American Gladiators
Hoopz:
It's not as good as Ninja Warrior.
JackTucky:
The interviews with the contestants were so corny. " I went to med school so I can handle this"
"I'm a skateboarder so I can handle being chased by cops"
--cream-filled twinkie--.

Crush is haaawwwwwwwwwwwwwwt!
They revamped the eliminator. The handbike is in the middle of the course...it's incredibly hard for people to do it. And the reverse treadmill? That's at the very end. It has made it nearly impossible to finish races.
I think they may need to eliminate powerball. Some woman got her leg screwed up on the first show, and the preview for next week looks like a man has to splint his leg after it. With so much tackling, it's no stretch that these are only the beginning of the injuries in it.
Seriously. If you watch it, watch it for Crush. She whaled on some woman today in joust. It was a bona fide beatdown.
And did I mention she was amazingly hot?
Lutus:
I saw it. It was over produced.
What I mean by that is, as soon as an event was over, 2 seconds later they were interviewing the contestant. It was ridiculous, as soon as the contestant burst through the wall Ali's daughter had a mic in their face saying "what were you thinking as you were running the gauntlet?"
Alot of fast camera cuts, and the referee was killing me.
You just have to watch it to see what I mean.

The good thing about it is they didn't change a thing. The bad thing about it is they didn't change a thing.
I'm not sure what the others are talking about regarding "increased production values" cause I didn't see them. Of course the camera work is better, because it's been 15 years since it was on and they gave everyone updated uniforms. Other than that, it looks like they literally got the old set out of moth-balls and just gave the rusted stuff a fresh coat of paint. The over-serious ref and the stupid camera cuts are left over from the old show btw, so they aren't anything new.
The only real change from prime time is Hulk and Leyla and although both are quite personable, they are used quite poorly. Horribly canned and generic questions are the extent of their "interviews" which seem like nothing more than time filler. This whole getting to know the contestant crap is a bad trend that started with millionare a few years back and continues on every single frikkin primetime gameshow. You see the problem with getting to know these contestants is taht it becomes clear immediately that either they are totally uninteresting or a complete cliche, obviously picked to be on the show to get a cheap ratings boost.
:angry: I swear to god, allah, buddah, the flying spaghetti monster and anybody else who'll listen, if I see one more New York fireman, Iraqi vet, housewife who married their childhood sweetheart, guy who married their childhood sweetheart, ethnic stereotype or person that sure thinks they have to say a clever pun after each question is asked (and those puns are NEVER funny) I'm going postal and killing every single frikkin television producer that's ever made a reality show in the last 10 years!!!!!!! And is it me or are these people always terribly one-dimensional? I mean it's nice you are a vet, but is your life so sad that this the sole thing that defines your entire life? Every question to these people is replied with "well I'm a soldier/marine/fire fighter/some city worker still bragging that he DID HIS DAMN JOB on 9-11 6 YEARS after the fact/ect. so ....." I feel sorry for these people. I mean I'm a single loser and a dork and I have more going on then them. I have friends and family and obligations and hobbies and interesting stories to tell regarding all of that. I think they exploit the one decent quality they have hoping the gameshow people will rig the contest in their favor or something. Well that's illegal so it ain't gonna happen so get over yourselves. Also true heroes are modest so quit getting on television and embarrasing yourself and everyone associated with you. :timebomb:
Why did Bob barker have to retire? Ever watched how he handled it on TPIR?
Bob: "Well hi Patty where are you from and what do you do?"
Patty: "Well I'm a US marine who just got back from Iraq"
Bob: "That's great! Let's go play plinko!"
See that's how you do it... merely pretend to be interested to be polite and when they start going on and on cut em off and be sure to make them understand that nobody really gives a crap what they do, we just wanna see if they win the showcase.
Oh and btw, yes, Crush is quite hot. She's *almost* hot enough to make me watch it regularly, but I'm sure somebody will start posting clips of her being all hot on the tubes pretty soon. ;)
