Ditto!  I agree that the canned questions are just terrible.  I like some of the changes with the new events though.

I saw the last half hour Sunday, and amde sure to watch all of it last night. I LOVE that it is back on TV. They can ditch Ali, she sucks. Hulk sucked Sunday night, but did a little better last night.

I both like and dislike the eliminator now. On the one hand, it is absoutely hilarious to see the contestants get totally pwned by how hard it is. The escalator thing at the end is so wrong it is right.
On the other hand, I was very disappointed by the hand bike, and the barrel roll. IIRC, if you didn't finish a portion or fell off, a referree held you up for a time penalty before you could climb out of the pit on the original. They aren't doing that. Hell, it would be much quicker to just ignore the hand bike and jump straight into the pit! Noone is ever going to finish the handbike after swiming and climbing a 40 foot rope wall.

That was great to see that girl try to hunker down on joust and get her ass beat.
Hulk: I've wrestled for 30 years and in all the time I never got ---my bottom--- beat like you just did.
...I think he was serious. ;D

Final thoughts, I loved this show then, and I love it now.

ChadTower:

IIRC the ref held you back because you could just fall off and run faster... there wasn't a pit.  Now you have to actually climb out of a pit via the "ladder", which takes about the same amount of time the penalty took.

Guaranteed Hulk won't be back.  They filmed all of this before his son's accident.

I thought there used to be gladiators in the pits that would hold you up if you fell off the hand bike...   :dunno
