Josh Yeti Brendl was out with concussions issues for awhile - WWE ususally doesn't release folks out injured so probably he was cleared and told to stay home until his contract ran out. Probably never would have got over his "jobbers" tweet about the main roster lower card anyways. So both TE winners are gone. However Patrick Clarke, Mandy and Daria are still around from that season.

Brendl now said not to be released. Which sort of goes to my point of wwe not releasing injured wrestlers. They usually have them wrestle a match before releasing them to prove they were healthy sorta deal.

Chris Atkins is that big ass Aussie body builder.

Andrea DeMarco the backstage interviewer.

It really seems like in Tough Enough (or rookie based competitions in general), winning is the worst idea. The best idea is to be the smart mark favorite in that group of people that doesn't win so people think you are screwed, then you get brought back because of sympathy and because WWE believes you have a fanbase.

What is the point of this show existing again? If they do another season and expect a single viewer I'll be amazed. They keep doing it over and over again and then firing the winner and most if not all of the other people on the show, without them ever accomplishing anything prior. It completely dilutes the meaning of the show, but you know, stay tuned for Tough Enough season 7, big things are happening! :rolleyes:

The main purpose of TE is to provide additional original programming and find talent.

The winner is inconsequential and 3 potential main roster talents is a pretty decent result.

WWE can still make a Reality competition but please dont make it tough enough. My idea for a WWE talent search reality show with rookies is to have no elimination! Let the top 10 develop together and pick a winner at the last episode. The non elimination idea is great because the trainees will develop a fanbase.

The last two seasons have been disasters and the whole concept has been a flop overall. Forget Taylor Hicks, the last two TE winners are the equivalent of William Hung and that Indian guy(forgot his name, sorry) winning American Idol.

Who knows what Chris Nowinski and Matt Cappotelli would've done if their careers hadnt been cut short.

That "tough enough" competition really worked out didn't it? :lol

As long as a few people from TE get to the roster then it keeps some credibility and that's all it needs. It's largely a reality show to get network viewers and not really a big source of new talent. IT loses any meaning and viewer numbers will drop if nobody from it gets anywhere but as long as one or two make something out of it, that will be enough.
