Not a bit. Tate has been the catalyst for most of the animosity from the start of the show, starting with the way she chose to make her entrance. She's continuously antagonizing Rousey.
To be frank, this season of TUF sucks so far. It's two women being bitchy to eachother. Possibly the worst coach pairing possible. I have a feeling that Rousey/Zingano would have been 172,000 times better, simply because Zingano has no reason to try to cause problems, and there's no history behind their relationship. Tate and Rousey can't hold their shit together around one another, and it drags down the quality of the show.
Fightmaster sucked because all it was, was a bunch of annoying coaches bickering and talking trash to eachother. This season of TUF is the same way, except that at least Rousey has a reason to dislike Tate.
If I wanted to watch bitchy lady drama, I'm sure there are shows on The Learning Channel (where, in a bizarre paradox of what-the-fuckery, every show on TLC is worse than every other show on TLC) or MTV I could watch for that. I don't like listening to women argue in real life, I don't want to watch it on TV.
I don't think I've ever bailed on a season of TUF before. Even when the fighter quality was substandard, or the coaches uninteresting, I still found it to be entertaining. But Rousey's crying and Tate's smirking and fake personality are utterly turning me off to this season.
I rarely let a fighter's personality affect me if they are fun to watch. I like watching Rousey break people's arms, and will continue to do so. I like watching Miesha Tate get kicked and kneed in the face, and will continue to do so. But I'm not sure how much longer I'm willing to watch them interact in the most ridiculously awful ways on television. Certainly there has to be paint drying somewhere.

What a crock of shit. apostle agreeing with you drives me to call bullshit not just once, but twice. BOTH of you are going to watch this show and never stop. Perhaps for the same reason I am watching it: Because of the girl drama between Ronda and Tate.
Tate doesnt belong on the show. We get it. But shes here and shes won 2 to nothing. Ronda beat her decisively before and I dont think that will be different in their 2nd match.
Make no mistake though...
Ronda is the epitome of a poor sport. She WON last time and shes walking around as if she not only owns the division, but she owns the ufc. Ronda was given a reason as to why Tate is on the show. She doesnt have to agree, but Ive been watching with my own 2 eyes that dont require glasses, shes not kept her emotionally handicapped mouth shut. She has already beaten Tate and prolly will again, yet she has made a CHOICE to say these things.
On the flip side you got Tate. Smiling. Winning. Staying calm. Doing all the things I can see a coherent, intelligent person, coach, and a woman being, yet I am supposed to believe shes playing manipulative mind games? That shit wont sell here. Worst case scenario for me: She is playing mind games. And shes 2-0.
Cat being on the show may had just been just another run of the mill show. It may had been same ol same ol and gotten monotonous. Perhaps not. Fact is, we dont know and I personally enjoy the torment exchanged between them, I personally enjoy Ronda squirming in defeat, and I personally enjoy arguing with people who want to suck Rondas dick.
Guess what slugger, you aint gonna fuck her and neither am I, even if we both want to. We dont know her and we arent good friends with her. All we have is face value and as it was before the show, my opinion hasnt changed on her. Shes a smug, selfish brat, and the worst personality a champion could have.
