George acts like a clown. It has to be scripted, for a man to look like such a jerk. I ran into a Marine recruiter, who happened to have been a sniper. He was rather quiet about his profession, but when the conversation turned to GySgt. Carlos Hathcock, he eyes took on a glow. He told me that he never got to train with the Gunny, but did meet him. His voice was quiet, as he talked about the old Vietnam Era Hero, and you could see the pride of Corps. come over the young man. The Gunny was his personal hero! I haven't seen that on this show.

i record all my shows like this , ultimate fighter and sons of guns,and wade thru the crud . sons of guns is the only show that i only fastforward thru commercials only.

with it being a work environment i actually enjoy the interaction between the characters(somehow i picture moose portaying will as a standin quiet nicely for some reason) and alto stephanie isn't a model per se....my wife gets rather upset when she sees her holding a weapon (wonder why??)

I have to admit though, nailing that target with the first round with the Barrett was very impressive.

Skill doesn't seeem to matter as much if it's demonstrated by a puke.

My 2-cents.

Like to comment about George hitting the target in one shot with the Barrett. HE'S A SNIPER. HE SHOULD HAVE! LMAO

But the fact that Jamie isn't and did it faster, more shots or not, I LOVE IT because it pissed George off even more.

Someone should remind George that karma is a B*TCH?

The "values" taught by shows using the Survivor model are disgusting, divisive and demeaning. I'd cancel all such shows in a heartbeat if i had the authority and power to do so. Whatever happened to teaching teamwork and respect, or teaching respect for individual achievement?

They didn't do that and they weren't like that in the first season. I don't remember them being that way anyhow.

This season was probably intentionally cast for more drama.

Good Point.

"But the fact that Jamie isn't and did it faster, more shots or not, I LOVE IT because it pissed George off even more. "

Better Point.

"Someone should remind George that karma is a B*TCH? "

Probably wouldn't soak in.

Just like the old days, eh Sam? Moving pictures with no sound! LOL! I didn't think of that, but it does stop a great deal of the BS from getting through!
