For me the best french dubbing was Yves-Marie Maurin, but he'es dead ;)

Oh no I don't agree, he didn't do justice to SILT, the tone and the pitch of his voice were not right for Dolph or the character. To me MASTERS, PUNISHER and DARK ANGEL had the best dubs but I can't even watch those anymore. What's the point when you can have play the original track?

Michel Vigné (Dark Angel) was a good voice too ... but for a young man. For dubbing a 50+ years old (and mature) man ... I have a doubt.

Actually now I've painfully seen the first episode I hope it never airs in France...

It's not very good. I don't like the way American shows like this are put together and edited. They pad everything out so needlessly. The devote 5 minutes of screentime to people eating chocolate, constantly cutting to the couples commentating on what they're doing.
Some of the tasks look the part, have some money spent. But they balance that out with some really cheap looking bits.
Dolph is funny. This is kind of a middle of the road show. It's not bad, and there's been far worse than this, but it's far too derivative.
My biggest gripe is having adverts every 10 minutes, and then every time the show comes back, it has to do a recap. It's like they edit these shows with the idea that their audience has a low attention span. So everything is overly edited. The draw everything out so long to try and put across the drama. So it's a 45 minute show that really only has enough material to be 25 minutes of entertainment.

It's better than True Justice at least. But in all honesty, I preferred Lawman. That was one of those reality shows that's just really stupidly false, but still showed a pretty interesting side to Seagal. Even that ran out of steam for me after 2-3 episodes.

I dunno how RTTS will go down. For simple entertainment it might be popular. Americans have probably become accustomed to the ludicrous way shows like this are almost always edited. Personally I fooking hate it. It's headache inducing, really dumb and a bit obnoxious. Whoever designed some of the tasks also needs to be fired.
Dolph comes across fairly well I guess. I'll be interested to see the viewing figures. I suspect it'll start strong but be about halved by the 3rd episode. That may mean this'll be just one season, but even as seen with Seagal, big viewing drops doesn't mean it won't get more seasons.

Seems like RTTS stacks up quite well against the others. Largely because of Dolph and the fact it's not taking itself seriously at all.
The Rock's show sounds just a bit too complicated. They've thrown to much in for the game dynamics.
That said, I've never been a fan of shows like this. These seem to be called poor Survivor clones, but that show itself I found completely unwatchable.
