He Said:
I was definitely excited when I first heard they were bringing this back. It takes me back to my childhood. I was a big fan of the show growing up, as I'm sure a lot of you were. Gladiators was a David V. Goliath esque show. Putting average Joe's and Jane's going toe to toe with characters like Laser, Sabre, Siren, Nitro and Ice to name a few was a genius idea. After watching the first 2 episodes of the new American gladiators, it is still a fun show to watch but it doesn't quite live up to the excitement of the original. I was quite surprised seeing the introduction of the new Gladiators on the show. When Crush was introduced I knew she looked familiar. It turns out her name is Gina Carrano. She is a professional MMA fighter. She fights on the SHO XC format on Showtime. Anyhow, I will still probably continue to watch just because there isn't much on the tube still.
She Said:
I vaguely remember watching the original American Gladiators back in the early 90's. I remember red, white, and blue spandex and the event when the throw the balls from the machine. I on the other hand was more interested in G.U.T.S. a show were normal KIDS got to face off in the same type of events. They were not kicking the sh** out of each other like on Gladiators and there weren't any scary roided out competitors.
So far for the NEW American Gladiators, I've enjoyed watching so far. It's fun to watch. But I feel like as a nation, we are past this. With all the Anabolic Steroid and HGH drama going on between the MLB and WWE, how are we back to glorifying these unnatural grossly looking "athletes" in spandex?? It's almost like a message is being sent to the viewers and the "average joe/jane" competitors that steroids are OK and you should aim to be THAT big and huge.
So far, out of the 12 contestants we have met thus far, two appear to me to be on the juice or have been recently. No, I'm not talking about the Gladiators! HE mentioned CRUSH She appears to be one of the ONLY Gladiators who is not UNNATURAL. She is 5'7 155 lbs is thick and built. She isn't just a brick wall that growls at the competitors like most the other gladiators!
But yes, I will keep watching as its fun and there is not a whole lot of new television on. As for in little more than a month---BIG BROTHER 9 is starting! Atleast ONE thing has come from the continued Writer's Strike!
