The gym training scenes are still decent IMO. You get a window into the fighters' and coaches' mindsets before and after fights, which is cool to see.

But yeah, the TUF house format is lame and pointless. They should just put the fighters up in a hotel or something and only film the gym scenes. No one gives a fuck if a fighter prays to Allah and likes to sleep in the top bunk.

I haven't watched TUF since like TUF 15 perhaps, can't even remember. I don't even bother skipping to the fights. I like TUF when they had that fight to get on to the show though.

TUF 10 was fucking class though.

Episode 1 was always a blast when it was like 16 fights to get into the house, finishes galore left right and centre, such a fast paced episode.

Yeah TUF 10 was good with Rampage's personality, and it's always interesting to see if the "coaches" can actually coach. The show has been hit or miss for the past 10 years with some gems in there. Ronda vs. Meisha was good and Jedrzejczek vs. Gadelha had the most unintentionally hilarious trash talk ever. The most recent one with DC and Chael was lame because they both phoned it in and are old AF.

I think I zoned out at the Lesnar/JDS season whichever one that was. Haven't watched a season since lol.

Yeah it's been hit or miss. I think my favorite one is still season 4 with Serra, Shoney Carter, Chris Lytle, etc. as old vets just coaching themselves. That whole season was like a buddy cop dramedy lol.

That was a class season. I remember this one well...

My favorite part of that season was Serra and Shonie Carter. Serra emerged as the de facto team "coach" who taught Shonie BJJ defense and helped him win his previous fight, then had to fight him in the semis:




Edit: LMFAO how could I forget Shonie Carter teaching GSP how to pimp walk? That entire TUF season was gold.
