Interesting start and concept, terrible ending

I personally really liked the concept of this show. It was interesting to make a sport competition where anyone could participate. I also really liked the first 1-2 episodes. But, as the show went on, it became more and more boring. And the final was the worst of them all. Honestly, it felt like they spent their entire budget on the first few episodes and then they improvised something at the end.
The result of the show was predictable - the most balanced man (not to big, not too slim; not too young, not too old) won. However, that is not my problem with this show. I have other things that I disliked:
1. The final episode. The games were boring, the budget spent was effectively zero. I expected a grand finale with some very interesting games, but no. Also, why 4 games? Why not one continous game and the one that manages to finish all the games the fastest wins? That would’ve been more fair. But, anyways
2. They spent a lot of screen time on famous participants, none of which got to the final. The ones that got to the final, except for the car dealer, got close to zero screen time, so I had no idea who they are and I also didn’t really care who is gonna win the event because of it.
3. I had to watch the exact same game done again and again and again by different teams in more or less the same way. The idea of showing the same game for multiple teams at large isn’t a bad one IF THE GAME CAN BE DONE IN MULTIPLE WAYS, IF THERE IS TRUE STRATEGY INVOLVED. But if the game is simple (like the one with the sand), all teams have the same strategy and so on, it is just plain boring.
