Crush: Gina CaranoDespite telling ESPN.com writer Sam Alipour that he would be able to "kill" her in the Joust, Gina "Crush" Carano used that big freakin' Q-tip to beat the snot out of him. Twice.

Alipour wrote up the whole, sad episode in this ESPN.com column. His sums up his interview with Carano thusly:

Of all of the females, Crush, a soft-spoken, oft-smiling brunette beauty is the one you'd take home to Momma. And Carano doesn't exactly reek of confidence. She signed on "because they're paying me to play games on TV," and although she's an MMA pro, she "never trained with weapons. I showed up the first day, and all of the rest of the girls passed on the joust, so it fell to me."
