When I first heard about the new contest being created by Mark Burnett, the guy behind Survivor and The Apprentice, I thought that The Contender was going to suck.
I didn’t watch the first episode of it, but heard a lot of good things about it on the radio the next day. Intrigued, I decided to watch the second fight. That’s all it took, and I was hooked. This show kicked ass.
Last night was the season finally, live from Las Vegas, NV. The two televised fights were great. Though my pick didn’t make it to the final match, or even win his bout that night, it was still very enjoyable.
Congratulations to Sergio for becoming the first contender.
Now word yet if we’ll get a Contender 2, I’m hoping there is one.
