It was fun to watch and interesting in its variance from theatrical jousting presentations. Unlike medieval armor, this stuff weighs more and is made for at least some safety so it is not always as maneuverable as some of the traditional armor.

This is set up to be a full contact, blows given and taken event. A lot of times the personalities (or lack of personality) with all of their bluster is as entertaining as the actual joust.

I think as they develop through the weeks you will see more technique and strategy than was evident in the first week where they were all pretty much newbies.

I am glad you liked it.

I think you are right about the personalities. We may even see some egos clash.
