As much as I hope that Miguel will end up fighting as one of the fan favs, I figure he won't have many votes because he didn't get enough camera time for people to get to know him and want to see more of him. After watching Mark Burnett's other shows, (Survivor, Apprentice) I knew from the the first few episodes that Manfredo and Mora would in all liklihood be the ones to make it to the final match in Vegas...they were given so much camera time, not only in their training but also in showing their family life, so that we will WANT them to be the final 2. It's almost as if by looking at the amount of time that was spent showing us the human sides of the boxers, you could predict who would make it to the 2nd and 3rd rounds. That's why I figured Miguel (much as I wanted him to move on because he was one of the most physically fit athletes there)would most likely not get past his first round fight, same with Tarrick, Juan, (OK, Juan DID win his first round, but wimped out like a total weinie cuz he hurt.....poor baby) etc. The exception to that was with Jonathan, but because (and no offense to any Reid fans) my hairbrush has more personality than he does, I figured he wouldn't move on either, and was not worried that when given the chance, he'd be one of the boxers to return to fill the place of one of the few (jeff, juan, etc) open spots. Although they show it being a voting situation when the had to bring a boxer back, I really believe that had the majority voted for Jonathan to come back, somehow he likely would have become medically ineligible suddnely. I know all the guys talked about this being their one chance to make it to the "big time" legitimately, without shady dealings with promoters and such, but this IS a reality show after all, where ratings are key to the success of the show itself, regardless of there being a $1 million dollar price tag attached. That's why I'd be even more shocked if someone like Joey, Bonsante or "Babyface" were not brought to fight as 3 of the fan favorites. They may not have the best boxing techniques, or have the amount of fights won, either by points or KO's... but Joey had the brains to come up with schemes to further himself in the competition, causing distrust and suspicion among the remaining boxers, Anthony had the balls to change his agreed upon opponent at the last minute, again causing mistrust among the other boxers, and for some even downright hatred of his decision, and "Babyface" has the attitude that makes viewers love to hate him. But even under the pretense of this show being all about boxing, we need to remember that this is first and foremost just another reality show to make money for Mark Burnett. Funny though....even after breaking down the way his shows are edited to figure out what might happen each week (not to mention reading the spoiler forums to find out the insider info) I still LOVE all of the reality shows Burnett creates! And I'm still hoping against all odds that Miguel makes it as one of the fan favs....as unlikely as that may be.
