Ok, I can't sit through anymore of this ... it was pretty bad IMO. I was thinking watching some replays that it was pretty corny, but the new one takes the cornbread.

Yah, there's a few attractive gladiators, but still ... it's REALLY bad. I can look at their pictures on the net instead of watching the show ...

Oh, it's always been horrendously cheesy. That's part of the charm. It's all about the bodies and the wacky competitions.

I just started watching it from the beginning. Had it recorded on my DVR.

Yeah, I always thought you used to get penalized for falling off obstacles but it doesn't seem like they do that anymore. Seems like on things like the hand bike it would be better just to fall, save the arm strength, and be a bit quicker.

No, it's not part of the charm. I was watching the "new" q-tip battle and it was just so bad, they hit so softly, whereas in the first one where they put the ball in the barrel, they were trying to hurt the other person, freakin ridiculous.
