Actually, there's another editing point that bothers me. Alfonso said that the coalition called itself the "Italian Clan." It seems to me that there is a real smell of racism here, since the three people left out by that coalition were the remaining black and Latino fighters. And it seems to me that Stallone, the old "Italian Stallion" himself, was partial to the "Italian Clan," blatantly advocating for the contestants to bring back Ahmed and even hiring Joey to be his spokesperson for his "nutrition line" once the show was over.I also noticed that the key thing in the coalition versus Ishe "kitchen fight" on the Web -- Sergio's contention that someone was feeding the rest of the contestants BS about Ishe, which seemed to fit with what we later saw (and then also see on the Web) Joey doing with Ahmed -- was completely left out of the show.
P.S. In the clip entitled "Joey Schemes to Deceive," we see Peter, Jesse and Alfonso running together late at night after Sergio's fight (while Joey is running with Ahmed, and Lord only knows where Anthony is):
Alfonso says, "I could've beat Ishe tonight too."
Jesse (who says in confessional that he wants to fight Anthony because that will make him "feel good about himself") says, "I could've knocked Ishe out tonight. A slow jab, and then I'd come over with a right hook."
Peter then chimes in with, "I think anyone would've beat him tonight."
So ... who are the trash talkers, Tommy?
