WITH SPECIAL APPEARANCES FROM CLUBBER LANG, SONNY CORLEONE AND DENNYCRANE: Episode 3 of The Contender? Even better than the first two. Reality tv stripped of all the superfluousness of "was this challenge rigged?" and "too much bunching!" and the strategery down to the bare essentials of competition: two men, five rounds of boxing, one man wins.

Between a surprisingly moving Reward and a classic Burnett edit that stacks the deck brilliantly, I'm telling you, this is the episode that will suck you in and make you forgive them for screwing up a game of dodgeball in the process. It reairs on CNBC all week long, and I urge you to watch.
