American Gladiators

What irks me is that my favorite event from the original series, Assault, doesn't get much attention in the new series and, when it does, the results are underwhelming.

I saw some of it last night. One of the female contestant got so wound up, she couldn't shot the ball with the sling and aim the launcher backward. it cracked me up because she still got the points. Then this other lady got her daughter in the stand hold up the sign, "I :heart: you mommy". Then she got knock into the water within 5 sec of the contest. Pan to the daughter, utter devastated expression on her face. Pan to the gladiator doing the happy dance. It was priceless.

Pan to mother consoling daughter by saying "It was fun." LOL.

This show supposedly has a "broadcast flag" on it that supposedly stops Windows Vista Media Center from recording it... can anyone confirm that?

I'm currently recording it with Vista Media Center.

I watched some of it last night while cleaning the kitchen. I had to fast forward through some of the parts with the amputee. I don't know why they had him on. Ok, it made for a somewhat inspirational story but the poor guy was at such a disadvantage on the majority of the events that it was painful to watch. Wolf was able to climb up right next to him on the wall climb without really trying hard and yank him down.

The new female gladiators Jet and Phoenix were hot though.

The little rock climber guy that won season 1 is back as Rocket.

Jet and Phoenix are definitely hawt!!!

Crush > Jet/Phoenix

It always seems like the bigger, buffer guys always have a hard time finishing. I guess they look fit (due the buffness), but they don't have enough stamina.

"Rocket", the male winner from last year, tore through that shit and he was tiny at the time.

I can't watch this new series. I loved the old one though. And it always seems that the smaller guys do much better. Big muscular guys just aren't as flexible or athletic in general. Not too mention they have worse stamina b/c they need more oxygen so they usually gas out sooner.

Which one is Gina Carano again? Crush? She has a MMA fight coming up too. She used to be really hot but is getting a bit chunky trunks. I wouldn't kick her out of bed for eating crackers though....probably b/c I couldn't or she'd kick my ass.
