Denny Duron is the heart and soul of this docuseries. Often, you have this larger-than-life personality that can be off-putting, but Duron actually cares about these kids in an authentic way.

Of course, these kids are competing against each other, but when one man goes down, someone else steps up, and they root for each other.
