lol yeah sorta I guess. Except they live in a huge house together. It was a cool show, but didn't the young kid eventually lose and get eliminated (I forget his name... Kelly?)? His moron team was putting him in the competition to get eliminated every week and he was their best competitor. Was pretty sad. I didn't watch the finale though.

I've tried to watch it twice. I like the shooting but could do without the Big Brother crap in between. The show is supposed to be about the guns, not how the group is trying to set one member up for failure.

Watched it maybe 2x and I didnt like it, too little about shooting and too much about bs.

I did catch the finale last night, ok maybe pressure made it tough but if these guys are so good (last 2) then why on earth did they miss so badly at every single stage? A true marksman has no problem hitting targets like they did while under pressure.

+1. Watched one episode of it and wasnt thrilled. Too much of the reality show BS going on and too little shooting.

It's like they were trying to make it into a man's reality show or something. ha. When they actually were shooting it was a good show, but all the other crap turned me off of it. Only watched it once or twice. If it was all shooting it would get a lot better ratings.

i thought it was about long range precision shooting and what not but instead they had a guy with a long range scoped bolt action rifle shoot targets at 200yds...a marine recruit must hit a target 500 yds away with open sights with an ar. they had stupid shots like hay lets point the gun the other way look in a mirror and shoot a balloon 20ft away. i just figured they were going to get the best and push them to their limits but i guess not.

pretty much everything they did was insanely hard... granted not all of them were successful but all of the shots were still hard to get the hang of basically overnight (if it was in fact overnight)... I thought the show was going to be different also though... actually I had no idea it was a "reality show"...I thought they would just shoot and if you missed you were out. didn't know you got voted off by your peers... really stupid idea considering one of the best guys on the show got voted out because his teammates were jackazzes

I loved how they put the specialists out of their comfort zones with different weapons. I'm a bowhunter and it was a kick watching all the pro's get frustrated shooting the bow, and throwing the knives

There was to much time spent on the *****ing and bickering in the show. And God only knows where they got some of these guys. The first show with the 03 was just pitiful.:ermm:
