Maybe you get less commercials and promo crap.
So are you going to stay off the internet to avoid being spoiled? |

*SPOILERS*
Not sure if we're supposed to wait 24 hours to avoid spoilers for TUF episodes or not... so I put that warning there just in case.
Did anybody notice that they spoiled the ending of the Sadollah/Byrnes fight during the commercial break where they showed highlights of the first episode? I remember seeing the Amir make some gesture with one hand while the referee grabbed the other and seemed like he was starting to raise it.
Also, I like Dolce's aggression. Aside from him, it's hard to be rooting for anybody else this early since some of the winners outclassed their opponents too much. I'll probably have to wait until after the first few real fights before I can say who I hope will go all the way.

Rampage making fun of the winner of the first fight smelling bad was so hilarious, "You can have that dude" lmao!

New season is already starting off badass, love how they have to fight their way onto the show. I already got two picks for the finales. I'm going with Jeremiah Riggs and Mike Dolce. It's early, but I got a good feeling about them.

Good call. Ya know...Mike Dolce looked and sounded familiar...IFL guy. He took Delson Heleno to a decision.
I think C.B. Dollaway can go pretty far - seen him fight on HDNet a few times and he did well last night.
It was good to see fights right away  |

I was very happy with the season premier. Good fights, good commentary from Griffin and Rampage. It was funny and entertaining. I hope that the rest of the season pans out that well.

I think this might turn out to be a pretty good season. As long as its less of a soap opera than last season... I'll be happy.

Yeah, I like how they highlighted the pu**y fighters in the beginning of the show to remind us that's what we're NOT GOING TO SEE this time. |

I don’t like the attitude of some of the fans who always like to complain. When they say if you had a quick fight that they wished it was longer and if you have a long fight they say you should have beaten this guy quicker. Some people you just can’t please. If it is so easy, they can put on a glove and do it themselves. I’ll watch them fight.

Once they are pared down to 16, I'll put up a vBookie event for this season.
Its interesting. As I've browsed across the various reviews, some liked the commentating by White and company during the fights. Some absolutely hated it. I found it pretty amusing.
The concept of having everyone fight to get into the house is as good as advertised. I loved it.
If I remember right, Mike Dolce was offered a very good extension to stay with the IFL, but he thought the opportunity in TUF was too good to pass up. He may be right.
