T-Dubb's TUF Episode 2 Thoughts

Ok, I really hope that every episode will not be focused on Yager and his antics. I know that there has to be some form of entertainment on the show, but I’d rather watch the guys train and workout, than see 3 idiots running around at 3 in the morning acting like jackasses. Try waking me up at 3am with a blow horn, and see who goes home crying to mommy. The preview for next week’s episode promises more drama, with Yager in the middle of it. Shocker. Either put up or shut up. He’s either that immature or he’s playing mind games with these guys and already has 2 followers to join the torture. He's most likely that immature. 

For the team picks, Tito’s team was commenting on the size of the guys, but if you remember last season, Rampage picked all of the big guys and lost all but one fight. Not that size doesn’t matter, cause it really does in my world, there is a reason that Chuck picked the team that he did, and we’ll have to wait until the season progresses to see if his strategy and reasoning will prevail. Not sure, but it seems as though Dana and Tito are solely going off the first fights they saw of these guys, to determine who they think are the better fighters.  Chuck actually researched each fighter, which makes more sense to me, but what do I know, I'm a woman who can't be objective, so I've been told.

The fight for the night went pretty quick with Noke winning by triangle. Not underestimating Noki, because I knew he would win, but you can see how guys can psych themselves out because of an injury. McKinney complained the whole episode about his shoulder, and wimped out of exercises that Tito thought he could push through. During the fight McKinney seemed ok, but if you’re telling yourself that your injured and you can’t do certain things because of the pain, then you defeated yourself before you enter the ring. Noke was ready even before this fight was announced. Noke has way more MMA experience, and has more than 3 fights under his belt. Noke would have won regardless of McKinney’s hurt shoulder.

Here's this week's recap about the fine ass men of the week.

Chuck looked fucking hot when he walked in for the pick's.  We ran into him in Vegas once, and he was the nicest person ever.  That's where I feel in love with him.  It was love at first site.  As much as I cannot stand Yager.  He has the best body so far.  I want to like him, but his personality is a turnoff. 

I saw McKinney's clip on the TUF site after this episode, and he seems like a nice person. This clip brought his cuteness up a few notches, after it had dropped significantly during the episode.  He has time to make up the difference though. 

Noke baby...Gotta love those Aussies.  I know I do.  Just keep doing well and you'll stay at the top of my wish list. 

I'm all ready for the next week's epsiode, but I'll just have to visit the Spike TV and Ultimate Fighter websites for my daily fix.

T-Dubb: The Ultimate Fighter 11 Week 1

It’s that time again for a new season of TUF, and this time around, the season shows promise of being interesting and not filled with puss boys. It’s just the first episode, and we still need to see how they handle training, but these fights were brutal and exciting to watch. There was blood everywhere, shoulders popping out of sockets, broken eye sockets, and the worst shattered nose ever. Besides the French guy, everyone stuck it out and took a beating from their opponent. There was no dancing around the octagon trying to hold hands. There was actual engagement from the start.

So far, only Noki is on my attraction radar, mainly because he has an accent, so that automatically puts him on my fave list. There are few maybes, but I’ll have to wait to see how they act in the next few episodes. There’s always one person that quickly makes it to my “Cannot Stand List”, and right now it’s Jaime Yager. He can kick the hell out of his opponent, but I smell issues from a mile away, so roomies beware.

Seems like it’s up in the air as to who will dominate this season. The guys came out ready for war and they did not disappoint. Dana looked like a fat kid in the candy store, and you can tell that Chuck and Tito were ready to pluck guys from the ring and put them in their jerseys.

Speaking of Chuck and Tito, they were great coaches before, and I know that they will not disappoint us this season. So many people can’t stand Tito, but being cocky doesn’t make you a bad person, just big headed. I thought Tito was one of the best coaches this show has had, because he actually cared and made his guys work. Chuck’s just great no matter what. He can just sit there and do an amazing job.

Sorry for being short, but it’s only week 1. The fights were great for this first episode, but everything can change once they’re in the house. They were just fighting to get in and impress the coaches, now they have to show what they are really made of from start to finish. I’m sure there is at least one puss boy left, cause there’s always one in the house, and then a few guys who just don’t measure up to expectation.

So we’ll pick up again next week. Don’t forget to set your DVR for next week on Spike.

K*Lovely: The Ultimate Fighter 11 Week 1

Another season of The Ultimate Fighter is upon us and I am excited! Chuck & Tito are great coaches and have some passionate hate for each other. How do you not love that?

I'm so glad that the show kicks off right away with fight after fight. Of course we are graced with one of Dana's "don't fuck around" speeches. The first fight shown was Yager delivering some awesome headkicks! I hope later on we get to see more of his skills because you can't always win by those. Ask Cro Cop. Then a hottie was brought on screen. Helllloo Brad....you’re great...let's hope you can fight! Whewww he can! I was very glad to see him advance.

Next we get some bs! Our first boy with an accent and he has to be a quitter!! I thought hackleman was going to whoop his ass! I loved that he grabbed his arms & almost dragged his ass back up. Oh well he goes home looking like a bitch!

I liked the fact that most of these guys finished their fights. There wasn't many fights that were left to decision. There was some quick KOs and submissions.

I would like to say I don't think Nick Ring should be allowed to speak or at least do anymore interviews, but good fight buddy! Now Joseph Henle...I'm sorry but there is no way I can call you Leonidas. I think if Clay Guida & Andrei Arlovski had a love child they would produce Henle. I'll have a new nickname for him by the next episode.

The O'Donnell & Camozzi fight was a good one. Those guys showed a lot of heart in their fight. That is the kind of attitude and determination you should have going in there. You have Dana, Chuck & Tito right there so you should go in their giving it your all! I would have been happy for either one to advance but the cuter one advanced, Camozzi.

The Lynch & Mckinney was off the chain!! Usually we hear guys complain and cry about having to fight a friend but these boys killed that noise & fought each other like 2 strangers off the street. Now if someone told me that my nose was on 2 diffrent sides of my face that would be all she wrote. Lynch hung in there like a rider but it just became too much to take.

Now I would like to take this time to give Dana an award for best reaction to fights. His faces were EPIC!!

I am really pumped for this season and still can't choose which team I want to prevail. Tito is bringing in Razor Rob as an assistant coach and I think he'll have alot to offer. However Chuck is bringing in Jake Shields (hubba hubba ladies) Not to mention the fact he is a champ but that boy is good & can bring some different knowledge to the table. This season should not disappoint!
