awesome koing!

a few questions for you.

1. were all of your lines scripted or written out for you?
2. are the gladiators real assholes or is that also scripted?
3. did the producers encourage you to talk trash?
4. did you become a mini-celebrity afterwards? do people recognize you on the streets?
5. are you a bigger hit with the ladies now?
6. did you use the same jousting stick as the other guy? if so, were you at a disadvantage since it got wet (heavier/slippery).

1) my lines from the show was me. They would try and guide me on the interview stuff where I am super imposed on the screen. They'd try and work me in this or that direction after my comments.

2) they aer all cool. They jack it up for the cameras

3) they encouraged us to give it large but I just acted my normal self. If it needs to be said I say it.

4) the other night 2 randoms in the street noticed I was on Gladiators and some guys that live near where I do notice haha! Funny and very flattering that people recognised me!

5) I have an awesome gf but people think it's cool that I managed to get on! The Algo Director thinks it's bad ass I got on and do does everyone else in the company. They know a few guys that tried but didn't get pass the first auditions

6) We used the same stick as the other guy. No adv/ or disadv. I was just crap at it. I'm a lover not a fighter :p, read glass jaw :(

I look bigger on tv how I imagine myself to be. It's probably due to the fact that I wear glasses so everything looks smaller.

Holy sh*t you have some grip strength, like a damned orangutan, I cannot believe you still held on with that 17 stone (238 lbs) guy jumping up and down on your shoulders. That is insane.
