Anyone watching TUF season 5?

[Chris D]

Just watched the first episode on Saturday. Looks like this season might be pretty exciting just for the little mans syndrome that is going to go on.

BJ Penn and Jens Pulver the coaches who appear to be much like Tito and Shamrock, but a bit quieter.

Nate Diaazzzzz

I haven't seen it yet but I'm anxious to see if BJ puts his guys on the burrito diet.

[Chris D]

No talk of Burrito's yet...

BJ's team lost the first fight. Won't say who fought but he lost...horrible fight by the way.

I was hoping to see BJ put these guys through a crossfit workout. I think I've seen him on crossfit.com saying he uses it. But so far no go.

And Nate's on Pulvers team.

Just saw it...either there's too much testesterone in that house or the director has a gun off camera inciting riot!

[kuri]

I finally saw an episode. For those that haven't watched it yet I'll just say that the fight was actually quite good. Good stand up and ground battles, which is a rare thing on this show.

No BJ/Jens drama and not enough of BJ training. I'd love to see more of him rolling with his boys.

[Irishdazza]

Finally getting rid of all the cryers and drama queens....should be better from here on in.

Actually developing respect for Pulver....really didn't think much of him till the last two episodes but he's starting to caome accross ok...apart from the dodgy haircut of course.

What's with that Asian guy? That dude shouldn't even be there. They should've had him and the cake-eater go at it.

BJ needs a lot more camera time, he's the most interesting guy on the show and gets the least.

the note? come on, that was gold.

Andy Wang is his name and I don't think he should be there either. Did you see his fight? It was almost painful to watch.

I didn't catch his fight, but I didn't really try to either. The guy blew me away. I was surprised how, after BJ kicked him off the team, he reacted when he found out Pulver was willing to take him on. It really surprises me they picked guys like this to be on the show (unless they just wanted the drama).

there's Lauzon's blog of the show.

[kuri]

That blog was pretty funny. I've only seen one episode and haven't been keeping up on it, at least until they do some format changes.

I watched a bunch of episodes this weekend... seems like every episode I saw someone was bawling (not brawling) their eyes out.

[Irishdazza]

Yup.....every time I think we've seen the last of it another"tough guy" burts into tears....truly pathetic!

[Chiron]

I don't have a problem with a guy crying, but the reasons these whiny little bitches break down into tear buckets are pretty pathetic. lol

I like Joe Lauzon. He has skills and definitely seems to be an intelligent guy. The sport could use more fighters like that.

[dimaiocanesrule]

I know they are lightweights and all but some of them seem to be poor strikers there seems to be no power. Im looking forward to seeing nate diaz fighting again and the manny guy. I think the joe guy is pretty awesome theres a guy with some power behind his blows!

[jax]

I was happy with last night's outcome.

[kuri]

Lauzon vs Diaz would be a good match, as would Manny vs either of them.

I'm sure spoilers are out there but I hope Lauzon wins it and gets back into the big show.
