Something else to remember on the voting, when you get to the end you (in theory, with how this has tanked who knows) have a lot of people who had their favorite voted off and aren't afraid to take it out on the most popular person, deserved or not. For how long WWE has pushed ZZ as crap that needs to go, only for him to survive, the backlash based on that could easily drive the percentages wonky.

Ugh Amanda. They really can't find an equally attractive fitness model with maybe a brain and/or a soul elsewhere? Looking like Miz singlehandedly got Amanda a job. If not for him she would've been long gone and forgotten and the overpraised loser would've been Gigi. I guess they're just going to forget about that whole thing where she was just attempting to name and shame contracted workers, officials and producers on an official WWE twitter account.

All I know is, this Thread is winding down...
I'm gonna miss mocking the "Wrestling Preparation" challenges, the votes, the overall anger and displeasure, the complete implosion of any likability for Paige
What a thrilling ride it was for Tough Enough. Please never ever do this again. And I doubt after this fiasco they will in this way ever again...
As Booker said "This is a one time thing" well this season really spelled that shit out...

it was a 2 minute match like ZZ could handle 3 more minutes. Josh was given a longer match and he couldn't handle it either. in the long run a much better choice than ZZ.

Bryan tried to talk up ZZ, and talk about the sloppiness of Josh's match, and Jericho shut him down. That's what pisses people off. Fair enough. Just the thought behind "rigged" to me is modifying or ignoring the votes which we have years of evidence that WWE does not do on top of that being highly illegal. It's more than a little suspect though that in addition to the "Digital Extras" being released that almost solely feature the judges either yelling at ZZ or verbally running him down ("get him off our show"), there was the story that WWE wanted him gone, USA being unhappy with winners not amounting to anything, and then ZZ loses with such a large difference in percentage. Even considering that WWE doesn't rig fan voting on everything else, there's something to the idea that they rigged the voting.

It's only illegal if it's a phone or txt vote where you have to pay. WWE could rig Tough Enough app votes as much as they want.

Once Patrick was eliminated I kind of went into hate-watch mode. Now I'm pretty glad it's over with. I think Amanda has something there if she can develop the "bitch from Tough Enough" persona into an actual wrestling character. ZZ will probably find another reality show soon enough. Patrick, Mada, GiGi and possibly Daria might end up with a contract eventually. As for the winners, I hope Josh spends a loooooooooooong time in training before he is called up to NXT television. I imagine him getting Eva Marie level heat otherwise. Sara will get a shot at being a ring announcer or a backstage interviewer if she completely sucks in training. About the only thing I liked about this season was the coaches' personality. I'd much rather watch a six week run of a show about the three of them on a road trip than another season of Tough Enough.

WWE didn't mess with the winner on NXT season 2 when they had the legal loophole of the votes only counting for part of the final winner. They sure as hell aren't going to do it when they don't have that safety net. Sure they skew the perception of people by editing the footage to what they want people to see... but that's reality television. That's what the entire genre is based on.

I can only imagine the lovely reception they'll get from the NXT roster when they walk into the performance centre with their 250k contract and 10 weeks of experience.

Yep, Josh sure is going to join that legendary list of superstars that were pushed down the fans' throats.

It's been a great show and I've watched every single episode of it, but there's no way either Josh or Sara will go far in WWE. Sara will be stuck in NXT and probably just be released when nobody cares. Josh on the other hand might get to do a few matches on TV, but his gimmick probably won't stick.

Who could ever forget the Summer of Shaniqua? It made reign of terror Triple H look like a chump.
