MEA WorldWide spoke to a handful of contestants on the show, who seemed to have had a ball of a time. One of the participants, Dasha Kuret, who is an American fitness model, ring announcer and professional wrestler, spoke about the show, and how it felt working with Dwayne Johnson. "He's one of the coolest people ever. He's always got high energy. He's such a motivational individual, you feed off (his) positivity and his energy. It's pretty funny because growing up, people always say you never want to meet somebody that you looked up to because they never meet that expectation. He's one of those people that actually goes above that expectation you had. He's such a philanthropist and he lives and breathes health, fitness and positivity," she said. She also emphasized that this reality show wasn't like others and there was no backstabbing on the show. The competitors are still very good friends with each other, and are in constant touch, every day.
It's going to be a hell of a ride, so grab hold of your seats and tune into 'The Titan Games' on NBC.
