Default Is The Ultimate Fighter Talent Pool Drying Up?

When I first heard that Rampage and Forrest were going to be the coaches for TUF 7, I couldn't wait for the new season to start. I was excited because I knew these 2 were going to make this the best season ever. The first 2 episodes were great, packed full of great fights. Then I couldn't wait for episode 3 because that's where they picked teams and went into the house. Nothing really eventful or worth watching ever happened. So last night, I'm watching episode 4, and I got bored. Never before have I gotten bored watching TUF. I have went back and watched all 6 of the previous seasons on dvd back to back and never gotten bored but last night I was bored to tears. How can this be? 2 of my favorite fighters are coaches and they are extremely funny but the show's a snoozer. Now don't get me wrong, the fights have been good. Last night's fight when it finally got started was pretty good. The thing is, the fights are only a small percentage of the show. Then I was looking at some of the fighters records and noticed there are ALOT of MEDIOCRE records present on this season. Remember in the past you had guys like Diego, Rashad, Koscheck, Leben, Swick, etc. who came in either undefeated or with very few losses on their records. Now you've got guys at 4-4 or I even saw one at 4-5 fighting on the Ultimate Fighter show. I know Cory Hill got onto TUF 5 by lying about his record but you have this snot nosed kid Miller who's got 1 fight on his record and he's in the house, talking all sorts of trash to fighters, who lives with his mom, is very immature, getting 30 or more minutes of screentime and then he gets submitted. Is the TUF talent pool drying up? Is this the worse season so far? I know Rampage and Forrest are good when they are on screen but it isn't enough to save it. Just my opinion. What does everyone else think?
