You think it's bad at 2 hours?

Doing the math, including the unyet aired episode on science that's 33 bots. out of 67... only half have fought once so far. They all have to fight at least 4 times each. Then there's the final 16, not to mention whatever else they throw in.

Ignoring any fight that gets cut we're looking at potentially 16 episodes plus 2ish for the 16, so 18 episodes times 2 hours each. They do have a fair bit of filler, but it's usually to showcase or look at a bot unlike last season. They might also change their format at some point to trim out the terrible fights like they have in the past. The next one will definitely be 2 hours though.

If you think 18 episodes is insane, it was 20 last year. Granted it was 1 hour a pop, but it dragged on... from the start of june into the first week of october. I'd rather have 2 hour episodes instead of this dragging into next year. Also they take a 2 week break for shark week iirc.
