Knife or Death

The 2nd part of tonight's episode reinforces my opinion that the longer blades/swords provide a distinct advantage on the courses as they currently stand.

On Dead Run, the reach definitely helps on the first obstacle, where you have to stay in the circle while the targets rotate outside. With ballbuster, it's easier to remain in the same position whereas shorter blades require the wielder to stretch for balls on the far side.

In Flight Line, you have zero margin for error with a shorter blade on that U-shaped tube. The longer blades with a significantly longer cutting edge definitely have a big advantage.

Props to the guy wielding the messer, as he definitely has good eye-hand coordination and skill, but those swords have definitely helped many of the wielders overcome contestants who potentially had the physical advantage.

Dr. Dan got cheated! They hexed him by anointing him the "winner" before Dead Run! The other Dan made at least the same number of penalties if not more! I wasn't exactly counting but it just seemed to me that way! I am extremely biased! Bill Goldberg mistook the duck for a turkey??? :confused:

Dr. Dan had 11 penalties the other Dan had 10. IIRC, the other Dan won by 5 seconds. (or was it 6?)

It seems to me that they make some runs a bit easier. That turkey was a lot easier to cut that dolgurn rope which no one got through.

Try YouTube in a few days. I found Mecha's episode on there the other night. It was posted in a funky format to get around the copyright, but it was easily viewable.
