Krystof is really the only guy on the Blue team that I like. But you are right Yenta. He totally looks like a serial killer.

I've seen so many shots of the ring girls on this show and these recaps from the neck down, I started to wonder if she even had a head. Thanks for clearing that up.

Great Recap, Yenta!! And, FreewayShark, you're funny, love your comment about the ring girl. My husband said the same thing: )

I read Ryan Baders blog and I'm amazed that Spike TV decided not to show the urine drinking. I guess there is a line of decency in reality TV.

I really really hope that Hugger John wins next week. Not just because I like Hugger John, but because I don't like Frank Mir!!

So, either Mir or Nog is going to fight Brock Lesnar, it should definitely make for an interesting fight.

Is it just me or is It hard to imagine any of the fighters on this show fighting at that level?

I don't know if anyone will find this interesting, but Hugger John's nickname is "Buckets of Blood". Can't wait for his fight.

Another excellent recap. And with not so much to work with.

The most interesting (educational) part of this season is the contrasting style and personalities of the coaches. I feel like Mini Big Nog is a credit to the sport and would be proud to be associated with him. And then there is that other lubhead...

I wonder how much their teams reflect the coaches original picks as opposed to the coaches' ongoing example.

Hey Folks,
FreewayShark: I agree with Roses you are funny : )

Rosesarered: I'm amazed that Spike didn't show the urine drinking. If they get through the season without showing it, my faith in reality TV decency will be slightly improved.

Bmcl: Now that I'm paying attention to some of this stuff, I'm feeling kind of bad for Randy Couture. Isn't kind of weird that a guy who's only fought five times (four times?) is getting a shot at the title?

HeyBuddy: I saw that about his nickname as well. Also his fights usually win 'fight of the night', so hopefully it's going to be a good one. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I also really want to know who's going to be paired up for the semis

Fire@will: I totally agree with you about the coaches. I'm sure that most of the blue team members would have behaved better with stronger leadership. I also have to admit that Nog has gone a long way to helping me see redeeming aspects about this sport and making me at least a temporary fan.

Heart and hugs,
Yenta

Actually Yenta, Randy Couture only had 4 professional fights before he won he UFC heavyweight belt himself. So don't feel bad for him because he went through a very similar path to Brock Lesnar.

FreewayShark:
I thought Randy Couture was like a grand old gentleman of the UFC. Wow, was I wrong. It's still weird to me that these athletes can get to the top so quickly. I guess it's just part of being in a young sport. I'm a little worried about Nog being able to beat Lesnar. Sigh...

Thanks for the info, I really appreciate your help in learning this stuff.

You're welcome Yenta.

Great recap, yenta! I feel like I'm getting to know these guys in ways that, well, make me feel rather uncomfortable (it takes an awful lot for me to feel that way, but between the peeing and the psychotic episodes I kinda feel all oogy). Still, it is incredibly interesting, thank you for breaking it down for me, cuz otherwise I'd just be kinda "huh?"...

love, J-Mo :)

P.S. Thanks for the beefcake shot, my BF certainly DID enjoy it... maybe next time if you find a shot of a fat boy you can post that for me? (You know my idea of white-hot-sex-god is John Goodman... *grin*) Huggles!
