they mentioned something about wanting to show what actual probies would be like this season. the last one ended up being a main character and comic relief so they wanted to show how real probies are basically second class citizens that just handle shit for the club, no questions asked like you said. i didnt like them at first but i agree...it worked. although its hard to imagine those two guys, in particular, as anything but probies.

one thing i did like about the one that died was how he was always down for whatever...if they told him to knock someone out he would without hesitation...he was bout it for a lil dude. i wish they would've just patched him in and let him stay on the show.
