Did you catch Top Shot last night?

Throwing the tomahawk last night was extremely cool. It wasn't so cool listening to some of the guys complain about it though. They knew when they signed up that they may have to use weapons they weren't familiar with. Didn't they watch last season? It's kind of funny how big of a crybaby some of these people turn out to be. Given the opportunity these guys have, you wouldn't be able to beat the grin off of my face. What difference does it make about the weapon, it's an opportunity to experience new things with some very talented people. How can you beat that?

Anyway, the tomahawk is an awesome weapon. The competition was cool too. A grown up version of Connect Four. The competitors all did a good job with a weapon that very few of them were familiar with.

I thought the right two guys went to the elimination challenge, based on performance during the team challenge. I knew during the practice session that Chris Tilley would be going home. He did come close to pulling it out though. I think Daryl choked more than Chris Tilley excelled. In the practice Daryl was a stone cold badass with the blow gun. From almost his very first shot he was nailing it.

Adios Chris Tilley.


I'm looking forward to next week. It looks to be a lot of fun. Trick shooting was one of my favorite episodes from last year, and the shots this year look to be much tougher.
