hang tough

Guess what I watched last night!?

American Gladiators!! Yeah!

It wasn't as if I'd been anxiously awaiting it's comeback or anything. I was just lazy, and decided that watching Gladiators would be a better use of my time than cleaning the bathroom. (Can you blame me, really?) And it was cool because they seemed to stick to the same format/feel of the original show, with Hulk Hogan and Leila Ali replacing ... whoever the hosts used to be. I don't remember many specifics of the original, but the new one just felt the same, you know? And I definitely remember the whole "Gladiators ready ..." thing. Most of the challenges were from the original show, apart from one new one called Earthquake, which was like a wrestling match on a wobbly circular platform suspended several feet off the ground. I expect there will be a few more new games revealed in upcoming episodes, too. I was trying to remember if they changed some of the "falling surfaces" from mats to water, or if they'd always been water. It seems to me that water would be a better choice anyway. Less risk of broken necks, you know. Oh, and the Gladiators? Awesome. A couple that stuck out to me were Toa, the Samoan (terrifying), and this very, very large woman who called herself Helga. I'm sure however you're picturing her right now is pretty close to the truth.
