Hand/Eye coordination/reflexes/agility do play a role. And men have more of it those than women do. I have no doubt there are women who could kick my ass in a lot of games, but I'm hardly an elite player--and as you go up the ladder of better and better players, you're likely to find less women... That said, if the men played this like Survivor and totally schemed to get rid of the strong players, a woman could conceivably win this competition in a future season. (I saw on some other forum that ratings were pretty good for this show)

You might have found a higher concentration in places like California, but not so much on the East Coast. In the next few years I'm sure you'll see girls starting to get even when it comes to the vid game world. The competitive world is dominated by guys right now. A traditional male activity.

Jo = Wow, he got some screen time. Glad Gears of War II was not the 3 point game, there already seemed to be a heavily shooting game slant towards the contest. Not surprised Mark won with his underdog edit and the fact he was coming on strong late in the competition. They totally scripted that come from behind on an 0-4 deficit.

I mean did it matter if they showed it out of sequence? That was fucking epic. That final game totally beat the Kelly vs Amy showdown. Mark was one hit away from losing it when it was 4-3 and he came back and tied that shit up. To me, he was the only bearable male in the competition and I'm glad he owned it <3. Do I think Mark is the best gamer? Hell no. The scheming aspect and the luck of the draw (for the game) left it wide open. It was almost random to the point where if everything fell into place, a girl could have even won. For example, if Alyson woulda made it past that elimination, she probably woulda made it far. She was the best in Halo in the house (and in fighting games) so if she made the final 4 she might have had a good shot at it. If it was a strictly gaming competition, I don't believe for two seconds that the final 2 woulda been the same. Robert was so overrated. He was the biggest threat? He never won a single competition and was pretty mediocre in every game. The first week they shoulda sent Ciji in against Rob and she woulda won. Ciji is top 10 in the world on the guitar in Rock Band. No doubt she woulda won. Last Edited By: swim4life227 04/28/09 10:37 PM. Edited 1 times.

Too bad the winner was such a snooze, but it's not like Robert would have been a great winner. Next season: more game footage in context and more stats, please!

It's on Sci-Fi network, not NBC, chances are that the people watching this show are gamers. Although I understand that they had to try to appeal it to mass audiences. Robert was so overrated. He was the biggest threat? I suspect the editing kind of made it out to be that way. He was really good in shoot 'em up games and ok in everything else. Hell no. The scheming aspect and the luck of the draw (for the game) left it wide open. It was almost random to the point where if everything fell into place, a girl could have even won. No argument there. The key I think, is not necessarily who was the best all-around gamer, just who had the fewest weaknesses. You just didn't want to be the worse one in any game to finish at the bottom. I do think that based on the games that came next, if Alyson had didn't get eliminated on her week, she definitely would have gone far. Ciji is top 10 in the world on the guitar in Rock Band. No doubt she woulda won. So she says, just like she supposedly won all those Soul Calibur tournaments. I don't think she was even the high scorer on her team during Rock Band week, was she?

She should have gone the first week, she is only good in rhythm games but sucked almost all the rest. The only reason she was picked in the first place was because of her freakish appearance, she should spend more time with her kid and less playing Guitar Hero.

That's why I liked Chelsea. She seemed non-delusional and never overconfident in any of the games. Gamers (of which I am one) are generally delusional people though--at least when it comes to gaming. It may be an over-compensation thing.
