Yeah, I'm not very happy about. 🙁

I don't think I'm even going to watch next weeks episode. 🙁



<< Heh, I'll bet that you're bummed now, hammer! >>

 
wooooooooo hooo say what you want, but bravo deserved that one 😉

they were the underdogs since the beginning (well, not including charlie...)

i mean everybody thought they were gonna be screwed cuz they were a swat team, and they just outright owned everyone!!~

yah, it's great how delta managed to put down personal issues and pulled out a near perfect op, but well, bravo pulled out a perfect one

can't wait to see next week's episode, looks like they're gonna go speedball style and shoot at each other. now THAT is what i've been waiting for
 
I'm not saying they didn't deserve to win, but Bravo is boring. They don't have a Baz, Helvenston, Spicer, or "The German". Byers and Corwin are ok. Btw, WTH did Byers say before he turned off the lights and everyone laughed?
 
Bravo definately doesn't have the characters that the other teams did. No Baz, Helv, Winn, Spicer, Oates, Ozzie, etc. No one fancy in particular.

Beyers said he was going to dream about something, forgot what it was. Something girly 😛

I'd like to see either Kain or Claggett win. For some reason Dever calls him Sparticus 🙂
 
Anyone capture the epsiode last night? I going to try to get it on the rerun. I just want the clips of him going off on Winn and Utterback. I'll post the links if I get them. 🙂
 
Actually he went off on Dever 🙂 He was the one who called him on the dock

I have a tv tuner (not the best quality) and can capture those parts for ya if you want. It'll just be in standard mpeg, don't have any divx stuff installed. It'll be large but I can do it.
 
Yeah, that would be great Bruno, thanks 🙂

I always get Utterback and Devers confused. Devers is also that made O'Shea cry right? 😀


I'd like to see Byers win. He is the team leader, and if you can blamed teams losing consistently on poor leadership, then you can credit Byers' leadership for Bravo's victory.
 
agreed, bravo was boring as hell, but they did their job and did it well


i admit, i would've loved to see scott or nutter win
 


<< they were the underdogs since the beginning (well, not including charlie...) >>

Only by perception, not in ability, expertise, experience, etc. They consistently kicked ass the whole way through, and there was no pressure for them. They just clicked as a whole group.

Helveston is, as that one guy said, like a child who screams and throws a temper tantrum until he gets attention and someone says "Awww, what's wrong wit da wittle Scottie Wattie? Didgi-bibbi-bobby-googoo da wittle Scottie Wattie?" What a disgrace to the Navy SEALs and the United States Military.
 
tscenter: I think you being hard on Scott. He was doing whatever it took for his team to win. If the meant screwing with the other teams head he did. Alpha should have kicked Delta a$$ easily on several occasions as they were the 'better' team younger, stronger, faster, etc. Scott destroyed them cause it became more about getting him than anything else. As for his temper tantrum, as a SEAL he is used to being able to trust his team with his life, and what Winn did was a total betrayal for the team, and it drove him nuts. Also, Scott has fought for this country and put his life on the line on many ocassions, won a gold medal for this country, etc. He is no disgrace.
 


<< tscenter: I think you being hard on Scott. He was doing whatever it took for his team to win. >>

This was NEVER about "the team", it was about Scott. He was the LAUGHING STOCK OF THE ENTIRE SHOW. All the other teams laughed at him, and it wasn't because he was 'funny', it was because the only way to respond to utter idiocy like that is to laugh. They were EMBARRASSED of and for him.

Virtually EVERY participant on the show, including the COMMAND, said in no uncertain terms that SCOTT HAS THE MIND OF A CHILD. How many SEALs came forward to state ON CAMERA that Scott Helveston IN NO WAY represented the Navy SEALs and that people shouldn't judge the SEALs by one idiot? Several.

You cannot see that Scott was completely about Scott and the way Scott thought things should be and if he didn't like it EVERYONE was going to hear about it and suffer? That is for the team? Not from any team I've ever been on nor would I want to be.

What did all of Scott's antics get his team? A trip home...
 
Did you watch the episode? They kicked a$$ on this mission. Bravo was just perfect on this mission. His team was 5-1 going in with the one lost to an undefeated team. I'd say they did very well.



<< What did all of Scott's antics get his team? A trip home... >>

 
I gotta agree tcsenter about Scott. You could tell in the rest of his teams eyes on the last show that they did not like him much. That he was embarrassing them. I'm sure they thought he was great in the field and helped them acheive all the wins that they did. But off the field, he was an embarrassment.

Also, did anyone catch that glimpse of (near) fear in Scott's face when Winn confronted him about talking behind his back? That was priceless.

EDIT: Typo and...
Baz should have definitely gotten some sort of award for keeping the team together and winning all that time. Want the true champion? I'd say look at Baz, not Scott. Scott was no where near close when you look at what the contest was about. Scott wins the award for most airtime (either directly or indirectly).

And just because Bravo was boring when you compare them to the other teams should not diminish what they acheived. They lost most of the bonus rounds yet went undefeated. And they did a perfect mission on the last episode. Not only not lose a man like Delta, they even beat Delta's time by 6 minutes.
 


<< Did you watch the episode? They kicked a$$ on this mission. Bravo was just perfect on this mission. His team was 5-1 going in with the one lost to an undefeated team. I'd say they did very well. >>

1 man killed @ 25 minutes vs. 0 men killed @ 19 minutes. 6 minutes! We never saw how the one team who never won a single event would have done, they might have done just as good as Delta. We only saw one other team do that mission, so we don't know that 1 man killed @ 25 minutes was all that great.

Did you ever see how Scott responded to his own mistakes? Ho hum, guess "we" gotta do better next time. But, someone else makes a mistake, watch the hell out, it was "their" mistake, not the team's. What a loser.

What I meant was what did Helveston do besides distracting his team from their missions and instead making them spend their energies worrying about 'Uh oh, what is wrong with Scott now and how can we correct this problem?' Besides being the DIVISIVE member of the team who brought out the worst in everyone else? Besides all those 'attributes', what the hell did all of Helveston's antics and tantrums get them?

Was all Scott's BS worth it? There was no second place.

In the end, it was the cooler heads who prevailed, as usual.
 
I guess with Scott yuou either like him or hate him, there's no halfway point. I personally like the guy, he's a little crazy, but thats ok. He made the show interesting, it wouldn't have been the same without him.
 
From what little I've seen of the show, Scott is the one who tries to make it like ordinary, crappy 'reality' tv. Just like the "Real World" where all they do is bitch and moan. That pretty well describes Scott.

The reason I even watched it at all was because most of the other characters rose above that kind of crap. Scott liked to talk big but when it came down to it he wasn't very good at all. He got his ass decimated at the gauntlet and then just placed all the blame on someone else. If you can't back up your mouth, don't open it.

Bravo deserved to win, and I'm glad they did.

Just my opinion, of course.

agreed, i like em 😀
 
I don't think anyone disagrees with you there, they were 6-0. It's just that Bravo is slightly more exciting than a Pre-Cade Courtley Charlie. 🙂

Every reality show needs a "bad" guy. Its part of the formula. Won't work without it.

Geez, this topic is still alive? And what's with all the Scott Helvenston worshipping, Hammer? Is he your long-lost twin brother, or something? 🙂
 
Hehe, nah. I hate not having anything interesting to watch Wednesday nights now. 🙂
