The Contender
Episode 8 - 04.17.05
Gilbert vs Lange
Man oh man oh manup until this episode, I thought Gomez vs. Manfredo Jr. was the best episode (and not because Im in itheehe) but now.whos the hero! Joey Gilbert!

Well, Im going to begin by saying that once again, the Westside was bored in the house. The Eastside got another reward. When they came back they bragged about riding a helicopter over LA and they were so excited. But I think they were doing it on purpose because the week before we got to hang out with JA RULE!!! Heheheh

The day that Anthony decided to fight Brent, Jimmy was pissed off all day long. I told him not to worry and that better things might come. That same night, Jimmy spoke to his dad on the phone and said that he was on his way to California and was going to be able to see Jimmy fight. So by Anthony pulling out, it gave Jimmys dad a chance to see his son fight so it worked for the best.

I was rooting for both Jimmy and Joey. Joey because he was the underdog and because he was a Westsider! I was also rooting for Jimmy because I got a lot of respect for him after an incident a few days back. When we were going to the Medicine Ball Challenge I put $100 dollars in my pocket incase I had to opportunity to purchase a walk-man to listen to music while I ran. Well, I lost the 100 bucks and asked everyone body. When we came back to the loft I was sitting talking to some of the guys about my lost money and Jimmy said You lost 100 bucks? Where? Was it in 20s or a one bill? and I told him I lost it before the challenge. He said he found it and gave it to me. I mean, maybe to many of you 100 bucks aint nothing.but to me $100 is $100. And Jimmy could have kept them, but he is a true gentleman and an honest human being.

During the fight we were all excited to see Joey be the Gladiator he is. It was a really close fight but at the end Joey seem to want it more. I am very sad to know that Juan got injured but more sad that he quit.

Vegas was awesome! We got celebrity treatment from the moment we stepped on the plane. We each got a suite for ourselves. It had a living room full of Roman decorations and a big TV. It also had a bathroom with a Jacuzzi. Everything was painted gold and it had mirror all over the place. It also had a room with mirrors all over the place and another Jacuzzi in the bedroom. It was beautiful. We also got $1000 dollars to spend and I actually won..hehehe I came back home with $2,300, so Sergio wasnt the only lucky one. =)

To Sergio: Ahora si vas a disfrutar de tu troca cabrooon!

To Juan: Come on man! My cut was bigger and I didnt quit! Joey was hurt and he didnt quit! Brent was knocked out on his feet and still didnt quit! I hope you come back and show me and the world that you are not a quitter! Viva Mexico!

To Jimmy: It wasnt your day Jimmy but I know life will compensate you, because you are an honorable man. God bless you!

To Joey: You are my hero man!
