In a bit late but I drew this up yesterday then watched the episode. I don't think less of Shatter, but I'll say that the brother on the team needs to cool it and seems to be a bit of a loose cannon that Adam is always trying to calm down. The third weigh in explains a bit, but can you blame Shatter for wondering about the weight discrepancy? They decided they were satisfied with the further checks and fought. Ethan bringing up paranoiaon the post fight interview was a total dick move and I can't blame Shatter for not shaking. If what Adam said is true about the rumors in the pits it surely won't be the last of it, and I hope dearly that they get taken down a notch.

So many of you have said it all already, I'll be just a bit of an echo chamber but I have to say, I think that was my favourite episode ever. In the quarter finals I was surprised over and over again. I honestly would of bet against every one of those eventual winners in those fights. Ethan missing out on the quarters because of COVID, it just feels like the right karma. Felix did a good job driving and I feel like that match might not have changed much if Ethan had been there. I was honestly so worried that Sawblaze's contraption was going to backfire and make for a terrible fight where they lost anyways, but I was so glad it didn't. Huge had that first minute hands down but as soon as Sawblaze took out some power to their weapon it was theirs to take home the rest of the fight. It didn't disappoint and I'm truly happy for Sawblaze taking home the giant nut. I also cannot blame anyone for coming up with different gimmicks to take Huge on, if you don't you end up in a fight like Witch Doctor where you end taking all the hits and being able to dish none. Alsp, I thought you could only appeal if it was a split decision? Either way Huge showed real sportsmanship in their response. Couldn't have been happier to cap that big season off with fights and a win like that. My only hope is that the BattleBots producers lay off some of the drama next year. I get it makes for engaging TV storylines but it feels like the show is moving away from being all about competition and more in to that produced for TV reality drama. Not that it's gone far, but it's a trend I hope doesn't continue. I felt like Black Dragon got a bit cheated being put up against Riptide on the cusp of a record, and then just some of the other setups that make for great TV but feel so manufactured in a competition like that.
