in to.
wheres chase and capture
o_o chase was a fun show, but only had 6 episodes so it did miss the cut. Capture will be on another ranking list soon
o_o !!!! Yesss, these!
