[Host John Cena is] smart and he’s funny when he goes off-script. He gives American Grit its shot at glory.

There’s a certain flair in the way Cena speaks, fluently, the language of military veterans. Better still, there’s genuine grace in the way he lets the veterans themselves do most the talking.

With all the crappy tv on lately i was glad to find this. This was my first time watching this show and it happen to be the first show of the season. I found it to be very interesting, I really like John Cena, funny at times. It looks like this could be alot of fun to watch.

Cena brings energy and earnestness to the hosting chores, as do the mentors. Yet barring audiences forging some unforeseen bond with the by-the-numbers competitors, American Grit seems too familiar and derivative.

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.

My family was looking forward to season 2,but it's all fun and games. Not much real action. Last year made sense in that there were hard challenges to accomplish. This year - not so much. It looks like Bachelor on sugar!

In season 1, this show was a solid 10. 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!!!
