It is the main reason that NBC is losing the ratings war. No one really watches NBC, they have the Apprentice and 15 spin offs of Law and Order, why would anyone tune in? The Contender was THE reason I watched NBC on Sunday Nights. What they needed to do was more promoting of the show. If it was such a bust, why the hell did Ceasars Palace sell out in 5 minutes and people pay thousands (YES THOUSANDS) of dollars on Ebay for tickets? NBC needs to listen to their audience, they give up too easy. They think they don't have to invest anything in their shows, they should be immediate hits. And who the hell are these Neilson people if Neilson is reporting 10 million viewers, then you can times that by ten, because NO ONE I know is a neilson family, if they even exist!We need to bombard them with emails and petitions!
