While I agree that sending Jamie was a low blow, I also think that Joe is a better shooter overall. He dropped the ball in one challenge, but overall has done well. That being said I dont agree with have the elimination challenge at this level of the competition.

And yes, George is cocky, but in last nights episode he put his money where his mouth was and delivered the best shot of the night.

But Jamie beat him....... how was that the best shot when the game was do it the fastest, not do it first shot. Clearly his strategy failed as he was in the middle of the pack, my guess is Jamie could have also pulled off a one shot hit as well. Personally considering wind changes CONSTATLY I think Jamie and Brian’s strategies were superior, not as fun to brag about but none the less taking the time for a one shot hit was a gamble that did not pay off, he came in third out of 7 people beat him.

Personally I think they should have made the number of shots have some sort of bearing on the winner, that would have stopped everyone from simply walking the shots in.

Maybe, but he is by FAR my least favorite guy left. What is his issue with Jamie anyway? He is not just cocky, but lacks honor and integrity IMHO.

IMHO Ashley is the weakest left, but he has made friends with the right people. I think its lame that they get to vote off people once its gone individual, the 2 at the bottom should have to fight to stay, the whole idea of the elimination is to give the guy who had a bad day a second chance. If they truly are superior they should be able to shoot their way out of it, that’s exactly what Joe said and he was right, he should have been in there against Jay.

There seems to be some deep seated hate for Jamie on the part of George. Jamie doesn’t seem to come off as a prick so you have to wonder where its coming from. I wonder if a Navy guy jacked his woman at some point in time or more likely George has some gripe with reservists or the Navy in general, either way I would love nothing more than to see Mr D-bag go down to the Navy guy.

Exactly....

Although I am not starting to worry about myself now. I started watching the show to see shooting, and now I'm sucked into the drama. I may need serious help :shock:

This has made me wonder just how much of their "personalities" are being manipulated (for lack of a better word). At first Jay seemed to be a real ass, like he was the heel (wraslin term) but once it was him vs military he wasn't as bad. Seems like half way through editing they decided "hey, if we do this right people will love to hate George." Kinda like the best pro wraslers are the bad guys who insult everyone.

Somewhere along the line, Caleb Giddings commented on how many hours of tape go into the 5 seconds of dialogue and that the way it's cut together really affects the "presentation" but doesn't reflect the overall attitudes of the people involved.

I think most people understand that, but at the same time the words are coming out of his mouth, I'm not sure there is a context where some of the comments would ever be ok, but that's just me.

Haven't watched the show so I don't know. The "reality" angle and circus side show nature of the show lost me after the novelty of the first season wore off.

I voted for Ashley because of the tats and my son had a GF named Ashley. I don't like the "reality show" format either.

I'm sure there is a lot of creative editing in the show. However, when I hear the D-bag say, "I **Bleep**ing can't stand Jamie's **Bleep**ing guts", I can't quite see how that is the result of editing. And if George isn't normally a total D-bag in his regular life, he should win an Emmy for best D-bag in a reality show. 8-)
