American Gladiators
shardian:
Must be a West Coast thing then. Does the show normally air at 8pm for you in CA? If so, then that explains why it was bumped to 10. The President thing started at 9pm here, and lasted for a good while.
Still, you shouldn't be missing episodes. The last few episodes were set up so that the highest times were bumped from the top 4, which is why the mens board got low. There were three guys who posted crazy fast eliminator times. The last few women winners stunk it up, so even though they won they went home. Either way, all of the episodes are online at nbc.com
Take a look thru them and see if you are indeed missing some eps.

Ya, the late start could of just been a west coast thing. I understand how the top board works, but it shouldn't have changed from the end of one show to the beginning of the next, and especially shouldn't have changed that much. I'd also like to point out that there were only 5 episodes before the semifinals aired. (Jan. 6, 7, 14, 21, and 28). That means there was a total of 5 winners (per gender), which then means there would of only been one winner who didn't make it to the top 4. I dunno, seems like they skipped a bunch of episodes to me.
shardian:
The first episode was a double episode - there were 2 male and 2 female winners. There were then 2 "elimination" episodes at the end before the semi's. You have seen them all. Pretty short season huh? ;D

I never said I saw them all. I missed the first episode, didn't feel like watching the semi's last night, and I think I also missed one in the middle. It's one of those shows I only watch if nothing else is on. But still, it sounds like there were only 6 winners per gender total (unless the 2 elimination ones your talking about happened last night before the semifinals, which would make it 8 winners total, still not very many, but at least believable for a full season) and it still doesn't explain how the leader board significantly changed from the end of one episode to the beginning of the next :dunno
It looks like you were right about the presidential speech being the reason it was pushed to 10pm, it wasn't because of bad ratings like I thought. A quick check online and I see that the show is actually getting decent ratings and is even signed up for a season 2, so it looks like my assumptions about the bad ratings were wrong. I still think they skipped a couple episodes, but it doesn't really matter since I have no proof one way or the other.
hulkster:
i cant believe the ratings are good for this show. its gotta be staged, and even if it isnt, they totally botched the show. all they needed to do was to take the old formula, get a new set, throw in some new events and boom...done. id season pass on my dvr, and be totally content. but NO....they had to make it all dramatic and crap.
