I thought Hughes acted like a dick at the meeting because well, he is a dick. But aside from that, he was ticked off because a lowly UFC wannabe fighter like Hightower called a meeting and he and his coaching staff had to attend. TUFers don't call meetings with Hughes, Hughes calls the meetings. And don't you forget it.
Sub, please stop saying that reality shows are scripted. There's no way in hell that the writer's strike will affect this or any other reality show, because there are no writers and there is no script. They're edited, not scripted, there's a world of difference. The closest they come to acting out a script is when they're asked to replay something that the cameras missed, which I read happens sometimes, not often.
