Honestly I think BJ is a bad coach because he is so talented. It is very hard for someone to learn from a guy as good as BJ. He is expecting everyone to be on his level when they clearly are not

I know for a fact that all the fighters on BJ's team are training I asked one of the cast members and he said they mayed it look like BJ dosen't train hard through editing. Any ways Team Pulver's team is just more talented. The only guys that are good on team Penn are Gray,Matt and Joe

trust me im rooting for penns team and every week i say this is gonna be the week they win and its not happening
emerson should have took diaz and wang if he brought it to the ground it would have been over in the first 2 mins of the second round.BJ needs to take control and get serious and win this
i cant wait to corey hill fight hes gonna dominate
just my .2cents

I think that has a lot to do with editing I dont think a fighter like BJ Penn would just let them sit around all day, that is just what the cameras want to show you

You are right it is all editing. I am actually on a forum that both Andy Wang and Monsta are on. They started a thread for questions and they both stated that they were busting there asses.
They are trying to make people think that BJ is a fat slob and Pulver is gonna out work him and kick his ass in the fight. To make it more competive. BJ is not a bad coach he owns a very large BJJ school. Go to BJPenn.com - Home of The Prodigy they have classes taped so u be the judge.

If Jens picked the better fighters, wouldn't that make him the better coach? Whatever..
Anyway, Jens is definitely training his boys harder, and better. Christ, he's bringing in Jeremy Horn, Matt Hughes, brought in a BJJ, wrestling and boxing coach, so allow me to quote Gabe now "If you want to be one dimensional Jens is the right place for you"....right Gabe, right.

yea i agree that it is a little bit of both. i think jens pushes his fighters more but they dont ever really s how BJ's team train like the do jens.
but so far i think we have seen the best of Jens team go against the worst of BJ's team. BJ's team still has wiman, reudiger, lauzon and maynard left. IMO easily their 4 best fighters assuming gabe can make wait

Also, Penn's fighters seem WAY more one dimensional. They seem to have alot of high level BJJ practitioners as opposed to all around fighters.
I'm a little surprised that BJ hasn't had any surprise guests yet too.

To be honest I'm a little surprised myself he didn't bring any guest fighters as well, but I think BJ is a good coach, but Jens in all honesty seems to be doing a better job and his team is working as a team. Bj's team is dysfunctional. (We can blame Gabe and Wang for that  )

The only people I see possibly moving on from BJ's team are Joe, Gray and Wiman. Maybe Gabe, but aside from Corey, the rest of Team Pulvar doesn't really look too impressive either. I guess we are just going to have to wait for the next round to see who is really going to make it.
