show, and the MCs and guests complete missions at a landmark to win the objective. Usually each episode will also have an overarching theme or story. Each episode varies in the challenges and the instructions given to the MCs, and rules are not strictly enforced, resulting in a largely unscripted show.

History

The show has been a commercial and critical success since its inception, and the MCs have received praise for 'breaking the rules' of usual variety game shows and mingling with normal people going about their daily lives. The first and second seasons averaged ratings of 8.9/10 and 9.1/10 on China's main review-based social network site

. The show's catch phrases are "This is fate / 这就是命" and "This is love / 这就是爱" with a corresponding action that resembles the Chinese character for 'fate / 命'. Go Fighting! has been called the Chinese version of the popular Korean variety show '' Infinite Challenge''; this comparison has led to minor controversies.

Personnel

In March 2019, it was reported that original director Yan Min and cast members Huang Bo and Sun Honglei have decided to temporarily back out of the show after Season 4 due to scheduling conflicts. Huang Lei stated he would only be present for 3 episodes due to acting commitments. They were replaced by Lei Jiayin, Yue Yunpeng and Dilraba Dilmurat. In March 2020, Season 6 began filming with a brand new cast consisting of Lei Jiayin, Guo Jingfei, Jia Nailiang, Yue Yunpeng, and Deng Lun. Wang Xun and Zhang Yixing ("Lay") were the only original cast members left.

Accolades

Controversy

Season 1 of Go Fighting was accused of plagiarizing popular Korean variety show '' Infinite Challenge'', causing a halt in production for almost a month, with episode 10 airing on September 6, 28 days after episode 9. Season 3 of Go Fighting was pulled from air by SARFT a few days before Episode 10 was due to broadcast, and it was reportedly due to the promotion of undesirable social attitudes and a heavy focus on entertainment that didn't reflect the lives of ordinary people.
