CRUSH OVER 2023 《我可以47》
No idea how many of you watch variety shows but I have to tell y'all my new obsession with Crush Over 2023 💪
↳ It's on Youtube and Tencent WETV with subs (the subs are little out of sync on yt, it's better on wetv)
Idol Producer, Youth with You, Chuang might not survived the purge but get ready for Produce 101 muscle edition with Donnie Yen as a host 🕺

47 contestants come together to compete in multiple challenges that will test their limits.
(Can't fit them all in but here's some screenshots of some of them)
The premise is a little apocalyptic cyberpunk-esque. Contestants will embark on "a journey for the true strength" upon boarding the Ark of Infinity. The voyage will last 21 days. The final ten people standing will get to fight the Infinity Ark Captain Donnie Yen Ip Man style.
And that is not true, I made that up , they are not gonna have a fight but it would be hilarious if it did happen 😂
One of the most enticing parts about this is that the contestants are all champions in their field. They are not influencers or traditional type of “celebrities” (apart from Santa (Into1)). They come from various backgrounds such as acrobatics, professional rock climber, firefighter, spartan, DEKA, CrossFit, MMA, UFC etc...
The women in this show are absolute beasts as well, I'm in love!!! This jiejie, Zhang Yuhan, Olympic competitive swimmer. Ranked 7th in the initial exercise, making her the only women team leader in round one.
Shen Yajie, professional bodybuilder. Did 100x20kg bench presses in one go, highest record amongst all players on the show.
First team challenge: Chinese chess (Xiangqi)
Director: What if, I get a bunch of meatheads to play a strategic based game 🤔
And he did exactly that 😂 However! This is no ordinary game of Chinese chess. They are given an "endgame" beforehand to practice at first, they do not know which side they are on yet. The actual game will be played out on a giant board.
The chess pieces' weight range from 150kg-200kg. All members are allowed to push the pieces.
Each team gets 15 minutes to play. Similar to timed chess, after each turn, the player will be able to stop the timer. The timer here is located on top of a climbing wall, one of the team members will only be allowed to climb it after a move have been made.
There's one catch! Each member also corresponds to a piece on the board (the opponents do not know which piece is who), if the piece is removed from the board during the game, the corresponding player will also be removed from the game. As the game goes on, losing players will slow the process of moving the heavy chess pieces.
It's a race against tactics, physical strength and time. Who will checkmate first? Who will run out of time first?
The show is incredibly hyped, keeps you engaged and invested in the players too. There's currently 2 episodes out (and each episode is split into 2). Do not worry that it might be tense the entire time! There's a good amount of humour laced into it!! And 6-packs obv 💪🦵
The later exercises supposedly will mimic natural disasters such as flooding, earthquakes and sandstorms. Can't wait to see how it turns out!!

Have you ever heard of
a hundred leaves dessert?
If you search "šimtalapis" it shows up
I actually had not ever heard of it
I just looked it up though and saw a recipe, and that sounds really really good!!
Like it would be sweet and rich, but not in an overwhelming way, and just seems like a really nice dessert.
