The Official Bloodyknux Contender thread

Zeffryn · 03-07-2005, 01:31 PM

The contender is a new reality show, premiering tonight on NBC (ch. 11). Hosted by Sylvester Stallone and Sugar Ray Leonard.

The show has gotten really good ratings so far and is expected to do as good, or better than TUF..probably because it is on a national major network.

Anyway...thoughts?

**elgigante** · 03-07-2005, 02:17 PM

It cant be any worse than that show De La Hoya put on last summer. I hope they dont try to capitalize on that suicide of one of their contenders for some ratings boost.

That's a tough situation to be in. Because if you just leave the guy in the show and don't mention his death, it is kinda irresponsible. But if you mention it many say you are trying to capitalize off of his death. Kinda between a rock and a hard spot.

Just gotta try and mention it in a tasteful manner and not over-do it and hope people don't make too bi a stink about it.

Johnny Toetags · 03-08-2005, 01:06 AM

It's on at 9:30 peoples...

**elgigante** · 03-08-2005, 01:08 AM

shit i gotta hurry up then. im still at my radio studio putting some commercials in.someone give the jist of the first episode if possible

Johnny Toetags · 03-08-2005, 01:11 AM

I will. I hope they don't use the suicide as a cheap ratings ploy.... AND I hope they don't pull an Oscar De La Hoya and move the show due to low ratings.

Shaolin Bushido · 03-08-2005, 01:35 AM

Fuuu-uuuck! I just let this sorry bitch go to lunch(who just got to work). I'm gonna miss it BUT not TUF so it's all good.

Canario · 03-08-2005, 01:40 AM

Their desperate attempt to make us cry in the opening minutes has somewhat turned me off.

good point, seeing Najai Turpin's family though, that cuts deep knowing what happens. Hmmm... let's see where they go from here. Got a decent looking buncha guys, familly men, yade yade ya...

Johnny Toetags · 03-08-2005, 01:43 AM

Fuck I hope Ol' Mush-Mouth's not the voice-over guy or I'm gonna miss alot of plot points.

Canario · 03-08-2005, 01:51 AM

This show needs less family and more Leben

Johnny Toetags · 03-08-2005, 01:57 AM

They're doing a good job now that they're in the gym already. Some good guys in there, I think they're doing a better job so far of introducing everyone than TUF did off the bat.

Johnny Toetags · 03-08-2005, 02:14 AM

Okay - so now they're ripping off TUF's log stunt. Why can't these shows focus their stunts on they're god damn sports. Anyways, West team wons - but Ishe almost cost them, blowing his load early. If Akbar or Akhmed or whatever remembered his code East would've won by a long shot.

CROKICK · 03-08-2005, 02:14 AM

Ishe Smith should make it pretty far. He is a world class type of guy.

Canario · 03-08-2005, 02:17 AM

I stopped taking amateur boxing lessons because I just couldn't remember the damn combination to the locks.

**elgigante** · 03-08-2005, 02:29 AM

Manfredo is a winner regardless in my eyes for having a fine piece of ass to come home too. God damn that sista is fine as shit

Dredd · 03-08-2005, 02:30 AM

Beats me to the punch again. Your a quick thinker.

I'm stolked for this show, should be very good.

But I am also disappointed they moved Las Vegas tonight.

Oh well I guess I can survive.

**elgigante** · 03-08-2005, 02:41 AM

This Gomez kid is good

**elgigante** · 03-08-2005, 02:43 AM

Round 2 to Manfredo from what i saw

Johnny Toetags · 03-08-2005, 02:52 AM

Gomez wins this one, had a feeling and I was right, though initialy I thought it was gonna be a murder.

Johnny Toetags · 03-08-2005, 02:52 AM

Man, if anything this show illustrates where MMA and Boxing stand in the spotlight. I mean these production values, this budget and the quality of these guys... I'm impressed.

**elgigante** · 03-08-2005, 02:54 AM

Gomez looked very sharp. Like CROKICK said he could have a nice future. I didnt realize the advancement level of some of these cats. They are fighting for minor belts already

CROKICK · 03-08-2005, 03:19 AM

Gomez looked very good. Manfredo is a good fighter and had an off night. I liked Gomez' jab and toughness. He was landing alot of punches and absorbed alot without really getting hurt.

Johnny Toetags · 03-08-2005, 03:19 AM

Yeah, definatly pro's I mean they got there, made weight earlu, fought on what the second day, no drinking, little controversy (Though Ishe and what'shisface getting it on and stealing the spotlight at the press conference was iffy.)? Overall they came across as professionals as compared to the TUF crew.

Dredd · 03-08-2005, 03:31 AM

Spoilers1ban!!!!

BADrew · 03-08-2005, 01:56 PM

Manfrdo is generally considered the best prospect here in NE, but I've been talking up Jeff Fraza long before this show started. He is a very good puncher.

Beorn O'Brophy · 03-08-2005, 04:17 PM

I missed it, dammit.

Oh well, there will be reruns...

**elgigante** · 03-11-2005, 02:08 AM

Episode 2 on now

**elgigante** · 03-11-2005, 02:16 AM

I would enjoy seeing a bout between Ishe Smith and ahmed Khattour due to their personal tensions

**elgigante** · 03-11-2005, 02:36 AM

So it is Brinkley vs Reid. Im liking Johnathons chances
