Re: The Void - new water based show on ITV.
I think two for each round would be fine. Agree with Takeshi1 that this felt like it might have been the first episode filmed.
If they'd just cut one round (as 10>8 is pointless, just do 15>8) then that would give them potentially three different openers which would have been better. As I said previously I'd ditch the middle head to head in favour of a time trial round too as three head to heads back to back is rather boring.
Also think it's a bit odd that they can spare a potential £25k a week prize for this but couldn't cough up any cash for winning Ninja Warrior.

Re: The Void - new water based show on ITV.
There's no money at all for winning the UK Ninja Warrior?
I assume this show is the same rounds and all? This weekend is the last episode?

I think there's another episode but yeah all the same rounds at this point now. And yes, not a penny for winning NWUK!

Re: The Void - new water based show on ITV.
So this reached an end on Saturday. They tried to make it a home nations special by flagging up the English, Welsh, Scottish and Northern Irish contestants, but frankly that's no different to normal anyway.
Can confirm now the hosts were in the same outfits throughout so I'm assuming multiple episodes were filmed at once so they didn't have to swap out the obstacles 5 times per shoot.

Re: The Void - new water based show on ITV.
Interesting. Well, interestingly boring!
Hope if they do get renewed, which I feel is unlikely, they'll have better variety!

Re: The Void - new water based show on ITV.
What's all the anti-woke stuff in the comments about? I mean, I agree that trying to make gameshows woke is stupid and annoying, but i didn't feel this show particularly was.

Yeah it's just bottom of the barrel tabloid readers who think that any show without a white person hosting has some agenda. Shame about the axing as it did have some potential but was too repetitive and outclassed by its predecessor - I honestly wouldn't be surprised if we get an announcement of a NWUK renewal next year if the formats they put out then don't cut it either, they'll be just desperate for something that works after the majority of their Saturday night TV output flopped.

Re: The Void - new water based show on ITV.
Yeah, I saw an article about it at the beginning and I didn't care at all. That's how it should be - I don't think twice either way.
The show still sucked though...
