Hahaha! I'm not the only one, huzzah!

Yep, been watching it, too. Jesus, I'd forgotten the original order of the Eliminator. I was thinking they just chose scrawnier people this season, considering how many of them all look like death at the end. Your idea makes more sense; the swimming and cargo net alone are brutal. (though, psst, it's actually wall climb-swim under fire-cargo net-barrel roll-handbike-balance beam-pyramid-zip line-conveyor belt)

Wolf IS hilarious, but I keep expecting him to bite someone. And man, when Toa did his Mayuri thing Sunday night, did you see the look on the competitor's face? Bwahahaha.

Crush is hot. It makes my straightness wiggle. And Fury looks like Goro's girlfriend. She scares me~~.

I'm sorry but the old gladiator girls look like they could beat up these girls.

I can dig. I think there need to be some veteran matches ;)

I love that AG is back. My biggest complaint is that there's waaaay too much talking. Even the referee talks too much. And I do miss the original announcer - gave it more credibility as a "serious" sport, rather than this new tongue-in-cheek nostalgia that the new version has created.

The events are amazing, and the gladiators are awesome. My favorite are Toa, Crush and Hellga (who amazingly enough is not getting enough airtime). Anyways, I'm glad it's back!

Yeah, that struck me too. And the in-betweens are clearly scripted. Oh well.

This is why it's better to let it tape and watch later. that way you can FF through anything that isn't either 1. an event or 2. Hulk Hogan saying "brother" 5 times in one sentence.
