Oh. My. God. I'm going to bed. :doh:

Uh oh. It's about to get hot in the RI/Fins house! :)

I watched it but it was horrible compared to what I had before. It was over-produced. It was like watching a documentary or something. They replayed that lady getting hurt WAY too many times, the interviews were so cheesy. The announcer, if that's what you want to call him was just as corny as you could get. I'll give it another chance, but it was between that and lowering my IQ but watching the I Love New York Reunion Show. New York won, and my brain lost....

I thought it was cheesy in the good way. I was laughing the whole time.

That Wolf guy makes me want to stab someone though. He's trying WAY too hard to tell everyone that he's supposed to be the Wolf.

It's WAY rougher this time. Already, one competitor and one Gladiator are out.

I watched both episodes last night, and for me the verdict is still out. However, I'm leaning towards a big NO, especially since you can watch the old ones on ESPN Classic.

I too was disappointed in the way the commercials cut up the competition, and that there are only 4 events then the eliminator (instead of 5). Hang Tough looks ridiculously easy, they ruined Assault (you have to load the weapons?), and one of the new events (Hit and Run) is pretty pathetic (reminds me of MXC).

However, Earthquake has potential, and the other events are similar to their predecessors. I'm still not sure about the Eliminator. I like that it's tougher and longer, but it might be too long. And yes, the female gladiators are very hot.

I think a big part of the reason that I didn't like the show from the get-go was 1) the first contestants intro was depressing (and then she got hurt) and 2) they made Power Ball way too easy. They used to have the goals farther away from the competitors, which meant that the gladiators had more time to get to them. Also, the goals used to be much smaller meaning that you had almost no chance of shooting the ball into it. Now they have these wide mouth canisters and contestants were making jump shots right and left.
Also, the gladiator Helga may have been the biggest joke that I've ever seen. She was in one event and basically just stood there to take up space. They should have just put Lila Ali in there with 24oz gloves on and let her dominate the contestants.

The blonde guy who is the new face of the show looks like a total D-bag and the African-American dude with the dreads looks like Whoopi Goldberg on steroids. No thanks. I liked the Eliminator when I was 10 years old. Now, that concept makes me laugh.

Did you see those two chicks on the first Eliminator? They looked DRUNK it was so hard.

Yea I watched it as well, felt a bit disappointed but the last time I watched it was at least 15 years ago if not more so Im sure it was cooler back then because of my own age.
Whos the hottest chick? I say Crush:
