So I will admit that I was a little excited to sit down and watch the debut of American Gladiators last night. I remember watching them all the time as a kid and thought the look and previews of the new show would be pretty sweet. Man was I wrong. I don’t even know where to begin with how horrible it was to watch. First there was probably 20 minutes total of actual challenges in a 2 hour segment. Then the Gladiators were probably the biggest tools I’ve seen. They act like a 3rd stringer that makes a tackle on special teams in the 4th quarter when their team is down by 40 points. Pretty pathetic.

Not saying I could hold my own against the Gladiators but the contestants made them look like fools more often then they made the contestants look like fools. One instance was during the joust, the Gladiator lost both times because his roided up body couldn’t balance and he stepped over on the other platform both times. The last time the contestant was cheering because he one and the douche bag just pushed the contestant into the water, then talked trash. I seriously think they just went to the local Lifestyles Fitness Gym and gathered up all the dudes they saw staring in the mirror calling themselves pussy’s. (Sorry for the vulgar language, but it’s based on a true story. Leeks has my back on that one.)

I used to be a big fan of the old school Gladiators but I doubt I’ll be wasting another hour of my life watching that.
