TUF 13 on TV?

DrPhilG

Only a few days away and I can't find the details for where it is showing and when.

I'm at work now or I'd check the Sky planner, but does anyone have info?

Marshall Zelaznik wouldn't confirm last time I nagged him if it was still on Sky or moving. And will we still have a 4 day delay behind the US?

PS, I want to know the TV home for TUF, not where everyone is streaming or downloading the pirate version...

Goldie: "AND IT IS AAAAAAALLLL OVER!"

Rogan: "He just shivered his timbers Mike"

Rogan : he cannot see out of his right eye.

Goldie : thats because of the patch Joe.

:rolleyes:

Pirates aside what day does this start. Looking forward to it .

A few days? Doesn't it start tomorrow? I remember it always being on Wednesdays at 2am.

I also remember there was usually a fight card prior to the season premier. Anyone have any info? I can't see much about it in google.

scudzilla

Sure it airs in U.S on March 30th

the_doctor199

I imagine we'll be bombarded with adverts on Saturday nights event for this. I'll most likely do the same as the last few series and watch all the episodes over a day or two before the Finale skipping out most of the crap.

dave1982

Is it the 1st night theres not a UFN on before a TUF premiere?

UFN 24 on Saturday

rivalius13

Sky had the last season, I'd imagine they'll be carrying this one as well, unless last season was a trial run and it did terribly.

Ian Whelan

Does anybody know anything about any of the competitors? There's an English guy called Michael Bowman and a German resident not originally from Germany, that's the only European interest. I really hope an Irish competitor can make it onto the show soon.

MrStuffins

All of the competitors have been revealed. There was a video released a while back.

The try outs and auditions are on right now for TUF 14 and Paul McVeigh is through to the final round AFAIK!

Small preview on the ufc website

MrStuffins

couple of things.

Dana comes out at the start of every season and says how "this season is the craziest".... i havent heard a peep from him yet.

Also, they missed a chance to make some quality TV. Lesnar v Mir might not have made much sense competitively, but it would've made sense as far as TV goes, building a rivalry and selling PPVs.

I can't see Lesnar getting a rise out of Dos Santos. in fact, I can't even see Lesnar wanting to have any.

there' nothing filling me with excitement about this season.

(and before anyone says "Oh, what about the fights? If you want drama, watch Big Brother"......... I love the reality TV aspect of TUF just as much as the fights)

Searched all over online and still no word of what channel is showing the series.
surely they know by now?

It's on Spike TV as always.

If you want to watch it on terrestrial then you'll be behind by about a week all the time. I used to do it but could never avoid spoilers for that long.

hisholinessnb

Terrestial tv a week late is fine, I'm too old fashioned for that watching tv online malarky.
I have no problem avoiding spoilers, but strange that there seems to be nothing online about which channel is showing it.

DrPhilG

2 days after the show goes out in the US and not only have we not seen it yet (legally) we don't even have a prospective date for it.

According to the UFC their distribution team are "still working on it". Probably the biggest territory for the UFC outside of N America and we don't have a deal for TUF 2 days after it starts?

Shambles.

DrPhilG

So...

Any particular reason you posted spoilers about TUF in the thread where people are complaining that they're not able to watch it yet?

I know you used spoiler tags but I got the emailed notification so it didn't help...

Oh_Noes

If they really wanted to watch it they'd just watch it online. It's 2011 ffs. it's like me saying "don't post spoilers for Coronation Street because I choose to only watch it on the classic soaps channel".

The first episode is rubbish anyways so ye're not missing much lads.

Its nothing like that, its a tv programme, and it has not been shown on tv yet here.

I for one don't have internet access at home. As do many many people believe it or not.
I don't use it enough to justify the costs.

So pardon us who think its reasonable not to give away what happens on a TV programme before its ever aired here.

or maybe just dont read the spoilers thread

Ah sure can't be too hard to have one thread for realtime watchers and another for the technophobes :P

dave1982

Is it not on channel 5 ?

It is officially not on anywhere.

The UFC say they are still working on securing a distribution deal.

Why don't you just learn how to use the internet and, if that's not enough, learn how to connect your laptop to your TV?

:rolleyes: hence why there is a thread called "TUF 13: Team Lesnar vs. Team dos Santos Decision Thread **SPOILERS**" and this thread

They sell HDMI cables in the €2 shop now.

DrPhilG

I know how to use the internet and I know how to connect my laptop to the TV.

I choose not to download the show because it is illegal, that's my choice last time I checked? What I am complaining about is the fact that I shouldn't have to do without because it shouldn't be such a difficult job for the UFC to secure a broadcast deal for the show in their biggest foreign territory.

Fair enough then, I retract my smart-alecness. But you should just give it up, all the kids are doing it these days.

A quote from Marshall Zelaznik

Sorry all of you UK fans. We are trying to work out a good result for TUF-I am hoping this week we will have news. I wish I had a good excuse but sometimes these TV deals aren't as easy as they seem. All your complaints have been heard-this is priority number 1. Thanks for your patience.

Hoping they'll at least start out with a double episode to get us caught up.

At least we know they're working on something. I wish they'd hurry and get it sorted though. Not like the series started out of the blue.
