Knights of Mayhem

I've watched the FMJ once and was not impressed. Their armour look as though they just stepped out of an anime cartoon. and in a jousting competition I think that any of the knights of Mayhem would win against the full metal jousters (mostly due to their size difference). The FMJ appeared to be smaller and come from back gounds such as horse jumping etc. The KoM come appear to come from fighting back grounds and if I had the $$ and the skill I would would certainly Join the KoM 

@windwalker Charlie was abrasive to say the least. I think FMJ plays better as a competition show rather than a docu-drama that KoM tried to be.

Excellent show and I hope the show continues as wll as the Full Metal Jousting show that the H itory Channel is producing, For the Haters out there take a pill!

After watching the Series Finale, I found Charlies antics to be juvenile at best. I get it, you had a contract with the guy for the horses. Enough said, but to sit there and laugh at Patrick, I mean SERIOUSLY? Thats stuff you outgrow in high school. As a career military man AND a professional Horseman, I would personally not want to hang out with Sir Charles. That said, I wish the sport the best, it is quite entertaining, and I think has some growth potential as who DOSNT like a good joust?

As an armchair historian and historical recreationist, I watch the show to get a perspective on a game I don't play. I recently spoke with a gentleman who produces armor for this sport. He personally knows Charlie, Patrick and Jason. I'm told that if anything, they edited a lot of the jerk OUT of Charlie and that Patrick is actually a very polite and soft-spoken person. I get that NatGeo has to produce a show that gets ratings. I only hope that it doesn't hurt jousting in this country, or the game that I play.

As just a show? I enjoy it. Many things mass produced these days that have to do with history are wrong. But if it gets people interested in history, I'm all for it. Those of us who know will teach people what actually happened.

Patrick Lambke rode an Andulusian he couldn't control, endangering the horse. I estimated that the entire tournament could not have enough money to buy that horse. All for a $1000 prize? For a guy who was trying to mount it with from an aluminum kitchen stool? This appeared to be more of a staged feud as well. I found the joust entertaining, and the audience probably had a good time, but Nat Geo gave it "overblown" coverage. I'd like to see jousting become a sport. Maybe this is where it starts so it can become real.

I concur with the previous post. Those lances are drilled. Charlie is a fake. I jousted full contact in the UK. They are using prepared drilled dowl rods. Drilled lances break easily. Real wooden lances are tuned and contoured so you can properly couch it under your arm. His team are also inexperienced horsemen. No wonder he beats them. Charlie Andrews is a fake SEAL and a fake full contact jouster.

This show is such a joke. World Champion? Of what 5 guys? I think most of them are middle aged fat beer gutted losers and this is all they can do to make themselves feel cool. Someone tell the younger guys to quit now to avoid being complete losers. The one guy needs to stick to fighting. Pathetic!

I thought I had seen the dumbest thing ever in "Reality TV" when the Pig hunting shows emerged. Well this is as bad if not worse. Horrible show and a very lame idea for a "Sport" I wouldn't pay a dime to watch this garbage.

I like Natgeo but wont be watching this crap.

charlie andrews (a.k.a. robert charles mason) has made his life around being an ex combat navy seal

I do watch the show with family members. I like it, but could do without the mouth and attitude of Charlie. Pat Lambke is quieter, more humble. If you are good, you don't need to tell the world; the world will tell you. Keep the show coming, but let us see other men besides Charlie the mouth.

Watch the episode "threat to the throne" around 12 minutes in and you will see that they drill holes in the poles to weaken them. BUSTED!

Lots of haters. Also lots of static all over the net from the same two or three people about Charlie and the Seals. You self-righteous boy scouts need to understand that you sound half hysterical and aren't convincing anybody. You wanna call Charlie a loser? He has a series on Nat Geo and you don't, so shut up.

It's also done wrong, the only thing they have right is horses and long pole. From the start they are running on the wrongs side. Remember the Brits drive on the left which was traditional FROM jousting. An Engraving showing which side they fought http://elfinspell.com/images/ChivalryTitlePicB.jpg

This show sucks! You are a world champion jouster? What world are you jousting in when there are only five competitors that all train together. Such a joke and your a fake Navy Seal and NAT GEO supports this garbage. Sell your horse and armor and join the service and do something with your fake machismo personality.
