I talked to my pimp friend Upgrade on Sunday and he was thinking about watching the presidential debates. I can't fathom why, because on NBC they were showing people hitting each other with giant Q-tips! Yes, it was the return of American Gladiators which came back to the airwaves last night. Bigger Gladiators, more terrifying events and more HGH than the original! The biggest differences this time is that there is now a pit of water for the contestants to fall in, the Gladiators now wear black and white, and there are about, oh ,six million cuts during the events. Hulk Hogan is one of the co-hosts and he was all hulky and brothery during the show and did pretty well. Muhammed Ali's daughter is the other co-host. She was wooden for the most part but looked good, which is important. Speaking of which, for the record, my favorite new Gladiator is Crush (above) a.k.a. Gina Carano, "the face of female MMA fighting". Maybe in an upcoming show they can have some of the old Gladiators square off against the new ones. Who wouldn't want to see Crush vs. Ice or Diamond? Yeah, probably no one. Anyway, the show was okay but they have got to stop all of those cuts. Just show the events as they played out. It was also a little too contrived and happy-ass. Throw on some B-level celebrity contestants and maybe we will have something.
