I don’t understand the concept behind Original Blender either. The Blender I’ve used all along is the one with the Acid Soup, Pain Shakes, and the Minion Grinders. Mini-Blender came along when people wanted a one hour workout. The last I have no idea about and didn’t know it existed until you listed it.

BTW, I have the Sir Derrick version of Blender. He was killed in a tragic RTC. His widow, Nikki visits the Sufferlandria Facebook page every once in a while. It was also the last stage of the ToS 2022.

Yes, as @titanicus mentions, Original Blender was Blender before it was Blender the video we all love (to hate) with pain shakes etc. "Blender: originally created in Coach Sir Neal Henderson’s Penn State dorm room in 1992, it’s his preferred weapon of choice for bringing the pain "
The ToS 2014 and 2015 version is the one with the time trials at the end, not the sprints from Original Blender. This is a screen shot of the ending of the description from the trailer it.
Here is the trailer:

@Critmark Thanks for your help, DS! 
I am given the options of Blender (Time=1:41:47) or Blender (Mini Version).
I am given only one option for Fight Club (Time=0:55:38). The notes in Fight Club mention that only Knights have access to the original/vintage version. I have yet to scale to those lofty heights.
@Glen.Coutts I request no mercy! 
Subject to change lol

@guilloma yes the other two option Original Blender and Fight Club Vintage Sufferfest are only available to Knights. It looks like Blender and not Original Blender was used in 2015. Exploring Fight Club, but not yet resolved. Stay tuned.

The difference between the original and the remastered Fight Club are based on science from Sir Neal’s team and the fact that Wahoo/Sufferfest desired more Women’s racing. The theme and effects are the same or very close.

Yes but the original was a much harder workout as evidenced by the higher IF & TSS.
I did just hear back from the minions and what has been theorized about Blender is correct. The title Blender was used in the 2015 ToS. Original Blender and the remastered Fight Club were both released in 2020.
That makes the Blender issue easy, everyone will do the Blender: Time = 1:41:47, TSS = 120, IF = 0.84 version and not Original or Mini.
The harder issue is Fight Club. The Vintage Sufferfest version is what was done in 2015. However, that is only available to Knights. While the time difference is just 4 minutes, the ride is quite a bit harder. Comparing the Vintage Version to the remastered TSS is 78 v 64 and IF is 0.89 v 0.83.
I will need to ponder what, if any, adjustment can be made for those who have not yet achieved Knighthood. Other than them storming the castle between now and then!

Also, Stage 8 8s the Dame Alissa stage. Dame Alissa was killed in an RTC.
Easy peasy. For anyone without access to the vintage FC they just need to do 10 eligible Suf vids back-to-back with no more than 10 mins between.
Simples.

Just a reminder that ToS 2015 is in sight. Now that the Tourhooligan is over, time to get back to some serious business. This not only for those who missed ToS in 2015 but for those who want to relive the glory like Sir Glen.
BTW - I am mapping out dates for the rest of the year. I think we can get in 2016 through 2019 before Christmas! Keeping the goal front an center.

FOUR WEEK count down to the revival ToS 2015. Plenty of time to get it on your calendar. And no, Stage 7 of Revolver + Violator + Half id Easy is NOT an April Fools joke. Juat a GvA nightmare.

Hail Hail noble Knights and fellow minions.
I went through a period without a smartphone , in a kind of digital detox with other priorities, such as suffering in training 
I stop by to ask @Critmark the almighty DS if keeps the dates, that is, if tomorrow begins the revival of a beautiful suffering!
Just to know if i have to do a FF today… :))
