What Did You Think Of The Contender Season 1?

[Perfect Plex]

Did you like it? Hard to belive it was 5 years ago.

Or did you find it to cheesy & over the top?

I found the show to be cheesy, no knock on people who like it I just felt there was too much in the “drama” department.

[*OG Wenger*]

why did sly stop presenting it after season 1? i thought ray leonard was a boring host....

[Kimo]

There indeed a little too much drama. Every ****er there had to 'fight for their family bla bla bla' it needed more bad-asses and more trash talk.

[-PANDA-]

it made many of my friends appreciate the sport so it was great imo

rewatching it panda will probably appreciate less

[Earl-Hickey]

It was alright, but way over-dramatised.

I could of done without the slow-mo replays, sound effects and "gladiator" style music

Also a lot of the participants that have gone on to be decent fighters (mora, Smith, Forbes) are still labelled by the "reality show" tag

[Pu$$yKiller]

I really enjoyed it.

I like 24/7, 360 and that show because of the behind the scenes.

Some of it was too TV, but then it's still boxing and better than other shows.

[Black-Panther]

It was cheese but better than 90% of the other rubbish they put on TV here.

[Bigdaddy_Vh]

the production was cheesy but it produced a few decent middle tier contenders and some compelling back stories. The story that followed Naji Turpin after his exit was really sad.

on a side note, does anyone know if Naji was any relation to Randy Turpin?

Dope ass show, the challenges were corny though
