Review: The Contender 104 – 116
With the end of the series (as in, too expensive ($2 million per ep, highest ever for a “reality” show) for the current ratings to try it again for another season), it proved interesting and testosterone buffed enough to last till the end ($1 million fight after eliminating 14 fighters during its run). Mark Burnett’s reality TV producing skills are a given, and the boxing takes care of the rest. It’s not the creme de la creme of entertainment (it was moderately entertaining), but I might even watch a second season if there was one.
