Episode 11 comes crashing out of the gate with a new coaches challenge at The Palms Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. Dana brings the gang over and hints at gambling but lo and behold he walks them to a suite that is big enough to house a basketball half-court.
And here I thought a mini-bar was a bangin’ upgrade.
Rampage shakes his head in disgust and admits to having a jumpshot like Billy Barty. He then feels even worse after Dana starts dropping the numbers: Winner gets ten grand and the contestants he coaches get a grand apiece.
Dana offers Rampage a chance to double the purse by landing a 3-pointer and to Dana’s dismay he drains it. Perhaps a little bit of hustling on Jackson’s part?
Then we see him warm up and realize no, he just got lucky.
So not only does an incredibly accurate Forrest take him to the boards, he ends it with a dunk.
Ouch.
Afterwards we find Jesse Taylor in the chrysalis stage as he begins his transformation into alter-ego “JT Money”. He even has a dollar sign (well, half of it anyway) shaved into the back of his head and references a flock of seagulls.
I wasn’t sure to think of the Score brothers or my car after a few hours in the mall parking lot.
The guys at the house are hardly impressed and even go so far as to compare the dollar sign to a saggy nutsack or a bathroom faucet. And Kohler thought it had a bold look.
Out of nowhere the shot glasses make their return and Jesse Taylor starts pounding shots until he turns into Roberto Benigni at the ‘98 Oscars.
Credeur offers to sober him up and decides a trip to the hot tub would be just what the doctor ordered. Apparently he missed episode nine when Taylor painted the town yellow.
Jesse decides that he doesn’t need a hot tub to showcase his diuresis and just lets it all go right on the carpet. Hopefully somewhere in the cabinets next to all that booze is a bottle of Resolve.
The next morning its back to business and Jesse and Credeur train hard for their upcoming fight. Credeur decides to let Jesse pound on him until he gets tired and then it’s jiu-jitsu time. Good strategy. Sounds airtight to me.
After the weigh-ins we get the dreariest piano solo since “The Lonely Man” as Jesse Taylor whips out a picture of his three-year old son and waxes nostalgic. It could be the first instance I’m aware of where the child becomes potty trained before the parent.
Semifinal match #1: Jesse Taylor (6-2) vs Tim Credeur (10-2)
Round 1: A few jabs and Jesse goes right to the shoot. He drops Credeur with ease and smothers him. Taylor lands a few hammer fists. Credeur is getting mauled and looks totally overpowered. He eats a few elbows. Taylor gets sloppy and Credeur locks up an arm. After a brief struggle Taylor escapes and get back into Credeur’s guard. Taylor lands a few big shots. The corner is shouting instructions to Credeur but he is either unable or unwilling to follow them. More damage from Taylor. Credeur again goes for the arm and then tries to sneak in a triangle but gets nothing. The round ends the same way it started: Creduer in guard eating punches.
Round 2: A missed head kick by Credeur opens up a flurry from Taylor and (surprise) a takedown. I considered cutting and pasting the text from round one until out of nowhere Credeur finds a way to sweep and put himself on top. Unfortunately he’s not able to do much with it and gets returned to his original position - with ease. The corner lets out a groan of disapproval. Back to the dominace as Credeur rolls to one side and ends up taking more damage. Credeur gives up his back and now rolls to the other side. Taylor seems oblivious and just keeps punching and smothering until the round expires.
Round 3: Taylor opens with an obligatory punch (almost like that mandatory bunt you have to take in batting practice) before shooting and wrestling Credeur to the ground. Taylor muscles him to and fro and Credeur makes it interesting for a minute with an escape but is quickly dragged back to the floor. The corner yells out “Tim, this is your life“. Unfortunately its also his cardio as an exhausted Credeur can only be punished on the ground at this stage. Another failed armbar attempt by Credeur. Taylor looks winded but is strong enough to keep it his fight. The bout ends with Credeur getting beat-up.
Jesse Taylor defeats Tim Credeur via unanimous decision.
After the fight Jesse vomits into a bucket and rues his choice of eggs for breakfast. Now that I’ve seen Taylor both urinate and vomit, I shudder at what he may have in store for the final episode - knowing that his remaining options are very limited.
Stay tuned next week as Amir Sadollah and CB Dolloway clash to see who will face Jesse Taylor in the live finale on June 21 - but wait - someone ends up getting kicked out of the finale and the UFC after some instant replay!
Who will it be? How does it go down?
Find out next week!

Jesse will take this and it will be him and Dollaway for the finals.
That’s what I was hoping for in the semifinals, but now it’s never going to happen. One of them is going to get kicked out of the UFC and the finale for what they did while they were racing go-karts.
Tim will submit him in round one. Jessie has no bjj skills. He is the typical double leg take down ground n pound. That is no longer enough.
didn’t he submit his first two fighters?
My take 5 minutes into the show?
Rampage has never seen a basketball in his life.
Jesse Taylor might actually not have enough brain power (or dancing ability) to walk and chew gum at the same time.
Credeur surprisingly has not mentioned how hot any of the guys in the house are as of yet.
C.B. must lose!!! Why, you ask? B/c he wears sunglasses at night. Just as big a douchebag move as referring to oneself in the third person.
That’s all I’ve got for now.
Excellent mini summary
good synopsis chef, this was by far the best episode yet. A little interaction with the fighters and coaches. This is still by far the weakest season yet! The “cliff hanger” isn’t even going to be that great. My guess is CB loses and Rampage kicks out the limo windows out of frustration. anyways, tuf is getting old and the quality of fighters is going downhill. I realize these are “new” guys, but there are plenty of guys in smaller shows looking for a chance that have good overall skills, in my opinion it wouldn’t be hard to find 16 good fighters. Whoever is doing the scouting needs to do a better job
OK, Credeur is just a little creepy. In the last 10 minutes since my first post he has: told Jesse that his shirt was tight and would he wear it when he beat him up. And right before commercial, I’m pretty sure I thought I heard him say “let’s fight naked for America.” Manwhore.
chefdaddy LOL let me tell you something BITCH, Tim said “let’s stop fighting naked in front of America” and if you are alluding to something like Tim being gay I GUARANTEE we can prove you wrong. His wife is hotter than any woman you have ever touched. Send me your info. and we can discuss this anywhere anytime GUARANTEED. I will travel.
Yeah man, his wife was hot!
I haven’t read further down the thread yet, but I want to speculate on what that whole limo situation could be about.
I expect CB to win against Amir, especially since CB losing can’t be the shocker now, since we saw that clip of what looked to be a limo window get punched/kicked out from the inside. My prediction is that CB wins, finals are CB vs Jesse. Then at some point after the filming of the season, the UFC must have flown in both fighters or something and had a limo pick them up to take them to the UFC headquarters.
I have been reading CB’s weekly blog, and he really doesn’t seem like someone that would do something stupid like that and risk his UFC career. The night they destroyed the house, CB was in his black tighty-whities because he was sleeping when it all went down and was awaken by the madness. CB is very articlate in his writeups and seems to have a very good head on his shoulders. However, Jesse The Brute Taylor seems like a meat head that gets very wild when drunk. Getting wasted and running around the house like a monkey the night before the biggest fight of your career, WTF?
So I predict that Jesse will be the moron to do something stupid and get kicked out the UFC. ANd since Tim Credeur just lost to Jesse in the semifinals, they’ll have Tim fill in for Jesse. However, as a SUPER long shot, if the Amir/CB fight is so good that they have a rematch. But that wouldn’t be fair to the person that won the first fight, but then lost at the finale for the contract - so I highly, highly, highly doubt it.
cmon Mike, it’s TV..and we’re talking about it. I say CB loses, and rampage kicks out the window. I hope cb loses. And sa quentin, are you a little too mad at the ribbing of tim? Or are you typing while “under” his desk!!!
Hey you little B#TCH, Tim said ” let’s NOT fight naked in front of America”. If you are trying to accuse Tim of being gay that is your dreams manifesting themselves. Tim’s wife is hotter than any girl you have ever touched. If you want to talk shit send me your info. I will travel. chefdaddy is a crackwhore f#agget B#tch MFer.
Wow, SanQuentin, you took this kinda personal. Hit a little close to home?
U know those ex-cons sure get riled up easily. Oh’ n’ I think I heard Tim say Jesse was a big ‘ol sexy meatpie!
hahaha what the hell is this. I think you might’ve upsets Tim’s only fan… Or his wife?
Mania, please post my response to this, I thought I spelled all my curse words correctly. lol
Hey chefdaddy did SanQuentin just say he wants to travel to where you live so he can give you a rub down?
You really have all the luck.
Quit hatin on Tim. I’m from his area and am a fan of his. He’s a decent guy that has been nothing but good to everyone on the show.
It’s funny how you guys say all of this stuff to SanQ, but know good and well you’d never meet up.
So just hold your tongue about a professional who is in there putting everything on the line while you will never see the UFC octagon.
That is all…
Jim, I actually don’t hate Creduer at all. One of my posts has been in moderation for almost 6 hours now. So here goes. If anything, I gained some respect for Tim last night. I liked seeing how 2 guys don’t have to hate each other to fight. I think he seriously manned up when Jesse got trashed (which showed a huge amount of dissrespect to Tim, by the way) and Credeur took care of him. I respect how he fought a larger, stronger opponent. He took a beating, but never gave up. That being said, when you do/say things in public (as we all have) that are just weird, prepare to be called on it (as we all have). Whether it’s in seriousness or in jest. But, if you have watched this season at all, how many comments about guys being hot can Tim make before d*cks like me say enough and call him on it. And as for SanQ, tell him to get his frequent flyer miles ready as after me he needs to fly around the world to beat up 90% of the people on this site who’ve said the same thing. Better yet, have him fight Dana, Rampage and Forrest first cuz they laughed their @sses off when Tim wanted to fight that guy that (as he put it)”is hotter than me.” Oh, and of course I won’t ever see the inside of an octagon. Duh! That’s not my profession. And my profession may not involve getting/giving @sswhoopings on a daily basis, but if I screw up, I hear about it and it hurts my business. We’re all out there to be judged/made fun of whether it’s fair or not, nice or not, and whether we like it or not. Get over it bro.
Most of us r screwing around in fun, it’s boys locker room BS, Credeur seemed like a fairly cool guy IMO. San Quentin’s comment was ridiculous and Jim’s was ultra defensive. Obviously fans that have never been on this site and unfamiliar with the tone, so therefore, extremely sensitive.
Nah, I understand the clowning around, but he’s a local boy and I have a lot of respect for the guy.
And I think talking crap to someone who calls you out is just as bad as the guy who is calling you out, that’s just me.
I’m not talking about flying to your doorstep and and going bloodsport on anyone or anything lol. I’m just saying that Tim is a good guy, just protecting his character.
No problem Jim. That’s what this site is for. I may have gone too far with the clowning around, but ‘ol SQ went mental. lol
yeah maybe Sanquentin is the one who likes guys
Yea i’m thinkin SanQuentin wants Tim’s nuts. Shoulda named himself DeepThroat or somethin on his posts..
Crueder is definetly creepy!
ViolentMike: Thank God I was wrong! I thought the shocking news had top do with an upset, in that case it would obviously been Amir over CB. Luckily I was wrong (I think) and I guess it has nothing to do with an uppset. It has to be about the ending where they showed the L:imo pull up and somebody kick the window or something. So CB is still probably going to win! Thank GOd!
As for who is getting kicked off the show, I think its pretty obvious. The only possabilities are Amir, CB, and Jesse Taylor. Out of the 3 its obvious that it will be Jesse. KNowing his personality he has to be the won to get kiicked off. He is a lunatic! I dont think Amir or CB will do anything that could possibly get them kicked out of the UFC forever. Taylor is just a big dumb Brute, who cant control himself, so he has to be trhe leading candidate to get kicked out.
What do you guys think about this?
As for the Jesse/Crueder fight. Crueder is an idiot and a creep. Jesse is nothing special. He is just a big strong Brute who fights exactly like TIto OPrtiz. He sits in an opponents guard for the entire fight, throwing punches and elbows. I will be happy to see him get kicked out of the finals and hopefully replaced with Crueder.
As for Amir vs. CB. HOpefully Dollaway will win because he NEEDS to be the next Ultimate fighter. Amir is Nasty though. at the beginning of the season, I stated that he would be a sleeper. I knew nothing about him except for his mental outlook, and I thought he had the perfect mindframe to be successful..He has been a pleasure to watch compete!
My prediction fgor the finals is Taylor will get kicked off, Crueder will fill in:
CB Dollaway vs. Crueder in the Finals!
i WONDER IF AFTER WATCHING THIS SEASON OF tuf, cRUEDERS HOT WIFE FINALLY REALIZED THAT HE IS GAY? LOL
Dana said the fighter was out of the Finale not the finals. It doesn’t have to be either of those three. It could be anyone that was supposed to be booked on the live finale.
nice catch…
I still think its Jesse Taylor. No one else is dumb enough to blow an opportunity like this, except for maybe Jeremy May
I think SanQuentin might be Wildman posting under a new name. SQ, confirm this by tellling everyone how many UFC fighters you could beat.
Jesse reminds me of Ox from Saved by the Bell.
Also, he just had a “sweet” TV moment talking about his 3 year old son. A moment he might want to show his son when he gets older. But then again, he was just pissing himself on the same episode about 10 minutes ago.
I will tell you who Jesse reminds me of.
Who has seen the 1990’s movie: “Kiss of Death”, starring David Caruso, Nicholas Cage, Ving Rahmes?
Jesse Taylor looks and reminds me of Nicholas Cage in the “Kiss of Death”, he was a crazy, brute, enforcer
Anyone know what I am talking about?
Was he the character who needed the asthma inhaler?
the guy Cage played in that movie also didn’t like metal cutlery,he always used plastic.
Here’s a movie comparison for you john: Credeur as Will Farrell’s character in The Ladie’s Man. You know, has a hot wife, likes wrestling guys. How ya like that reference San Quentin?
ChefDaddy: “Greco Roman Wrestling” lol he does look like the will Farrell from the ladies man.
Yeah its the charecter with the inhaler
wow john, I was thinking the nick cage thing last night…great minds think alike
Kevin: It is pretty accurate, isnt it! lol
“Time to clean up your own Back yaaaaaard!”
I can only remember bit and pieces of that one, looks like a good rental to go with late night pizza soon.
Yeah its not a bad movie. I watched it recently because they have been showing it on HBO late night for a couple of weeks now. Not a bad choice for movie night! There are a lot of good actors in it.
Jesse is a meathead. WTF is he talking about in the house most t5he time?
Wasnt this billed as the most shocking episode ever … or am I wrong? Serious question seeking serious answer.
Nevermind. I see I’ve been duped. It’s next week.
Thank heavens Forrest can fight, cuz he’s not too much of a coach. You are constantly hearing Tim’s corner talk him through everything, while all Forrest was saying was big punches, big punches. I have to admit I was surprised that Credeur held up to a far bigger and stronger opponent, although I HATE Jesse’s style. I don’t see Jesse doing much when he gets to the big leagues. F*ck, Jesse could barely stand to have his hand raised. Nice puke job.
Sure, but from what I saw Jessie didn’t need a lot of instruction as he dominated nearly the entire fight. What did Forest need to say? He was constantly reminding Jessie of his body positioning and control, and about staying active (”big punches”). If you ask me, Tim’s corner needed to settle down - they were firing far too many instructions during this fight…
If Jessie learns how to strike I see him having a bright future in the UFC. He’s powerful, a dominant wrestler, and he seems to have great submission defense.
I guess I couldn’t disagree more with what you’ve written…
Never thought about it from your point of view WADZ. Hadn’t thought that too much instruction might confuse a fighter, I’m just used to a corner being more active than Forrest yelling “Do what you do Jesse.” But I think you made a decent point to ponder. However, I still can’t see Jesse making waves in the UFC. But, I’ve been wrong before. We’ll just have to wait and see.
Jesse reminds me of Tito, only not nearly as good. Step 1: Takedown. Step 2: Sit in opponent’s guard. Step 3: Throw some elbows and punches while making no attempt to pass. Step 4: Maintain top position for decision victory or possibly hope for a ref stoppage.
PW: I was thinking the same thing
Once Jesse fights a guy with great takedown defense and good standup… that will be his test.
Wow, what the hell happens next episode?? It looks like someone broke a window in the limo. What the hell. I’m confused.
yeah idk, i didn’t see anyone brake a window. but i’d think it’d be worst then that if the guy got throw right out of the ufc. did it say if it was one of the finalists or not?
And everybody was saying C.B. losing to Amir would be the big shock. I knew that wouldn’t be a big shock! An upset, yes, but the biggest shock in TUF history NO!!
Now someone making it to the finals and then getting kicked not only out of the finals, but out of the UFC for doing something stupid, is the biggest shock in TUF history because noone who has made it that far has been so STUPID.
What was that ending all about? Who would be drunk and stupid enough to get thrown out??
JESSE TAYLOR
then why was forrest smiling in the preview, and why was dana showing it to rampage
Maybe Jesse broke the car window of Rampage’s car or something but one things for sure Jesse taylor fits the bill
Jesse Taylor sneaks out of the house or he gets in a fight in the parking lot? Can’t imagine who else it would be… Maybe Dana decided to be a nice guy n’ they all went out to dinner n’ one of them (maybe Jesse) gets out of hand?
just my guess.
I’m going to guess that it might be the idiot who pissed themself the night before their fight. Nice self-discipline.
Now you probably just pissed off JT Money’s best friend, so you’ll have him coming over to pay you a visit as well. Maybe you can introduce him to SanQ.
I’m gonna have my hands full with cross country travelin’, wantin’ to whip my @ss, psychopath douchebags soon. Can you imagine being nuts/stupid enough to fly and fight cuz someone you don’t know said something on the internet? Tell him to meet at the playground after school and not to forget their lunch money. lol
I’m calling Jesse.
CB beats Amir,
Jesse gets dq’d
Amir fights Tim for the vacant finals spot.
Exactly as I see. I typed my prediction as to what will happen up above before reading through the entire thread. I thought that the UFC might have flown the finalsists out to the UFC headquarters in Vegas to shoot some promotional stuff. But why would he punck/kick out a window then???
I like that idea above about going out to eat or something.
Another reason to say that its definitely not CB is the fact that Rampage and ESPECIALLY Dana have been speaking soooo highly of him all season long.
Not so much the same for Jesse…
because jesse is basically a drunk
What was that snip at the end? Someone out of the finale? Looks like someone kicked out a window on a limo. with all the destruction those morons do to the house, there has to be more to it than that.
My dirty mind has been wondering if someone was beating on a hooker in the limo when the window got kicked out… That would do it, I imagine…
taylor did say he was gunna get drunk!
He sure did - but in a limo?? How does that happen?
Looks like Tim will be in the finals anyway. Jesse is the only one left stupid enough to break out a limo window and get thrown off the show.
I guess good things do happen to good people… But what does this say about Jesse?
who gets kick out?
Dana said “he’s outta the finals and he’s outta the UFC.” Has to be either Jesse, Amir, or CB. Gotta be Jesse.
looks like affliction’s gonna have another star!
Star? More like a boring lay n prayer for the most part. Tim’s standup is decent at best. And even that is a stretch. If Jesse is scared to stand with Tim, then who would he stand with?
dana said he’s out of the “finale” not the finals.
From what we seen they(the TUF and SPIEK crew) has made us to believe that Taylor is a drunken maniac with no respect all to himself or other’s property. But it couldnt be that simple???? Could it?? Dana says he is out of the UFC and Finale. Of course the only one we knwo so far in the finale is Taylor????
I knew when they said that(at UFC 85) TUF would have the most shocking moment in history. I knew they did it to pump up ratings and knew we would have to wait to the last episode. I hope it is more than A drunken Taylor going crazy.
Maybe Cale came back and threw a rock threw CB’s limo and CB then killed him, therefore is off the finale!!!
LOL, CB and Cale squashed their beef after their fight.
It would too easy for it to be the obvious??!!

i don’t think it was jesse
it has to be Jesse, he’s the only one in the finales right now unless that takes place after the CB v Amir fight. And neither CB or Amir are stupid enough to do that and get thrown out. Jesse probably is allowed out for a night of celebration for making the finale and figures kicking the window out on a rented limo is the same as trashing a company owned house… meathead.
Jesus. Pay attention. OUT OF THE FINALE. Not out of the Finals. There are several fights already confirmed for the Finale involving both TUF and non-TUF fighters.
they said out of finale and THE UFC, you pay effin attention
1st, what Remmy said…
2nd, I don’t think the company owns the house, I think they lease it with an agreement that they will repair the damage… I think that is what goes on for most reality shows that take place in a house…
if it was jesse, why was forrest smiling, and why was he showing it to rampage? Not forrest?
Guarantee if it was CB that got in trouble they would not care because he is the only guy I can see a year from now being in the UFC.
Jesse Taylor has a boring style and is bad for a MMA business in the sense that people do not want to see lay and pray, ever.
I have a feeling Dana White will have overreacted and if all he did was kick out a limosuine window, that is a pretty low reason to get kicked off the show, when they are constantly supplying their “young athletes” with alcohol to promote their lack of plot and create situations that are abnormal for ratings.
The UFC is an accomplise (sp?) in this matter and for them to supply someone with alcohol, and them to act irrationally and the UFC to turn around and fire them, is petty and unprofessional.
STOP GIVING YOUR FIGHTERS ALCOHOL ON YOUR SHOWS.
All that alcohol, but they can’t let these guys watch t.v. lol. Living in that house must absolutely SUCK.
adults should be able to have access to alcohol and still be responsible…
to blame the ufc for the moronic behaviour of a few drunken TUF competitors is absolutely ridiculous. if i get really fat becuase there is a cupboard full of food in my house, should I blame my wife?
any TUF “contestant” who gets in shit for drunken stupidity is an idiot. they had an opportunity…and wasted it.
that, my friend is “unprofessional”
you saved me a lot of typing, thank you.
Don’t get me wrong, I agree with you. A man’s decisions/excuses are his own. However, I was just noting the irony. Hell, a t.v. would be better for drama. Can you imagine the fights over the remote?
It would be a real shame for Jesse to get kicked out of the finals especially if CB makes it cuz that would be a real good fight in my opinion
CB would own Jesse. CB has better standup and better submissions. And no one can say that Jesse has better wrestling because while CB was attending Arizona State University, he wrestling Jesse Taylor twice. CB came out with two victories!
Just watched it, and then re-watched the end. Dana doesn’t say he’s out of the “finals” but out of the “finale.” Only a small difference, but it means it’s not necessarily Amir, CB or Jesse.
I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re trying to get everyone to think it’s one of those three and then it happens to be someone of little consequence who’s not on the finale card yet.
Good observation; you’re probably going to be right.
