FYI: Top Shot is on tonight

[Hookeye]

Title is misleading.

It should be "Possibly best shooter among idiots involved in a soap opera".

Tried to watch it last yr, terrible. Tuned in for first time last night....done.

Littlejohn was said to be "half-cocked and ball-less" this week during the challenge. Hilarious. Was that flintlock what captain jack sparrow uses?

Making the mistake of being half-cocked is one thing. Standing there in vapor-lock with that dumb look on his face is another. Yell back to your teammates. Tell them what is going on. One of them will run through the checklist for you.

No ability to think. Emotional at the wrong time. Total douchebag.

You didn't see the last episode obviously.

He's combined crying with freezing up and utter stupidity.

Three strikes for sure.

I did see the episode. I'm not saying the guy isn't a complete tool. He froze up in competition and cries a lot. Doesn't mean he is always going to freeze up or cry while working. Not defending the guy as I don't know him but you might be surprised if you knew the amount of people that are suppose to be manly men that have frozen in competition and might cry a little too much. Of course, nobody on the internet as everyone on the internet is perfect.

I still think he's faking. Nobody can be THAT bad! I think he's throwing it for the team, hoping to get voted into elimination. He won both of his eliminations, both without standing at the line with a dumb look on his face. I think he knows he won't win, so he is trying to get as many $2000 BPS gift cards as he can.

Like the show and the shooting, hate the soap opera parts. I get up early to go to work so I am usually in bed by 10 so I tape show and watch on Wednesday, that way I can watch shooting parts and skip most of the soap opera. Works for me.

 

[boileralum]

Agree. And what the hell is a World Champion Grenadier?

He's the world's best wing man - he hits on all the fat friends like jumping on grenades.

I finally watched the last half of this week's episode last night (DVR FTW). I don't think Littlejohn froze up quite as much as we all believe. Sure, he made some BIG mistakes (half-cocked and dropped the ball), but if you watch closely...

It looks like they edited the footage and repeated/looped several shorter bits to make it LOOK like he was standing there forever. You can hear the other team in the background yelling directions, and you can see the red teams's platform. Watch closely, and you hear and see the same sequence more than once, but from different camera angles, making it appear that Littlejohn was standing there longer than he really was.

Can't believe the red team blew it. They should have SMOKED the blue team.

Like the show, love the challenges, hate the forced drama. I mean, come on, who wouldn't jump at the chance to fire a flintlock like a pirate! Arrrrr, matey!

 

[Tripp11]

From this point on, I'm betting Little John cries or gets emotional and starts to cry AT LEAST 3 more times before the season is over.

On another note, how in the hell does an ex-Marine (Chee Kwan) end up slamming the bottom of the platform not once, not twice, not three, but four times?!?! WTF?

I have noticed them doing this in the first two seasons that are on Netflix right now. Their editing is horrible and OBVIOUS that they are "creative" with the way they portray the events of the challanges. I have also noticed retakes or "reshoots" if you will. Who knows if that changes the outcome of the event or if they are like typical competition reshoots and had a prob malfunction.

How many of you know that Russ Combs, the muzzleloading expert on the latest episode, is a Hoosier? Russ is a real laid back guy. It was nice to see someone I know on the show.

I didn't know that! Very cool.

Did a quick Google of Russ:
2007 State Muzzle Loading Champion in 3 classes!

THE I.T. GUY WINS TOP SHOT!!!!

THE I.T. GUY WINS TOP SHOT!!!!

I'm glad. I hated that other guy. He should have been gone a long time ago.

 

[Aggar]

I'm glad. I hated that other guy. He should have been gone a long time ago.

I agree. He choked so many times.

 

[Double T]

Bummed. I liked Gary, but glad that little john lost.

 

[acss502]

I agree. He choked so many times.

He always did terrible, but someone always did just worse than him. He's just lucky I guess

 

[Tsigos]

I was glad Chris won. it was cool to see an amateur take the title. Although Greg was inconsistent, he put together a nice clean run in the finale but came up just short.

THE I.T. GUY WINS TOP SHOT!!!!

Hey, I'm an IT guy, there's still hope!

I'm so glad that Littlejohn did not win. Anyone but him. It was neck and neck, the last stage being the grenade launcher, and LJ is a "World champion grenadier". Chris never even shot the gl. It was complicated to load if I remember right. I was so glad when he was the victor.

Sucks to know this is the last season of top shot.
