My impressions (SPOILERS???):
Teco and Doc aren't world beaters but I was entertained.
Wasn't there a sauna in the house in previous seasons?
And why didn't they have to fight to get into the house?
Btw, this show is being shown 5 days earlier in Mexico, so I'd avoid googling it until after each episode.
I just watched the first episode on Fight Pass, although I had gotten the result spoiled previously by looking on UFC.com. The first fight was entertaining. I think Doc might end up at 125 pounds with his stature compared to the other guys. The advantage probably goes to Cain's Mexicans in the next few early matchups, especially since they are picking for now. They didn't make contestants fight their way into the house because the talent pool of Mexican and Latin American fighters is limited compared to American and Canadian fighters.
One 'white' guy in the whole cast? Looks racist to me........everyone is always trying to keep the white man down......
I won't be...just cuz I don't have fight pass and the only way I am able to watch TUF is to fast forward to the fights. The rest is just about as bad as the Kardashians.... I should watch though to practise my Spanish. I have lost most after being quite versed after my travels earlier in life.

I think the sauna has always been in the gym.
As for the fights to get into the house, I'd guess the talent wasn't there to start with 32 fighters, some of the guys that are in are very inexperienced, particularly the Latin America team.

Wow, good number there. The UFC 180 numbers will be huge as well.

I would imagine the UFC is praying for a TUF 1, 2, 5, 14 type of season, the kind where a good number of guys make it into the UFC and have success. With these ratings, they could create a number of local (Central/South America) heroes.
