And whats this I read with Crush ready for a fight? Shes a boxer or something?

She's a Mixed Martial Arts fighter.

And she is hot with great set of boobies......and could probably kick my ass....and I would let her in exchange for 5 .... 3 minutes :D

Nice vid. Painful to sit through that song though.

Just watched the third episode. The Travelator owns all! :lol: The scripted dialog really needs to go.

I'd like to know the need for two stars to be hosting the show. Mike Adamle is still grunting it out doing local sports (albeit in Chicago) and Larry Csonka...well, he's still being a bitter old man just waiting to pop the champaign if the Pats lose. Their greatness hosting the show was that the contenders and even more so, the gladiators were the stars. While I am happy to see the show back on the air, they need to bring in two schmos to host it (hell, even bring in the Pros v Joes host along with some hasbeen athlete) and get rid of all the trademarkish vocals by the gladiators along with the interviews with the contestents. Anyone else notice that for the women it's generally an ugly duckling vs. an attractive yet annoyingly positive minded chick?

By JOSEF ADALIAN
After just two original broadcasts, NBC has decided to order up another season of its "American Gladiators" revival.
New take on "Gladiators" bowed to the highest ratings of any new series this season, scripted or unscripted. It averaged a 5.9/14 among adults 18-49, and 12 million viewers overall. Skein's premiere in its regular Monday night slot last week also did very well.

Peacock isn't saying how many extra episodes of "Gladiator" it's ordered, or when the second season of the show will air. First season is slated to wrap in mid-February.

"Gladiators" comes from MGM Television and Reveille. Mark Koops, Howard Owens and David Hurwitz are exec producers.

Excellent. Now hopefully they'll work out the kinks.

Cancelled my season pass.
Too many irritating aspects.
Just can't do it...

Yea, shitty music. She looks alot younger and better too. I think she aged alot.

Tonights ep was alright. Another injury on the same event. Not enough Crush

I figured out who Wolf reminds me of:

Wow that horse and bull rider chick and minister dude wanted to make me puke. Do they TRY to get the most annoying people on the show?

Bluelitespecial 01-15-08 07:18 PM

I sure hope someone else can find a way to win assault, because only one person has so far.

Everything seems squeezed together on Assault....make the space between obstacles larger and not so close to the Gladiator platform.

Evidently the "bull rider" contestant from the last episode is a softcore porn actress. http://www.realitytvscoop.com/2008/0...adiators-porn/

Maybe she writes her u's like a's and the producers misunderstood her application?

bunkaroo 01-17-08 03:21 PM

I found the show to be mildly entertaining if one fast forwards through anything that isn't actual competition.

Mikael79 01-21-08 09:08 PM

I was a huge fan of the original show when I was a kid, and I'm loving this new version as well. The talking parts are a little boring, but the competition sections are classic TV, in my opinion.

So many good looking female Gladiators, I can't even name them all, but my favorite is Crush.

Evan Dollard went to my high school... graduated the year after I did. He really bulked up. Used to be pretty skinny when I knew him. Man did he kick some ass tonight!

I've been saying this since it first premiered. i can't take that guy serious, every time I see him do his thing I laugh and think about the bar room scene from Dodgeball.

I've given up watching this show on NBC, I know just wait for it to get posted on Hulu.com and skip past all the horribly scripted lines.

I think what makes them all better is that they dont look all trashy like most girls today. I havent spotted a single tattoo on the chicks. If they have em, theyre not visible. Makes em totally hotter.

Crush is so hot, but last night I saw a shot and her legs looked overly huge, about Hellga size.... Dont matter, Id still fuck her :D

My New American Gladiators drinking game:

1. everytime Hulk says "brotha" take a drink
2. everytime the ref counts down 3, 2, 1 - anyone who does not say "Dodgeball" after 1 must drink
3. everytime a contestant dedicates their performance to a family member, take a drink
4. anytime the play by play announcer makes a bad pun, finish your glass
5. everytime the gladiator "Wolf" howls, howl and do a shot
6. everytime someone loses a piece of protective equipment (helmet, neck brace, etc.) take a drink

Yeah I think was thinking the same thing because the ref looks and sounds just like the one from dodgeball.

I guess we know what Mike Adamle is doing now... he's been hired by the WWE, presumably to help announce Raw...

Giantrobo 01-29-08 12:38 AM

I wish they would dump the way the hosts talk to the competitors just before the match starts. I'd rather just get a short interview after each match.

yep and he spent his first night at the Royal Rumble flubbing names, like "Jeff Harvey".

kevin75 01-29-08 07:37 AM

that short guy last night needs to come up with some material of his own. he was stealing bits from at least 'anchorman' and 'dodgeball'.
