Agreed, being able to do something well doesn't necessarily mean you can teach it well. Teaching is its own skill.

I mainly know Shamrock through his previous WWE work. I don't really know much about Ortiz except what I'm seeing here. Ortiz does seem to be training his team harder than Shamrock is. Shamrock's team didn't seem to be very happy with his training methods, but perhaps this is the only way he knows how to teach. *shrug* I was kind of hoping to see Shamrock's guys do well, or at least have the teams breaking even, but oh well. It's still an interesting show to watch.

I rushed home last night, thinking that I'd miss the beginning but at least catch the fight, I came through the door, grabbed a beverage, clicked on the tube, just in time to see a bunch of fake bs about some stupid letter and then Noah leaving. Gee I'm glad I didn't miss that. Dana White threw a fit about how they can't have outside contact with the world. Then How in the heck did he get that letter!? It was obviously unimportant. Why even deliver it? It's more than a little fishy. I'm not saying this thing is worked, yet, (some of the picks made me wonder, though) but this was irritating.

You didn't miss much, bro. No fight this week, which sorta sucked. This is my favorite show on TV right now, and I watch it for the fights and the training, not so much the drama. So, with no fight, I was a little disappointed.

With there not being a fight and very little training shown, even those of us that watched it, missed it.

If I had watched it, there might have been a fight, Where are there offices?

This is THE Ultimate Fighter 3, Not Real World X or House 4.5 or some other BS.

Dana needs to get his head out of his *** and understand what market he is targting and go after it. Do not go after a market that is nto interested in your product and your sponsors product.

I would agree. I don't watch TUF 3 for the drama. Cut it out and show the fighters training and fighting. Who cares about some letter and a guy that wants to go home. Dana needs to wake up.

And whats funny is if Noah left and a replacement came in without showing all the crap that went on....

The same people crabbing that they shouldn't have the B.S. would be screaming for it and wanting to know why.

There was no fight because someone -Noah left. A replacement needed to be found and then brought back into the "game" takes time.

I will agree... I was dissapointed at having no fight.

I am confused.

I thought Noah had already faught and won.

Why would that effect the existing fight list?

Once you win you are in the Semi Finals.

Did I miss something?

Because a fighter was eliminated. Saves 'em from having to put on a fight to determine who gets eliminated.

I am still confused.

Did Noah already fight or not? Did I just imagine it?

Noah beat the young punk that stabbed his basketball. So Noah had already made it to the semis.

No Rich you are not confused he did fight. Yes he did win!!

He then proceeded to quit.

Still confused?

Quitting is the same as losing a fight. So now team "Ortiz" is down a man. Is it a forfiet? Does team "Shamrock" now get to decide who fights?

Not only are they down a man. The are down a semi-finalist. It has the possibilty of being a huge swing as far as teams go.

My point was that if all this had happened and the "Drama" wasn't shown those that were complaining about would be screaming like little school girls what the heck happened.

Kinda a dammed if you do dammed if you dont. I think they did the best they could do with the hand they were dealt...

Try not to be so confused next time.

They could have shown all of that, and still had a fight. Most of us aren't deperate housewives who enjoy a good survivor episode with our fat free popcorn and white zinfindel. So, although it may not have mattered to you, not having a fight was a little disappointing for some of us.
