Tecia has a win over Rose and was ranked high for a reason, would be pretty surprised (again) if she lost (again).

What that doesn't take into consideration is that she has been through one weight cut and one fairly rough fight already.

I haven't been watching this show but have been reading this thread on and off and haven't seen Penne mentioned once, I don't think. She came in as a big favorite, so I'm surprised. Has she just had no camera time, or did she lose a fight, or what?

She easily won her fight and made no effort to get herself any camera time, in fact all of her time on the show so far has been with Felice who is excellent at getting talking heads.

Felice loves the camera and it shows. Penne went in there and just steamrolled a rookie like she should.

You might be thinking of Carla Esparza, Penne's opponent was not a rookie. Lisa Ellis has 23 career fights.

Although Penne did steamroll her pretty much as bad as Carla did her opponent.

Was Penne the one who was actively avoiding the camera, for who the production guys had to sneak around to actually get footage of her talking?

Yeah, that's right. Watching her just maul Angela was pretty impressive. She won like a champion should.

For apparently the second week in a row, Amazon has put the episode out early. I'm at work so I can't comment on it yet, but I'm hoping this early release trend keeps up.

Maybe I'm just sexist, but the personal stories in talking-head segments this season are just so hard to watch. I know there have been a ton of dudes with lovely lives/upbringings in prior seasons, but every week is such a bummer now.

Even that aside - just she's just being a good sport and a nice person. They're taking the team aspects way too seriously. There's no "betrayal" or anything going on - the "Scrapettes" are just looking for a reason to talk poo poo. There's literally nothing that Heather could be doing that they wouldn't be poo poo talking right now. If she sabotaged Tecia's weight cut and pissed on her bed, they'd probably say that she was just being "fake" and was desperate to impress them or some poo poo, and that they could "see right through her" again.

gently caress, I hope Torres knocks her out with one of those heel kicks she was throwing.

Sucks that JoJo vs Rose is the last quarterfinal because that's the fight I'm most interested in watching.

It's probably a good fight too if they're saving it for towards the end of the season.

I would be fine with them cancelling the rest of the tournament and awarding the title to the winner of that fight.

I have a feeling Carla vs Tecia and Felice vs Randa are gonna be kind of lovely. But Rose vs JoJo should own and I want to see the manner in which Aisling crashes and burns before getting subbed by Jessica.

I'm kind of thinking that Carla vs. Tecia could be good. Carla will probably wrestle her to death but hopefully in a competitive match
