TUF mistakes and improvements

[ryabusa]

I would love to see a season of TUF that was all heavyweights. Only because I picture it being the polar opposite of this season. Rather than a bunch of hyper-sensitive little men blowing out their chests to fight off their Napoleon complexes we'll get a bunch of big guys hanging out having witty conversations and pie eating contests.

Ok, that is probably not what would happen, but it would be a lot more entertaining than Gaybe calling everyone a homo and getting tubes shoved up his ass.

Most of the HW's they usually get are more comfortable and better suited to be LHWs. They had HWs on season two but the only one who actually stayed at heavy and fights is Brad Imes. Mike Whitehead had a few fights but was less than stellar. Both Rashad (who won the show as a HW) and Jardine dropped down and are having much more success. The UFC isn't in as much need for HW's anymore, but having sixteen MW would have been a smarter decision.

I agree. Even though it's kind of a Survivor-like gimmick, it makes the fights more suspenseful if the loser leaves the house.

Also, it winds the show down nicely as the number of guys decrease and they're all left in the house with their next opponents.

I agree that the "contests" to determine who would choose the fight were usually pointless, but something different needs to be done.

I think each team should have a week to train with their coaches. At that point Dana and both teams coaches would get together and pick all the first round matchups. You could still let the winning team from each week pick who would fight next, but their opponent would already be chosen. This way each fighter could spend more time training for a specific opponent.

What I dislike the most about this season are the fighters when they're at home- they're just not as interesting as other seasons. I think they should bring back games, but the winners don't get "the hammer." Instead, they just get prizes. That, and each game is played against teammates, not the other team- that'll stir up the pot, haha.

I hate having people stay at the house. ITs far too crowded, hell I was watching episode 4(?) and I saw two people that ive sworn havent been on camera for the rest of the season. I had no idea who they were. If the losers actually go home it makes for a better tv show when its down to 4 people and there actually is only 4 people. I guess they didnt want to pay for a losers house no more
