I couldn't agree more. What pissed me off the most was that Moretti got up there and said she voted for Whitlow because Wolf left the d ring when it was really her d ring. Wolf worked harder than anyone from beginning to end. It was him that got Whitlow into the Gauntlet.

I wonder what the people that voted for Whitlow because of the whole d ring thing think now after seeing what really happend?

neither of the last two contestants are the one's who should be hated...it should be moretty w/ a "y." in the episode with the whole yaney-moretty-wolf incident, they showed at the end what happened--it was moretty who failed to remember to take her damn d-ring out of the tunnel (altho she gave it to wolf and wolf dropped it, it was still HER responsibility). then when they got to the detonation point, SHE was the one who swiped Yaney's d-ring so it looked like she had all of her equipment (yaney ran back to the explosives to see why they were taking so long and left his d-ring at the detonation point).

wolf was robbed.

The question for everyone now is though, would you watch Boot Camp 2 and what would you like to see changed?

I hated the resolution of Boot Camp! Those dismissed recruits are jackasses for voting the way they did.

Thompson and Yaney are major wusses.

I knew the women would vote as a bloc.

Wolf did himself no favors with the way he conducted himself, but Whitlow spent 2 of those weeks on crutches, while the rest of recruits were busting their butts on a hourly basis. I still can't believe she slinked all the way to the big prize.

One of the changes I would make is to make each and every recruit earn their right to vote during a challenge for every vote on dismissal hill. I can't stand recruits that get a vote just for breathing.

The other change is making the voting anonymous so that peer pressure doesn't factor into it as much.

If you are going to host a game that involves tons of physical activities, but rely on politics to settle matters, why even have the physical activities, just conduct a different form of battle of the wits and not misrepresent the game to the American public.

Wolf was robbed!

I haven't watched an episode, and never will.
The change I would make to the show is to stop calling them recruits.

I am not in the armed forces, but if I was, I 'm sure that I would feel offended that these people are being called recuits when they only war they are fighting is for half a million dollars.

Yeah, since I'm a couch potato, I'd probably watch Boot Camp 2...

The major change I would want to see is a "reunion" type show like how they had on Survivor afterwards. I'd love to see everyone's faces after they'd found out that it was Moretty who left her D-ring instead of Wolf. They would have been sitting there eating crow. Bastards.

I think the voting was anonymous, wasn't it? I think they voted (wrote down the name in their binder thing) and then went back into formation. I think when each recruit was talking, they were just giving the reasons behind their voting...they had already voted beforehand.

Count me in as another person who is pissed about the ending of this show. WTF! Whitlow hardly survived the Gauntlet! Wolf totally dominated the events and was screwed out of the prize. I guess the moral of the story for future Boot Camp contestants is to make friends and not worry about the physical conditioning part - it is irrelevant in the game.

I didn't think Whitlow had a chance after the gauntlet. Wolf only needed one vote. It shocked me that he couldn't get a single vote but I'm glad he didn't win. He was arrogant to the bitter end and after it was over.

Tough cookies, kid. Now, go back to college.
