Right off the bat, I want to say I am not a feminist. I do believe it is fantastic to see women go so far in a male dominating competition; however, just because they are women, they receive more credit or praise or recognition or whatever. Take Kacy for example: she definitely made history and it was incredible. I don't doubt she has potential and all, but these last two seasons, she hasn't done much. In 2016 she went out on the third obstacle of the Qualifying Round. Then, of course, she gets a Wild Card because she is a woman. All the 2016 Wild Cards were women; it, frankly, was ridiculous and disappointing. I wanted to see a few great potential male athletes, too, some rookies maybe who slipped up. No woman who got that Wild Card went far. Jessie Graff finished, but she deserved to be there. Three women, Labreck, Graff, and Martin, were the only ones who should have been in Vegas. It's actually not fair to the men. These women are extremely strong and can do more than I ever could, but they get all this undeserved attention just for not being a dude. Not to sound terrible and anti-woman or something, but these women don't go far and aren't that fun to watch. Again, those three women were the only ones I really wanted to see; they deserved to be there, they were the best of the best. As a woman, all you have to do is make it past those first steps, and you're in Vegas. If these women could just go a little farther... I want to see a woman do great. I mean, seeing Graff was amazing, and I want to see her excel. Same with Kacy, Jesse, Meagan, or Michelle, and any other woman. The truth of the matter is, the show is almost beginning to discriminate against men. They do highly praise the men's accomplishments; that is true. The only problem is that these women are gaining a tad to much recognition which isn't really warranted.
I am extremely excited to see Jessie and Jesse in particular, and there will be nothing but respect and admiration for any woman who can do greatness on this show.
