- dejb 17y agoHave you ever seen The Ultimate Fighter?
- Rod 17y agoI have not, but that's a good point. Well, hackers tend to enjoy intellectual fights more than physical ones. The average viewer wants entertainment, not intellectual stimulation...

- die_sekte 17y agoThey just need to make those fights flash-y and brutal. (I have no idea how.)
- profquail 17y agoSo have them put it on SpikeTV or G4 then.
- robryan 17y agoWeb based show! I think it would be interesting if they made a little documentary following around 3 months of YC, commercially though I guess it wouldn't be overly viable, would be great to see though.
- kylec 17y agoJoel Spolsky did something similar, except with a group in interns: http://www.projectaardvark.com/movie/ http://www.projectaardvark.com/movie/ There's also a little bit in there with the founders of Reddit and (IIRC) it briefly shows a bit of the first round of YC.
- jimbokun 17y agoWasn't this show originally called justin.tv?
- rms 17y agoThe beginning of the end of Justin.tv (as tv about Justin) was when he turned the camera off midway through a date. It was a noble experiment.
