I have to totally disagree. They aren't "singling out" the women. The women this season simply aren't as strong competitors as in previous seasons. It happens. Luck of the draw or whatever you want to call it, the women just aren't up to par this time around which I think is a shame since they have done well previously.
In regard to Jake, I think he is going to either get his troops in line or completely ostracize himself. At first he annoyed me, but watching him go through the last challenge this week gave me a lot of respect for the guy. He gave it 110% unlike anyone else I saw. He still came up short but having his team put him so far behind, he did an amazing job of catching up and if nothing else, I can respect someone who puts their money where their mouth is.
At least the drama in Top Shot isn't being as poorly manufactured as it now is on Hell's Kitchen. That show has become almost unwatchable. Hope it doesn't happen here.

What really urks me is them singling out the women right off the bat. Sure, Amanda had it coming with her self proclaimed "badass", and had nothing to show for it. The other woman(can't remember he name), she was actually doing good during the challanges, than that Jake dude comes out and may as well of said: "She's a woman and shouldn't be here in a mans competition". It was stupid, and I thought that he should of been sent to elimination instead of her. Dude is doing nothing but bossing people around(as shown in this weeks episode), kinda like that golf instructor from last season. Yes, I do notice that she didn't do as well at all on the elimination challange. I like watching the show, but I hate some of this drama. I don't have any favorites thus far, but I definately have my diliked people.
