    I have watched it. Nothing like it to make a person feel kinda inadequate.

    I've seen the first two shows. The shooting is really interesting. BUT, the "reality show, soap opera" nonsense really detracts from the topic. If they would stick to just the shooting and get away from the popularity voting and tantrums/whining, it would be so much better.

    I agree. I am not into the drama either but the majority of the population is. I think it is a good thing because it might work to get more people interested in the sport.

    Just look at how many people are into the UFC now since the start of The Ultimate Fighter.

    I have not seen this show but have seen a few others and the drama is probaly the same. I just don't get it. I have been out with all sorts of people and find most have more heart than sense and have to actually hold them back from hurting themselves. Before snowmobiles I ran dogs and they would run themselves to death if you let them. If any on the team is all that good they would be able to get the maximum from each member but all I've seen is them complaining. Ofcoarse if sleddog is troting along with its tail high in the air he gets a boot in his ***!

    I am watching the second episode right now. I think it airs Sundays at 10:00 PM. I enjoy the shots they take, the skill they have, but I also agree that it's too whiny. Not like Desperate Housewives of NYC whiny like my wife enjoys watching.

    What is this UFC and Desperate Housewives you speak of? I'm married to the Ultimate Fighter so I don't have to watch it on T.V. My doctor told me there are only so many blows to the head that you can expect to receive without permanent damage. He said I should have stopped her several hits ago.

    I just watched the 1st episode on Youtube last night. Seems like it has potential to be a decent show. Of course you do have to look past the drama, but I like how they have to shoot outside their comfort zone with different weapons. The obstacle course should have been a bit more challenging though, it was more or less for show than an actual challenge. I hope things get a lot more challenging for the competitors as the show goes on. It was some awesome shooting going on.
