By Jesse Holland
Episode 7 begins with a recap of last week’s fights and Jens gets overly excited about being 5-1 against Team Penn. Dana has a pow-wow with BJ and tells him he’s losing control of his team and that he needs to be a general.
As if BJ wasn’t feeling bad already Dana then hits him below the belt, and I mean way below by warning him not to become this season’s Ken Shamrock.
Ouch.
BJ must have really stewed over the comparison because by the time he got back to the gym he blew a gasket and kicked Andy Wang off the team for not listening to him all season.
Not since Lee Majors has there been a bigger fall guy as a stunned Wang pleads with BJ to keep him on the team. We get a shot of BJ on the treadmill and he has trouble giving Wang any kind of explanation as to why he was removed.
I’m not sure if it had more to do with the fact that he was fed up with Wang and had nothing else to add or that it was his first time on a treadmill in two years and couldn’t find the strength to speak.
Wang tries to get philosophical and calls himself a Ronin. I’m sure somewhere out there Carlos Newton is shaking his head in disgust.
Wang refuses to go quietly and Dana is called to the gym. Dana explains that Wang needs to be there in case they need an alternate fighter and asks Team Pulver to adopt the outcast.
Jens and Co. agree and actually look forward to the new addition but when Wang gets the news he hangs his head like a scolded dog. He tries to tell Dana that he’s from Hawaii and so is BJ, and it wasn’t supposed to go down like this.
Dana cannot comprehend anything Wang is saying and soon goes ballistic. He drops about 20 F-bombs and tells Wang he should be on his hands and knees thanking Jens for even considering taking him.
For the first time all season I was yelling at the TV, just hoping that Dana would tell Wang to pack his bags and GTFO.
No such luck. Wang reluctantly joins his new team and I was beginning to think that BJ wasn’t so irrational for booting him in the first place.
Moving on, we get to the last preliminary fight picks and Weems calls out Gray which surprised me since Matt (at least on paper) seemed like the lesser of two evils. That leaves Sims and Wiman as the final bout and we’ll finally get to see just how indestructible Marlon is.
At the next training session Jens praises Weems, calling him this season’s most improved fighter. He also refers to him as a black sheep in a white field. And while I can appreciate the analogy, I’m not sure how flattering it is as a fighter to be compared to a sheep.
Prior to the fight, Weems proclaims his ability to take a punch to the head and when I see his record is 16-2 I try to convince myself that you can’t judge a book by its cover.
Then Weems disrobes and I decide that in this case I can probably get away with it. Color me judgmental but a shirtless Weems does not look like a guy who trains MMA.
The fight begins and Weems gets clocked by Gray with an overhand right and then taken down with ease. He instinctively holds on to Gray’s head but eventually lets go. Gray is working the guillotine until Weems rolls onto his belly leaving his head exposed.
Gray pops up and starts pummeling him ala Hughes/Gracie. Weems makes no effort to defend or escape and seems content to just get bludgeoned into unconsciousness. Gray pounds away for what seems like an eternity until Herb Dean (surprise) jumps in and calls it a fight.
Early stoppage, late stoppage, no stoppage, Herb just can’t seem to get it right lately.
After the fight Weems storms to the back and goes apeshit. He then explains that he’ll never quit or give up but from where I stand just covering up and taking punishment is pretty much the same thing. Gray and the rest of Team Penn have a good laugh but the focus quickly shifts to the next fight.
Back at the house Marlon adds to his legendary reputation by claiming to have been rundown by a speeding Oldsmobile and knocked unconscious for more than two hours. I’m not sure if that was before he discovered the Ark of the Covenant but it was definitely after he stormed the beach at Normandy.
Marlon also claims that no fight of his has lasted more than 90 seconds and he’s on a mission to show the MMA world that Muay Thai is back. Hopefully, he’ll fare a little better than Kit Cope did — who professed the same thing a few years back.
On the other hand Matt is spending his time before the fight arguing with himself over which nickname best suits his devastating good looks. Apparently, Marlon isn’t the only one with delusions of grandeur.
During the commercial we get the results of the Amp’d Mobile poll that asked whether or not Wang deserved to be booted from Team Penn.
The results were 0% yes and 0% no.
Now it was either a technical glitch that wasn’t caught, or the ratings are so bad that not one remaining viewer cared enough to make the call. If I were Dana I might want to get the answer to that one before signing off on the budget for TUF 6.
Five minutes left in the show as the fight begins and Marlon comes out with some kind of bizarre King Tut stance and absolutely no head movement. Not surprisingly he takes one square on the chin because of it.
Marlon collapses faster than Larsen B and Matt quickly takes his back and works for the choke. He eventually secures it and puts Marlon to sleep. Afterwards Marlon is wonderfully jovial and as strange as it might sound, comes off almost normal.
To his credit, he was right about one thing. This match (like all his others) didn’t go more than 90 seconds.
Well that wraps up the preliminary matches and if we’re lucky, also the mediocrity. While Gray and Matt both looked strong, neither of their opponents provided much resistance and a one-sided beat down is entertaining only to a point.
Stay tuned next week as we start the quarterfinals, BJ and Jens get hot and bothered, and two eliminated fighters duke it out in the backyard.
See you then!

I think you made an error in your recap. You said you were surprised Weems didnt choose Marlon. He couldnt. Marlon was on his team. He had to choose between Wiman and Maynard.
Also, I know Herb is controversial, but i think he’s pretty good. He’s no Big John, but he’s still good. I dont think he stopped the Maynard fight late. Maynard got position and was being lazy with his punches, he should’ve teed off.
No head movement? You really are king of the understatements. Even my girl commented on how far that guy had his chin out. I no sooner laughed and said yeah he won’t last long…Really they both seemed to land but Marlon aimed for the eye and Matt couldn’t miss that chin from his start position. Maybe he needs Rampage for some tuck your chin training. Better show though. Two at a time seems to pay off for them.
“Prior to the fight Weems proclaims his ability to take a punch to the head and when I see his record is 16-2 I try to convince myself that you can’t judge a book by its cover.”
I was thinking, “There are 16 ppl in the world Wayne Weems can beat up?”
I think Matt has just a wicked sense of humor Jesse, I really dont think he was being serious.
I was wondering if you were gonna mention the 0%/0% poll. Guess NO ONE in the world has an Amp’D Mobile phone. What was the funniest part of tonite show.
How many F bombs did Dana drop in the first 7 mins of the show, 30-40? At one point is was just a running series of beeps.
And lastly, Andy Wang is a fu.cking idiot. WTF was going through his prima donna, 15 minute of fame, please look at me, it wasnt supposed to go down like this, I’m as ungrateful as they come head? I was thinking, huh, Jens is gonna let him join and Dana’s not gonna kick him off? I bet we see the Spike TV version of Asian Twinks in Heat here soon. Wrap up for next show, Mike Rowe will end with, “And the quarter finals will continue, Wayne cries some more, and Andy blows Jens one more time for saving his career.” What a frigging dumbass.
Where do they find these kids, in front of a TV playing PrideFC on their Xboxes?
(Hope that wasnt to over the top, but that scene just totally pissed me off. Can you tell? )
Worth the torrent if you missed this episode.
Well, I wrote a long post for me and it seems to have vanished. Great.
Glad you noted the 0%/0% poll. That was funny as hell.
Andy Wang should have acted like an Asian twink in heat to Jens and Dana, but instead sits there and whines like shemale. That whole seen pissed me off.
How many F Bombs did Dana drop in the first 8 mins of the show?
I didnt know there were 16 ppl in the world Weems could actually beat up. He also had one of those Danny Abaddi statements, “I’m not real technical, I mean my striking’s not technical and my jui-jitsu isnt technical, I just fight.”
Good Work Jesse!
I loved the Dana/BJ exchange…Shamrock must be singing soprano after that one. Despite Shamrock being aloof about seemingly everything except Tito, Dana comes off about as dumb insulting his UFC HOFer like that. Bad business.
One-sided victorys, (Weems never belonged and the only thing more “out there” than Marlon’s B.S. stories is his glass jaw. If he had been in 1/10 of the street fights he has claimed, he would either be dead or Queen of the Hood maybe.
For the winners, easy, quick fights, but I think Wiman and Gray are the real deal.
Still I like Lauzon to take it all…not even sure why he is on TUF and not fighting in the UFC after KOing Pulver. He should have gotten a 3 fight extension that night.
Well I loved the 0%yes and 0%no, that was the funnest shit I have ever seen. Lets see if they do it next week? As for Andy, I think that guy should be booted, and that Pulver should have been pissed at the disrespect.
As for the fights, I could not help but hope Weems could win, but only because I thought it would make for good tv. I was so happy Marlon was choked out. I still stick to who I feel should be in the Final, Lauzon vs Daiz. I want Diaz to win, but I think Lauzon will take it.
As of this week I am no longer looking forward to the cage fights, but I cannot wait to see the “voted off” fight.
Later

[quote post=”2148″]Still I like Lauzon to take it all…not even sure why he is on TUF and not fighting in the UFC after KOing Pulver. He should have gotten a 3 fight extension that night[/quote]I totaly agree how do you knock out the former lightweight champ and you have to go on the show to get a contract? I think he was probably put on just to add some drama. I too think Lauzon is gonna win it all but Nate Diaz Manny and Wiman are all gonna be tough. All and all I see these last 8 fighters being the most talented group since the first season of TUF.
Anyone else notice no one voted for the text vote thing?
For some reason, I think J-Lau is gonna lose next fight. I picked him to win it all over Diaz in the final, but I got a bad feeling…
Amp’d Mobile Poll
Will J-Lau lose his next fight?
Yes 0% No 0%
Both fights were like watching a bully beat up a nerd in the cafeteria before the principal steps in to stop it. Glad the prelims are over. The Andy thing was very weird. Dude needs psychiatric help (hope he isn’t going to shoot up a school or anything). I thought BJ was kicking him off unfairly just hoping to motivate his team which- was unnecessary as far as the last two fights were concerned. I felt sorry for Andy. Then Pulver bends over backwards to welcome the guy and Wang wipes his shoes on the welcome mat. I’m surprised DW didn’t just tell him to GTFO. He was probably just seconds away from it. Reminds me of that season where DW offered a guy another shot and he turned them down. DW looking at the camera dumbfounded, crickets chirp.

I completely agree. He’s probably glad to get the face time even though this really is probably a step down for him. There are a bunch of TUF vets who probably will never wear the belt but they are household names for UFC fans.
Does Lauzon have a nickname yet?

I share the same thoughts to a “T”. I’m expecting Lauzon vs Diaz to be a very exciting fight, probably a back & forth war. The difference maker being Lauzon’s heavier hands.
As far as the reason for Lauzon being on TUF, I think its a simple case of “face time”. I see it only being to get the general public familiar with who he is.
Marlon collapses faster than Larsen B
Jesse Holland’s posts: come for the recap, stay for the ecological humor!
My highlight was Dana telling Wang that he could be at home “doing push-ups, doing cartwheels, j___ing off or whatever”

Yeah I would have to say Screech by RNC
i don’t like how everyone has played down what a warrior Marlon was… i mean the guy didn’t even tap he just passed out. either that, or he didn’t know how to tap because he was always on the winning side of all of those street fights.
when Matt tagged Marlon’s big old jutting chin i couldn’t have been happier, if Marlon would have won i don’t know if i could have survived his BS for another couple of weeks.
[quote comment=”58588″]My highlight was Dana telling Wang that he could be at home “doing push-ups, doing cartwheels, j___ing off or whatever”[/quote]
That’s how i train!!! minus the push-ups and cartwheels.
where are the quality fights???? watching Weems fight reminded me of my highschool days. and watching Wang cry about Penn breaking his heart makes me want to smash my t.v. over my own head. Where are the men on this show? this is ultimate fighter right? not The Batchelor right??? another disapointing episode. C
man i am looking foward to next week, because of the fight at the house, in th previews it looks like marlon is kicking the crap out of somebody ut cant make out who.
” PS Weems and Marlon are on the same team “..The best part of the show was when Wang drops his head after Jens ( who by the way is mad cool ) accepts Wang along with the rest of team pulver..the look on Dana’s face was the same look on my face..I know Dana just wanted to kick him in the head..like you ungrateful little F%&**#..!! Did we not forget that not to long ago when you lost you were sent home..the UFC is nice enuff to say.. ” hey you lost but stay and train, learn and be here in Vegas for the duration of the season…Damm people should be more thankful for their blessings.
This is the best season ever… for a reality show, not fighting. BJ is a bitch just like everyone figured… trying to pin it on wang because his lazy ass leads like a train cabose. This is like Ortiz - Shamrock all over again… everyone wanted to be on BJ (shamrock)’s team, but yet Jens is CLEARLY a better coach, and has shown it.
Gray and Wieman have potential to win aswell, I think its a toss up between them, Lauzon, Diaz and Gamburyan (sp?)
All the theatrics of this show are really taking away from the UFC, and its image of warriors.
And if Andy Wang pulls out one more asian proverb (the toolbag called himself a ronin…) I think Im gonna send my 4 year old niece to whoop his ass.
[quote comment=”58417″]Well, I wrote a long post for me and it seems to have vanished. Great.[/quote]
What once was lost, now is found ;).
Whatever BJ’s motivation, I can understand kicking him off the team. Wang is a guy you can train all day but when he steps in the ring all he’s going to do is brawl. Plain and simple. No matter what you tell him, he won’t listen.
Wang should have gotten kicked off after his piss poor fight. How about that rule for the next season? Don’t listen or perform well, it’s up to the coaches if you stay or not.
Weems — master of the Tornado Drill Defense (Anyone from Texas or the Midwest will find that funny.)
Marlon — By the time he gets home he will have KOd Wiman with a super-mega-punch that literally turned Wiman’s head 540 degrees, but this was only after fighting off a gang assault by knife-wielding inner city midgets in a speeding Oldsmobile.
Wang — His future is as a ladyboy prostitute in Bangkok, orally pleasuring businessmen who are too drunk to realize or care that he actually has male genitalia.

It’s called the preliminary bouts. All the fights from here on out should be better.
Wang is a Rod..
New rule for next season, you have to ‘qualify’ for Tuff 6 via a 1 round try out fight, at the correct weight.
You can get a waiver if you have previous UFC experience.
[quote comment=”58423″]Still I like Lauzon to take it all…not even sure why he is on TUF and not fighting in the UFC after KOing Pulver. He should have gotten a 3 fight extension that night.[/quote]
He said he would make more in the long run being on the show. Sponsorship money will flow in now. He handles himself really well. Comes off like a class act. If he fights like he usually does, win or lose, he will be much better off.
I think the show is gonna come down to Manny G. and Nate Diaz but would prefer Nate and Joe.
Wang is a complete Moron, it was as if they were arguing with him to keep him on the show, the man is dumb, can anyone really blame Penn for not wanting him on his team? The fight between Matt and the ultimate street fighter was hilarious and made my night, what a loser that guy is, I hate people like that and the only thing worse than an egomaniac is a egomaniac liar. Weems did better than I thought he would but is still a tool the way he behaved after the fight, god so many baby’s on this show. Street fighter is a totally dumb ass, I actually knew a guy kind of like him(not as many stories though but still pretty bad)and everyone around him called him a liar behind his bad too. I hope street fighter gets his ass kicked by a twelve year old girl and it makes it to you tube.
“Back at the house Marlon adds to his legendary reputation by claiming to have been rundown by a speeding Oldsmobile and knocked unconscious for more than two hours. I’m not sure if that was before he discovered the Ark of the Covenant but it was definitely after he stormed the beach at Normandy.”

“On the other hand Matt is spending his time before the fight arguing with himself over which nickname best suits his devastating good looks. Apparently, Marlon isn’t the only one with delusions of grandeur.”
The only thing you wrote I don’t agree with, I thought Matt was joking, but over all great recap.
Wang doesnt know how to think. he doesnt listen to coaches, he doesnt listen to his own ability. No wonder no one voted for the text message poll, hes not worth the time! ridiculous.. i would love to go train wit those guys even if i got my ass kicked in. and pulvers team is willing to give him a 2nd shot and he still is unhappy about it. Bj was right he doesnt deserve to be there. Anyways..Wiman i was impressed wit, he took a nice shot to the face and it didnt even phase him, i like this dude a lot, he seems focused on fighting. Obviously Weems wasnt goin to win but he has balls to step in the octagon and take punishment like that, still pretty bad though but i like his attitude.. by the way did anyone see the preview for next weeks episode wit the fight in the back yard>? that looks intense.. the show is only goin to get better now wit all the scrubs gone.

This has to be the most ignorant statement ever posted in the history of blogging.. I can’t believe nobody else caught it. 32 people are brutally murdered for no reason almost a month ago. Families were destroyed and lives that were just beginning were taken tragically, and you can find a comparison with a reality television show contestant? Is it the fact that Andy Wang is an asian-american that you find similarites? I truly worry about the mental-midget that comes to such conclusions. Even worse, it was a pathetic attempt at humor. What are you going to do for an encore? Show up at the special olympics and make ‘retard’ jokes to the family members of handicapped kids? Make slavery jokes at the million man march? I don’t know what you are doing here, but the rest of us are here to talk about a sport we love–MMA.
Every blog has classless idiots that are completely ignored and passed over in the real world, and blogs are their medium for forcing people to listen poorly articulated, hair-brained, simple thoughts, but at least keep it about MMA. Maybe you made an error in judgement–sometimes say things and they have no idea how it sounds. It happens. If so, I apologize for the rant. If not, I’m sure most of the other MMA fans that post here would agree that you make Andy Wang look like the love child of Randy Couture and Chuck Norris.
I’m actually happy that BJ Penn kicked Wang off the team. The last thing that you need as a leader is someone who doesn’t listen to you. It eats away at your authority over the overall team and it can lead to problems with people and control.
I need to point something out though maybe you guys will agree and maybe not
Dana White is the most unprofessional SOB ever. THe way he talks and carries himself is so absurd and completely lacks class. Everything from the cussing to the talking down to people like they are less than men he comes across as a cheap rip off of the “On Air” personality of Vince McMahon only Vince knows how to be professional when not on WWE TV and Dana is just a jackass in any setting.
I agree..now all the fights are going to be TUF..even the backyard brawl looks TUF..this is why I love this show..we can weed out the pretenders from the contenders.
My pick to win it is JOE LAUZON..he’s the business.

Hell yeah I told my buddy after the second show that the final will be Joe Lauzon vs Nate Diaz most likely.
Jesse, next time you need to come up with more pathetic pictures of Weems and Sims please….
You can tell that around the house, no one wants to be around sims because of his outlandish stories…
What was up with the Keg, and the peace bowl out back? These guys pro fighters or at a frat house?
Man, last season to this season is night and mugga fuggin day!
Does any one know why they didn’t show the highlights of matt vs Fisher before the fight. Did anyone notice the bad blood between those two when they fought. Ever wonder if that is why Matt is on BJ’s team instead of Jen’s team.

Sometimes DW skirts the edge- like bashing Ken Shamrock’s coaching ability last night. But if Shamrock were still in the UFC, I’m pretty sure he (Dana) wouldn’t have said anything. Shamrock is trying to make the IFL into a success so you can see why the bash would be let loose. DW has a certain public persona to maintain of being tough, gritty, gravel-guts, hardnosed… all the cliches. Whether he is actually like that or not when the cameras are off is another question.

I don’t know how Weems got on the show. He certainly has the heart and desire. Maybe he did show a lot of progress during tryouts and training and they think they can groom him… but he has a long way to go. He just got wiped out last night. Maybe he should consider an office job instead.

Yeah I guess I did over-react a little.
[quote comment=”58399″]I think you made an error in your recap. You said you were surprised Weems didnt choose Marlon. He couldnt. Marlon was on his team. He had to choose between Wiman and Maynard.
[/quote]
You’re right, I meant Wiman. Thanks for the heads up!
Both fights were weak as hell. Wiman looked impressive, but has the most retarded nickname. “Handsome” are you freakin serious. And than he tries to justify his stupid nickmname by saying he will now be known as “mildly attractive” for the show. What the F***? did Dana get these premadonnas
FYI, Wiman has already proven his mettle inside the UFC cage prior to TUF. He’s nobodies walk-through. If you can find the Matt Wiman vs Spencer Fisher fight somewhere on the web you’ll understand what I mean. Dont sleep…
“The fight between Matt and the ultimate street fighter was hilarious and made my night”
I couldn’t have agreed with you more. LOL!!
As for Andy, he is by far the most bull-headed person I have ever seen. Why Dana didn’t kick him off the show is beyond me.
BTW, I initially thought Noah was the one B.J. was gonna kick off the team but I guess he really did learn his lesson from Asst. Coach Tony D.
My Final 4 picks:
Joe Lauzon vs. Nate Diaz
Matt Wiman vs. Manny Gamburyan
Final Fight:
Joe Lauzon vs. Manny Gamburyan
Prediction:
Joe, you’re a very charismatic and intelligent dude who is going to have one hell of a UFC career. But I’m afraid I’m gonna have to take Karo Parisiyan’s cousin on this one.

He did look like an animal in his first fight, but will it hold over?
I think Manny is not technical enough to win the whole thing.. but what strength on that boy. I have no clue who is goin to win but its goin to be some great fights coming up.
Has everyone here seen the video I keep putting up of J-Lau at 16 submitting BJJ black belts over and over? If more than 3 of you say no, I’ll put it up again. Maybe Mania could just do a thread about it.

There are hundreds of guys who tried out for these fights and it’s wrong to ask for two good fighters facing off in the preliminaries? last four fights sucked!!! And please stop quoting everyone’s comments mama’s boy (5 times he did that!!) I have a right to an opinion
Predictions For Next Rounds:
Joe Lauzon vs Manny Gamburyan - Winner Joe Lauzon
Nate Diaz vs Matt Wiman - This is a tough one Im goin wit Diaz
Gray Maynard vs Corey Hill - Winner Gray Maynard
Cole Miller vs Brandon Melendez - Winner Brandon Melendez
All predictions i really have no clue but these are sweet match ups
[quote comment=”58446″]For some reason, I think J-Lau is gonna lose next fight. I picked him to win it all over Diaz in the final, but I got a bad feeling…[/quote]
i hope that statement isn’t related to the one you made last week about knowing who the semi finalists were…

No, not yet. I’ll wait til we get there. I still cant remember who the hell posted the semis on their myspace page and said the UFC wouldnt care because they love him. Who the F was that? Someone help me out.
No, spida. I just have a feeling that J-Lau’s future in the UFC is set. Dana really loves that kid. Why waste a contract on him when he already will have one. I smell an injury to J-Lau coming on.
[quote comment=”58819″]Has everyone here seen the video I keep putting up of J-Lau at 16 submitting BJJ black belts over and over? If more than 3 of you say no, I’ll put it up again. Maybe Mania could just do a thread about it.[/quote]
those were huge dudes he was whoopin on too
They keep foreshadowing an injury. They did it again last night with Wang Chun. Someone’s going down.
so if joe got hurt who do you think they would bring back? they can’t bring back emerson again and i hope it wouldn’t be wang, just doesn’t seem like anyone is worthy except emerson…my semi finlas are manny vs. gray and joe vs. diaz, with gray vs. diaz in the final…its gonna be interesting next week to see who they choose to fight who…

yeah that makes sense, i agree with that

If I’m right, then it’ll be one of the guys who havent lost as of yet. Maybe like when Hoost won the Grand Prix after losing to Sapp in the semis.
ahhhh, that makes sense too so long as joe doesn’t get hurt next week…
mtu…i want to say it was Wayne weems…i havent been watching the show, but i think the name sounds about right…whoever it was they said they lost but they werent afraid of getting in trouble with there comments, because “the ufc loves them”
[quote comment=”58617″]This is the best season ever… for a reality show, not fighting. BJ is a bitch just like everyone figured… trying to pin it on wang because his lazy ass leads like a train cabose. This is like Ortiz - Shamrock all over again… everyone wanted to be on BJ (shamrock)’s team, but yet Jens is CLEARLY a better coach, and has shown it.
Gray and Wieman have potential to win aswell, I think its a toss up between them, Lauzon, Diaz and Gamburyan (sp?)
All the theatrics of this show are really taking away from the UFC, and its image of warriors.
And if Andy Wang pulls out one more asian proverb (the toolbag called himself a ronin…) I think Im gonna send my 4 year old niece to whoop his ass.[/quote]
Hey since “Wang” doesn’t shoot, if your 4 year old niece keeps this a stand up fight, odds are pretty good she’ll win.
I gotta get to the OTB!!

I think youre right.

As for Andy, he is by far the most bull-headed person I have ever seen. Why Dana didn’t kick him off the show is beyond me.
BTW, I initially thought Noah was the one B.J. was gonna kick off the team but I guess he really did learn his lesson from Asst. Coach Tony D.
..I thought the same thing, I thought it was Noah getting the boot. Da “Wangster” should of been gone after he soaked the octagon with his tears then that (I’m still a warrior speech)yeah sure!..however it looks like Noah should of left cause in that backyard fight he is on the wrong end of Marlon’s foot..from what it looks like in the clip.

That’s so frigging funny. The tool says he’s a Ronin. Yeah, jackass, youre not samurai because you didnt listen to your master, “Shoot, shoot, shoot!!!”. Now go commit Hare-Kiri and fulfill all the Japanese stereotypes. This guy made me sick last nite.
( Just joking about the seppuku comment. He’s a friggin’ idiot, but still young enough to learn I hope. War Wang! Lol. )

Please, let’s pretend that he never did have a myspace page and therefore never posted the semis on it and focus strictly on what results on the show. GOD I HATE SPOILERS!!!!!!
my predictions are tight
See Andy wiffle waffle? See Andy be an ass? Don’t be a wang boy.
I hope this post does not get modded. I have been dying to say this:
Andy puts the wang in “wang boy”
he puts the little in litte wang. you so true forrest
