Also, it seems to me that everyone is concerned about finding out the results of fights before they air... is this spoiling, and if so, how is it possible for anyone to know the result of a fight (especially who gets the contract) before the fight airs?

The semis results are all out(the show is taped and some results would have leaked., noone knows who gets the contract because the winner fights are live after the show finishes airing. I realise the semis results were divulged on Beatdown but, Gross did give a fair warning before he said anything. What was said on Beatdown however has no impact on the spoilers rule, the Sherdog.com website is an MMA news site, Sherdog.net is a forum, so while the results were discussed on Beatdown, they will not be discussed here because there's a lot of people here who don't know the results and don't want the show to be spoiled(IE first season Fightsport.com spoilers).

Gross ruined the season for me. There was at least a glimmer of hope before last night, but now I feel like I am watching TUF reruns for the rest of the season until the finale. It was an idiotic, unforgiveable thing to do. Once Josh put out the spoiler, it was unavoidable here on Sherdog in the forums. Dozens of threads included spoiler info. Once I figured out the spoiler was out I actively avoided the TUF forum and any threads that seemed like they might contain the info, but I stumbled into the semifinalist list about 3 weeks after the spoiler was announced. I hate that the four semifinal fights will be 'reruns' for me and gave up my last glimmer of hope that the spoilers could be wrong last night after the matchups were announced.

Josh should have shown some ******* restraint. I didn't realize how much it sucked until last night, when I was cheering for Din primarily because I wanted him to ruin the spoiler info.
