Melissa Camacho Common Sense Media Competition celebrates the working class, with stereotypes. Rated: 3/5 Jul 17, 2020 Full Review Andy Dehnart Reality Blurred Tough as Nails spends way too much time insisting its blue-collar contestants are better than other people, but once you get past that, there's a fascinating competition with solid challenges here.

Audience Member HORRID! First off I am gay. Why is that important? I have never seen a reality show try and shove so many "backgrounds" in a show. It is annoying af! My partner and I raise cattle, and have a landscaping company. Never have I cared what ethnicity, race or social status one had! Big Brother and TAR do less searching for "different". yuck! Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
