I don't mind the loser going home but I thought it was wrong for Dana not to tell the guys the situation. He could have told the guys and we would have seen the guys at their peaks. Afterall, this is about fight skills and if they want to be drama queens on the show, that's their business. Think about the guys who went home. They told their family and friends that they were going be on TUF, only to be going back home only after couple of days. It is a huge embarassment. What would have Dana lost by telling the guys upfront what's going on? In the end, the better fighters would be left anyway. I understand the "Ruediger" argument but who cares about that if he can make weight and put on a good fight? Anyways, what these guys got was false information, whatever sacrifice they made for 6 weeks of expected filming and some serious beatdowns with nothing in return. I just dont see what could have been lost just by telling these guys straight up whats going to happen. Either way, we'd be left with 16 better fighters.
