TUF tv contract extended two more seasons

It seems that the UFC and SpikeTV have extended their contract for the Ultimate Fighter from 12 seasons to 14 seasons. I guess Spike is happy with the current ratings. From MMAjunkie:

The existing deal, announced in October 2007, called for 12 seasons of the show.

"We actually just did an extension with [Spike TV]," White said. "We're going to be doing through (season) 14, two seasons a year.

"They're good partners. We work really well together, and they let me do what I do."

I guess Mama Junie had two more babies.

If you see Mark Coleman in person, drop $5 on the floor and watch the fun as he tries in vain to bend down and pick it up.

I enjoy the show

Not sure why people get so upset about it. Its not directly aimed at the die hards who tend to complain about everything.

A lot of people have been saying the ratings are tanking and the show is done yet Spike thinks enough of the ratings to not only keep it on the air but to also extend their contract two more seasons. It seems TUF is healthy and doing fine as far as Spike is concerned.
