Anyone watch it tonight? It was really good, only problem I had with it was that they milked the whole anticipation for the fight in the end a bit too much - but thats just because it was the 1 hour and 30min premiere, Nice fight.

TKO!: NBC 'CONTENDER' -- MOST EXPENSIVE REALITY SHOW EVER PRODUCED -- CRASHES AND BURNS IN DEBUT, FINISHING LAST IN TIME SLOT; BOXING COMP HITS MAT WITH WEAK 5.6 RATING/8 SHARE

I wonder how many eps NBC is locked into before they can ship it off to Bravo to die?

Ackbar had his ass handed to him, cocky fuck.

Si' he got what was coming to him, I totally thought he was gonna win though. He seemed physically more fit and alot quicker - but he's completely stupid. Like right when the bell rang he just through a bunch of punches like crazy, that wore him out.

Once he started the fist of fury, I thought he had the fight for sure.

But yeah, he tired himself out and was too busy putting on a show. His girl was pretty slutty though. Nice. =D>

Si' very

Wow, another great fight. It was close for me but I figured since he killed himself, he probably lost. And he did. What an idiot.

The chicken pox twist was nice.

I wish they brought back the other guy, the black dude. I dont really like the twist though, the guy lost, why should he get another chance, atleast he should've been the one fighting yesterday.

I assumed he would have to fight again right away. It was unfair to everyone else that he got a 2nd chance.

He better not win it all, that would suck.

HOLY SHIT, he got beat the fuck up.

The love for Jesus just isn't as strong as the love for your kids I guess.

I love how everyone is all pissed at that Anthony guy becuase he " betrayed " them by picking a different guy, especially that one black guy on the west team, who I guess forgot chickened out of fighting that one guy who he finally fought the week after. I want this Anthony guy to win it all now, he really doesnt give a shit about what others think of his decisions, only cares about himself and his family. He wooped the shit out of jesus freak, who I guess thought god would do all the work for him.

The oddest thing was all the hugging and touching at the bar. I thought I almost tuned into the wrong channel for a moment. It seemed very aggressively gay. But if you live in a house with a bunch of sweaty men working on their bodies all day and having conversations in the shower, shit happens.

It's a shame this show has gotten such low ratings, since I'm now hooked on it. Last nights episode was pretty good, and I agree with you Killuminati about Ishe getting all pissed off at Anthony. Guess his memory doesn't go too far back from getting punched in the head too many times... Even though I'm not sure he completely sure if he deserves it after coming back, I really want Peter to win. He's a great guy and a really great fighter.

Gawd, another person leaves and another person gets a freebie, and from the next episode preview it looks like the guy Ishe wooped on, cant belive they're bring back that douche.

I'm seriously thinking about starting to watch this show. How far along is it? Is it worth watching?

The fights are very impressive, that alone is worth watching the show. Theres only 8 people still in and they're moving on to the next round, next week theres gonna be two fights instead of one.

Ishe's fight was pretty good, I'm surprised he lost.

Ahmed needs to hang it up following his lost. He isn't cut out for boxing. It was nice to see his lady again though. :razz:

There's much more strategy in this game than I expected.

Yup, the Ishe and Sergio fight was good.

Ahmed just sucks, I dont get how he has such a good record, he thinks too much of himself, I thought after he lost he would keep on saying how he's still the champion yada yada yada. Its just funny seeing him bad mouth Alfonso and say he's " Done " if he loses to him. I'd bet that female of his is long gone now. It was too funny when Ahmed got his dance on when he won just ONE freakin round.

This is how I think it'll go

Joey vs Peter
Winner: Peter

Jesse vs Anthony
Winer: Anthony

SemiFinals
Anthony vs Peter
Winner: Anthony

Alfonso vs Sergio
Winner: Sergio

Finals
Sergio vs Anthony
Winner: Anthony

Anthony just has these hard ass punches and just one of them will take his opponent into la la land

I got the first fight right, I think Anthony might KO Jesse this week.

Other way around eh?

Anthony was a friggin moron, he had the fight won all he had to do was not get knocked out. Fool.

"Look at me. Daddy's OK, but Daddy's a dumbass."


This show is honestly the best reality TV to come out since survivor.

I agree, it's too bad that probably won't be back next season. People don't know what they're missing. Anyways, how do you think the rest of the fights will go guys? I'm thinking

Sergio vs. Alfonso
WINNER: Alfonso

Peter vs. Jessie
WINNER: Peter

Then we'll get the Alfonso/Peter rematch. Although, I don't think Alfonso would be guarenteed a win. Peter's back with a vengeance.

Jessie is really, uh strange.

Glad to see Anthony get knocked out, I didn't like him.

Yeah, Anthony was a retard, he had that won he just needed to back off a bit. Im pretty sure Alfonso will go up against Peter next, i'd give it to Alfonso, that would be great if he takes it all, he's like the little engine that could

This is the best reality tv show on tv right now, it sucks that boxing is such a hard sell these days, nobody really cares about it.

I think it will be back next season ... my only quip is I wish they showed more than 20 seconds of each round.
