Top Tweets

First of all I want to give big thanks to the man himself, Colby Donaldson, for retweeting the link to this blog before last night's premiere. That guy is awesome.

Second I am working on my first recap, it should be up later this evening, or early tomorrow morning.

In the meantime I thought it would be a good idea to see what some of the past contestants are up to, and so below I have made a list of active twitter accounts for past contestants if you feel inclined to follow them.

I also thought I would do a quick recap of some tidbits Colby let drop during his livetweet of last nights episode:

• No surprise, but this season will also feature past contestants, any thoughts on who will pop up?
• There will be more WWII weapons featured this season.
• The glasses this blog is looking through are apparently Ray-Bans
• This season was film between August and September of last year and had some blistering heat to contend with
• The show is filmed on a large cattle ranch where the cattle are apparently very good at dodging bullets.
• The first episode used 1276 bullets

[Note: I have only included contestants that seem to tweet regularly, there are other contestants with accounts, but they have used them infrequently.Let me know if you would like those as well.]

Top Shot Premieres Tonight 10/9 Central

Just a few reminders.

Top Shot returns tonight with its Season 4 premiere at 10 p.m. Eastern, 9 p.m. Central on History Channel.  Make sure to tune in. Also note that unlike seasons past, there will not be a replay of the premiere after the initial episode airs. Because of this and circumstances beyond my control, I will not be able to watch the premiere until it is available online tomorrow. This means my first recap will not up until late tomorrow, or early Thursday.

Also don't forget to follow Colby on Twitter @Colby_Donaldson to read along as he live tweets the show.

Enjoy the show tonight and here is the tentative schedule for the rest of the week:

Recap (Late Wed. or Thurs.)
Analysis (Thurs./Fri.)
History Lesson (Fri./Sat.)
