Last night was the Season Finale of Tough Enough and boy was it good. WWE did a fantastic job of making it really seem important. I absolutely loved the live cut-ins with the music and Cole hyping the announcement. Making the announcement live on RAW was a really cool touch, especially with Vince making an appearance. I just wonder if Andy knew ahead of time that he was going to win, because he had to do the spot with Vince and Austin. Maybe they went over the spot with both guys, but I'm not sure.

My only real complaint about the episode was that we just got to see highlights of the exhibition matches. I guess I understand it though. WWE probably didn't want us to see the boring parts or any botches. Plus, it kept us from hearing Booker's commentary, so that's good. By the way, I really liked Bill wearing the old school tights. The only thing that only seeing highlights hurt was that we couldn't tell who should have won. Both guys looked equal, so when the trainers were all picking Andy I wasn't sure why.

Let's break down the show a little...

Ricky Steamboat.: I loved watching him training both guys. You could really see how much he was paying attention and really keeping both guys on point. It was cool how he watched them for a little and figured out exactly what they needed to do. I thought it was strange that they didn't go over the matches with Bill ahead of time. I think it's a good idea though, as it forces the guys to be able to call their matches on the fly.

Andy.: Andy was definitely the feel good story of the episode. I was surprised he won, but I do think he deserved it. He performed well throughout the show and peaked late. His win reminded me of the old saying "slow and steady wins the race." During his training segments, we got to see how dedicated he was and how hard he was working. Also, I liked seeing that he was doing a lot of normal sized guy workouts, rather than just beefing up. That is why Andy is pretty agile for his size. I do think Andy needs some new gear though. What I saw him wearing was total jobber gear. I think he needs both kneepads, and he needs to lose the singlet.

Luke.: Luke kind of turned me off a little when his segment started with him partying. He did eventually kick it into gear though and his training was pretty intense. Luke did say that he was "race ready" and I kind of agree with that. I think he is ready for the WWE. He certainly has a marketable look and charisma. I think the loss may be a good thing for Luke, as it gives him a chip on his shoulder that could make a heel character work well. I don't think it will be long before we see Luke again. It would have been kind of cool to see him get eliminated with a Stunner though.

Rest of the cast.: I liked having all the losers back. It was good to see them all again. I wonder why Rima wasn't there though. Out of all the girls, I was looking forward to seeing her the most. I kind of felt bad for Martin having to stand there and watch the finalists, knowing that he probably should have been one of them. It's good to see that he seems to be all healed now, so hopefully we will see him soon. I'm not sure if anyone else caught it but there was a funny moment with Ryan and Mikael. When the losers were going into the ring, Ryan got in and held the rope for Areyanne. Then, Mikael started to get in and Ryan let the rope go and I think I noticed Mikael get mad. It was also funny seeing Erik react to getting booed.

Overall, I really enjoyed the whole show. I can't wait for another season, and I hope they keep all the same trainers. They did a fantastic job this season. Until next time...
