Last season it was Adam Benson (for more reasons than I care to remember):
My preliminary thoughts on this seasons’ 16 contestants you ask?
Maggie Reese – Seems very down to earth also. Good to see a confident girl in the mix. Her competitive background will likely be a huge asset.
Athena Lee – Seems down to earth also. Plus she competes, so she will be used to the pressure.
George Reinas – Full of himself… I hope he gets shut down hard on episode #1.
That’s all the videos history seems to have up so far.. I’ll formulate more opinions as the new videos go up.
- You can watch those video, and read the bios for the rest of the contestants on the History Channel Website – HERE
Season 2 of the show premieres Feb 8th on History
If anyone wants to go out on a limb and make a prediction of Season 2 Top Douchebag, let the comments be the record.
JUMP DOWN ↓ TO ADD ANOTHER
Hey quick question, all douche baggery aside. Was the first season even worth watching, even just for shits and gigs? I always meant to watch it, but ended up missing the whole thing.
I actually ended up enjoying it. If you don’t like drama though (survivor style) then you probably wouldn’t enjoy it. I’m hoping Season 2 will have more shooting less drama.
Actually I have never seen Survivor so… ha. Alright well just wanted a personal opinion on it, since no one I know actually enjoys or likes firearms (they don’t dislike either, they’re just indifferent).
On a side note, love the website man, seen some pretty awesome stuff.
-Thanks
Might as well give an episode a try then!
Glad you like the blog Steve. Good to have you.
Jermaine Finks might be a top douchebag rat fink. I guess we will have to wait and see. :P
Watch these to videos if you haven’t already; I think you can tell just from them who is a douche:
Daryl Parker, Jay Lim, and Kyle Frasure have my bet.

I’m wondering if I should take bets as to whether Adam has the stones to show up at the Top Shot reunion that Crimson Trace has tried to organize for Thursday at SHOT? Just truly a vile human being.
Reinas is definitely in the lead right now and seems like he is all drama
I’m voting for Ashley Spurlin for the win for this season fr 2 reasons:
1) He a beard; it’s not nearly as epic as mine is but as the only one with a beard that puts him ahead of the game.
2) He’s a guy with the first name Ashley. As Johnny Cash and the Evil Dead movies have taught me men with girl’s names gotta grow up tough.
George Reinas…..can’t wait to see him choke.
Ashley Spurlin is a good guy. Shot with him is some local mathes. Real down to earth.
Ashley started out as a good guy but became a real douche by the end of the show. He represented the military poorly but accurately: they say it’s all about performance and who can hack it, but it’s really all about favoritism and who is buddies with who. Weaker guys get carried if they’re pals with the right people and good guys get drummed out if they’re not.
LOL. I love this blog. :) 16 type A personalities… you bet you are going to get something from them. LMAO :)
Jamie Franks has my vote for top douce bag. For reals, he looks(and smells) like a turd covered in burnt hair. Ok, actually, I hope Jamie does well.
So far, Jay Lim has proven to be the biggest douche with his “I’m the best at everything” attitude, and then his ridiculing of people who didn’t do what he would’ve done. If you saw last night’s episode, there’s another great example; besides being a douche, he completely ignored the range instructor’s suggestion without trying it, despite missing almost every shot. Then he had the gall to have poor trigger discipline? For only having shot for a year, he sure thinks he knows everything.
At this point, Jay wins it hands down.
He’s been shooting for 1 year, yet he’s so presumptuous as to tell bona-fide experts and people how do this whole shooting thing for a living on what they should do to correct their shots. He handles a pistol like he’s never shot before (cup and suacer), and refuses to take instruction from an instructor.
He fancies himself as the team “leader”, when he’s been worthless in team competitions, and then has the balls to complain when someone decided he should go to elimination.
Unless a successor rises out of the group, he’s my pick for top douchebag.
I don’t think many people here understand what a douche is. George is BY FAR the biggest douchebag in this competition. There isn’t anyone who comes anywhere close except for PERHAPS Ashley and Jay.
I’m not a fan of Jay either, but he seems more inexperienced and stubborn than a douche. Georgie on the other hand is fake as hell jersey trash.
I would say either George or Ashley with Jay running a very close 3rd. George is a douche bag “Situation” wannbe, whereas Ashley is just another butt nugget who thinks his spec ops ass dont stink. I laughed pretty hard last night at the 1911 speedshoot when that douche couldnt even hit a fucking target and best of all he was saying that Kyle doesnt belong in his house. He was saved by that little californian shotgunner. And on performance alone if the blue team did lose, Ashley would have been in the elimination round hands down becaused he sucks with a 1911.
I think you should just give George now the King Massengill crown.
And “Air Force Sniper”? Seriously? Isn’t that the military version of Mall Cop?
“Air Force sniper” is a flat-out lie. The Army and Marines have snipers in combat. The Air Force “snipers” are guys who make the shooting team and travel around the country attending shooting competitions. The Air Force “sniper” got deployed to Iraq and spent his time driving a truck and sitting around an office in the green zone.
George Reinas is the ultimate douche IMO. When i first herd him talking about showing off, i believe with the M 14 he said it was like crushing 225 on the bench, easy to show of with… and when asked if he had any archery experience said he uses a bow to “destroy” deer in the woods. Funny how he’s all show but i haven’t seen him do ANYTHING impressive yet…I can’t wait to see this asstard fail. Won’t be much longer now.
Yo. So this faggot jersey shore trash is a the biggest douche in the universe. Nuff said.
I was wondering why George was acting so much like a sorority girl on the show with his constant drama, then I found out his self proclaimed Jersey boy status and it all came to light. What a total douche. I be he likes it up the ar se too. Such a drama queen.
George is by far the biggest douche in Top Shot History.
Georgie is top douche without a doubt. As a vet, I would never wAnt to share a foxhole
With this total asshole wanna be baddass. Embarasment to good military members the world over. It won’t be long till his little bunch of buddies turns on him.
What’s really sad is that they didn’t turn on him, they idolized him, which shows what a bunch of douches they are. They all (except the Navy guy) represented the military very poorly. It wasn’t about performance here, it’s about who can tell the most realistic BS stories and get the other guys to have a man-crush on them. These guys are bottom-of-the-barrel military ego-trip asses who sit around and stroke each other. Most military guys are really decent and have a lot of humility, I don’t know where they found these jerkoffs. Season 2 should be called Top-Dick.
George by a mile! He used the term “Bro-ner”!
Truth. Typical jock douchebag. How about some humility?
Glad Ashley is gone, because of the way he treated Jamie. Someone needs to teach him respect! His bad attitude with a gun will only lead to trouble.
Yep, Ashley started out good then became just another loud-mouth dickhead.
Ashley Spurlin ought to be embarassed of himself. No honor at all refusing to shake Jamie’s hand upon exiting. You call this guy an honorable military member? A Marine woukld never act that way.

Ashley’s Bronze star is meritorious for being an air traffic controller…now that’s a douchebag…I was suspicious ever since I saw the ‘USAF Special Forces’ BS…Funny how he and George have the most military pride, and have the nerve to place themselves on the same level as the marines still left in the competition, yet they’re in the PU$$Y-est miliary branch…What Losers.
Special Forces my cracked ass. His “combat action” involved sitting in a chair. I’m not making fun of air traffic controllers. If that’s what you are, own it. George and Ashley are all talk.
United States Air Force Combat Controllers (CCT) (AFSC 1C2X1) are ground combat forces specialized in a traditional pathfinder role while having a heavy emphasis on simultaneous air traffic control, fire support and command, control, and communications in covert or austere environments. Assigned to Special Tactics Squadrons, Combat Controllers are an integral part of Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC), the Air Force component of United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM). Combat Controllers are often assigned individually or as a team to Army Special Forces, Army Ranger, and Navy SEAL teams to provide expert air support coordination and communications capabilities.
Career Tasks
•Perform precision parachute jumps to penetrate hostile areas
•Be proficient in water operations using both scuba and amphibious techniques
•Learn to be proficient on motorcycles, snowmobiles and skis
•Learn to rappel and fast-rope
•Be an expert with maps and compasses
•Be capable of overland travel in any environment
•Function under the most demanding weather conditions
•Establish assault zones and direct aircraft within those zones
What are your qualifications?
Dude, you have no idea what you are talking about. He is not a Air Traffic Controller, he is Combat Controller. A big diffrence. One lands planes on AFBs, the other drops bombs on peoples heads. He is SF. Every SF team has one or two cause other services constantly screw it up. He has been credited for killing more than 50 Taliban. What does someone have to do to earn your respect? Set back down on your couch and open your beer!
What does he have to do to earn my respect? Not acting like a total douchebag on TV is a big start. I respect his qualifications and his service to his country, but I don’t respect the way he represented himself and the military on TV. He and his buddies that finished ahead of him are great shooters, too bad they (except Jamie) acted like a clique of high school girls.
George is by far the biggest douche bag. I am surprised that the other guys, especially “gunny” haven’t sent him to the elimination round yet. I was hoping that would have happened last night. At least Ashley went home.
I normally wouldn’t wish harm to anyone, but I would have laughed my ass off if he fell down and broke his leg after not shaking Jamie’s hand at the end. Talk about having no honor. Maybe he will fall in front of a plane while directing traffic at the airport. I’m going with the underdog. Jamie.
Air traffic controller..
Clearly you dont even possess the intelligence of a lint ball. You have no idea what a Combat Controller is, does, or why Ashley actually earned his Bronze Star.
Special Forces are Army, but they do not possess the only special operators. Ashley is one. You are a smack talking lowlife.
Any man who thinks that serving in Special Forces or wearing a Bronze Star excuses poor sportsmanship and petulant behavior is not worthy of serving in Special Forces nor wearing the Bronze Star. I have to agree with all the people “smack talking” Spurlin. He was a poor shot through the entire competition, petulantly lashed out at Jamie when he found himself up for elimination, didn’t have the damn decency his competitors hand, and made up a story on about Jamie on his Facebook page. For being a poor representative of the U.S. Military, U.S. Air Force, and the Special Operations community and for attempting to discredit a fellow service member on Facebook I believe that Admin Mike should crown Ashley Spurlin Top Douche-Bag.
No frickin’ doubt, your comment is solid.
I take that back…Ashley may be coming in for top spot.
No, I do not know what an Air traffic controller is or does or what Ashley may have done to recieve the coveted Bronze Star, but as others have agreed, there was no reason why he acted the way he did. Maybe I missed something in the earlier episodes.
NHL hockey players that hate each other and fistfight in the playoffs shake hands at the end of their playoff 7-game series. Ashley Spurlin has less class than the average sports jock.
No, you didn’t miss anything from earlier sea-sons…Ashley truly is a whiny little air force Douchebag who thinks picking on people makes him a badass…Check this out, William…from Wikipedia:
United States Air Force Combat Controllers (CCT) (AFSC 1C2X1) are ground combat forces specialized in a traditional pathfinder role while having a heavy emphasis on simultaneous air traffic control
Explain to me, again how a Combat Controller is not an air traffic controller?? OK, in addition to air traffic controller, maybe they direct fires…who cares? In my book he’ll always be a pu$$y air traffic controller who got a meritorious bronze star, which are given out like candy (literally)…I’m not impressed until I see the V device…Anyone who considers themselves a valuable member of SOCOM in today’s operating environment better show me the V device, or you’re still just a lowly douchebag.
George…eat a big ole dick you douche bag
Georgia is a faggott Jersey boy pole smoker. Can’t wait to see him ass fail.
George is a moron. He seems a bit gay too. He talked about a broner in a few episodes. That’s pretty gay. Anyway he’s definitely top douchebag. Blow hard elevendy times bitch stick.
I’d have to say that George takes the cake on Top Douche Bag …. As adults, we’re supposed to grow out of the 8 year old school girl mentality of “We don’t want to play with you” … Which is why I wont watch the season finale … Top Shot should be about marksmen competing, not little boys acting like bratty, stuck up little boys.
Boys nothing, George and his buddies act like a school girl clique. They should be trying out for a part in the movie Mean Girls.
Come on Cletus, everyone from New Jersey is a faggot. I think George got his personality from watching to many reruns of the Jersey Shore. He would definetly fit in with that bunch. And give me a break, big tough Air Force sniper afraid of heights. Correct me if I’m wrong, I thought snipers shot from elevated positions?
That’s because he’s not an actual sniper, he’s just a bitch who made their shooting team.
correction… should be “not a faggot” I should proof read a little better!
I played football with George back in High School. He was always more of a bullshitter than a douchebag, but can back up his shit talking. Fact is people from Jersey think we’re better than everyone else in the world because simply… we are. We’re brought up to have balls and not take shit from anyone… even the bookworms will throw their hands at the first sign of aggression. You people are just a bunch of losers sitting behind your computers hating on anyone with one-hundred percent confidence in their abilities and not being afraid to let geeks like yous (yea i said “yous”) know how awesome they can be. I hope he wins just to piss yous all off… but he can be kind of a douchbag at times haha.
Talk is talk. It’s nothing if you don’t go out and SHOW it. George didn’t. He lost, and it wasn’t necessarily because of his shooting. He showed that he’s a moron who can’t think on his feet.
George…no Ashley…no George is the biggest douchebag in history. I’d suggest he back off the juice but it wouldn’t improve that personality…or lack of one. You just know he’s one of those who kisses those juiced up muscles in the mirror every day, and that’s IN the gym. God only knows the extent he worships himself in private. He doesn’t come is as pretty a package as he thinks he does, and that packaging just enhances the fact that it covers a pile of crap. He’s an embarrassment to the USAF. Ashley’s a real close second though. What a bad loser! A man who won’t shake another man’s extended hand is no man. He’s just another little schoolyard bully like his pal Georgie boy.
Ashley and George are both sorry excuses for human beings. Rangers lead the way… all the way. Air Farce is a joke, if you can’t make it in the real mans Army, well then go join the Farce. Attitudes like theirs just prove how they couldn’t make it with the skills they have, bullies never change, so much talk and weightlifting to back up that lack of confidence. They don’t have to worry about roids shrinking their testicles… they never had any under their vagina’s. George is TOP DOUCHEBAG without a doubt, they should have called the show POP GUN PRINCESS with him in the cast.
The “machine”?… like a butt plug? That is the George I KNOW!! Typical Jersey Jerk, gives the rest of us a bad name. He loves himself long time, nobody else can.
Well I still think George is in love with himself, but considering that he may have thrown the competition to help out someone who could really use the cash is something you don’t see much any more. I’m glad the whole thing is over. Maybe if there is a TS3, they can get better shooters. Gunny with all those NRA wins, you should have smoked that course!
George is cocky fool and coward. Talking about Ashley, well I think he deserved a punch in his face for his disrespectful actions. What an idiot.
so what did ashley say in jamie’s facebook page? I just watched the episode where ashley throws a tantrum at jamie. LOL!
Some of you guys are such idiots.
You think someone’s a douchebag for not knowing or performing well and having an attitude, then you admit you know nothing about the job he does and assume he’s just a desk jockey.
Completely hypocritical.
A combat air controller is just as important in a SF unit as a medic or a weapons sgt. He doesn’t direct planes around. The CAC is on the ground WITH the SF units and is the guy on the radio to the planes to direct them in on targets, telling them information regarding friendly locations, egress routes, etc.
He’s basically the guy directing all of the firepower from the ground on targets that he can visually SEE, and usually they are shooting back at the planes and the guys on the ground.
He got his Bronze star because he was under fire and called in strikes on enemy units that were pinning down other US forces that couldn’t escape.
You guys are such idiots it’s completely beyond me. Trash his behavior and attitude, but don’t act like you know anything or could do anything he’s done, because you can’t – and haven’t. He’s a douche maybe, but still a more accomplished douche than you internet naysayers will ever be.
Trash the guy, not the job. Tons of great professionals do his job and it’s a highly skilled and stressful occupation.
Morons.
After watching the whole season I would have to vote for Ashley he conducted himself in a very poor manner he had no integrity and was a very bad sport a 5 star douche bag. A close second would have to be George he is a prime example of a narcissist a 4.5 star douche bag. Both where very poor representatives of the US military it is sad to say there seems to be more and more douche bags like Ashley and George joining the services nowadays. To round off the top 3 I would rate Jay a 3.5 star douche bag solely because he was a know it all and could not be told anything he also liked to bagging out others while making plenty of excuses for his own poor performances. Overall there where a few others that behaved like dicks but those where the 3 stand outs for me. After watching the first two season I will not be wasting my time with any further seasons as it is not about who is the top shot.
Ashley? Seriously that is his name? Air force sniper huh? Man this guy has serious insecurity issues. It was embarrassing to watch him have his needy moments. His bullying tactics are a sign of cowardice and certainly no leadership skills. By the way, I think he needs another tattoo. One right across this forehead, that say’s Total looser. I was so glad to see this Jerk go.
Come on, they were just acting like high school girls, like someone said. Really, forming cliques and literally acting like mean girls. They served in the military which is supposed to be based on people with honor, yet they were saying things were performance-based, but didn’t vote for Joe when his time expired for the 1000 yard shot. I had wished Jamie had won just because they were all against him for really no reason.
I couldn’t even be bothered to watch the last episode because they were so proud of themselves for backstabbing Jamie all season, especially George. They all said who they were voting for before and then turn around and shoot Jamie’s target… I mean, do they honestly feel proud when they see themselves on TV? Like Jamie said, they should have just manned up from the beginning and said, “Look man, we don’t like you and we’re going to keep voting to send you to elimination.” Instead, they lie to his face, meet up behind his back, and shoot his target.
The fact that they serve(d) the country just makes it worse. If they are representative of the US military, who are supposed to exemplify honor, then it’s no wonder so much of the world hates Americans.
