“Gladiators ready!!!!!”

Ah yeeeeeaaahhhhh!!!! American Gladiators came back to network television last night, with it’s grand debut on NBC. (I’m going to assume that if you are reading this you know what American Gladiators is, if not, you prolly won’t get it anyway.) The Gladiators are as big and cheesy as ever, and there is one for whatever your taste. Returning are all your favorite events like Joust, Pyramid, and PowerBall, and they have added some new events as well, though they aren’t quite as good. Pairs of contestants battle through 4 events against the resident Gladiators to rack up points, and then the leader is given a 1/2 second per point differential advantage going into the final Eliminator obstacle course. Gotta say - the Eliminator is longer and tougher than it was originally and contestants were lucky to even finish the thing. Made for some good races. Oh and did I mention that the show is hosted by none other than Hulk Hogan?!?! Can’t get much better than that. (Besides, he prolly needs a job now that he is split from his wife and kids…)
Last nights highlight was the dude that was doing the “Bull Dance” after winning the joust. LOL!!! Tune in tonight for episode 2. (I suggest watching it via DVR - the interviews can get a bit tiring.)
