User blog:Diotoir the son of nemesis/Ranking Extreme 1

Extreme 1 was the first of the "special" series and one that I remember the most when it was on TV, I swear Extreme 1 was repeated all the time, it's also the only Series which I still have VHS' of...aside from the Series 3 and 4 BRAVO copies I have but none from the actual time they were aired. Extreme 1 is somewhat polarised for being over the top and "fake" which it sort of is. It certainly jumped the shark but at the same time it has some of the most memorable battles in the history of the show and I personally rank the series extremely high, more higher than Extreme 2 and Series 8 in fact but not as high as Series 6,10,3 or 4. Even now, rewatching the series for my "Crowned Classics" I just love this Series so much. One of the biggest advantages it has is that it's constantly randomised so that you don't get bogged down with just one competition with each episode...something Extreme 2 suffered from and for me really affected the show, this is an advantage because it constantly shifts the show into gear.

With all that said, let's rank down what I love about Extreme 1...starting with the worst parts :P I will be doing this ranking sort of differently in a overview for each battle that takes place and what makes it great.
