anyone catch the first episode of the contendor?

i had taped it and just watched it tonight. i didnt know what to expect but i think it was much better then i expected.

 

I saw an episode, I guess it was the first... I thought it was kind of boring..

 

yeah it was the only one so far. but yeah, i loved it when the underdog took out the undefeated... third in the world champion.

has a true rookie and took a risk. i loved that.

boxing looks like fun. but, um, id want to box with an inexperienced girl.. not them.

 

Just watched a recording of it, and I have to say it was excellent!! One of the best things I have seen on tv for a long time. The biggest problem with it, that may end up being its downfall is its horrible timeslot!

 

im gonna watch the second episode tonight.

we taped it. i cant wait.

 

That one guy commited suicide last month.........

 

Has anyone heard about the 5 millon dollar bet between The Contender and The Ultimate Fighter. I liked the show but i was not impressed with the way they edited the fights. It looked to much like a rocky movie with the slow motion and the old 80's music.

 

which guy?

 

um......I don't know his name. A young African Amercian man (who is on the show) 23 yrs old. He left behind a wife and a daughter I think....it was all over the news just last month. I think he shot himself. They didn't take him out of the show though.

 

oh geez. that is so sad. i hate it when people do that. so selfish but i feel for the person too cause ive been there.

um, there is an episode on tonight and ill try to figure out who it is.
