Tough Enough 5/30
[simpsons comic book guy] Worst decision ever! [/simpsons comic book guy]
C'mon on now!! What the hell were they thinking?!?! Jake should have on, why the hell 2 girls??? They barely get any air time. Look at nidia, she won last years and where is she now, NOWHERE!!!! I would have love to see jake wrestle the other guys. F**K tough enough!!!!!

I can see it now- "mom, I just won TE2. Now I can be just like Nidia and have to work at 7-11 to get the bills paid. But atleast I'm a professional wrestler now."

I wasted 30 minutes of my life every week. That decision was ridiculous. If they don't choose Jake and Kenny to be on the next season then I'm done watching. This decision ruined Tough Enough for me. Jake and Kenny were far superior to both those girls.
My choice would have been one male and one female:
-Jake - Mainly because of his size...but Kenny definitely had more energy in the ring
-Linda - Jackie's knee would have been too much of a liability

Jake and Kenny were ROBBED! Although if they had picked 1 guy and 1 girl Jake would of won.
In the promos throughout the season for Tough Enough didn't they always say 1 guy and 1 girl? If so couldn't someone sue? They probably had to sign releases that they couldn't sue for anything.
Linda was they only correct choice they made.

Something tells me there is more to this than meets the eye.. interesting how Chris Harvard was there getting some screen time....
... there was some talk of a 'Renegade' TE stable forming (one of the guys from this season, Matt (the BIG DUDE) already has a devlopment contract, even tho he droppped out early...
I get a feeling you might be seeing a rather pissed off group showing up soon.. Jake-Chris-Josh-Kenny (and probably Taylor and Annie) to 'even the score'

And what ever happened to Nidia, by the way? What has she been doing all this time? (Haven't been watching wrestling as much as I used to, so I may have missed her if she's been on Raw or Smackdown.)

That was pathetic. I couldn't believe it. Jake and Kenny were screwed up the @$$! Jake's expression after Jackie's name was read said it all. "Jackie?!?" and he had a puzzled, pissed off face. That was stupid of the WW"E". I hope this isn't the last time we hear from Jake and Kenny. After this, they BOTH deserve to be signed!

This was a total dissapointment. I really wanted Linda to win and was glad she did but when i heard that the other chic won too, i was like What! I was pulling for Jake and he got totally screwed. I also heard in all the promos them saying it was 1 guy and 1 girl, what gives? Anyway, this just totally messed up the show for me. I aint never watching that crap again. Screw Tough Enough!

And Chris may have been shown because he signed a minor league deal a short time ago......

Oh well.

For those who missed the announcement, Maven is out with an injury which happened during his match with Christian on Smackdown.

Maven attempted a baseball slide dropkick and when his foot landed and stayed planted while the rest of his body kept going. it broke his shin bone.

This was definitely a decision that was made just to show how "anything can happen in the WWE" as opposed to Linda and Jackie both actually deserving the contracts more than Jake and Kenny. It disappoints me, because I thought that the decisions would be made solely upon skill, with no politics involved. This may affect whether I watch TE3 or not.
When Jake heard Jackie's name announced, for a split second he thought it was his name and started to get up from his chair.
Honk!

I was disappointed to see Linda, but thrilled for Jackie!
The WWE could always use more females. But I wouldnt tune in to see Linda. I was glad Kenny didnt win, but his last match with the trainer WAS awesome. September cant come soon enough.

We should keep a running count on how often Jackie cries on television, it should be at least twenty times by now.
Honk!

The fact is that they took away the 1 ma;e/1 female rule because of what happened last year.
They did NOT want Nidia, but they HAD to pick a woman... and of the 2 finalists, who both sucked, Nidia sucked less (but still sucked).
The WWE wished they could have taken Maven AND Josh/Chris Harvard but the 1M/1F rule prevented that.

There is NO WAY you can argue Linda/Jackie were the BEST two.
