I dunno about you guys, but I'm pretty stoked.

It was one of my all-time fav shows.

It was not all that great. So much hype...and it fell flat for me. I was expecting so much more!

Man, what I would give for a night under the sheets with Hellga...

Anyone else think Fury is actually Sporty Spice?

Anyone else notice that the referee is the same guy who played the referee in Dodgeball (he shaved his moustache)?

The new version of Hang Tough is pathetic. It's 4 rings across! The old was was like 12.

Overall, I thought it was still a fun watch. I'm so glad that douchebag in the second game lost.

The highlight for me was definitely the chick going out in the first game. That knee twist was classic. We kept replaying it laughing at her.

Is that was happened to her? I kind of feel bad, but at the same time, she looked so pathetic it was funny. And the one chick who kept falling face first into the slope of the last portion of The Eliminator. Both of those women (in the first ep) looked so weak the whole time. Pretty sad.

I watched it and thought it was pretty decent. I thought Wolf was awesome, and Crush is kind of attractive (still way too ripped though). My favorite part was the chick doing 2 to 3 face-plants off of the treadmill on the eliminator. She was terrible at that, and absolutely ate it a few times.

Oh, I'm not sure but that's what it looked like huh?

Yes, the chick that lost at the end because she coulnd't climb the treadmill looked like a pansy.

It looked like a sniper got her :D

I liked the show, but I don't like how it is balanced. Most of the events seem to require a good amount of strength, but then the eliminator heavily favors light competitors. So basically all of the hard work that you put in to beat the other person through the opening rounds can be removed just because you have a little more weight to carry around.

She had been clearly injured before and then tried to "tough it out" and ended up tearing her ACL. Reminds me of the time that Vince McMahon tore his quad and then tried to walk back to the locker room without assistance and tore the other quad in the process.

I think the tall black lady hanging on the treadmill was funnier though. Actually, the funniest part was when she finally did get up and kind of fell over and collapsed through the blocks at the end. There's nothing funnier than watching people who have lost the will to live.

I thought Wolf was awesome


Really???????????
Man, I wanted to turn the television off when he started howling. And who was that one Gladiator who did that superfluous, drug-induced-looking, kinda wants to look like a Polynesian ritualistic dance thing before the Pyramid? That was weird.

Overall, the second show that was on last night was better than the first. I do miss the old commentators ("Back to you, Csonk!"), though.

Additionally, the nuthuggers this time around are a lot more of a visual assault than they were in the original version of the show.

I wanted that stupid Spider Monkey guy to eat it in the second episode. Hardcore when that Marine hit her head on the steel pipe and was bleeding throughout the Eliminator. There's strong, and then there's Marine strong...or something like that.

Also, the physical requirements to be eligible for that show are RIDICULOUS. I can't find a link to them now, but at least back in the old version it was insane. There was a special on ESPN Classic one time. Can anyone find it???

Wow, most disorganized post ever.
