The New American Gladiators!!!! email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 94/100. bellaofchaos (3116)2 years ago

That's right they started the 80's american gladiators all over with a whole new pack of gladiator I will have to say the joust is my new favorite they did some tweaking and added a water pit instead of those stupid mats. It's so funny to watch them fall into the water and have to swim all the way back up after they have the snot knocked out of them ..
Have you seen the new American Gladiators?
What do you think of it?
What is your favorite event?

I have not taken the time to watch this one but I use to be a fan of the one aired in the 80's. I was unsure that it would be "up to snuff" with the old one...maybe I will check it out.


myLot reputation of 94/100. bellaofchaos (3116)  2 years ago

I have to say it's up to snuff. I am really enjoying how they have done some minor changes like using water in the joust and mainly it's the same type of elimnations and events with some changes. But it's on Mondays at 8pm est. on NBC where I live. I was afriad that I was going to be so disappointed watching it. But it actually something that I will be glued to the t.v. during that time. Also you can catch up with the episodes on line at www.nbc.com/americangladiators . You can watch the full episodes on line and just check everything out. Have fun and check out hte site.

It was just on and i was listening to it in the background as i was mylotting, but I seen HULK HOGAN on conan the other day and he was on there promoting the show. Hulk Hogan is funny. lol. I had a dream about him a few weeks ago. That he told me that people are not nice, god is. And replied, no hulk, gods people are nice. LOL LOL LOL i am in now way shape or form religious nor do i believe in god. But i am Pregnant and have had some MESSED up dreams! That was one of them. A little off topic, but bella I know you dont mind reading rambles right? or novels?;)


myLot reputation of 94/100. bellaofchaos (3116)  2 years ago

Sissygrl

You are absolutely correct I don't mind reading ramblings or novels I think they're great to read! LOL!!! Especially since I have written so many..LOL!!! By the way how far along are you? I have 5 kids currently! they are 8,7,6,5,and 4. Tomorrow my oldest will be 9 and on the 24th her brother will be 8. So do you have any pregnancy cravings do you know if it's a boy or girl? As alway will be happy to read long winded novels.


myLot reputation of 96/100. Sissygrl (5760)  2 years ago

WOW you were busy! lol!! I have a daughter that is almost 18 months now, and i am either 28 or 29 weeks preggie, lol i dont keep track of these things as closely the second time there really isn't much time, or space in my brain apparently! did you have baby brain with your kids? it seems worse this time around, so i'm wondering by baby 5 if you start to get totally brain dead lol!! We are not sure if its a boy or girl, but they said its very possible itsanother girl, which is awesome for me, as i kept all the baby clothes from the first. I am just really scared cause they are so close in age, and the first is still really needy! that is my fault i supposed i can't complain eh? like i'm just scared that i am not going to have anytime to sleep and allthe crying and screaming is going to drive me nuts enough to pull all my hair out! lol how did you manage when they were all Teenie weeenie?


myLot reputation of 94/100. bellaofchaos (3116)  2 years ago

Just a tad bit busy, to be truthfully honest after the third child you really don't notice that much of a difference in the work load.. My two oldest are exactly a year and 9 days apart. Your daughter is 18 months now I would worry that much. You should be ale to have some time to sleep. Hmmmm Baby brain only when it came to my car keys and where I parked the car toher than that I was fine with my jobs. I think the funniest thing was when tyler was born and he had colic and I was getting one hour of sleep a night and going to college and taking care of my daughter and going through a seperation. You never truly know what you are capable of until you are in the face of adversity. YOu know I wouldn't worry about them being really close in age like I said my first two are a yr and 9 days apart and they are very close to eachother partners in crime close. You'll do fine don't worry about pulling your hair out that comes later when they are older and can double team ya better. Let's see how did I manage when they were itsy bitsy. Hmmm, I made sure the baby needs were met and when they baby would nap I spent special time with the other and reassured her she was still my baby toosince she was only a yr when her brother was born I made sure that I had her and him both taken care of. You'll be surprised how easy multi tasking comes to you when you need it.
You'll be fine. There is no need for you to worry. It' seems like forever since they were itsy bitsy. I kinda miss those times.


myLot reputation of 96/100. Sissygrl (5760)  2 years ago

Thanks for the reassurence bella, i know that i will get throught it beause i have to! I just am scared to do it, as i was with the first too. There will be no third for me two will be enough, i am 27 and i'm done. my hubby has a son as well as the two we will have. so all finished;) tubes are gettin tied!


myLot reputation of 94/100. bellaofchaos (3116)  2 years ago

Yeah I remember being scared each time thinking how am I going to do this and be able to function with no sleep. But as you know when the situation comes you just automatically do it. Well I wish you luck with your pregnancy and I'm with you I'm done. no more kids for me. but I'm a chicken when it comes to getting any surgery so I have not gotten my tubes tied. Have a nice night.


myLot reputation of 96/100. Sissygrl (5760)  2 years ago

lol i'm chicken of giving birth! so i opted for the c section! something about the pushing stretching ripping and stitches thing scares me. I've had abdominal surgery before so i knew what to expect wit that!


myLot reputation of 94/100. bellaofchaos (3116)  2 years ago

I'm the exact opposite I'm terrified of having a C-section and with each pregnancy I have never ripped or teared an needed stitched. So I'm terrified of what the Csections brings.LOL!!!


myLot reputation of 96/100. Sissygrl (5760)  2 years ago

Well i guess that worked out for you well then!! I imagine that i would tear and rip, i wanted to kick the nurse in the face when she checked if i started to dialate lol. It hurt! I had the gel to start an induction, and when that didn't work it was either change hospitals or have a c section.


myLot reputation of 94/100. bellaofchaos (3116)  2 years ago

yeah I agree when your in labor it husts like you know what when they go and check to see if your dialating properly. The one that I'm happy about is that I don't have to suffer through a long labor my first child I had in 45 minute of starting labor. LOL!! I have never had a labor longer than an hour. I never go to the hospital til my water breaks and 9 times out of 10 I have driven myself.LOL!!! But I'm a high risk pregnancy so I'm in a hospital where they can handle every possibility. Labor is never the fun part ..


myLot reputation of 96/100. Sissygrl (5760)  2 years ago

I agree. Well you are lucky that you haven't had more then an hour of labour! How did we get on the topic of labour in the gladiator discussion anyways?*scratches head* lol oh well we are here now, we might as well roll with it!


myLot reputation of 94/100. bellaofchaos (3116)  2 years ago

yeah I think it started out with your pregnancy dream.*taps head with pencil* Yep that was it. But hey so far noone has said a word about it.LOL!!!


myLot reputation of 96/100. Sissygrl (5760)  2 years ago

LOL of course it was me! DUH baby brain again!! See, i have those moment FAIRLY often. Once in a while i'll have a brilliant moment, but meh, most of the time while i'm preggie i got a bad case of the stupids!


myLot reputation of 94/100. bellaofchaos (3116)  2 years ago

LOL!!! I read somewhere while you pregnant your brain shrinks or something thus making you more forgetful. LOL!! I was the same way .. My other half would ask me to get things from the store and I would forget two minutes later.


myLot reputation of 96/100. Sissygrl (5760)  2 years ago

lol i forget everything and have a lot of blonde moments where ppl just wanna smack me for saying something so dumb lol. i'm surprised i haven't lost anything thistime like my phone or wallet or left my diaper bag somewhere lol. it's horrible, please tell me it goes away after a while!


myLot reputation of 94/100. bellaofchaos (3116)  2 years ago

Ok It goes away after a while. When your not pregnant. LOL!! Hey at least you haven't lost the car yet! I was always good at that .. Go into a store and then come out out okay where is my red cavalier...LOL!!

3. myLot reputation of 88/100. lotterylover (4818)   2 years ago

Believe it or not my wife likes to watch it. I guess it is because of the competitiveness in her. She will even play games with little kids as young as 3 and 4 years of age. She played games with our girls even though they many times beat her. One seemed to always have the right item to beat in what ever game they played like Uno.
She could beat them at Chinese Checkers all the time. Her Dad beat her most of the time in American Checkers but she played with him anyway. She could beat him at Chinese Checkers so he didn't really like playing that. He kept knocking marbles out of their places because of his big fingers.


myLot reputation of 94/100. bellaofchaos (3116)  2 years ago

I like watching it because not only the competitiveness of the game but just the eliminations are great. They make it fun to watch.

Mike Adamlee needs to come back. I like Ali and the Hulk, but they are no Mike Adamlee from the original series.

Plus is it me, or are the Gladiators' names just wimpy? Helga? Wolf? Come on! Bring back Ice, Nitro, Turbo, Tower, Lace, Zap and Siren! Heck, even Hawk was a better name from the first AG series than the ones they have now. The creators had no creativity when naming the AGs.

I know there is a Siren on the new show, but she can't hold a candle to the REAL Siren from the older show.

The events are updated, which I like, especially the water portion of the eliminator and falling into a pit of water rather than foam gym mats, but it's good entertainment. I did hear that it got excellent ratings when it debuted. But now that the crappy American Idol show is back, it'll be blown out of the water.


myLot reputation of 94/100. bellaofchaos (3116)  2 years ago

LOL, I don't think american idol will blow it out of the water. because AG is on monday night and AI is on Tuesday night. But you should see the assult I laughed my but off they added a water thing to that too. Instead of when the competitor hit the target it smokes the gladiator now they are attached to a pully system and when the target is hit they are thrown into a pool of water I laughed so hard. I loved it. Yeah I agree the names are week but the gladiators still look like gladiators. Did you notice they seem to be more complementary than the other before them. Meaning they compliment the competitors when they try hard and are really nice people. The old was were nice to but they didn't go out of there way to show it. I posted a site in the first response where you can see the new episodes if you missed any. Have a nice day.

We've been watching the new one and it is awesome. My boys (6 and 4--the 5 month old is there but not watching) love it. They like assault when the gladiators get pulled back into the water. We make it a game. In the beginning we pick which color we are going to root for. Sometimes we all root for the same people and sometimes we don't. My favorites are Titan, Toa, Wolf, Crush, and Siren.


myLot reputation of 94/100. bellaofchaos (3116)  2 years ago

I have to agree with you that I love the assualt it is to funny when they go flying through thte air and then into the water and get all wet. LOL!! I like Titan, Wolf, fury, siren, and crush. I missed this weeks so I'm about to watch it on line. lol!! Have a nice one.

I love the new American Gladiators and have watched it every week this season. The male Gladiators are huge and overpowering. The women are pretty darn strong and fast as well and Hellga is a monster. I like how they made some changes but not too many. I like the pyramid as the contestants have struggled to get up to the top. The Gladiators have dominated that event. I like the Joust as well.


myLot reputation of 94/100. bellaofchaos (3116)  2 years ago

I love the assualt how if the contestants win the gladiator get thrown through the air in a pool of water. Love it. LOL!! I like how they changed things to water traps. LOL!!!
