The Contender

I was very skeptical about this show given Sly Stallone's involvement and it has taken a few episodes to warm up to it. Although I am still annoyed by the bizarre editing during the actual boxing I find the show pretty emotional.

The unique thing about this reality show is the contestants have one common trait. They are poor. And many of them have families that they are attempting to support being a no-name boxer. If they lose duiring the show the loss is officially put on there record..so not only do then not win, they end up worse off than when they started.

When a fighters loses and is eliminated I feel quite bad for them since this truely is there only shot in life. You can really see this in the emotion from them.

Not a bad show but Eco-Challege is still Burnett's greatest creation.
