Crusoe wrapped up its 13 Episode run last night. For a show I watched only to get glimpses of Sean Bean (which sadly totaled less than 5 minutes), I have to give it an overall favorable review. Oddly enough, minus the acting of Sam Neill (touted as the biggest named star onboard), the performances were satisfying. Crusoe and Friday faced pretty much the same adventures week after week, but they were so likable that I still enjoyed watching. The location shoots really paid off, as this has to be one of my highest rated production sets ever. Everything from the island shots to the treehouse setting was spectacular.

The finale left the door open for more adventures, but I haven’t heard that there was any intention of continuing the story past the 13 episodes. I wouldn’t mind seeing one more arc, but I also wouldn’t mind appreciating this show for what is was: an adventure show, suitable for all ages, with a great cast, and a few Bean moments.

  30. My name is Mike, a regular guy from the USA, and in the year 2018 I accidentally discovered one
    of the weirdest sports on Earth: Car Jitsu.

    If you have never heard of it, most people haven’t. The entire concept sounds like a joke.
    Two fighters climb inside a compact vehicle and try to grapple each other while being trapped between the seats.

    Yes, really. In most sports you have a field, but in CarJitsu your battlefield is a cramped car interior.
    That is why people laugh when they first hear about it.

    The sport has tournaments, championships, local events, and exhibition matches.

    Athletes travel to compete and try to prove who can master the unusual format.
    Unlike traditional combat sports, every movement is limited
    by doors, seats, windows, and seat belts. This leads to funny situations.

    One second someone looks like a champion, and the next second they are folded like a pretzel.

    During those days I was heavily interested in sports.
    I watched football, basketball, MMA, and wrestling.
    I also spent time reading about sports betting.

    People around me talked about betting and sportsbooks.
    Sometimes names like the sportsbook 1xbet would
    appear in conversations about major sporting events, although
    CarJitsu was usually too strange to be the main topic.

    One evening I saw a crazy highlight reel online. I honestly assumed it was fake.
    Grown adults were trying to wrestle inside a parked car while spectators were
    watching in disbelief. I laughed so hard that I couldn’t
    breathe for a moment. Yet the more I watched, the more fascinated I became.

    Soon after that, I found a local event and decided to attend.
    The crowd energy was amazing. There were fans discussing athletic techniques and sports culture.

    Some people even joked about which athlete would be the favorite if a
    sportsbook ever offered odds on the matches.

    Watching was not enough. I signed up for beginner training.
    My first session was a disaster. I hit my head on the roof, got stuck near a seat, and accidentally opened a door at the
    worst possible moment. Everyone laughed. Yet I kept coming back.

    Week after week, I improved. I learned how to use smart tactics instead of brute strength.

    The vehicle became familiar. Soon I was entering regional events.
    My friends thought I was completely crazy. Whenever someone asked what sport I
    practiced, the conversation usually went like this:

    “CarJitsu.”

    “What is that?”

    “Imagine wrestling inside a car.”

    “You’re joking.”

    “No, that’s the actual sport.”

    The funniest and wildest experience happened during a tournament a few years later.
    My opponent was huge. He looked like he could carry an engine block.
    Before the match started, he smiled and said, “Hope you’re ready.” That should have been a
    warning.

    The moment the referee signaled, chaos exploded. We bounced
    between seats, bumped into doors, and nearly tangled ourselves in everything inside the vehicle.
    The crowd was roaring. People were laughing and shouting.

    Then came the moment I will never forget.

    My opponent grabbed the belt hanging beside the seat and accidentally turned it into what looked like
    a crazy lasso. As we struggled for position, the belt snapped across the cabin and wrapped around me in the strangest way imaginable.
    For a second I thought, “What kind of sport did I join?”

    He pulled, I twisted, the seat belt locked, the door
    opened slightly, and both of us somehow ended up tangled together like a pile of cables.
    The audience was laughing so hard that some people
    could barely stay in their seats. It looked completely ridiculous.

    For a brief moment, I genuinely thought my opponent was going to crush me.
    Luckily, the officials quickly intervened when things became unsafe, and the situation was resolved
    without serious injury. Afterward we both burst out laughing.
    Spectators cheered. Even today people who were there still talk about “the seat belt incident.”

    Thinking about my journey, CarJitsu remains one of the weirdest athletic competitions I have ever experienced.
    It gave me countless funny moments. Whether people
    are discussing athletic entertainment, very few things create reactions like CarJitsu.

    When people want to hear a crazy sports story, I always
    tell them about the day I climbed into a car in 2018 and accidentally became a CarJitsu competitor.
    The reaction is always the same. But after hearing about tournaments, athletes, training sessions,
    sports fans, betting conversations, sportsbook discussions,
    and my unforgettable seat belt battle, they usually agree on one thing:

    CarJitsu is absolutely insane.
