'Bigger, Better, Faster, Stronger was a New Zealand science-based reality television series broadcast on TV3. Each episode saw the two hosts, James Coleman and Greg Page, work to produce a "new and improved" version of a household appliance or object. At the beginning of each episode, the hosts selected their team from a combined pool of five people, four of whom had skills that were of value to the project, and one of whom did not. They then spent the remainder of the day in a shed producing the new device, before holding competitive tests the following morning. The tests were adjudicated by Kirsten Pederson. Before the series aired, Coleman told news media that the episode in which he attempted to make a clothes drier from a lawnmower engine and an angle grinder was a near-disaster, as "The clothes ended up being distributed in specks of cotton around the laundry and the hooks flew off and embedded themselves around the set," but "Luckily, they didn't kill or blind anyone." The series was nominated for an Aotearoa Film & Television Award in 2011.

This is what it's all about. Massive slabs of muscular perfection, boiling over with testosterone, unleashed for a face-off in the ring. Match one features French Canadian bodybuilder Justin up against Russian military trained Dolph. Any time you get two bodybuilders in the same room, they try to out macho each other, and these two are no exception. After puffing out their chests, Dolph says he's surprised that Justin even had the balls to show up - and so it begins. Match two features the Can-Am debuts of muscle men, Ken Daniels and Rick. No one would ever describe Rick as small - surely not to his face! - but Ken is simply huge, with muscle upon muscle and rippling tree trunk legs. You would think he'd have the advantage over the leaner Rick. But looks can be deceiving. No matter what, they've both got a nice load ready for you..and you muscle fans should lap this one up!
