This ending was horrific, and the format needs serious editing..
I have watched this show for the last however many weeks with guys in my fraternity, and we each had our favorites.. I liked
Jackson a lot, and Park, but both were gone early. I never really
had an opinion on Wolf, but I liked his attitude, "In it to win it." His physical superiority proved once and for all women
can not compete physically with men, period. Not to sound chauvinist through that remark but its an issue that's been around for quite some time... Onto the screwjob.. I have serious doubts on the legitimacy of this show, and am eager to really catch some interviews with the participants. Firstly, I dont understand the jury selection being limited to those dismissed.. This excludes Jackson, Park, and Lauder, all very loyal to Wolf.. All of which disprove those protagonists theory that "Wolf was hated by all." The flip of a coin was a hit against the shows legitimacy.. All in all, the man who showed the courage, and played the game, really won, despite not walking away with the 500,000.. I bet Wolf has more appeal in the entertainment business because of his loss... Im out....

I think that was also Whitlow's attitude
and she played the game better obviously.

It proved no such thing. The most you can say
is that most women cannot compete against the
strongest men. I'm sure a couple of the women
could have beat Yaney in the gauntlet. Be
careful of stereotyping.

Your disclaimer does not exonerate your chauvinism.

>Firstly, I dont understand the

The jury was made up of those who were taken by a voted-off
person to eliminate retaliation from disgruntled recruits
who had been voted off.

Whitlow showed every bit as much courage and managed not
to alienate the other recruits as well, giving her the
win. If this game were based entirely on physical
prowess, Wolf would have won hands down. But it wasn't.
I don't think we'll be seeing any of these recruits in
the entertainment business. This show just wasn't very
popular.

I thought the guy who wrote this was incredibly sexist and really had no idea what he was talking about when he said that obviously men are stronger than woman. I'm 18 years old...I've modeled, I'm the ultimate girly-girl I guess you could say. It comes as a surprise to those who don't know me when they find out I'm in the United States Army. Just like the people on this show, I went to a coed "boot camp" where we were all treated the same. The females were often treated worse because the Drill Sergeants needed to know what we were made of because, physically speaking, we aren't built like men. However, that show didn't do justice to what real training is like. I'm proud to say, that even though the guys were apprehensive about my ability, I graduted along side them and gained their respect. So I'm personally offended by your comment and just so you know...I would gladly take you any day...let's see how tough you are.

I received an email today advising me that a response had been posted to MY post of May of 2001 ! I had called the earlier poster a chauvinist and I defended the women of Boot Camp. Congratulations on your success and for proving me right! I hope you saw this show - it was great! I wish it were still on.
