WWE Announces $1,000,000 Tough Enough
The prize is actually a four year deal for $250K. What an odd way to celebrate 23 some months left on Mark Henry’s deal. Entrants are limited to men.
After selecting the eight finalists for the $1,000,000 Tough Enough, the official competition will be held weekly on WWE SmackDown! on UPN (Thursdays, 8 p.m. ET/7 p.m. CT) beginning this October. The eight contestants will train with Tough Enough Trainer Al Snow, and then appear on WWE SmackDown! to undertake specific tasks to show why they are worthy to be Tough Enough Champion. Each week, a contestant will be eliminated based on fan voting leading up to the finale on December 16 when the winner is declared.
YES! Al! I totally thought he was going to get screwed here. (And there’s still time.)
12/16 is the final, seven weeks of eliminations – how the heck can you train someone in seven weeks? Get real or get trained people – means it’ll go
11/04 – 8 left (starting)
11/11 – 7 left
11/18 – 6 left
11/25 – 5 left
12/2 – 4 left
12/9 – 3 left
12/16 – final
Given 3 weeks of casting (press release says LA, Miami, and Dallas, what random and anti-NE choices) means it’ll start showing up around 10/14, I’d guess. Diva Search ends 9/13, and I’m surprised they didn’t make the gap shorter.
If I were them, I’d start a week sooner and make Thanksgiving an off week of some sort. They do the same in every other facet for that week.
I’ll be covering Tough Enough in some shape or fashion.
No women? Does that mean The Anti-Christ is finally sick of boob jobs?

I was wondering what you thought about Team Midget in TAR5…

Leaving *all* eliminations up to fan voting for a contract worth up to $1,000,000? I think we might see some people “drop out” that the fans like but the company thinks are worthless clods. I can’t imagine they wouldn’t exercise any kind of control at all over who stays and who goes, but they do all sorts of things I can’t imagine in the first place, like Kenzo Suzuki.
Kenzo Suzuki does things you can’t imagine?
No, WWE’s putting him on TV is what I couldn’t have imagined.
