American Gladiators

[Araxen]

They definately need to tweak some of these games and rules. Eliminator is just too exhausting maybe putting the treadmill ramp at the beginning would make it better and falling off some things need a 5-10 second penalty.

Assault needs to have the time extended no one has come close to finishing it yet. Bring back the hamster ball game!

[Grimmlokk]

I said it before, no idea why the fuck they brought back Power Ball. It was horrible then, it's horrible now. Drop that shit and revive the Atlasphere!!!!!!!!

[huh]

Leave the treadmill where it is. Watching them fail so close to the finish is the best part of the show.

Definitely needs a time penalty for the hand bike. I'm actually surprised nobody has said fuck it and just jump straight down yet.

Here's a vid with the old eliminator. I'm pretty sure they had multiple set ups for it during the run of the show. But jesus they fucking fly through it, and the treadmill seems to be going like 10 times faster than it is in the new show.

Yeah they need to make some changes, some small ones (like the Assault tennis ball speed needs to be lowered a tad) and of course, less Hogan, more events. I'm also going back and forth about whether this whole thing is just phony.

The treadmill is faster in the old one, but it's also first and therefore easier.

They did have the handbike penalty it seems in that one. The new one seems harder...at least from the way people react to it.

Friend of mine said the exact same thing about it being phony. Koya laying there, off the treadmill, to let the other chick catch up and win really pissed him off.

god damn those guys int he old videos seem so in shape.

Breezed thruogh the hand bike like it was nothing. Or maybe its because the new handbike is not at the beginning of the course.

Either way you need to do something about some of the events cuz its massively cheesed right now.

Entertainment value is still A++ thoguh. Seeing how tired the girls were (like almost dead) at the end of the eliminator jsut fumbling trough the foam blocks to finish was hilarious.

There was a part in episode 2 where both dudes were so worn out they just stood at the bottom of the travelator together and rested. lol.

[huh]

Here's another old Eliminator with the treadmill at the end.



UK Gladiator eliminator for the hell of it.


People on the old show fucking fly compared to the new one.

[Goofy]

fuck man they are FAST.

[Ham n Cheese]

The new eliminator is good because it exhaust people. I put that on the swimming/rope climb combo followed by the hand thing. They should reverse those two and impose a falling penalty. Bring back the spinning balance beam. Don't change the treadmill at the end though, it keeps the show exciting for a comeback even though I'm pretty confident this shit is staged atm for maximum ratings. The swimming thing is just too dangerous, jump as far as you can towards the bar and fire is just asking for bad things to happen. I don't mind them adding a swimming portion as it really tires people out, but jumping towards a bar seems so dangerous. The fire is a good addition though as it makes them go underwater and the bad swimmers come out absolutely winded.

they need to take out that retarded rolling pin thing. I can see it seriously fucking up the contestants by disorienting them and forcing them on the hand bike but right now it doesn't even spin properly.

[Grimmlokk]

Like I posted early in the thread, on the original show by the end of it the contestants were such better athletes than the gladiators it was ridiculous. It stopped being interesting in most events because you knew they were gonna blow the roided up retards out of the water in most events. That's why the early episodes were better, the gladiators were still an intimidating presence. Once they lose that, the show is shit.

[Thorpe]

Instead of a penalty, they should have the hand bike go over the fire!

[Goofy]

Man, i might get flamed but this dude easily puts the american gladiator contestants to shame.

was posted in video thread in screenshots forum.

Holy fucking shit...that Japanese dude was insane. That obstacle course was nuts. Damn straight he makes the Gladiator version look like pussy shit ;p
