I'm not sure why ...

... but I'm really loving "The Contender" on TV at the moment.

I'm not normally the kind of person who enjoys watching two men beat the crap out of each other. And I have to admit that it amuses the hell out of me to hear these men tell us (accompanied by the obligatory soulful background music) that they are really just nice guys who want to make a better life for their children (so sure, invite the kids along ringside and let them watch their daddies being beaten to a pulp) ...

So, in spite of the above, I'm not sure what it is ... but somehow I'm hooked.

I started getting hooked and then I thought "NO! I don't want to be sad when the man with the cute kids gets punted!" so I cut myself off.

Did you get your interview questions?

Yep, got the questions ... am trying to achieve just the right balance between deep and meaningful and off the cuff flippant in my answers :)

We dont get it here.
Yes Rach
New Zealand ahead in some areas.
We will still win the Bledisloe Cup though.

Treating the rugby comment with the contempt it deserves ...

TC is kinda like Survivor ... with boxing. It's yet another Mark Burnett production, so the similarity is not entirely surprising. Sly Stallone and Sugar Ray Leonard are the guys in charge - two teams compete in a challenge ... whoever loses picks a fighter, they get to choose who they fight from the other team ... the loser goes home.
