Not to say that tempers don't flair in the heat of battle, but that happens in FRC also.

I am sure Paul could give you more specifics, but don't be fooled by the "reality tv drama."

Can't wait for the next season, they have done a fantastic job with the reboot!

Yeah, I kind of had an idea that it was just for the sake of "reality drama". I was just wondering if it really was just played up for tv or some of them were just... you know.
