Didn’t watch any of it… my cheap ass waited till the following day to find out on PM….
I get the differing opinions here… I’m with thinning down the amount…. I imagine those competitors were absolutely MISERABLE three quarters through that show with all those people showing up!
If they had 2-3 stages going at once, they could drastically cut down the length of it. Have it be something like the Olympics where they cut back and forth between different events. Whatever they do, I'm fully confident they will find a way to fuck it up.
I'm fine with this to be clear, and in divisions like bikini and men's physique and whatnot it's needed because of the absurd number of shows they hold to begin with.
