I don't think any of these were cheating. 1: I could guess he didn't go on it as hard to ensure he didn't hurt himself. 2: seemed more like a dismissal. 3: Seen some people willing to help out the other, I wouldn't call that cheating.
Not putting a round pommel on a broad sword is a detriment so it can't be considered cheating. For the Medieval sword of mystery, it's a broad sword with a double fuller and requires the large pommel for balance. Nielson took shorter strokes, but they were definitely full hits. Having a slight flexibility to the hand increases the impact due to additional rotational force. The last one, the Smith was just dumb for helping his competitor when he had a poorly forged blade.
What even is this video? You claim these are contestants that have cheated. First video isn't even of contestants, and the all-caps cheating consisted of a judge using like 90% of his strength instead of 100%. Second one is a guy getting a sword wrong and getting disqualified. Third one you claim is cheating but the judges were perfectly ok with it, as were the other contestants. Dude... Clickbait titles are not a good long term idea. A lot of people see this and will never come back to your channel ever again.
Despite falsely accusing all the judge and contestants of cheating, your narration sucks. Especially during the clip of the sword of mystery while they explained it origins. You didn't even try to paraphrase, you just repeated word for word what they said about the blade. Dogshit video
Not even going to bother to finish watching the video. After the first example, there's nothing to see that has anything to do with the title of this video.
Wow... what a colossal waste of time. Nothing here was cheating. Geezus... if a missed parameter is cheating then you could have highlighted about 50 of the episodes. If helping out your competitor is cheating, what do you call sportsmanship ? This was a serious stretch and click bait
if he was limp wristed it probably wouldn't have mattered because it broke the jaw even limp wristed. maybe he should have used something harder but i don't know how hard a jaw bone is. maybe the mystery sword is excaliber. what difference does it make if he cheated or not he didn't go to the next round
No story here. I wasted 15 minutes giving the video a chance to make a case which it did not. I should have read some comments first. Forged in Fire is a quality show unlike this video click baiting with "This is Stolen".
2 of the weakest contestants are both men, one a career Army man & the other a cop, many ladies have done 10X better! Desmond White, may be the funniest because of his bravado, the "tough army man" lasted an entire 6 hours! Scared off because he found bear poop! BAHAHA!
I've been around A LOT of people who have made off comments, tho I'm one of the worst in my group. That's due to me not following tried & true comments & phrases, 'm one to give them a twist or completely different meaning or 'take'. AAAAND that usually ends up in failure but a few do shine. SO... Doug did a rather good job at his way of making 'off' comments.
There was no cheating. You can't reasonably judge the 1st example as cheating. The 2nd one clearly missed the pommel parameter and the third, the guy was confident enough in his own blade to stop working and help a competitor. Has nothing to do with how his competitor performed.
Reason to lock someone up in these insane asylums in the 1800-1900 was "Suppressed M*sturbation" "Fever and Jealousy" "the war" "Laziness" "jealousy and religion" "NOVEL READING" ??? Now what if you told everyone that you found your house instead of "i own it". The government can clearly still force people out of their houses and claim it for them. At least the people have a minimal chance when claiming it their own. This whole video is just filled shallow superficial thinking, no critical thinking whatsoever. I think that the "tartaria" theory is a bit over the top in some areas. As someone interested in history with a critical systematic view on it, some things dont add up.
Neilson didn't cheat, if you actually watched the show you'd know he's been plagued by chronic wrist problems from doing knife tests exactly like this. If he did hold back a bit, maybe he just didn't want to re-injure his wrist. He's a master bladesmith, the knives you have to make to get that go through way worse testing than even the show blades do, he doesn't have to cheat.
