Cam leaping onto helicopter from ocean ..scene from reality show

Second episode is tonight

Summary for those that didn't watch:

Cam broke some dudes face in a boxing/fight challenge and that guy had to go home.  Felt it was an odd challenge to even have because their was clearly no one you could pit against Cam and it be remotely fair.   Sure he was a tall swimmer but from the jump I told my wife the math wasn't mathing and there was no one you could pair Cam up w/ and that it would feel remotely ok. 

Surprise of the show is Golden Tate IMO.  Who definitely doesn't seem wired the way we would dream up an uber successful pro athlete.  Same for the gymnast.

The gymnast (Jordyn Wieber) tapped out due to their being another underwater challenge. I'd said the one at the end of the first episode was basically like being asked to waterboard yourself in the surf. That one caused her to panic so much that the thought of another one was more than she could handle.

Trista Sutter (the original Bachelorette) left as well due to fatigue. Don't care much about bachelorettes but I was wondering whether she and Newton ever discussed the fact that she's married to a former (albeit temporary) Panther, safety Ryan Sutter.

Tate just seems kind of lost post-football. That happens to a lot of guys who have never really done anything else. He and Cam had some drama between them over a challenge where Tate just mentally shut down. They buried the hatchet later after Tate redeemed himself in a later challenge.

The boxing part was pretty brutal. Newton went a little nuts on his opponent and busted his nose. Former (disgraced) Olympic track and field star Marion Jones was matched up against Travis Kelce's pre-Taylor Swift girlfriend Kayla Nicole. I thought that was kind of a mismatch. Turned out it was...the other way. Nicole broke some of Jones' ribs and she had to withdraw.

As to Newton, he was pretty heavily featured in this episode. Cam is easily the best physical specimen in the group...as you might expect. As you also might expect, his boisterous personality rubbed The straight laced, super serious military guys wrong at first, but after some initial conflict he's toned it down and actually seems to be earning their respect now.

Honestly, for Newton fans, this show is probably a pretty good watch.

It's almost like reality shows are scripted!

Yes I got hooked because of Cam.  It’s funny how taken the Special Forces staff are with Cam’s size and athleticism, you can tell he could actually make it

I don’t know how good being 6’5, 240 lbs would be in special forces. I’d think average height with above average strength would be better. 
 

also, no one would be able to carry him out of a combat zone if he were wounded and that is a consideration that they have.

    • Whatever. I am so ready to not see any more mock drafts until there is a draft worth talking about in the 1st. Even the top 2 guys in this draft are underwhelming in comparison.
    • I'm having a hell of a time trying to make projections for Carolina due to the giant question mark that is Jacksonville. Looking over their roster, they're a prime candidate to trade back. Most of the top prospects are going to be at positions they've already made investments in and are getting returns on: RB (Jeanty) - Travis Etienne (2021 1st), Tank Bigsby (2023 3rd) OT (Membou) - Walker Little (2021 2nd), Anton Harrison (2023 1st) TE (Warren) - Brenton Strange (2023 2nd) DT (Graham) - Davon Hamilton (2020 3rd), Maason Smith (2024 2nd), Jordan Jefferson (2024 4th), Arik Armstead LB (Walker) - Foyesade Oluokun, Devin Lloyd (2022 1st), Chad Muma (2022 3rd), Ventrell Miller (2023 4th) EDGE (Walker) - Travon Walker (2022 1st), Josh Hines-Allen (2019 1st) Looking at the investments already made, if the Jags were too go with one of those positions I could see them leaning towards a rotational edge rusher or an upgrade at tight end for TLaw. Their most pressing need (imo) is at CB. I could also see them looking to go WR as well, but all scenarios point to the optimal outcome for the Jags to be move back, acquire more draft capital, and take the best prospect rather than the most needed position. This spirals a bit when I start to try and figure out what Carolina will do. If Warren or Graham falls to them they will have to determine whether or not they're better off passing on them and getting extra depth from this class. Trying to read the tea leaves, I think that they've made peace with that and are willing to move back and look to take either the best SLB or WLB available (Mykel Williams or Donovan Ezeiruaku, imo).
