1. "RE: Top Shot" |
Once you get past 'actor, adventurer and athlete' (which, locally, took about forty minutes), this almost sounds like an interesting idea. I might try to catch the premiere.

2. "Premiere." |
I watched large portions of it. A few notes:1. One female contestant? The host couldn't bother to actively recruit in his own state, let alone glance down any random block in his own hometown? 2. Gosh, I wonder what the primary influence on Colby's hosting style could be? Or who... His introduction was fun just from waiting for the entire pool to chorus on 'Who's Colby Donaldson?' (They may have held it back until they got inside.) 3. The elimination format is slightly quirked -- very slightly: it's mostly pasted together from bits of other shows. It sounds like the group/tribal format will be run as far as it can, with no merge or individual Immunity battles on the horizon -- but that may just be what the producers want everyone to think. Public votes are scary things for the contestants: every alliance is going to be out in the open, and each bullet represents one hit on a membership count. Hopefully this is a mature group. Or at least one holding single-shot voting guns. That can only fire when they're facing the targets. Not a good place for the next RussHell to turn up... I don't mind having the faceoff element to eliminations: this is a skill challenge more than a social one, and someone picked out as the worst should get a chance to prove everyone wrong. Similarly, if the rest of the field is trying to knock you out because they feel you're too strong, they could learn to regret it -- but the penalty there (beyond the luck factor) is opening up the classic Big Brother pawn position. 'We're going to vote you into the elimination challenge so you can take our real target out.' As if that could ever backfire. 4. The show is going to have a hard time keeping challenges from being extremely repetitive. 'Hit this target using this weapon. Now hit that target using a different weapon. Later on, you'll need to move over to those targets... underwater...' If you're not into marksmanship or can't bring yourself into the mindset, then this isn't going to be your series. 5. The early editing is shaky. Who are these people? We're not going to tell you. Say, anyone need a scenery shot? Local animal? Rotation image of the next weapon to be used? That's much more important! Meeting so few of the sixteen pointed out the elimination participants early and turned the silent into cannon fodder. On this show, that could wind up being literal.

4. "RE: Premiere." |
LAST EDITED ON 06-07-10 AT 09:07 PM (EST)I posted over in Survivor Fanatics (I thought me and suzzee were the only ones watchin) He's channeling his inner Probst.... I bet Jiffy got a chubby watching this  As for the show, I was first interested bc my late sister was air rifle shooter and was top female in PA for 2 yrs I think. I was bummed too that there is only one woman. As for not knowing anyone, it could be low budget (or they needed to spend all the money on exploding targets)or they let us know the people that were players in ep. 1. They focused on Mike and Kelly (the young kid) bc they were the first in the elim. challegne and Aaron (he's from Pittsburgh!) bc he was the doomed spotter. The blue team only focused on the woman bc she is the only one and the Asian man who knew Mike well and did not like Kelly shooting a smiley face. They were really the only ones featured. Can we take anything from this yet like the editing in Survivor?? who knows? And for challenges, they ae going to use all kinds of weapons including knives--but will they have a woman bolted to a wall? or may they can use Colby

10. "RE: Top Shot" |
I'm actually getting into this -- thanks to hulu I'm fully up to date. Funny, because I'm not a gun enthusiast in any way.Of course, I find the interpersonal drama a bit of a bore, and have to admire the gumption of a couple of the "you've taken your final shot" folks. I'm still not sure about the open voting twist, and this notion of a 'vote for me so I can beat the pants off someone else' is bound to (if you'll pardon the pun) backfire. Gonna have to TiVo the next couple of episodes as I'll be off-continent.

Yeah, shame about Kelly, he fought the good underdog fight, lost on time not aim. Thought that first challenge was going to last all week! But at least it was about precision. The second challenge with running uphill and all, whoever went first just set the clock.

Was disappointed to see Kelly go, but happy Adam went. Of those left, I'm hoping JJ can pull it off. He's my first pick, but I like the attitude of Chris as well. Iain and Peter seem just a little too full of themselves.

LAST EDITED ON 08-16-10 AT 11:01 AM (EST)Congrats, Iain! Got to say, for a show based on something I couldn't care less about, firing weapons, as a competition it was pretty exciting. The final challenge, at least, was a virtual photo finish. The first challenge was just basically who could overpower the guy he was pit against, good-bye Red Team. Shame JJ knocked himself from contention in the second trick shot horse game challenge, he would have rocked on that final challenge. Oh well. Them's the breaks, pilgrim. Iain seemed like a pretty solid chap throughout the series, if a bit bland, glad to see someone prevail other than one of the headstrong drama queens.

I had missed an ep or 2 so was glad there were re-runs/re-plays, whatever. I taped those and was able to catch up.I hated to see Kara go but it was the only decision she could make. Would hope if they do this again, they ask her to return. The last 3 comps were great. JJ really rocked on the 1st pistol challenge - it was funny that all 3 of the other guys knew they didn't want to go up against him  These last guys had great attitudes; still competitors but still respectful of each other and the skills of each. Congrats Iain. I'm country & proud of it! Thanks Agman 2010

Got to say, Colby did a pretty good job of channeling Probst, by the end his screaming play-by-plays may even have annoyed and distracted the shooters themselves.

I never got to know most of them, but I cracked up the episode where the one guy kept going on and on about the other one being a "rat fink". Every episode after that, he became the rat fink guy.

At this point, Colby should just change his name to Jiffy Junior and be done with it. (On the other hand, he's working Phil's hairstyle. Hosting infidelity!) His speech rhythms, stance, and I think he's actually taken on the accent... gah. At least he isn't making nothing except leading statements during the pre-vote meeting. Yet. No, hitting closest doesn't qualify you to be team captain, and it's a fair observation to make. But at least JJ didn't imitate his father and make the captains choose on the spot based on appearances: they got some time to find out just who was out there to choose. Not that it helped... That was a nasty pair of opening challenges. The first came with no warning or practice time for a weapon most contestants have likely never handled, and the second had the weather factor -- which almost had to have put its own hurt on the blue team's time. (Not the full eleven minutes, but figure one or two.) The editing would like us to start hating George. The editing may find us cooperative. And the casting department's made a huge improvement! Now we have two females!

I am watching. I agree that Jay has gotten more likable. I am almost rooting for him now. I like Ashley, too.

I want Joe or Chris to win.I'm with you on Joe, but I'd rather see Gunny/Brian than Chris. Chris got a good edit last night, but he was also talking about his alliance with Joe and George, and George is such an utter douche that it contaminates his alliance-mates in my eyes. Gunny seems to be on the outside, and he's been shown expressing his distaste in the way bullies George and Ashley were treating others. I'd like to see him win if for no other reason than that. Joe is the next least objectionable. What it really comes down to, though, is anyone but George.  Slice n' Dice's Sigpic Chop Shop 2004

wow Chris' edit changed in a hurry. I loved that he won and George redeemed himself a bit. Gunny didn't need $. I'm glad Chris won! Colby did a lot better this year as host imho

not quite enough redemption tho; George was so horribly rude and ugly to Jay. There was just no reason for that.
