Is it just me or did they sissify the show? I seem to remember the Gladiators being much better at the events, being really pissed off if they lost an event, and really hating the contestants. Furthermore, the contestants are nothing compared to the old contestants. I remember watching the guys fly across the hand bikes, and aside from that NY Firefighter, they've all been pretty weak.
Finally, the thing that drives me the craziest, what happened to the 10 second penalty for falling off the hand bike?!?!? If im on the show, I'm leaping up on the hand bike, taking one stroke, dropping down, and running to the other side.
I will continue to watch the show, but I am disappointed about the above things. And to KellyC... You got your wish. Did you see that girl take a face plant into the steel piping in the water. By the end, she had blood running all down her face. AG Rocks!!!
