Yeah,I watched it. Thought it was kinda boring really. I'll probably watch it again, but it is certainly not on my "must watch" list.
TV programs lately have really gone to Hell. (hand basket optional.) How many damn shows must we have of people pawning crap, buying abandoned storage lockers, getting there cars repo'd, chopping down trees, catching alligators, panning for gold, and the latest, catching fish by sticking your hand down its throat. Ya ever heard of a damn fishing pole? JEEEZ! I can't believe there is that mush of an audience for this crap. More and more of them just keep popping up all the time.
How much ya wanna bet if FMJ drew more than 10 viewers, in a couple of months there will be five more versions of it on various channels?

Yeah, there are a lot of copy-cats out there.
Mainly because the shows are cheap and easy to make.
I only partially watched the show, as there was also an episode of Holme's Inspection on that I hadn't seen yet. So I would flip to FMJ during commercials.

;D Yeah, I watch Holmes all the time, ya can learn things from THAT show, like don't waste your money hiring a home inspector! Yeah, yeah, I know. Mike says to get one.....But! he still has to go in and correct the screw-ups the H.I. missed, so why waste the money? Apparently they ain't that good.
I taped FMJ and watched it later. Can't help but wonder if there is something SERIOUSLY mentally wrong with those guys. Jousting is NO major league sport like the NFL, or the NHL so I can't imagine even if you're WORLDS CHAMPION that you're making a ton of money. and the brutal physicality makes hockey and football look tame by comparison. I mean, why not just stand out on I-90 and get hit by a car? Same effect. So! You're risking serious injury or death for what, maybe 500, a 1000 bucks a week? (never mind the prize money from the show, that is a one time only thing. And only for the winner.) Gotta be a better (easier) way to make a living.

He's there.
Not jousting, but squiring.
You can see him in several scenes.

Read your posting about Bob in the other thread. Interesting. After watching the show lo these many weeks I can only come to the conclusion that these people have suffered brain damage from all the falls off the horses and being struck in the head from the lances. Why else would you subject yourself to that much physical injuries for what is probably very little money? I mean no one is signing these guys to multi million dollar contracts like NFL or NBA players get. So when every penny you make goes toward your hospital and rehab bills, is it worth it? I doubt any insurance company in their right mind would cover these guys hospitalization.
I hope Bob and the rest of these guys REALLY like what they are doing cuz I don't see them doing it for very long. Death and/or serious injuries are going to make for a very short career.
