Who's watching?

So far in the first episode, one injured gladiator, one injured contestant... and what's with all the water?

But Crush is hot. I'll give the show that much.

Do they still have the ridiculous outfits, the laughable "gladiator" names and the giant hamster wheels? I might have to watch an episode.

That said this shows screams out, "we can't resolve the writer's strike and are officially out of ideas."

Show isn't half of what it used to be, but I'd still like to try it!

I absolutely adore Robin Coleman... I don't know what her gladiator name is (I don't really watch much TV in general) but I wish I could find someone like her.......

Crush is Gina Carano who is an MMA fighter for EliteXC. She used to fight Muay Thai and was very successful winning championships in Thailand.

Here's a vid. She rocks! Very fun to watch.

Vid 1 Watch at 6:30 for one heck of a punch.

I watched most of the two episodes tonight. Awesomely cheesy. I hope I can catch more of it in the future.

Another show I can gladly never watch!

I'm getting more free time every week, with the number of stupid "reality" shows coming on. I make it a point not to watch a single episode of any of them.

Wow, the show hasn't left the 80's, yet it's wicked awesome and inspires me to hit the gym more often. What more can you ask? Also, it's cool that champions from this season get to be gladiators on next season, however that works.

Anyone remember Rico Constantino contesting on the original show, before his WWE career?

I didn't get a chance to see it. I doubt I'll ever watch it.

AAAAWESOME! We watched this event live, and Gina is EASILY the highlight of that whole event! She WHAILED in that fight and she was easily the best fight we've seen for women's MMA. It's totally awesome she's building her career, but I NEVER expected her to do this! Totally awesome!


And the second episode, men's Pyramid... BRUTAL. Powerbombed right down the damn thing. Excellent.

And Bobbie ATE that pipe! She was leaking like a cup of ramen noodles boiling over in the microwave! HAWT. Gutsy. Awesome.

I'm not missing an episode.
