BJ's team better get a win soon. otherwise his team is going to go home early and pulver is going to have his entire team continue.

Penn's still got his best guys left at the backend. Maynard, Lauzon, & Wiman will be tough for anybody remaining to fight on Pulver's team to beat. I do like the way Pulver's coaching more than Penn though.
I talked about this before the show but I said Pulver would have more team chemistry/unity, and Pulver would bring in big name coaches to help him (Horn & Hughes have already been there). The Magic 8-Ball was right.
