The Ultimate Fighter 8: Who Got Face Time?

This article actually started off as a normal conversation I was having with somebody over AIM. They said I should make an article out of it, and voila. Think of this as a small recap of ther season.

Light Heavyweights

Tom Lawlor (Team Mir) - Took shots and chugged urine.

Vinicius "Vinny" Magalhães (Team Mir) - Had an argument with Nogueira over comments he made about his BJJ style.

Eliot Marshall (Team Mir) - Also had a disagreement with Big Nog over something completely different.

Krzysztof Soszynski (Team Mir) - Played pranks in the house almost every episode.

Ryan Bader (Team Nogueira) - Teased a drunk Junie, got halfway pulled into a pool in one instance.

Jules Bruchez (Team Nogueira) - Hmmm....nothing? In fact, after he lost, he was given no face time for the rest of the season. I forgot he was on the show until I saw he was fighting on the final card.

Kyle Kingsbury (Team Nogueira) - Spunked the sushi after eating urine soaked fruit.

Shane Primm (Team Nogueira) - Got a glass mug thrown at him by Junie in final episode.

Lightweights

Rolando "Roli" Delgado (Team Nogueira) - Had his black belt questioned and was given a "McDojo" black belt by Junie, who then threw it to the ground and spat on it.

Efrain Escudero (Team Nogueira) - Sparred with Stanky for a round.

Phillipe Nover (Team Nogueira) - Fainted in the beginning of the season and ate urine soaked fruit.

John Polakowski (Team Nogueira) - There was an entire episode on how much he loved to hug people.

Junie Browning (Team Mir) - Threw two glasses at two different people (Kingsbury and Primm). Cutting Kingsbury with the first one. Pulled Bader into the pool. Jumped into the cage after Efrain beat Shane Nelson and complained about him being a boring wrestler. Apparently told Nogueira to get his [expletive] hand off of him as well. Also complained he wasn't getting enough mat time and got overall worse since being on the show.

David Kaplan (Team Mir) - Said he couldn't be knocked out, then was KTFO'ed by Tom Lawlor in the bathroom.

Shane Nelson (Team Mir) - Got drunk and picked a fight with Roli.

George Roop (Team Mir) - Severely injured his thumb.

As you can see, some people got little to no face time on this show. Junie hogged most of it but at the same time brought others onto the camera with him. Not necessarily in the way that they would have liked though. I spoke to a cast member from this season and said if you have the skills, that's great, step one completed. Spike TV though is looking for personalities. They decide if you get on the show or not. Sad, but true.
