Lalia = :drool:

Rest of the show...Wow, just terrible.

I will say that the new Eliminator looks like a real bitch and a half.

IIRC, didn't the old joust award you points for taking your opponents hand off their baton?

Nice stealing the barrel roll from Sasuke. -rolleyes-

I'm actually enjoying this. Then again, I'm not as nitpicky as the lot of you.

That is so cruel putting that uphill treadmill at the very end of the eliminator, though. :lol:

However,

Two Scoops Berry > All

I enjoyed it as well.

The new Eliminator is ridiculously hard, though. I liked the old one better.

Well, Hulk said Dude, Brother and Gladiator-maniacs but didn't get a chance for Whatcha gonna do...

They used to get 6 events in before the Eliminator, but with all the talking and intros, they've got it down to 4...disappointing.

Replacing the original theme with generic modern game show music...disappointing.

It's cheesy, bloated, and is just way too polished. The original felt like a sporting event, this doesn't.

Hahaha, add this to my guilty pleasures. Funny shit.

I want the asian chick from the first half of the ep

new version of assault is retarded imo

nothing like making them load every weapon and dig through sand to find the arrow, haha

how retarded

The music sounds like the theme from the Saw movies.

She gets around... http://www.venusramos.net/1538676.html

Not enough Hellga.

Militia hurting his arm had me cracking up. What a loser.

Guilty pleasure, I'll add this to my list. The dialog is extremely scripted but man do they really look like they're being pushed.

Not to mention that it is only about 8 feet between stations.

Noticed this too...

-NiCK

The ending of the first women's Eliminator definitely looked fishy. The black girl just lay there right near the top of the treadmill so that the asian girl could catch up and win. It looked so obvious.

I see this show being canceled next week its that bad.

For some reason, I don't think any crappy unscripted show is in danger of being canceled right now.

Isn't that the one who has gay porn photos out there? You would think he would know how to take a hit.

Maybe this is how NBC sweeps the little story under the carpet. he's "hurt"

It was very disappointing. I figured it would be impossible to fuck up such a simple formula that worked a decade ago.

First, the Gladiators... they blow. Zero personality. Only the Wolf was entertaining and even then he was almost too over-the-top silly. Hellga has potential but the rest are utterly forgettable. Speaking of utterly forgettable, their outfits. What a boring look. Black, gray and silver? The Gladiators should stand out, not blend in with the sets/events.

Second, the commentator was way too forced and unnecessary and definitely gave the show a scripted feel. Third, the events, where's the variety? They gave us two episodes, which was overkill, and they were already repeating them? I want to see the crazy ones brought back. And what was with the giant openings in containers in Powerball? Throwing the ball should be a penalty.

Who designed the Eliminator? Yikes! Why is the water stunt at the beginning? A little common sense would tell you it would be near impossible to hold on to the log or the bicycle being all wet. The swimming should be smack dab in the middle or just removed. Making the zipline drop into the pool would be cool, but with the fire it would be too dangerous, I'm sure. It just seems like it was designed to make the contestants fail.

As it stands, I'll probably watch again, but it seems I've put more thought into this post than the producers did when re-imagining the show.

The show has not changed, it was never a prime time show, and still isn't.

It deserves to be watched at about 11:30pm....

it had its moments though, good cheese.

They actually did that at one point in the original AG - I can't remember if was early in the series or in later years (I remember seeing it on a ESPN-CL rerun) and they had no rope to pull oneself up either.

However, I agree - this eliminator is harder, but it sucks that there are no Gladiators involved throwing obstacles at you.

Seriously--the way the loser just hung there...and hung there...and hung there... making no effort to start over or go back up, just long enough for the other chick to catch up and win? Lame...
