is there anything else like Cathe F Boot Camp?

Is there any other workout like or similar to Cathe's Boot Camp? I love this workout, but I've done it a million times and have the sequence of exercises memorized by now. I like the one hour length, the intensity, the variety of exercises, and the way it's organized into distinct "cycles". A lot of so-called "boot camps" like some of the Tae Bo ones seem unorganized to me.

Paul Katami's Hollywood Bootcamp 4X4. Though I think Paul's is harder intensity wise. Less breaks - Cathe switches out equipment a lot. His is five rounds - repeated twice - of cardio, legs, arms, and core. Then at the end there is a "bonus" round of four compound moves done once. I love this workout.

in a word... no... there are other bootcamp style workouts (i.e. pauls, kelly's, amy's) but they just don't live up to the perfection (IMO) that is cathe's original bootcamp....

each of the ones i mentioned do have the cycles but there's just something about them.... i really do like katami's bootcamp.... amy's is fun but for the HOOing.... as much as i love kelly... i can only do here bootcamp once in a while (as opposed to circuit blast that i do over and over!)

Cathe's Drill Max comes to mind (6 cycles rather than 8, and not much if any supine core work; but high-octane cardio followed by resistance cycles)

Amy Bento's "A-Team Boot Camp" (6 cycles rather than 8; 2:00 nosebleed cardio cycles including 2 on the step; resistance and stability ball cycles)
