That would be awesome.

And I still think that at the end of the show it should have a more roman gladiators feel where the head of the network gets to decide the loser's fate.

Thumbs up, the contestant goes home

Thumbs down, and the winner runs the loser through with a short sword.

That would hold my interest.

The only part that was stupid during the pyramid was when the gladiator jumped over the fire-fighter to give him the easy win. Kind of reeked of a set-up IMO...

I'd have to agree that the old assault looked entirely different.

He must be a real blast at parties. Relax Bill, its just an unspeakably sub-par TV show, not a moral referendum on freedom.

Helga would probably be a very good looking woman if she wasn't so butch. She's not huge, she's just...built like a man. She was also VERY sub-par at the Gauntlet, the one event I saw her in.

She is what they call; a post-op.

They probably were going to roll it out at a different time and this made it a no-brainer. It's all about who has 'new' TV.

On a side note, I'm sure NBC has some strict drug testing for their Gladiators as it would be a PR mess if they didn't. But some of those guys... I don't know....

It has everything to do with the writer's strike. They filmed it in November in an attempt to fill the void.

Just a happy coincidence for NBC...they had this planned well before the writers strike happened.

"Even though the deal to bring “American Gladiators” back was done before TV writers went on strike, the timing couldn't be better for a throwback with a modern twist."
