    American Grit is sluggishly paced, and plays like one of those weeks on Survivor when everyone is just waiting for the visit from their “loved ones” so they can cry and hug a little before the next test of strength.

Sadly, season 2 barely rates as a 5. I don't know why they felt the need to turn what was a truly gritty program, that was true to its name, into a cross between Dr. Phil and Fear Factor.  Last year they did Navy Seal type challenges, and this year, when they're not busy crying and whining, their challenges are to eat pureed alligator and strip naked. What a joke!!! Aside from John Burk, even the members of the cadre don't come close to the quality of last season's group.  After last season, I implored all my friends who had not seen the show to be sure to watch season 2. I'm now very embarrassed that I did that. If, by some miracle, there is a 3rd season, PLEASE change it back to the original format!!!… Full Review »
