    It isn't called Money Shot.
    That's a different show entirely.

    There is a reason this guy has bounced all over the place in his career and life. You can find his bio online if you look for it. The reason is himself. He has accomplished a lot, but doesn't stick around long...I have a feeling there is a lot of burnt bridges in his wake.

    There is no honor in this guy. I hate it when people play the victim card, especially capable people.

    Jake is a jackwagon. That being said, they don't pick SEAL's for their sense of fair play. Jake is playing the game to win by any means necessary. His language and antics are not what I'd want as traits for my kid's football coach (if that's what he is). My money's on Dustin.

    I like how he wants to send the best to elimination, but when it's HIM going he gets all torqued up because he did well, and only THEN should it be based on performance.

    LOL. The irony/hypocrisy is rich.

    I stopped watching this farce. I wanted to see a show about shooting competition. I tried recording it, but after FF though the commercials and drama, there really isn't much to see. The absurd theatrics entertain some people but turns me off. If I wanted to see that kind of crap I would watch the infantile day time programing. What don't they just bill it as TopShot - Soap Opera Style.

    He should be in the elimination every week, IMHO.
    Once I realized that he was playing a game and trying to scam the system, I could tolerate him much more.
    Even though I have NO respect for him at all.
    And I also don't think he should be allowed around kids at all because of his attitude. ;)

    If the guys left in the house were smart at all they would be short sheeting his bed, hiding his socks, and whatever other college pranks they could think of.
    I am telling you, he would lose it.

    I was sad to see the red haired guy go (forgot his name) because I thought he had Jake figured out and was dishing it right back out and laughing about it.

    If it was a show to simply show who was the best shooter, then yes, be honorable. It's a game show. You play to win the money. Period.

    I agree, i think that everyone has to remember that with this being a tv show with money up for grabs there are always going to be people who look at as that and try and play the game while trying to make themselves out to be either the good guy/woman or the victim somehow.

    either way I think that if you go on tv with the intent to win a grand prize of cash money then you should approach it that way, if you want to see who is the better shooter , then haul your 5th point of contact down to the range and blow through about a thousand rounds.

    If you look at the people that do that, though.
    They never win.
    The drama troublemaker types might make to the finals but they never win.
    So, if it never results in a win, why do it?

    Jake may very well win the whole thing, he is good. He has his strategy an I'm ok with that, others want to compete against the best, I have no problem with that either. Jake is a arse though, as a former Navy Seal I see no team work in him an NO leadership of any kind. Leadership doens't mean blowing up all the time an throwing a tantrem, or trying to start fights. I don't know how he made it in Seals I really don't. He has some real problems stemming back to his childhood, too immature an too much of an A (azz) personality for me....wouldn't let my kids get anywhere near that immature guy. Hope he looses, it would be a blow to his over inflated ego....

    Jake is the only Top Shot competitor so far whom I'd like to see removed from the competition because there was an accidental discharge to the back of his head.

    I seriously don't like that douche.

    Im all about trying to win. I mean at the heart of it, it is a game. There is a prize at the end. I just think he could do it with a little more class.
