Part I: FIght Predictions
-------------------------------------
List the Method: (16 pts each)
(we just found out the list of contestants that have a shot of getting into the house. Since spoilers might give us who made it or not, we're going to go with the lucky unicorn of which Strawweights will defy stereotype and not get a decision, but will finish their opponent!
Now, I know this won't happen, but let's do some positive visualization and go through all these fighters and put either KO or SUB next to their name. Now, 8 of these 16 are going to lose. So if they lose by KO or SUB, and you picked correctly, you'll get the points, too!

Here's a pretty cool sherdog article that has links to the fighter's record pages if you want to get an idea what they've done in the past:

Yes/No

Bonus Question #2:
Will Joanna utter in her sultry Polish dialectic, the roll-off-the-tongue trebble of "JJ" on the show?

You no win this. NO TOUCH!!!" (15pts)

Yes/No
--
Bonus Question #4:
(thanks to
Askafan for the inspiration!)
Will Joanna mutter Kate Jackson's full name, "Kate Jackson", when talking about/to her, as a sign of begrudging respect and revulsion, much like a villain would, for instance, will she say, "Oh, so it is you, Kate Jackson, you are not going to be winning here, Kate Jackson, I want you to know this. You will pay for things you've done, ok?" (20pts)

Bonus Question #9:
Will we get one of the mainstay appearances of all TUFs, more reliable than Dana himself, the tried and true travel bus scene in this first episode? Will they show the fighters or a fighter being shuttled and shuffled around in their own musty quarters in that 12 Seat Caravan of Cram and Conflict and Daydreams and Destiny? So soon?? [picking them up from airport and travelling to TUF gym counts, as long as it's that large van they usually use. No Taxis or mini-vans!] (10pts)
Yes, small encapsulated spaces is what makes TUF special
No, the bus is for winners, they gotta win to get in!
--
Bonus Question #10:

Yes, show domination from the get-go
No, this is secret weapon. Save it.
--
Bonus Question #12:
Will we see the fighters step foot in the TUF House within this first episode? (10pts)

(10pts)
Yes/No
--
Bonus Question #14:

B) Exactly 3 or Under 3
Bonus Question #15:
*This question is in honor of the awesome Joanna gif created for sherdog by the Awesome Asurah!
Will there be any drinking this episode by Joanna Jedi? No, not
that kind of "drinking",
[Well, not yet anyways, not until they get into the house and Joanna comes over with "housewarming gift" of crate of Potato Wodka].
Will she sip from
any beverage during this thirst quenching episode of fightin and evaluating? (15pts)
Yes/No
--
Bonus Question #16:
In TUF20, the Softspoken Scot, Jojo Calderwood, had to use subtitles to traduce her cute accent, and it was kinda a big deal and awesome around here. Will they bequeath subtitles for the Polish Pontificator, Joanna Jędrzejczyk more than once? (10pts)
Yes, she is adorably incomprehensible for twice this episode or more
No, her words are clear and her actions are sound!
--
Bonus Question #17:

Yes/No
--
Bonus Question #18:
Which Strawweight will get the first confessional? So we all know the confessional talking head review, where we get little snippets of the fighters talking about and summarizing what's happening on the show? Looks really professional, they have this circle light that makes the fighter's eyeballs look cool? (23pts)
Here are the 16 fighters, pick who does the first one of the episode:
Alyssa Krahn
Amanda Cooper
Amy Montenegro
Ashley Cummins
Ashley Yoder

Bonus Question #19:
Will Claudia talk about or mention her Brazillianess? Talk about her hometown, etc. If she talks about her gym,
Nova União, then that counts too, because that gym is as reeking of Brazillianness as a Brazillian Flag wraped up in Açaí Berries on top of a Bronzed Beach Bikini Babe's Booty. (10pts)
Yes, sing OSSSS to the mountaintops, sister!
Nah, keep the hatred and despising on a strictly personal level, guys.

Bonus Question #21:
A season of men and women, young and strong and at hard worked levels of physical perfection and prowess, fighting alongside each other, in comeradeship and admiration... So will anybody make out or mention the attractiveness of another fighter/coach? (15pts)
Yes, when the body is willing, the zoom lens is ready.
No, the memory of gram-grams and pop-pop's sage advice are too fresh in the minds of these youngins
--
Bonus Question #22:
Will Joanna talk about her '"kicks"? Joanna Jedi is known to be a verified shoe aficionado, wearing Nike Jordans and now Reebok stuff (in public, but in the privacy and freedom of her own home, probably back on the Nikes). Will she mention her love of sneakers, or anything about shoes? (10pts)
Yes, these Reeboks not selling themeselves, Son!
No, just no, Reebok
--
Bonus Question #23:
Sometimes, things can get awkward the first meeting. Safe to stick to something universal, like, say, the weather. JJ comes from a pretty cold country, and Claudia comes from a pretty humid/hot one. And Vegas is notorious for it's "dry" heat and "dry" ice for that matter.
Will anybody mention the weather? This includes remarking how it's a "sunny" day, or complain how hot it is, or cold it was, or perfect it could be, even indoors. If they mention a room is 'stuffy', stuff like that counts. If the bathroom was cold, or the gym was heated. Just talk about the temperature, people! (10pts)
Yes/No
