I watched a couple of episodes yesterday for the first time. Even though they are covered in steel, they can really get hurt. I saw a couple of guys get banged up pretty bad yesterday. You couldn't pay me enough to do that.

Actually, I want to give it a try. =)

I wonder if they would ever consider having regional teams? I missed Sat's episode and watched it at Midnight on Sunday. Saw up to the point where the one guy got unhorsed and ended up bloody. Looked like he had a serious scalp laceration and it just bled down onto his face from him being on his face for a bit.

What do you think about the reality show aspect? How much they show what goes on "in the house"?

Things are getting REAL. They are going to start 2 jousts per episode. So that means less of the "reality show" crap and more of the jousting.

This weekend, a guy takes a lance to the nut-sack. OUCH!!!!
