I was really quite moved by the guy with the prosthetic leg. Just about every event he did took a lot more effort. With Power Ball, he wasn't able to move left laterally. On the Wall, the "foot" he had at the bottom of the prosthetic was only good for balance, not for propelling himself up the wall. He was essentially climbing up with one leg, and he still almost made it. And yeah, the Eliminator - just not something he would be able to do with any ease. Still, for him to compete on this show was pretty inspirational.
Loved Rocket Ball and the changes to the Eliminator. Smart how that one woman used momentum from the teeter-totter to go up the travelator.

I didn't see it, but I'm glad to hear they did something about the handbike thing. It was always way easier to just drop down and climb back up. I was shocked to see more people not do it actually.

Yes, as D mentioned he is in prison for driving drunk, crashing his car and leaving his friend permanently brain damaged. I'm actually not even sure if his friend is out of his coma yet.

The ref actually makes me laugh. I love how the contestants are all in great shape and you have the ripped gladiators...and then a little pudgy "referee" in the action. Its hilarious!
I also thought that the amputee doing the eliminator was sad to watch. I felt bad for him, but then he chose to be there and knew basically what it entailed. I felt worse for the guy who had to race him in the event though....talk about a no win situation.

I'm guessing "Performance Enhancing Drugs" but I could be wrong.
Although some of those definitions from Urban Dictionary could have worked also.

She is much more ripped than I recall...almost too much for me. (Almost! If she played her cards right though....)

I met her in Costa Rica this January. Quite the six pack. She was doing a photo shoot for a fitness mag. Then when I got home I turned on the TV and there she was on AG. She kicked ass.

I think the show is seriously broken now.
The Eliminator is so hard now, all the other events with the Gladiators are meaningless. Getting a five second lead after 5-6 Gladiator events is irrelevant when no one can climb up the final wall.

What did you think of Zen? I like the idea of quick and agile gladiators for some competitions but if you ever came up to him in the Gauntlet, he'd probably get hurt.
Is there still another mystery Gladiator to be revealed?

I enjoy watching the show but I am quite surprised that they are keeping Hogan around. His son turns someone into a vegtable while during that day Hogan bought his son and his friends alcohol. Than it comes out Hogan cheated on his wife with his daughters friend.
The only gladiator I didn't like in this new version was Wolf.

I think this was her?
I remembered seeing that in the Nosara surf report.

Yeah, the Beast! *Spoilers below in white*
If you follow wrestling at all, it's Matt Morgan from TNA. He used to wrestle all over and even was in WWE at a time. He's 7'1 and over 300 easy. Here's hoping they have him do The Wall!
