The end is here! On the final episode of the Brute Showdown we see the ladies take on the last three events, which include softball, soccer and an eating contest. We have seen a shake up in the standings as we progressed through the last few events, can the ladies close the gap and take the lead from our current leader, Brooke Ence?
Event 6: Softball “Hit-off”
Each of the ladies will be pitched to by an LSU softball player. They are allowed 6 total strikes and will be awarded a point for every ball that is kept in fair play. Highest number of hits wins!
Event 7: Soccer Shoot Out
The ladies will go through 2 iterations of 3 shots from various spots along pitch, with 15 seconds on the clock they will be awarded a point for every ball that makes it into the net.
Event 8: Watermelon eating contest
The ladies will have 2 minutes to consume as much of a watermelon as they can. The athlete that consumes the most watermelon wins.

[@LordSolfan]

The previous 4 episodes were amazing! But this one felt off, in that the events seemed whimsical and/or skill-based instead of general in nature, which skewed the results. And the points awarded seemed inconsistent with how they did it earlier, meaning for event 6 & 7 there were less points given out in total, and they didn't explain the process. Plus it seemed kinda stupid to have each sport being a full 4 points for winning, compared to previous events often having multiple activities tallied into one event. I think they could've utilized the talent they had on the field in far better ways to finish off the series!

[@connorsullivan1855]

Yeah in general switching from strength and conditioning events to specific sports was weird. Like even though the vertical jump and sprints last episode weren't related to any one of the women's fields it was interesting to see who did the best based on their respective specialties. The events this episode just made no sense. Whoever had some experience in that sport won. It had nothing to do with their abilities from their training as athletes.

[@keithgriffiths9864]

[@PRESA25]

When starting this series I knew none of the women. They are great in their own area but work so well together. No attitude or crap talking. They really try to help each other do their best.

I guess I just really hated this because I am not a fan of "play" sports. That's all we had in my school and it was super boring and I didn't participate.

this one was dissapointing, at least don't pick sports that they have done before if you don't want it to be skewed in someone's favor

[@jordanarvisais]

They wanted it to be skewed

[@morticianjohn]

Give them the list of challenges a few weeks ahead of time at least.

[@itschansey]

Amazing women. I legit followed Mattie on ig after this, she's so freaking COOL - it's a shame her points weren't divided separately on the athletics section though.

[@IHeArTrOcK20]

I love THIS SOOOO MUCH. Do more with women please

[@Rikku147]

Yesss, we need it!

[@chiefsoprano]

Emdawg😁😁😁

[@clementsell2818]

@Larry Myers creep. That was just so weird dude!

[@clementsell2818]

@Larry Myers huh?

[@azureavocado5195]

frfr this was greeat

[@deforesthall6396]

Olympic wrestler vs gymnast vs swimmer vs track and field would be very cool to watch! Can we make it happen?

[@dingomanz7]

wrestler would win

[@asmodaymomo5780]

Yesssss

[@dingomanz7]

@Michael Hilbe Thanks for the information. Decathlete would probably win. Is a decathlete popular compared to the general group of 'track and field', I'm not too familiar with that particular focus? Wrestlers have unmatched conditioning, excellent strength and a well rounded training regime. But more importantly they don't choke and have excellent mental focus. Gymnast lack the conditioning and brute strength compared to the others. Swimmers lack the strength. Apart from a decathlete, I'm convinced a wrestler would likely win by scoring well in all events.

[@dingomanz7]

@Michael Hilbe I'd advise you to do just a bit more research into the sport of wrestling. It's quite popular and the athletes that make it to the top are world class. Seriously scary level of dedication, athleticism and mental toughness. I think the main reason you don't see as many people choose the sport of wrestling is the fact they have to cut weight and the cardio requirements are insane. It's a tough and brutal environment with no real payday at the end of the road like you get in NFL. As for where I am in the USA and choosing wrestling vs track or soccer: For high school, wrestling is a winter sport like basketball. Football and soccer are fall whereas track is spring. So they only need to choose between wrestling and basketball usually.

[@killfacet.baggins]

Mattie and Maddy both amazing. Super beautiful

[@EternallyGreat]

Woot, LET'S GO BROOKE!!! I absolutely love this!!! Can't wait for the next set of ladies!

[@LaPulgaM]

Yeah the Softball portion was kind of meh, should have allowed them to hit their best 6 with that pitcher or use a pitching machine to make each of the 6 shots fair..

[@CamS-de4zs]

Definitely should have only count hittable pitches or a pritching machine. From what they showed Brooke had better pitches.

[@Mooshimoca]

brooke wouldve won by an even larger margin then so it wouldnt have changed the scoreboard at all

[@LaPulgaM]

@@Mooshimoca not talking about score, but if you're going to make them all do the same weight, same number of sprints at same 40yd, same number of kicks for goal at same distance.. etc u get it.

[@Caysum21345]

Yeah that pitcher was terrible

[@WANNABEandGONNABE]

Like the sport, they were calling balls and strikes and you did not have to swing at pitches that were balls.

[@zhingyifai913]

Big crush on Mattie. Big love for DLB. Brooke and Maddy are great too. Everyone is so lovely.

[@Buc_Stops_Here]

Brooke coming back from injury dominates and wins, taking first or second in every single event - lifts, bodybuilding, and sports. An amazing athlete. All are amazing. All being friends by the end is not surprising as they all share the same interest - athletics - in different ways.

[@mr.workhardplayhard6550]

One of the coolest events/series I have seen in a LONG time! So much fun to watch each of the athletes compete.....Congrats Brooke on the win.

[@physastra4962]

Mile run, swim, bleep test, a simple push up, sit up, pull up test. anything other than that crap.

[@shannons1886]

Phys Astra Brooke would smoke all of those events.

[@tylera86]

No kipping!

[@Linkandzeldarules]

Couldn’t agree more w/ Phys Astra. Maybe isolated muscle workouts like calf raises, bicep curls, etc to give other trainers a chance

[@bethanytalbot2445]

idk that sounds boring to watch and do and has been done before, I preferred this format.

[@John333Scout]

@@shannons1886 I think Mattie showed she is the better runner. Swim we have no idea cardio doesn't transfer over to the swimming. Simple pushups situps and pullups yes Brook would win.

[@triggerrick]

The powerlifter is thicker than a bowl of oatmeal

[@lilzach06]

lmfao u aint never lied

[@venerea3155]

DLB's personality is my fave

[@laynierae4495]

Love, love LOVE!! these ladies!!!!! Whenever I feel like I'm not doing well in my own sport seeing these women really give me the motivation to push myself harder!!

[@gabriellafraser9570]

This series got me back into the gym tbh

[@emilyjane5512]

Misogyny Man wow, you live up to your name

[@hfr8343]

@Misogyny Man lol

[@NFS305]

Oh awesome. I work out too. Which gym? 😉

[@vonno5050]

Loved the series!! The girls had an awesome competitive spirit & great support for one another

[@dannyjun9572]

*Sees Dana played college soccer "Eh she might have an advantage who knows" Wut

[@DBaldwin-bbbrew]

This was such a great series! Better than the stuff you see on ESPN!

[@Kristen_Colin]

I think they ran out of ideas with the watermelon round. 🤨

[@IHeArTrOcK20]

Kristen Colin hey it was fun lmaooooo

[@kmowiu]

Not Necessarily. Last year with the guys it was a beer drinking and hamburger eating contest. I think it’s just something that each individuals training can’t give any advantage what so ever.

[@JohnDoe-rq9hr]

emDawg tits or gtfo

[@neversaw]

It was fun and silly

[@IHeArTrOcK20]

John Doe you’re so cool and manly, huh?

[@golgarirockfarm3744]

Brooke may have "won" the competition but DLB and Maddy definitely won our hearts

[@leslietuleramirez9494]

The fact that they’re there regardless of the results 👏🏼 I loved this series I need moreee

[@marienunez9781]

Through this series and what it's taught me I have brought more of a hybrid approach to my training and all the happier about it. These ladies are such an inspiration

[@flclub54]

Wasn't too excited for the softball portion of this vid. Should've used a machine to make it fair... A bit a coaching maybe??... Seemed odd to include this sport.

[@navajo237]

Testing hand and eye coordination. How else would you purpose they test that fairly to each person?

[@legendarymooseman]

They didnt just hand a woman something UNFAIR!!!!

[@828351nissan]

True. This episode sucked.

[@laylaariel3751]

Because softball is one of the hardest sports... statistically speaking hitting a 65-72mph ball from 40ft away is one of the hardest things you can do in a sport. Similar to hitting a 95mph baseball which is obvs also statistically considered to be almost impossible.

[@clutterinparadise8839]

I wish they had used a pitching machine. Not all the pitches were the same for each person, which I didn’t like.

[@SuhannaDeSilva]

This was an amazing series, genuinely sad to see it end

[@kevinmorris4517]

This is so poorly produced. In this "Grand Finale" where is the summary that shows the results of the overall competition???

[@VolcanicLioness]

The first thing that went through his mind when she said “I’m slightly allergic to watermelon...”: “Oh Shit I done fucked up”

[@jeffk4710]

Lmao, brooke was dying during the watermelon eating while everyone else had a straight face XD

[@alfa35omega]

NOW mixed pairs Brute Showdown

[@tomsta29]

That softball challenge was unfair for them...they have a proper pitcher throwing fast balls at women who’ve never played before...what the hell 🤯🤷🏼‍♂️

[@parrotarts4637]

They were all at the same level of disadvantage though, so it didn’t skew anything

[@rrosomasa]

Mattie is the classiest fast eater. but Brooke is such a competitor!!

[@goldenerinx]

i love DLB and her little laugh lollll i feel like she’s always laughing

[@miyamiya1726]

So to summarize: Experience beats all

[@atlas_the_great]

MiyaMiya Roids beat natty athletes, yes.

[@shannons1886]

Yes, that is why CrossFit does all sports. She didn’t just win the softball event.

[@miyamiya1726]

@my mom That is a very passionate comment, but yes I can agree to a degree. I have a feeling they didn't really take these episodes that seriously as it was treated like a spin-off of the Strong Man series.

[@cashlynkearney2089]

So “catty” is used to describe competitive women? Aight

[@kenmichael9779]

U had to find something to complain about but why I think he was just joking the women have cussed and everything but if a man says anything ready to riot in the streets ridiculous.

[@muscleheadzzzz]

Snowflake lol

[@snem9381]

Everyone replying to the comment is way cattier than any of the competitors lmaooo

[@snem9381]

Like bro can women not voice any issues without a hoarde of salty alpha gymbros throwing insults

[@gloriasheen6336]

when did he say that? i missed it

[@kabir09999]

I was rooting for Brooke to win cuz I’ve been working out in a box. And win she did. The other ladies were also not too far behind. Kudos to their will to keep getting better. Amazing 5 part series.

[@KK-jy2ck]

Omg omg omg been checking KZbin everyday looking for this episode!!! Thank you!!! Love these series! Strong women rock!

[@1agnesdei]

You should put them to do that crazy army exams it would be amazing. Those women are so inspiring I wish I could be like them. I was fat got bullied I lost 28 kilos. They inspired me to go push myself and be stronger!

[@user-ge5dk8qv9p]

I loved this series . So fun 👑😆

[@chrisbritt4266]

Really love the series but just don't understand the point of the watermelon eating contest

[@jizzypuff]

It's just for fun.

[@Jude8883]

They were checking out their ass eating ability.

[@jjQlLlLq]

Eating is a 'skill' anyone can do, I think that's why. And it's fun, so

[@thedewboyzz]

Didn't you hear him he wanted them to be hydrated after their gauntlet of fuckery

[@MrRickyWow]

Think of us as animals (which we are) and it may make more sense. The fittest survive because they dominate competitors and two of the main prizes of life are sustenance and reproduction. The fit part, seen from that angle, is but a means to an end. I find it fitting (I mean the damn pun) that they put that event a the end. The bounty. These ladies inspired the hell out of me.

[@Insaiyanrider]

I just finished watching all of the female and Male challenges of this kind and I love them . We need more of this! Please

[@ricky71787]

I wish they just made a show with these four ladies. They’re funny together and all have awesome personalities!

[@flor925]

Loved Brooke's take away at the end! Super inspiring. Viva ladies and togetherness. 😁

[@corypage]

What exactly is being tested by Watermelon eating? Serious question.... Also, this series is dope AF..

[@FeathersMcGraw_]

You would actually be surprised how much athletesism is involved in high-level competitive eating.
