I wonder. Some people think Deadliest Warrior is biased ONLY when it comes to Americans. Some say that the Green Beret losing to the Speznaz was a coverup for all the other American wins. Some American wins make sense, but with SWAT vs. GSG9, which was the lowest rated episode, specifically because the German sniper rifle was MUCH better, but in the sim it got more kills. I think that one was pretty biased, since the GSG9 have better snipers.

Anyway, what do YOU think?

They aren't biased. They are usually right before hand.

With SWAT vs. GSG9, it came down to training. If that episode was in the new season, that would've been factored in. But what other episodes have the Americans won when they should've lost?

But since the new season I've pretty much decided to stop watching it because of those two new guys. Baldy makes everything sound like a history lesson and everything he says sounds more scripted than the rest of them. The other guy at the computer just sits there all day rather than going to the weapons testing.

The GSG9 had more factors, like the chicken training thing, and instead of using the frag grenade that they DID use, they used a stun one. :P

The show isn't biased because they had the green berets go against the spetsnaz and the spetznaz won

It's the way they do it, as if the cia only used 4 different types of weapons. piff

and etc with the people in the new millennial (guns n stuff)

or with 'joan of arc' vs 'duke of blahwhatshisface'

that just made me facepalm, pure speculation that one.

I liked Greek solider vs mongols

and ones like that

You should read my whole thread. Some say it's just a coverup for the other American wins.

THe most predominant case of this is Lawrence of Arabia vs. Roosevelt.

Most of the battle was fine by me, but when it came down to the knife fight between the two, how did the fat, tobacco-ridden American beat a man who could run a sub- 5 minute mile?

K then, the results are in. Deadliest Warrior is biased when it comes to Americans. Case dismissed.

I don't like the reenactments either. It's too unreal. LoA's knife was actually twice as good as TR's lol.

I think it could be, mostly because they are using a program that has to run off numbers, and you can't really give an exact number to all the factors, so they have to add some biased.
