American Gladiators

It took me an hour an a half longer into the show than it should have for me to witness people playing "assault" again. It's the game where the gladiator gets a gun that shoots tennis balls at 100 miles per hour, while the contender tries to hit his target with an odd arsenal of weapons.

It wasn't as fantastic as I remembered it. There was much more to laugh at than I remembered.

I had more pity on most of the contenders than envy. The New York Firefighter held his own really well, and won by a landslide, but almost every other contestant (and gladiator) was laughable.

I might not see much more of this show. I can only watch people fail at running uphill for so long before i'm unamused.
