Since there's a few of us on the forum that watch Tough Enough, but we don't particularly discuss it much, I think this thread would be a good place for us to put our predictions/thoughts on the latest episodes.

HAPPY DISCUSSION <3

Okay, I'm gonna kick this bad boy off with this...

Luke is awesome. his fitness is clearly up there... he has the required talent & execution... his attitude & cockyness MAY let him down, as he just thinks he can win it all by coasting

Skidmark can burn in hell... had too many chances... should've gone in week two..

Matt Cross's elimination was bullsh*t... BUT saying that, Trish straight up gave him a HUGE opportunity to do his thing. Luke stole it from him simply because he was quiet in the ring. Could still make it to the big leagues.

Martin is okay... improving ALOT. Almost at Luke's standard. Alot more reserved though.

Mikael can burn in hell... he's sloppy, his execution is off, he takes bumps badly... BUT he has a great cocky personality which could transfer into a good heel character.

Eric... just woah. Good look, couldn't back it up. Had no motivation... nothing just seemed to make this guy want it enough... The Big Show took him to one side, told him he needs to work on himself & stop sucking so much wind... he was "honoured Big Show chose him to pep talk"... but ignored the lot. Had more chances

Rima shocked me with the punishment she could take... but they were right from the start... she would never have been able to work a full schedule.

Michelle was a straight up liar... 11 years in the business & she can't even hit the ropes properly or hit a summersault... WTH!? Something tells me the only thing she wrestled, is her bedsheets.

Jeremiah is a dark horse... nothing bad can be said about him, his fitness is good, commitment is good, he's tough... But other than that... fact is he'd only ever be a good tag team partner for Trevor Murdoch... "Get your damn teeth outta my ring" Good wording Stone Cold... Even better I guess was DeMott's "I thought they were mine"

Ivelisse... good technique.. I agree with Austin... she could have a future... BUT she gets battered up too easily... and that may prevent her... maybe some time on the indies will help her out... The fact she was on tough enough, should at least get her a TNA contract.

Andy... good look, big guy, very dedicated... Could make it given the right time.

AJ... just gets lost in the shuffle, easy to forget he's there unless he pops up with interview time... Not necessarily a bad thing though, as this means he's not fucking up... BUT he is boring as hell (As Austin put it)

Some of the others just get lost in shuffle... I may have forgotten them.

Skidmarks can burn in hell, when he was asked to do something he tried to throw a little extra into which made him look like a HUGE Jacka**. Made me laugh my a** off when Booker picked up and ripped his shirt like that, he deserved a straight up whooping from Booker & Bill.

My favorite was Ivelisse shes damn good I definitly think she will make it in the big leagues.

I saw potential in her as well but it seems like she can't get through a challenge without being motivated or yelled at quite a bit.

Yeah but she was better then all the girls and most of the guys

I think Andy's gonna turn it up here in the home stretch. He's my dark horse to win the thing.

I really like Jeremiah, but I don't see an "it" factor in him. He's a lovable "Awe Shucks" kind of guy, but I don't see any marketability in him. Not that Larger Than Life marketability that WWE goes for.

Luke is awesome, but I dislike him more and more every time he opens his mouth. I want to see him lose.

I have a feeling that Andy is really gonna stick around for a while and may win it as well. He's got the size and he's not bad in the ring.

Not to mention a family man and a good role model. He's a really likable guy!

For those who havent seen this weeks show i wont spoil it for you, but for those who have:
Christina has really improved over the past few weeks, its like she doesnt care she's smaller than everyone else she just does her best.

I honestly teared up a little bit when Martin got injured. He was one of my favourites, and as for Christina, she's improved so much only for it to get ripped away like that. I hope her injury doesn't sideline her. Both of them coulda gone the distance.

I was waiting for someone to rip AJ a new one. He's likely the next to be voted off.

We're down to three.......

It's finally nice to see some emotion, passion & fire from Andy... I like the guy & I'd like to see him win. But he's got to turn it up. His ring work has to be impeccible, he now has to carve himself a character... Luke may well be the cocky little son of a bitch... but Andy can now turn in to a fiery bastard of a big man... & if he can do that successfully, if he can use his bottom three experience to light that needed fire... he could go all the way.

Jeremiah is still too green... it's been said on many occasions that he's dangerous... yeah he's not a bad talker & he excels at skills... but in the ring... he's not ready. I think he'll be next to go probably for that very reason... that is of course... if Andy turns it up.

Luke... probably going to win the thing... but I think he'll be the kinda to guy to rile up a locker room & piss the guys off... he'll probably walk in and be all cocky & not fully respect WWE locker rooms unwritten rules. I think he'll be too much... and probably in TNA within 18 months.

If Martin wasn't injured he would have definitely won it. He had IT.

The only thing AJ showed me was that promo, outside of it he was never any good.

Agreed. Martin was great, somehow I think he'll still make it. as will Christina (let's face it, her sister is already in there... so no doubt Vince will keep an eye on Christina)

AJ... just so stock. He didn't have anything about him, yeah he cut a good promo. He used his genuine feelings and put them out there... but he was part responsible for Christina's injury... and his ring work was just okay. but "just okay" isn't good enough. He should've gone along time ago.

Even if Jeremiah doesn't win the overall competition, he is the absolute biggest winner in this competition to me. The guy is green as freshly grown grass, and yet he has outlasted so many people WITH EXPERIENCE and made it to the final three. He has the potential to be a big player in the WWE in a few years maybe, but for now, he is far too green.

AJ seriously impressed me with the promo, but that was it. He deserved to be knocked out.

Christina also has what it takes, just from watching her on Tough Enough, it's clear she can hang with the big boys, and it's clear that she has the ability that she needs if she wants to be a top Diva. Not just a top Diva either, but a top Diva who can make WWE's women's matches fun to watch.

Andy... I really think he has that fire lit under his ass now, well and truly. It was clear he was using everything he had not to fly off the handle on Stone Cold, which shows he has that passion, but that could be his downfall too. He cannot handle criticism, and if he wins, he could turn into one of those guys who thinks the sun shines outta their ass and any mistakes they make are the other guy's fault, because they're amazing, and they're the best guy there.

I was just thinking, this must have made for an awkward first day on the Tough Enough set, no? ;D

Also, slightly off-topic, but it has to be said. Bill DeMott has one of the best moonsaults I've ever seen.

My money is on Luke or Andy. Jeremiah is just TOO green to win it. He's come a LONG way but he's too dangerous at the moment.

That being said, Kiel, i would have loved to have seen Big Bill do a Moonsault on Skidmarks. I hate Skidmarks.....

I really liked how Stone Cold put Jeremiah over before eliminating him. I agreed with the decision.

I'm looking forward to seeing next weeks episode at FCW! Luke has been consistent enough that we know what to expect. It's Andy's to win or lose. Luke has set the bar, and I believe Andy can beat him. But, as he's shown throughout this season, he could bring Awkward Andy and blow the whole thing. I can't wait!

Does anyone know what the contract status is for these guys/gals? Do they have 90 day no compete clauses? I'm wondering what's stopping somebody like Jeremiah from showing up in TNA in a few weeks when this is all done...
