Drama in the TUF House
ahh yes the drama begins to increase. I wonder if the producers actually encourage the drama.

*there is about to be a rant*
The guys this season seem to be forgoing getting drunk and acting like assholes for sitting in a slumber party circle and crying like women.
A few things. First this is not a team sport any of you should be willing to knock any of them out in a second. Next this isn't a ******* book club it's fighting you get hit. A lot. Get over it. If he starts winging spinning heels kicks at you fine say something but still don't whine like that. If he hits you in the face with a glove on and headgear I don't care if it's hard or not put you hands back up your chin back down and in Lukes case wipe the tears out of your eyes and get back to ******* fighting.
This season is nice compared to what it usually is but Jesus why are they all acting like a bunch of mid 30s Jewish women on their periods. And also someone needs to tell Gilbert to shut the **** up. He's irrelevant, his chance is over and he's driving so much of the drama.
Finally if a guy who nearly killed me with his feet had to live with me for the next eight weeks you best believe I wouldn't care if he offhandidly called my girlfriend who lives hundreds if miles away a bitch. Get over it. Your girlfriend probably is a bitch.
Jesus Christ shut up and train.
Rant over.

I don't see anything wrong with Hall. I think being in the house might be getting to him. Either that or the other fighters are trying to mess with him to throw him off his game.
Luke is a wimp for being hurt by a jab.
Hopefully Josh gets out of the hospital... So Uriah can put him back in there.

Uriah is so hard to like now that he's being all overly-sensitive and moody. I went from sympathizing with him to wishing for his downfall over the course of a few episodes.
Samman has always been annoying and this Josh-centric episode has only put a magnifying glass on his douchebaggery. I was kind of wondering and/or hoping that he was all talk, but his skills ended up being impressive. I'd LOVE to see him and Uriah fight!
As for Luke, I didnt see it as him being a wimp so much as there being a clash of training philosophies. I've seriously met some legit fighters who do spar hard very frequently. They use sparring more like speed-chess than a representation of a fight. If you come from a camp like that and suddenly you're getting cracked in the face, I could see how you might feel that your partner is being too hotheaded.
Conversely, me coming from a camp that does incorporate regular hard sparring, I could see how someone would get annoyed if their partner was constantly like "hey man, lighten up."
I'm actually enjoying the drama. What makes it interesting is that its GENUINE. Its not stemming from alcohol or people just acting like idiots on film. The drama is coming from such diverse personalities being stuffed together in a proverbial powder keg, and all of it has been bubbling gradually. You can tell that people's gripes are coming from weeks of friction, and I find it so interesting to see how the TUF scenario affects different people.

To be fair, I doubt my personality would be any better being in a house full of guys I don't know who are going to inevitably try to kick my ass eventually, but act like we're friends before that. I'm more of an introvert myself. I hang out with my girlfriend and maybe a select few friends and family, but other than that, I don't like partying or anything. (Unless it's a party hosting an MMA event. Nothing big though.) I can't hate on Uriah for how he acts in the house. I couldn't imagine being in that environment for so many weeks. The guy clearly has some issues he hasn't fully dealt with yet. Just has to learn to brush the little things off like most of us. If he doesn't, he's going to have a pretty miserable UFC run considering the strong media it involves.

He is clearly not a wimp, we have all seen how he fights. He was being a bitch though  Even if you are not expecting it that hard (it didn't look that hard) you should be able to just take it and settle in to the new pace.
When i am going light with someone who wants to get heavy i tend to just keep hitting light its good practice for me, cant rely on power or aggression and have to just out think someone who is hitting harder, i would never get angry or have a moan....it would never even go through my mind to do so.

Hall is not that socially adapted bless him, I can see him putting his foot in his mouth again this season. Dude just doesn't know how to talk to people and just joke about.

While I personality would take that route, I think Luke just doesn't roll that way, so he asked Uriah to tone it down. Then Uriah got mad and started pacing, and Luke backed off. Luke's issue was less about the single jab and more about Uriah's mindset and unwillingness to spar at a lighter pace. That, and the fact that he escalated the level of contact out of anger.

Yeahh, I mean he admits it himself that he's got some lingering childhood issues. And it comes through quite a bit.

If Clint can tighten up a few things, he could be a monster. Everything he connected with let out a 'thud'. Dude has unreal power, and I'm expecting him to get the wildcard spot.
My guess with next week's 'curveball' is that Jones and Sonnen have to pick one man from their respective teams to compete in the wildcard fight. Should be tough for Jones... number one pick Clint Hester or BFF Bubba McDaniel?

Hopefully he goes for Clint just due to the fact i would rather see that guy fight again over seeing Bubba.
Clint seems a bit of a Melvin Guillard with his hate for being choked, that tap was instant. He got himself into trouble by lunging into that takedown attempt like a retard, not even sure why he did that.
He did look talented, i gave him the first irregardless of the fact he spent most of it on the floor.
