They mostly look like the kind of people Vince would stereotypically select. I can see the fans rejecting most of them purely on the illusion that they're the hand picked guy that "they" decide the fans should like. True or not, most of the selections have that aura to them. Not to mention a nice chunk of them are former college football players...because that's still a relevant and totally not outdated recruiting standard for wrestling.

Compared the finalist list to the master list from PWInsider. We've got six models (fitness or otherwise), two MMA fighters, two unknowns (meaning that nothing was on the master list besides the name), one ex-football player, a guy from the TV show Swamp People, and one guy who trained with Maryland Championship Wrestling.
As much as I hate it when they milk inspirational stories, it bugs me that they passed up sure marketing things (plus what could've been a ready-made faction in NXT with Ryder, Mojo, and the Big O) for this lot. There's no hook.

I was hoping Khalil Bell and the twins would make it through. Oh well.

There were two sets of them. You meant the Owens?

Just a friendly reminder that the current roster contains 0 Tough Enough winners and 3 losers. I think I'd rather lose Tough Enough based on history. Ryback, Miz and who is the other loser still employed? Nowinski in the office? Is John Morrison the only TE winner to ever get over?

HHH's man management is the polar opposite to Dixie Carter's.

Vince is probably laughing at Zack Ryder right now that his friend Big O was cut

I'm slightly surprised to see that Tough Enough season 6 doesn't have its own thread. So I figured I'd start one.
Thoughts on the first episode.
1. I am already totally invested, I don't know if anyone else is, but I certainly am. For whatever reason, I love this shit. 2. The guy with one leg (Mike?), if he can get himself to a place where his body can handle the wrestling, could be money. What a success story he could be. 3. As someone said in the other thread, Billy Gunn getting pissed off at people for language is hilarious. 4. Jericho was reality showing the f*** out of it at the end there, anyone else find that tremendously weird? 5. Those twins getting pissy with WWE for apparently not being truthful with what the show consisted of... thoughts on that? Booker just laughing in their face tickled me greatly. 6. That male stripper being brought in when he knew nothing about WWE was funny. Some guys clearly got called up just so WWE could mock them, which is petty, but at the same time if you're just seeking fame rather than actually having a passion for wrestling, I think you're kinda deserving of being shat on. 7. Triple H laughing at the guy puking cracked me up as well. 8. The show is admirably ruthless, a few people with sob stories just didn't get through. 'I'm my son's hero... but I am not medically cleared.' 9. I hope the girl with the heart condition turns out okay. If she has some kind of irregularity then she'll benefit from not being medically cleared because it might have... you know... killed her later on. 10. There's a few doppelgangers around. One guy sounded just like Cena in about 50% of his speech, another guy looks like a bigger, buffer Seth Rollins. 11. None of you will give a shit about this, but the gator wrestler is so weirdly reminiscent of my best friend.

Mike Hayes came off like an absolute star on this show, which is weird because he couldn't be on the show. I wouldn't mind him resurfacing on NXT one day if he could get his shit together. However, I can't help but wonder what happens when someone wants to target his legs in a match.

Canyon Ceman sounds like he has a mouth full of marbles, but that sounds to me like a standing dev contract...
