This problem with having models as female Gladiators, is that the competitors would run right over them. Lace was the smallest of the old school school Gladiators, and she would get the crap knocked out her every episode. But Ice and Zap would deliver regular beat downs.

Yeah, as much as I'd like to see eye candy, the contestants they got on the original were pretty athletic (and butch I might add 
) and I assume they would be here, so it would be kind of ridiculous to have model-actress-types as female gladiators.

I loved the original and was a fan of it from the beginning, even before it became successful. At the risk of getting flamed, I feel certain that this new one is going to suck. Yes, I'm saying it before seeing it, that's how sure I am.
