Appalling episode
The show went back to 80% garbage filler fluff (long walks out the door to the box, human interest stories, waiting for the contestants to press a button, cringey introductions, garbage reporting on how some builders look like their bots?, etc) , 10% actual fights, and 10% commercials. If that wasn't bad enough, they had the same bot on twice but decided to hide 2 massive fights behind their Facebook paywall group.
Not to mention the questionable judging of P1 vs Shockwave fight. Apparently a tiny useless bot doing nothing but getting flung around in the air twice and running away wins over a bot that maintained aggro upside down and even damaged the hell out of the other's motor at the end. I think they need to add another judge or two to better balance things out.
I hope this episode was a fluke, as it pissed off a lot of loyal viewers as well a Discovery+ subscribers to find out they are shafted from getting to view all the tournament fights and have to endure cringey filler instead.
