FTN are showing them out of order. The Champion of Champions one on last night had the winners of the Ashes on.

I recently read somewhere that a few countries had brought back Gladiators. I'm not sure whether I'd want it back here. As much as I think its ace, I think I'd think new Gladiators just wouldn't match up to the old ones.

I saw some pictures of the American Gladiators on a site recently, and it seems one of them has previous in gay adult film. This is Militia, and I wouldn't like to think where that finger has been.

I was reading about this somewhere. Isn't this one of Perez Hilton's 'lets out another dirty gay' witchhunts? When actually all he did was a couple of nude pics for a gay website.

Look at the American wolf! www.nbc.com/American_Gladiators/bios/wolf.shtmlHow I miss our old comedy wolf. These are the 2008 Australian Gladiators: Amazon, legendary tribal beauty Angel, furious and flying Bionica, disciplined and focused Destiny, all-knowing and fiery Hunter, stealthy and precise Kouta, the Greek God Nitro, speedy and explosive Nomad, dynamic and noble Olympia, regal and graceful Outlaw, born to be wild Scar, fearless warrior Tank, man of action Thunder, earth-shatteringly strong Viper, slitheringly hypnotic Is anyone else laughing at the one on the very left of the front row?

Is he a midget, or just a bit shit?
I watched Gladiators today on Challenge. There was a woman with braids scraped so tightly to her head she looked like she was wearing a hairband of baldness at her hairline. She also was shit at Hang Tough: she got on one ring, dangled for ten seconds and was then disqualified for not doing anything. The Gladiator didn't even need to approach her.
The men wore awfully tight shorts, didn't they? Shame about the faces 90s haircuts.

I'd love it if they brought back Gladiators on Saturdays - if it proved popular it might encourage "the kids" to get off their arses and play at being Gladiators (not that I ever did that when I was little, no...) and stop lining up in dresses that look like quilt covers to audition for yet another X Factor style show.

If they brought it back I wonder which Gladiator names they'd have. I assume going from the American and Australian Gladiator names that they'd just use the names other countries had last time, so we'd probably end up with a load of crapply named Glads.
I wonder who they'd have presenting. Probably Vernon Kaye and Holly Willoby (I know thats spelt wrong).

That's when the Daily Mail would start blaming it for a plague of happy slapping incidents involving giant cotton buds.

If they bought it back, it would have to be Celebrity Gladiators, with Amanda Platell taking on Lauren Booth on the Atlaspheres, with Javine versus Alesha on Duel.

I was actually in the States last week, and caught* an episode of new American Gladiators. It's much the same, except the crashmats have been replaced with water. The Eliminator was way, way harder though - it took the blokes a good 3 minutes to complete.
Hulk Hogan and Muhammed Ali's daughter whose name escapes me are on presenting duties. They weren't very good, but anything would be preferable to a crab-riddled old scutter like Ulrika.
*When I say "caught", I mean "made a point of watching."

Yep. It definitely loses its impact (or its splash, arf etc) when it's the outcome for every event. Even the Eliminator has bits where they have to swim.
It also means they all have to wear dodgy plimsoll rubber shoe things, as opposed to trainers.

If it stops the Daily Mail printing more stories about Madaliana (someone here had that as an avatar and it made me howl), it's fine by me.

Guess whats back! www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/showbiz/tv/article740859.eceSadly on Sky though. Edit: Even though it is old news, I just read that Sky are planning to have some kind of subscription service to get Sky one or parts of it on freeview starting from this summer, so it might be ok afterall. However, there is still the issue that it looks like Ian Wright is going to host it. I think we should have a Lowculture outing to this when they start filming.

I just read they're planning water and fire-based games! I don't have Sky...

Saracen, Scorpio, Zodiac and another gladiator (I think it was Hunter) were on Richard and Judy yesterday. Saracen is still amazing although his lovely dreadlocks were not as neat and tidy as they used to be.

Right, my boyfriend has applied to be on the show already.

So has my sister. I hope she becomes the next Eunice Huthart.
There was a 'Where Are They Now' piece in the Observer at the weekend. Saracen is now a fireman, and someone else is a 'comedy personality'. I think it was Trojan....

There was something in the paper today about Andi Peters being a Gladiator in the new series. Oh My God. That could either being something 'special' or something really really really bad. Wait, you do mean Andi Peters as in the children's tv presenter don't you? Not some other Andi Peter's that's, like, a sportsman or something? Becuase, otherwise, boy would i have egg on my face. EDIT: ok, i just saw the picture above. Now it all makes sense. I think.
