It's okay that no one else in my e-World watches The Contender and can rejoice with me in the fact that there are 4 semi-finalists to be happy about. The problem is that you can only be both happy and sad at the outcome of each match from here on...with the exception of the "fan favorite," since we don't know who actually will be chosen.
I was happy that Jesse won last night, primarily because I do like having such dead sexy eye candy gracing my TV screen on Sunday evenings. Those of you in the know will realize that he bears a certain resemblance to a certain person, and that my appreciation is somewhat sentimental. But he does bring the hot to the show, and for that we are ever so grateful. Particularly if the hot man in question loves his family.
My favorite part of the show last night: when he was clutching his little girl's tiara in his gloves when he walked out after being introduced, and then handed her little crown to her. Everyone say "awwww!" with me.
Not so great: the tightey whiteys of his that seem to be all over the Y@h00 extra footage. Get this man some boxer briefs, people.
My second favorite moment in last night's show was Alfonso was dancing in the gym. Not a fan of the sunglasses-in-pictures look, but if you click around the site, you will fine that the boy is button-cute, with a great story and a personality. I like this one, he makes me smile. Let's go salsa dancing, kid!
Conan's favorite is Peter, (or "Pee-TAH," as he calls himself). Conan likes that he is humble and low key. He also thinks Peter's wife is hot (she is), and that their daughter is cute (ditto).
I think that Sergio is great, but more importantly, he has good taste in women seeing as his very-pretty girlfriend is a law student. And we do enjoy his informed commentary.
Last night's episode was the usual good fare. I'm not sure if it's the editing, but Anthony's constant "look at me/I'm a dad/I'm doing this for my kids" theme was a little old. Lots of the contestants are fathers, and they are all doing it for their families. But I don't see anyone else toting their pictures of their kids to the press conferences. It's hard to tell from the editing, but he sorta fights dirty and I'm not sure his technique is all that great. His mom rocked, though. I liked her. But I'm glad that Jesse won. So please, if you have any inclination to curl up on Sunday nights and watch a little boxing mixed in with a lot of personal stories, come join me.
