nutsonurse 1 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "American Cancer Society Spokesperson" 03-11-05, 04:38 PM (EST) "a woman now obessed with boxing" Hi all, I am new here, just wanted to know how many women are now invested in this show??? I might actually start watching HBO fights again....had lost all sense of conection and caring for the boxers before this show. But, now I must admit, I'm hooked, in both the winners and the losers, and can't wait for the next episode. I feel like I actually watch a fight(sorta>, compared to 3 rounds of dancing. Anyone else feel the same way? (by the way....as a girl...Ishe is quite clever in playing the game!) The Nutty Nurse   Top

I too hate watching two grown men dance in ring. There are some women here I seen one that calls herself the little troll something she is nice. I too love this show. One of the best reality shows I have seen and followed with anticipation up till now   Top

"RE: a woman now obessed with boxing" I never liked boxing because it was way to "gory" (was more of figure skating kind of gal) -- but then I saw Million Dollar Baby and learned more about the intricacies and goals and dreams of the boxers... I'm HOOKED, and I go to my friend's house to watch The Contender with her... and we're both over 40 ;) Madley   Top

I am a woman ... and I am also "nutz", but not a nurse. I am professor! I used to watch boxing all the time, but lost interest for quite awhile and now this show is making it exciting to me again. I also think Ishe is doing great at getting "in their heads". The Nutty Professor   Top

I can't believe it either. I was "made" to watch the first episode, and now I genuinely want to know what's going to happen next. The West is definitely my favorite and I really like Ishe, but we'll see with time what happens.   Top

LakerLuv 151 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Blistex Spokesperson" 03-14-05, 11:22 AM (EST) 4. "RE: a woman now obessed with boxing" I am a woman and I'm really enjoying this show. I used to be a big boxing fan (back in Tyson's prime) but I stopped following the sport after I realized how corrupt the sport is. This show, brings back my interest, and I may start watching boxing again. This is a fantastic reality show!   Top

Superbad 98 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Hollywood Squares Square" 03-15-05, 03:42 AM (EST) 5. "RE: a woman now obessed with boxing" Welcome to the beautiful sport of professional boxing!!! We are glad to have you! I'm glad you see the sacrifices that are made and the amount of heart and hope that is put in this endeavor. Woman actually love it also because they see the strategy involved. As one who has been in the ring, the best way to decribe it is it's like "playing chess with boxing gloves." There is so much deep strategy involved you would not believe. Fighters are usually thinking three or four steps ahead, at the minimum. Setting this up, setting that up... This is not just two men thoughtlessly pummeling each other. There is real skill and thinking involved on a very high level. The smart, elite fighters, the ones who stay on top are comparable to the Gary Kasparovs of the world. As Saoul Mamby, former junior-welterweight champion of the world (140 lbs.), said about the sport: "The strong will always beat the weak, but the smart will always beat the strong." Look at a toughman competition and a professional boxing match and you will quickly see the difference. Okay, I've digressed. The boxing community is happy to have you!   Top

KObrien_fan 8360 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 03-15-05, 07:35 AM (EST) 6. "RE: a woman now obessed with boxing" I too have never liked boxing before. I have always loved sports and though I watched a few boxing matches in the past, it just never did anything for me. I gave the Contender a shot because I like Mark Burnett and his other shows. You know what, I like the boxing I have seen on this show so far. I'm not sure if it is the personal build up behind each story that makes the matches themselves so compelling, but I am guessing that is the case. I feel more vested in the interest of the outcome. I'm sold, I will continue to watch this show and look forward to each match!   Top

"RE: a woman now obessed with boxing" I have never watched a boxing match before, but I am loving this show. The family aspect is making it hard for me to root for antone in the matches; it's very heart-wrenching. By the way, did the coming attractions for next week say someone is coming back?? I thought I sae that....   Top

AyaK 10426 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 03-18-05, 11:23 AM (EST) 14. "Yes" Someone is coming back, due to a wrist injury suffered by one of the people still in the game. We discuss it in this thread: http://community.realitytvworld.com/boards/DCForumID85/38.shtml   Top

"RE: a woman now obessed with boxing" It seems we have more females here then I anticipated. That makes me happy I greet you and welcome you. The show really needs a wider audience. We need to keep watching the show and keep hope alive   Top

Superbad 98 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Hollywood Squares Square" 03-15-05, 11:49 AM (EST) 9. "RE: a woman now obessed with boxing" My thoughts exactly. It hasn't gotten the ratings yet, for some strange reason. I thought it'd be doing a lot better now. Hopefully, by word of mouth, it'll catch on... I'd hate to see it scrapped like "The Next Great Champ" and relegated to MSNBC, the FoxNet equivalent. This would be a damn shame. This is too good a show. The sport of boxing reeally needs this.   Top

WildFlower 10 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Got Milk? Spokesperson" 03-16-05, 12:55 PM (EST) 10. "RE: a woman now obessed with boxing" Hi I am new here to and a woman. I am in love with this show. When I first saw the previews I wasn't impressed and wasn't going to watch it. Well I got talked into watching and yep i'm hooked. I have my favorites, I get into the fights, especially Ishe and Ahmed (thank gawd hes gone) that was a great fight. How great would it be to be able to go to the live finale?   Top

thecontender 136 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Blistex Spokesperson" 03-16-05, 01:20 PM (EST) 11. "RE: a woman now obessed with boxing" LAST EDITED ON 03-16-05 AT 01:24 PM (EST) Ooopps where are my manners? I edited this post only becuase my rude azz should of said hello and greeted our new guests visitors and contender fans to the forum first Welcome I went out last nite then some friends decided to go out and eat. We invited more people. We ate, we drank, we chatted. The conversation turned from work to our children and then the sports our kids were into. Wouldnt you know it, one of the couples I least expected said: We were thinking of putting our boy in boxing. Then they said that they were watching the contender and the conversation stuck on the contender for much time. We laughed HARD. We talked about all the things we talk about here. What realy got me is that more people are watching the show than I imagined. I just thought I would share this little bit of news with you folks here on the forum. What up wit' da' ratings? Gotta go....   Top

aliemme 12 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Got Milk? Spokesperson" 03-18-05, 02:26 AM (EST) 12. "RE: a woman now obessed with boxing" I like the show too, though I'm not a big fan of boxing. I've watched the odd few fights cuz everyone else was and didn't want to be left out. I think the family bits really humanize the boxers and make it more interesting for those who aren't huge boxing fans. I will try to keep watching but I don't know about the new time? Is it on 7 or 8 on sundays? 8 would not be good because there are a lot of good shows on at that time. P.S. To the ladies- Who is your favourite? I like Joey and Ishe. I think Ishe will go far and Peter will probably win it or go far. Why else would they bring him back?   Top

kary1371 631 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Reality Show Commentator" 03-18-05, 12:23 PM (EST) 15. "RE: a woman now obessed with boxing" I am a woman too, I watch the first episode because it was a Mark Burnett show and I normally like his shows and decided to give this one a shot too. I got hooked. I normally don't watch boxing, but I really like the concept of this. As for the ratings, if the show can stick with one night (first 3 shows were different nights of the week!) maybe the show will get it's followers... though, against Extreme Makeover : Home Edition was a tough spot to be in... As Sly I am always for the underdog, who knows!!!   Top
