Not sure I'm getting your point. I understand the drama attached to one of the guys, but the alcohol isn't part of the equation. Maybe I'm alone here, but I didn't watch those guys get drunk and kick down the bannisters and put holes in the walls and say to myself "there's my guy right there, that one throwing the chair at the wall...damn he's cool, I'm going to start following his career right now and never stop". Sorry, not me. I hate every guy that was doing it. I won't watch the next TUF if the UFC doesn't announce some changes. No Bible? Are you kidding me? I cannot watch a show that will not allow someone to bring a Bible with them to read in their spare time off camera if they choose. I guarantee you that if you remove the alcohol from the show you'll see more drama. Tensions will be higher and the guys will be more focused. The ring would be used for taking out agressions and not the walls. I don't see what happened to the house being entertaining to anyone outside of a frat house or a trailer park. Anyone that pays a mortgage and works 60 hours per week to get the best house they can for their family is not amused by the lack of respect shown in a home that is not your own.
