Fvckin Bast in rare form today? Keep at it ... Funny stuff..

we dont need hugely muscled freaks (men or women) as gladiators. mike o hearn is a great choice, but anyone bigger than him will simply make it look fake as shit when he's beaten by a scrawny 140lb lawyer.

Why are they trying to make him look like a female bodybuilder? What's up with that bra top?

I think the bigger question is...how long will this last?
Good Hollywood is getting cheesy in remaking old classics...
Bionic Women
Terminator
and now American Gladiators....
What next Cagney and Lacey? Mr Ed??
-
What would you say if Kim became a Gladiator? ;)
I'd pay to see that. ;)

He looks much more feminine than most female bodybuilders.

anybody have any idea of when this show will be on next year? i thought i read it would be on nbc? hard to believe this show will last on a network station and especially if it's on during prime time? maybe it would last for a few episodes out of the curiosity factor?
it should air on usa either before or after wwe or on another night on usa network. or it should air on some other cable network i would think for the highest ratings.
-
NBC - January 2008 - With the writer's strike shows like this are what you can expect on prime time.
Gladiators are signed for 6 years. Will it last that long? We'll have to wait and see.
Tapings of the show start today.

You grossly underestimate the popularity of this show. They're going to have some serious eye candy this time around, too.
-
Gladiators are signed for 6 years.
6 years??
Where'd you hear that??
The original discussion centered around 6 episodes and then 12-13 and then (I've heard) 20.
It's nice to dream, but I'm a realist - I don't see how anyone could've gotten a 6-year contract before the first show was even filmed.
-
Why do you think it got cancelled the 1st time?
What makes it so different this time?
Is the success/failure dependent on the writers strike then?
-
This show sounds more gay than the Wil harris posing routine.

fucking show won't last six minutes...a bunch of roided up freakshows running around in hot pants...

I have a few Mike O ' Hearn nudes that I masturbate to.
Do these guys have the cardiovascular endurance required to survive on the show?

Yes, Six YEARS. Not episodes.

If they are getting 'gladiators' from the cover of Muscle and Fitness then they better be prepared to give away lots of $$$, when i lasted checked BBs were as athletic as Sean Taylor playing next week... :-\

This coming from a bitch who has nothing to lose and everything to prove to the internet community. You took 2000mg of test to looks like soft shit. Dude you are nothing. You are all drugs and you will never be anything. Ohhh god... Cue naked pics in

this shit is too funny...what will they think of next...just what a bunch of normal working people want to see every night...maybe they should do an american gladiator follow up show that shows all the gladiators pumping chemicals into their asses and eating 8 pounds of chicken breast a day...
-

I was thinking the exact same thing...might be better if they let pro athletes in their off-seasons come on and participate

Well, as far as the guys go, O'Hearn is a former all american football player from WA, not to mention a California state judo champion and drug free powerlifting champion. If I'm not mistaken, one of the other guys is a former NFL player who played for the Titans and Falcons.

Incorrect.
Verify with THE RONfather if you doubt me.

All the women are natural, and the guys had to pass pretty extensive drug tests, too.
-

That sounds very sketchy, Lift.
Major TV stars don't even get 6-year deals and it's rare that even a pro athlete does.
Guaranteed 6-year contracts are a rarity in Hollywood, you know.
Someone else will need to corroborate your claim.
-
After seeing the add it confirms that they chose Gladiators that are beatable. I know someone personally that was in the final 8 who did not make the final cut and he is a hell of a lot bigger and better qualified than most. Trust me when I say the folks here at getbig would have been pleased with this cat on the show. I am glad to see the show back on the air but bummed to see my buddy got passed up for some seriously weak ass looking gladiators (Mike O'hearn excluded).
-
24 episodes are being shot during the next 2 - 2/12 weeks, and they will start to air in January, I think. NBC will bring out a press release on who the Gladiators are, the nicknames, the background, and more very shortly, as we saw the first commercials going on the air.
As for the contracts, we have heard they are for six years, and if all goes well, more than one season per year. NBC is taking this show very seriously, and spending a lot on it.
It is nice to see some of our friends being featured prominently on national television.
And yes, we have talked with a number of the Gladiators, but out of courtesty, we are waiting.
-

classic..what's you definition of natural?

My verification comes from sources quite a bit closer to everything than that.
-
On_swole how dare you doubt Ron.
Never doubt The Ron.
-
Lots of rumors and info coming out from various people who were actively trying out for the show, some got in as official Gladiators, some went to training camps, then were let go, some got to the finals stages, and contract negotiations. Perhaps everyone had different stipulations in their deals, and what is expected of them, and what they can and cannot do.
But the show is generating a lot of interest, and that is good for NBC, and for the gladiators involved, some of which are in the figure, fitness and bodybuilding industry.

None of the 4 primary women has ever tested positive for any substance currently banned by the IOC or WADA.

Man, you and Lift are throwing out some very big numbers.
Next, you guys are going to be telling us that each of the 8 main Gladiators will earn an estimated $750,000/year in salary alone.
-

This is totally cool and I'm glad the Gladiators are getting so much attention already, but my question for you is this - how come you and Isaac have said virtually nothing about Kim Lyons' performance on "Biggest Loser"?
What do you have against Kim?
-
She doesn't train at a gym.
Valerie trains at the Cleveland Athletic Club in Cleveland, OH.
-
None of the 4 primary women has ever tested positive for any substance currently banned by the IOC or WADA.
oh..ok..so they beat the tests...fine...don't sit there and state that they are natural...none of that on the screen is natural..go blow smoke up someone else's ass.
-
Biggest Loser? Biggest Loser?
Regarding 24 episodes in 2 - 2.5 weeks. Shouldn't be too hard. although I'm not too sure why they would shoot for such an expedited schedule, but those #'s aren't that hard to achieve.
I'll try and check-out a taping and report back...

Kim is awesome, married to Gunter, very nice, very polite, last saw her at the Olympia backstage, and is a great trainer on that show. Simple as that. And yes, when she started with that show, we did talk about her a lot.
24?? Man, you and Lift are throwing out some very big numbers.
Ok, maybe a bit less, around 14-16... are you happy now! Taping at Sony Studios, 10202 W. Washington Blvd (Enter at Overland Ave Gate), Culver City, CA

You're wrong. Half of them wouldn't even know where to obtain any under-the-counter 'helpers', you ding-dong! ;D

Thanks, Tommy. I look forward to your report!
I suppose it could be done, but depending on how many reserve Gladiators there are, it doesn't seem like they're getting sufficient rest and recovery time. I don't know many people who could engage in serious athletic competition involving contact for several hours a day for 14 days straight and still be able to go at 100%.

What kind of fuzzy math are you doing?
-
What kind of fuzzy math are you doing?
Well, figure that they'll earn ~$5000/episode...just a guess based on these other huge numbers you and Ron are throwing around...so figure they'll shoot 144 episodes in a year (to fulfill these alleged '6-year contracts') and the salary would be $720,000/year...and of course there would be some bonuses, a cut of merchandising, etc.

Kim is great and I spoke at length with Gunter in West Palm Beach. There are many things happening behind-the-scenes on the show. As far as her performance on the show, it goes without saying she does a tremendous job.
Patience grasshopper - you may need to open your wallet.

Your guess is incorrect on what they were offered per episode. 144 episodes in a year? um no. 144 episodes if they did 24 episodes for 6 years, yes.
Those who had good agents could fair well, others who did not have an agent will not see high financial reward.

Why not just wait for the facts to come out before trying to give the impression that you're in the loop on the subject? Everything stated so far is merely speculation from what I assume is hearsay.

I wouldn't comment if I didn't get facts. Hence why no names were mentioned until the commercial broke and why other facts aren't being put out until NBC puts them out.

Tru dat, homie.
