As lions said above:
1) I would make it more of a "skill" based competition rather than a popularity contest.
2) I would make this "skill" based competition based more upon the actual "skill" it is supposed to be based on.
The ENTIRE episode where the shooters had to remember where the plates were behind the screen COMPLETELY P!&&#D ME OFF!
The squares were the size of a house! They were competing based on their MEMORY of where the targets were rather than their actual skill! In the final "shoot off" where Bill lost......THERE WAS NO PHYSICAL WAY FOR HIM TO WIN. As soon as the targets started swinging, there was a "disqualifier" target swinging syncronized behind a winning target. He HAD to shoot all three targets without touching a disqualifier. How does one do this when a losing target is syncronized behind a winning one? HE HAD LOST BEFORE HE FIRED A SHOT.
Yes, he deserved to go. But he also deserved a fair chance.
Why isn't it possible to keep all competitors and base the competition using all of their strengths so they all have an equal chance? Why not have one episode a competition using antique muzzleloaders, one using an IDPA format, one using IPSC, one using long range, one using long range pistol, maybe indoor small-bore three or four position, sillouette pistol, etc., etc., and then SCORE THEM ALL at the end of the series to determine a winner?
This way, they all have an equal chance, it is NOT a popularity contest, and they are judged based on SKILL and not goofy crap like their MEMORY?
