Is anyone else watching this show on the History Channel with host Colby Probst, er, Donaldson? It's cracking me up watching Colby imitate Jeff!

you know i would never miss a colby opportunity, and didn't. we did laugh about the "probst" imitation. But we also enjoyed that the show wasn't really about Colby, he just really was a announcer voice to the whole show.

Yup, konashark & I were noting the similarities of Colby's use of Jeff-like words and inflections, but he looks up to Probst as a role-model for being a reality show emcee.
The shooting is interesting but we were fascinated with the house. Well, I was. konashark is a gun fanatic so he's in it for the weapons.

Is that the same place used in Joe Schmo, and maybe even as a house for departed Big Brother folks one year? Looks like we've seen it in other reality shows.

My hubby competes in these kinds of pistol/rifle comps. They are pretty fun. I've been thinking about competing also, but I just love taking pics of the competitors too much. (helps that I can get right up with them and get close enough for shots like the ring of fire coming out of the barrel...)

I see I wasn't the only one who noticed Colby's imitation of Jeff Probst! LOL. He probably doesn't even realize he's doing it. I'm sure for him, there is no other way to host a show or narrate the goings on during a challenge.

We're going shooting on Saturday. I have a rematch with the shotgun that got the best of me last month :-)
konashark has a nice collection of firearms - so I don't know what I'll handling (aside from regular practice with my 9m).

I really like the way they handle having someone sit out a challenge, with having the other team pick who sits out. I wish Survivor would do that - it would make for some interesting challenges!

Kona, what 9mm do you use? I absolutely love my Taurus PT709 Slim (great for concealed carry). Really like my Sig .22 Mosquito too. The S&W M&P 9 is pretty sweet, especially with a 2-pound trigger - like butter. :-)

Kona, do you do any trap shooting? My dh has just gotten interested in that aspect and is looking to pick me up a light shotgun for it, any suggestions? (He has nice collection as well but a lot of it is to heavy for me) DH also recently purchased a u22 Neos for me to use, I haven't tried it out yet. I have only gone a couple of times with him to the club, but I really enjoyed it and am going to pursue my own license. I'll be looking for this show, looks like something he'll watch with me.

I tried trap shortly after college with a friend who was on the US team for the Maccabean games in the 1980s. He said I had a good eye.
Currently only shooting at a stationary target but next time we go out we're bringing something that swings.
konashark is the one to ask about guns, email me privately through here and I'll get you in touch with him.

Any thoughts on last night's show?

Personally, I was glad to see Bill leave. While Kelly's comment was out of line (although I did think it was funny), he's only 22 years old. I know that there are men out there who, in Bill's situation, would have been saying the same thing Kelly did. I don't think Kelly meant any disrespect, and he did apologize. Bill's comment, though, about what kind of man Kelly was becoming, was way out of line, IMO. Kelly was trying to patch things up between them, which I thought showed more maturity than Bill's remark.

Red team is disjointed and too many egos.

I am loving this show.

Merrysea - I so agree with your post. Bill was way over the top about what Kelly said. That man can hold a grudge as good as Jill from HWONY.

Anyone else still watching?

I am so glad Kelly beat Brad last week - it was ridiculous that Kelly was even up for elimination after both Denny and Brad failed to hit a single target and Kelly made the most difficult shot in the team challenge! And then I was extra glad to see Denny go this week! He failed two weeks in a row in challenges that were his specialty - he should have gone out in one of those. I don't understand why they didn't choose to send him to the elimination round both those weeks, but I'm glad they finally got him this week!

I'm sorry Tara had to leave the competition - I wanted to see her go a long way. I hope they give us an update on her when this is over.

we are! although chuck hates the "big brother" aspect of voting people to elimination, he loves the competitions and the photography. i hope that it ends up being JJ and Kelly as the final 2. I think they totally underestimated kelly's competitive spirit.
