Noah Inhofer haters
I was cheking some fighters myspace page and got to noahs somehow, scolled down to what people were saying about him, dont know if this had been posted yet, but one guy boguht up something interseting, pasted below:
To everyone who doesn't know: Reality TV is less reality, more TV.
I know people were planning to come to Noah's page and flame him after last night's TUF, but I have to say I think that's lame. I was disappointed that Noah left (that armbar he put on Jesse was the best TUF moment this season so far!), but I am more disappointed at how the show was produced around that event and how "fans" have responded.
I've been at the filming of MTV True Life: I'm A Gamer, and I personally know a family who participated in the Wife Swap reality show. It is the job of the producers of these shows to stir conflict and try to make exciting TV. They don't care about "reality, " they care about ratings.
I personally think its fucked up of the producers of TUF to give Noah a letter (I thought they weren't allowed contact with the outside world...) knowing that it would upset him, yet refuse to let him do anything about it. They gave Noah a letter letting him know his girlfriend was hurting, but then wouldn't even let him call her. Think about it. It's fucking ridiculous. They were trying to make TV, trying to push Noah's buttons and they did. It looks like they hit on one of the things Noah places above MMA.
Dana wouldn't let Noah make a call, so he left to straigthen things out. For everyone calling Noah various names and vilifying him for this incident, you guys are being total asswipes. Noah's priorities may not match yours, but that doesn't mean his are out of line.
I have nothing but respect for Noah for leaving the show. I'm sure he knew half the MMA world would rag on him for it, but he wanted to be there for his girl anyway. Regardless of whether or not they "get married and have 19 kids, " Noah acted out of character, and he showed that his integrity will be in tact even if the relationship with the girl someday isn't.
I think the producers of TUF fucked up, not Noah.
Noah, you have my respect and I wish you the best.
