The Contender
Episode 2 - 03.10.05
Brinkley vs Reid
Wow! What an episode right? It just keeps getting better and better. The drama is barely unfolding and we only in the second episode. I was so glad to be the first one with a banner displaying my face and the first one to get the 'Golden Gloves' signifying I was in the Final 8.
It was amazing meeting George Foreman. I never realized how HUGE he is. He is so gentleman like and has a good heart. His hamburgers were great and that house we were in was beautiful.
Let me tell you what started off Ishe and Jesse's drama. Apparently we all had 'agreed' that if we won the challenge Ishe was going to call out Ahmed. Therefore, on our Reward with George Foreman, Jesse stuffed himself with hamburgers and hotdogs and soda and everything he could find, while Ishe had little water and a hamburger without the bun because he wanted to keep the weight. After we won the challenge and we went back to the locker room, Ishe pulled out and Jesse stepped up. After he called out Jonathan Reid, Jesse went to weight himself and was about 7 lbs over because of what he had eaten on our reward. So he spent all day until midnight sweating losing the weight. And that's what got Jesse pissed off.
Aside from that, everything was great. We were so excited that Jesse won but at the same time sad for Jonathan. He knew he has almost 5 kids and this was his shot to provide them with a better future. Jesse is a guy with a great heart and gave his fight purse to Jonathan so he could take his kids and wife to Disneyland.
