American Gladiators is back January 6th!

[blm]

Hell yeah dvr set to record. I'm pumped. I used to love this show and I still watch the cheesy re-runs, lol.

[blm]

I'm a little disappointed by the look of the gladiators though...I was hoping they would be meaner and more jacked looking.

Is it me or does Wolfe remind anyone else of Ben Stiller in Dodgeball?

[NewbieChris]

Disappointed with the first event. The baskets for powerball are way too big.

[NewbieChris]

Completely disappointed. Second womens event the gladiator cheated. I didn't think you could grab the jousting stick.

yep!! haha, me and sana were just talking about that shit. funny as hell

[YellowJacket]

Wow. That was terrible and scripted. Yikes.

[grnmchn]

Way to scripted....probably never watch it again!

[Bouncer]

I like it, its better then all the other shit on tv. At the same time though, they need to polish it up a bit. The show could be laid out a little better and some of the gladiators don't seem very good at all in some of the events.

Helga is a fat beast. lol

And that blond haired gladiator is from the original show in the 90's. He has lost a good amount of size since then.

[Bouncer]

YJ and grnmchn, did you guys watch it in the 90's? This show is no more scripted then that was.

I am just happy something like this is back on tv. I have had enough of fucking crap like American Idol.

[Shibby]

I'm loving it. Some of it does seem scripted or more like they give the contenders kind of a handicap. I think Crush is hot.

[grnmchn]

Yeah, I watched it in the 90's, but I was in my teens and had no idea what the hell was going on. I just liked seeing a bunch of middle age has beens getting their asses kicked by juiced up gladiators.....

[YellowJacket]

Yea, I also watched the original... this one is much cheesier.

[NewbieChris]

I think its much worse than the old American Gladiators. The events are either easier or I don't remember the show accurately. Some of the events are just boring as well and some of the gladiators are cheesey as fuck. Kinda disappointed, but I'll watch it till the end.

I think you hit on something. I think we are remembering the show as being better then it was.
