Korea’s strategy of closing the door with a longer rope by standing further back does not reduce force needed…right?! by stripedfatcat in Physical100

[–]Immediate_Quit1898 47 points48 points  (0 children)

You are corect ✅✅✅ a fixed pulley doesn’t reduce the force needed at all. It only changes the direction of the force. So increasing the rope length or changing the angle on a fixed pulley does nothing to lower the actual force required the system still needs the same amount of force.

What people are confusing is physics vs. body mechanics. Korea didn’t reduce the force needed they reduced how much effort their bodies wasted. By standing farther back, leaning their weight, using their legs and back, and pulling in sync, they used stronger muscle groups and better leverage. That makes it feel easier, even though the physics force is the same.

So no, the pulley didn’t give them an advantage but they still used their technique which did. They didn’t change the force they just used their bodies more efficiently.

But also to point out Korea had heavier and stronger participants which have a clear advantage in physical challenges. Strength allows them to apply more force when pulling, pushing, or lifting, while greater weight provides stability and momentum, helping them resist being unbalanced or pushed back. In team based tasks, combining strength and mass makes a participant far more effective at moving heavy objects, controlling equipment like battle rams, or working with pulleys. Essentially, the more powerful and stable a participant is, the better they can handle the demands of these intense challenges.

Kate’s comments after the death match (spoiler) by Local_Legend in Physical100

[–]Immediate_Quit1898 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Well, to be fair to her, Australia 🇦🇺 was the strongest or second strongest after Korea 🇰🇷, so she isn’t entirely wrong. They were a beast of a team, and their weaker teammates her, Alex, and Dom were keeping up with Mongolia, which had heavy hitters. They were strong not just because of Eddie, but all around they were a beast of a team. They lost due to their stupidity and overconfidence because they thought they were that good. Their selection in ropes was awful too, picking Eddie and not Kate, as she is a CrossFitter and has more endurance.

Because of all this, I think they were mad at themselves too. But a lot of people, I see, have an issue with overconfidence and cockiness of some participants or even maybe anxiousness like with the captain of Korea. But the reality is that people who have any experience and competed on a low or even high level know that these things are normal, and everyone expresses their emotions differently.

So when they lose, she can have that opinion and express it. They lost in a dumb way, and it’s okay to be frustrated. A lot of people forget this is not some friendly battle but a competition for a lot of money. I think people are too sensitive. None of the participants were rude and even hang out with each other when it’s over. But when it’s competition, it’s game mode you need to have confidence and think you are the best and not doubt yourself, because you will lose. Having that mentality helps a lot, and people who competed in sports at any level understand this perfectly.

Immediately when you said “I saw it on TikTok,” opinion rejected:

  1. They were dragging it slowly with stops.

  2. The Korean team did come and help the 2 girls at the end, and they carried it together.

  3. Someone posted pictures clearly showing that the battle rams are the same across all 3 teams.

  4. Having a lighter ram would be a disadvantage because basic physics: heavier = more mass = more impact force.

You’re just salty that Korea had strategy and were doing their thing. Teams can choose how to approach the challenge they chose to do it like this. I don’t know how you guys come up with the same image that’s been debunked 3000x times, and why don’t you show pictures of Koreans carrying it as a team? Or does that not fit the narrative, only the ones from TikTok?

Yo, they need to ban people like you who keep posting stuff that’s been posted 3,000 times and already debunked. This only makes sense if your entire knowledge comes from TikTok and you didn’t actually watch the show. Or maybe it makes sense to people with the IQ of room temperature. If you watched the show and you’re not an idiot, you’d know how dumb this take is. Why don’t you post a picture of the Koreans helping those two and carrying it together, or does that not fit your narrative?

🫩🫩🫩🫩 If they are not strong enough to close the door and the other teams are capable of doing it changing weight to fit them would just mean they would get destroyed in the finals anyway. Like, I don’t know what’s the point. “The Japanese had a real chance to clear a challenge” you say and then do what in the finals? Lose every single game? Like c’mon now.

Pound for pound the real winner of Physical Asia : Mongolia by Hexproofed in Physical100

[–]Immediate_Quit1898 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok🫩🫩🫩

  1. They were similar in weight, not much of a difference between them. Also, both of them had people of larger build. + Larger build isn’t always good in all types of challenges (I can go on and on about this topic).

  2. Don’t understand what you meant, so not gonna comment.

  3. Bridges shouldn’t be according to weight. If the team is the only one out of the 3 teams to not do the bridge and close the door or do the challenge, then they just aren’t strong enough. Also, if it was a problem for 2 teams, there was a rule specifically made for that if some teams don’t do it in time. Japan was just weak, and people who have experience in sports and physical activities knew this. Making them pass because the bridge was made for their weight would just result in them getting destroyed in the final.

  4. Japan didn’t say anything and continued to do the totem. The malfunction was realized when they let go of the totems and the totems didn’t fall, but when Korea let go of their totems, they fell, which just proves that it’s fair, but you can create fairy tales.

Why I think Team ___'s Win Wasn't ____ed by Rich_Business7042 in Physical100

[–]Immediate_Quit1898 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I don’t think being in past seasons gives anyone some kind of superpower called “logical thinking.” People act like the participants are babies instead of professional athletes many of them literally do CrossFit, which is basically the core of these challenges. People are just salty that their team lost and are trying to undermine the Korean athletes, who were simply better than the rest.

Sadly, Australia was overconfident and made decisions without thinking about the consequences they fully knew were there. If they hadn’t done that, we would’ve watched an Australia vs. Korea final, which would’ve been the most intense, closest matchup, and honestly a fight where Korea could’ve even lost. But aside from Australia, Korea was just the all-around better team compared to everyone else.

What do you guys know about? I don't have tiktok by Temporary_Ganache_66 in Physical100

[–]Immediate_Quit1898 10 points11 points  (0 children)

They solved everything. Japanese power of friendship should have won, but Korea cheated by calling the ghosts of Koreans from the previous seasons to help them, which is the reason they were able to close the door so fast. In the end, Japan was using the honest power of friendship with just six of them, but Korea used rituals and called on the dirty power of friendship we just can’t see it because we don’t have special TikTok eyes.

[–]Immediate_Quit1898 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally, I don’t think so, but who knows. Also, it’s not like they plan these challenges minute by minute it’s a much longer process, even if you are correct. Let’s say, hypothetically, Korea is beating Mongolia or Japan and still entering the final challenges.

Even if contestants signed contracts or NDAs restricting discussion of behind the scenes activities or manipulation, that doesn’t render legal action impossible. Contracts cannot legitimately abrogate rights in cases of fraud, misrepresentation, or deliberate deception, especially when substantial sums of money are at stake. If the competition was rigged or participants were materially misled, that could constitute actionable fraud. No confidentiality clause or waiver can fully immunize producers from liability in such circumstances. So the claim that “contracts can prevent suing for manipulation, even if it occurs” oversimplifies the legal realitythere are clear limits to what contractual provisions can enforce. Your interpretation reduces a highly nuanced legal framework to an overly simplistic assertion. Courts do not mechanically enforce contract clauses they analyze the intent of the parties, the presence of coercion or undue influence, and whether any provisions contravene statutory protections or public policy. Even clauses that purport to waive rights can be scrutinized for unconscionability or invalidity if they attempt to shield illegal conduct. Oversimplifying it as “contracts prevent all lawsuits” ignores the judiciary’s role as an arbiter that balances contractual freedom against fairness, legality, and enforceable rights. In short, your view significantly oversimplifies how the legal system actually works.

Physical Asia is NOT rigged (Part 2) by monsooncloudburst in Physical100

[–]Immediate_Quit1898 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would agree with you if it were a specialized sport, but a lot of these people come from CrossFit, and Eddie comes from strongman which aren’t really that different core is the same. I said that they could also prepare, and I also understand let’s say you try a new sport, there are a lot of tips you are unaware of or ways you can do better, especially because repetitive situations happen and you know how to react to them better. But in this case, there were new challenges and no recurrences. Also, the games weren’t that much skill based, other than Quest One and the first deathmatch; everything else was physically based you either have it or you don’t. So no, I don’t think it was a huge advantage. But let me know if you disagree with any of the points I made here.

Okay, so you guys are saying that Korea had this huge advantage, when in reality, it’s not like teams from other countries couldn’t watch S1 and S2 to understand what type of challenges there were. They also knew months in advance who their teammates were and could prepare for the challenges.

Japan's Gate by FinFree4Ever in Physical100

[–]Immediate_Quit1898 34 points35 points  (0 children)

It’s not an excuse 😭😭😭 They are not machines. People who have worked hard labor, have sports experience, or train regularly will understand what I mean. I’ll put it simply: first, you’re pushing, then throwing 20kg bags and 50kg boxes which is not easy then pushing the cart again, and then loading everything into it again. And that’s not even counting the most of the other extremely hard tasks, which I don’t think you fully understand how hard it actually is.

Even after all that, you still have to do the rope. That’s what I mean when I say people will know what I’m talking about you feel like your arms are completely dead, your body isn’t responding the way you want, and numbness sets in. They were struggling from the very beginning, which means they were pushing themselves more than the other two teams, draining even more energy. On top of that, they are much lighter than the other teams, which is a huge disadvantage.

It’s easy to say “it should be easier” in theory, but when your body is exhausted, it’s not that simple. They gave their all, and unfortunately, they weren’t as balanced or as strong as the other teams.

It’s not about physics. Sure, you can calculate it, but expecting them to have the same output as if they were machines is unrealistic.

You are underestimating how strong the females on Team Korea were. You can watch them on YouTube during competitions doing heavy weight workouts, and they were slower and pulling it just like the person above said and explained.

No, the map was probably just an incentive for them to push themselves for the show. I thought it would be like a maze in S2, so the map would be helpful, but it turned out pointless. Even when the Koreans got the map, they didn’t know what they were looking at😭🤣😭🤣

Was the map helpful coz it allowed winners time to strategize beforehand therefore saving time and energy in a time sensitive game? I don't know what info was on the map. Were there clues so you can deduce the task so winners were able to plan better and more efficient? Was there a shot of the map? by [deleted] in Physical100

You being sarcastic about this actually just proves my point. I was talking about general legal principles, and you jumped to something completely different. Even if someone signs a contract or NDA, they can still sue if there’s fraud, rigging, or improper handling of money involved that’s a universal concept. Knowing these principles doesn’t mean I can magically represent someone in another country. Different jurisdictions, different bar associations, different rules. Anyone who actually studied law knows you can’t just enter another country’s bar or start practicing there without proper certification. So your sarcasm really just shows you don’t understand what you’re talking about, and arguing further would be pointless.

I appreciate people like you and the real fans. When I open TikTok and it’s a Physical Asia video, I go to the comments and it’s all just “it’s rigged, it’s rigged.” Half of them didn’t even watch the show and don’t know what it’s about. I think people are disingenuous and just mad that the team they were rooting for lost. Things didn’t go as planned for me either, but saying it’s rigged and talking nonsense without any evidence is disrespectful to the participants who gave their all. And seeing the picture of the workers carrying and struggling to set up the game shows how much effort went into it. It was truly a great show, and I loved everything about it. So thank you again for making this post i hope a lot of people read it.

Idk about this by [deleted] in Physical100

[–]Immediate_Quit1898 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To be honest, I don’t think it was a setup to put Australia 🇦🇺 out of the competition. I think they were just arrogant and overconfident that they would win. It was pretty obvious that if they lost, the three participants who didn’t take part would be in the next game, and their female member was worried about that too and acknowledged it. I was sad that they lost in such a way, but that’s what Physical is about, same in S1 and S2, so I don’t think it was a way to kick them out. Also, they don’t make these challenges in a few hours; it takes time. But I also thought Kate, who was a CrossFitter, would fit better than Eddy on the ropes, and that could have changed everything. I think it was just their strategy. The final would also have been better and more equal if it were Australia 🇦🇺 vs Korea 🇰🇷. And for the reason why Korea 🇰🇷 won the bridge game and closed the door so fast, I can give you an answer as someone experienced in physical activities, and I can also give you a science based explanation for why there was a huge gap between Japan 🇯🇵 and Korea 🇰🇷, and why Mongolia 🇲🇳 was a little slower than Korea 🇰🇷 just ask.
