 O well. At least you kept trying even when it seemed like you had no chance at all of winning, and you were very well mannered, obviously making a good impression on many people. Props for those achievements.  I will still be watching, though it seems I'm in the minority. I find the real-life challenges fun to watch, even if the actual gaming parts are pretty lackluster in their presentation, and there are still people to cheer for.  | ||

At the end of every episode, there's an elimination round between two contestants, and one of the two is automatically gonna be someone who is terrible at the game. How's it ever gonna be even remotely close that way? And who wants to watch people suck at video games? I mean, I'm sure some of the people are really good at many of the games, but at least one of the people in the elimination round is going to be basically the very worst person at the game out of everyone remaining. Seems like a big problem to me. | ||

 Also, how is it noble to put the worst place finisher up against the best place finisher? Since when is newb bashing noble? He didn't put his own neck on the line. DDR isn't like a racing game or fighting game where there is a chance of messing up and losing. Swoozie would probably win that over 99% of the time. Wow, big risk, let's all make I <3 swoozie shirts. Also, I think that dancing judge is gay for not choosing (Chealsea?) in the 3rd round. Not that there is anything wrong with that. I'm rooting for Jamal now. He's probably annoying as hell to deal with irl, but he's entertaining to watch. I don't see why anyone would root for that twat Dante | ||

As has been said by a few others - this show isn't bad for getting gaming recognition. Unlike CGS (aka CrapGS), it doesn't pretend to be a serious gaming competition. It really doesn't. They don't even bother to show the whole match for the elimination challenge, knowing that their viewer won't care much about it. I just don't understand the hate towards it - the show (on hulu, at least) even always has a commercial for gamers to join the real WCG main event. It is a gateway entry point, something a casual gamer can relate to that might eventually hook them on the more pro-scene. The gaming community needs something to hook the casuals, and I much prefer this approach (a "fake pro-gaming reality TV show" that encourages people to play in real events) than the CGS approach (that tried to make the laughable TV events into what pro-gaming was about). Hence, not watching it out of spite really makes no sense, as its apparent goal seems to be to increase participation in the real pro-gaming scene rather than replace it? | ||

I was screaming for Swoozie to choose like Amy or somebody else that was close to geoffs skill in the isolation chamber to at least make things interesting. I couldn't even watch the elimination this time. As soon as I saw Swoozie pick himself I knew it was over. gah. | ||

Robert's definitely right though, you can't be any good at DDR in 2 days of practice. Having to play on those terrible mats probably sucked too - they could have at least splurged for $100 metal ones. | ||

We don't know the full story due to the editting - give them some slack or I will start issuing bans. It's reality TV. I think we, the viewers, know the full story, ETT! Duh! What, do you think this shit is edited in a way to promote drama and conflict over truth and competition? NO WAY, MAN. NO WAY. | ||
