reality on tv

okay, i am officially a reality-tv addict. before, i used to free-up my sundays or at least schedule whatever after 9pm just to be able to catch survivor. then there was this period when i'd go home early on a wednesday to watch the amazing race. and who hasn't gone gaga (okay, the adjective is a little too much, i know) over american idol. but now, i have yet another show to fill one of my many lonely nights...the contender premiered last night on axn.

the show is a boxing reality show focusing on what else? boxing. barbaric as it may seem (seeing as how i was never the type to resolve to violence...verbal, maybe. physical, never!), i can't help but watch as the characters deal with the most powerful human emotion..."love and passion." the boxers, who are actually professional middleweights talk of their reasons for putting their body on harm's way to earn a million and it all boil down to one thing...love. one talks of how he wants to provide a better life for his kid or help out his parents or send siblings to college, the love and passion was there all the same. something so raw...that you can't help but feel for them.

but then again, some things are worth fighting for.
