The 2001 film Series 7: The Contenders, written and directed by Daniel Minahan, is a dark and violent satire of American Reality Shows.The Contenders offers a unique form of entertainment for its loyal viewers: the show's contestants must kill each other until only one "Contender" remains standing. The contestants have no choice as to whether they want to compete; the moment a contestant is notified that they've become a Contender, any other Contender can kill them without legal repercussions. Adding insult to injury is the fact that winning the show once doesn't get a Contender anything but a longer lease on life; a full release from the show only happens when a Contender wins the "contest" three times in a row (as the winner remains a Contender until either death or the third victory). In the show's seventh season (or "series" in British terminology), two-time champion Dawn Lagarto hopes to gain her freedom; to do so, she must outlive five other Contenders — one of which, the terminally-ill Jeffrey Norman, happens to have had a prior romantic relationship with Dawn. | |

Chekhov's Safety Catch/Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Lindsay's parents constantly tell her to leave the safety on. Lindsay's fumbling to switch it off during an encounter with Franklin gives him more than enough time to kill her. | |

Unreliable Voiceover | |
| Series 7: The Contenders / int_4fc6385e | comment |
Unreliable Voiceover: The narrator (played by Will Arnett) makes a cameo onscreen at the climax. What he says doesn't always match up with what happens on-screen. The "dramatization" scenes also appear dishonest (and potentially faked). In the case of the cinema standoff, the dramatization is absolutely faked, which both the movie's alternate ending and the lack of a gunshot wound on Jeffrey during the Series 8 preview confirms. The show says it picks contestants via a random lottery. That claim becomes suspicious when Dawn's third go-round takes place in her hometown and her old boyfriend becomes one of the other Contenders. As Tony tries to flee the town with his baby and in the immediate aftermath, the voiceover outright contradicts events depicted on screen. A number of reviewers admitted that they accepted the voiceover version the first time they watched the film, only to be prompted to rewatch and pay attention by the ending. | |

Revised Ending | |
| Series 7: The Contenders / int_d51158ee | comment |
Revised Ending: The film contains a canonical version of this trope. Series 7 ends with a "dramatic recreation" of the cinema standoff: Jeffrey agrees to let Dawn kill him, but Jeffrey's wife appears and kills Dawn before she can do the deed, at which point a distraught Jeffrey shoots himself. In reality, Dawn and Jeffrey were beaten (Dawn fatally so) by fans enraged at the pair's attempt to drop their guns and flee the cinema — but the Contenders producers couldn't (and wouldn't) air that. | |

Hand Wave | |
| Series 7: The Contenders / int_dbb414ed | comment |
Hand Wave: Numerous background details, such as how The Contenders became powerful enough to clear legally-sanctioned murder as a form of television programming, never receive an explanation. This works in part because the film only shows you what the program itself would have aired on TV — in other words, only what the producers want viewers to see. | |

Mama Bear | |
| Series 7: The Contenders / int_e13156e1 | comment |
Mama Bear: Dawn insists she's only competing to protect her unborn child. On the other hand, she's a really efficient killer... Also invoked when the show takes away her child per the game's rules — she gets pissed enough to kidnap her cameraman and hold an entire cinema full of people hostage. Lindsey's mother also shows helps prepare her daughter while showing grief and protectiveness at her being selected in the first place, and stands up to her husband when he berates Lindsey for being unable to kill Franklin. | |

Anti-Climax | |
| Series 7: The Contenders / int_eeb4a5eb | comment |
Anti-Climax: What really happened in the cinema? According to the alternate ending on the DVD, Dawn and Jeffrey drop their guns and try to flee the cinema. They end up beaten by fans who aren't happy with the standoff's anti-climax. Dawn dies as a result of her beating, but Jeffrey survives — hence the lack of a bullet wound when he's shown in the hospital during the preview for Series 8. | |
