The annals of “Reality” television are strewn with infamous villains. From the sneaky and mean to the ruthless and disdainful, “Reality” audiences make stars out of the incessantly unlikeable. Shows like “Survivor” and “The Apprentice” owe much of their success to the gauling, yet entertaining antics of “reality” villains Richard Hatch (Survivor 1) and Omarosa (Apprentice 1).

If a good villain helps make a good “Reality” show, then “The Ultimate Fighter” Season 7 is off to a grand start. TEAM RAMPAGE fighter Jeremy May might have a lot of talent, but he’s also a pain in the rump, who has a great penchant for p*ssing off his house mates.

Episode 5 opens with a recap of last week’s hellacious fight between Tim Credeur and Matt Riddle. After Credeur’s well earned submission victory, Tim shows Riddle his respect by telling him he was one of the toughest fighters he has ever fought. He then promises to buy him an Xbox 360. Riddle is stoked! TUF villain Jeremy May is not,

“You don’t defend an armbar and you get an Xbox”.

May’s teammates all are visibly annoyed by his comments. So, the stage is set, Episode 5 will be the coming-out party for new “Reality” bad boy Jeremy May.

TUF HOUSE

Back at the house, while Riddle and a few of his castmates enjoy some bubbles and a beer in the hot tub, Jeremt May decides it’s time for more shenanigans. May pulls the old, “lock em out in the cold” prank while he plays graffitti king in the house. May gets his giggles when Riddle can’t get in the house. Then like a happy monkey, May hops on a table and scrawls his self given nickname on the ceiling,

“Jeremy ‘the BAM’ may lives here”.

Nick Klein translates the meaning, BAM = Bad Mother *ucker! He also adds that May has not done anything to earn that nickname as of yet.

Next on Jeremy May’s annoy list, is Week 2 fight winner and Tinactin recipient, Jesse Taylor. May tosses things at Taylor while they both are hanging out on the couches. Taylor yells at him to “quit it”, which of course only eggs May on. Taylor, one of the more mellow members of the house ends up flinging his Gatorade at May and then confesses to the camera his profound dislike for May.

TEAM RAMPAGE TRAINING

On the heels of two straight defeats Rampage Jackson is all about motivation. He spurs his team on in an “I mean business” tone,

“This isn’t Paddycake fellas”.

He also invites TUF Season 6 winner Michael Bisping to train with his guys. Bisping with his strong English accent exhorts the fighters to train hard and stay away from fooling around too much. All of Rampage’s fighters seem to enjoy Bisping especially Brandon Sene. Sene learns some tips from Bisping while sparring and then declares his great admiration for him.
