Do you have good shoes? A reflective vest? What about a stick for dangerous dogs on the loose? Be careful out there!!

I wear a bulletproof vest when I jog.  You can never be too careful!

I have a chrome glock on each hip.  The way they shine in the headlights is just sensational.

The burning question is this:

Why would the producers purposefully produce such a crappy, unwatchable program?

Not yet, sir. 

I *want* an S3, because I can still appreciate Crush, Siren, Venom, Phoenix, and Jet, but haven't even watched this one, because they made it worse than S1.

No, it still may be cancelled, but for NBC, about 5 million people watch is weekly, which isnt bad for this type of show.  Yes, it isnt high numbers, but it you look at network television right now, the cost of this show isnt as expensive as others.  Look for a Season 3.

That doesn't mean anything.  And I don't know who that person is but if she is just talent she will be the last one to know when it gets cancelled.  They can cast but that still doesn't mean they will be picked up.  Some of these decisions are made without any notice.

"Season Three"??   Didn't this show just start like six or seven months ago?  How the hell could they have completed one season, let alone two?  What exactly do they consider a "season"?  ::)

Having a "season 2" was a little deceptive being that both seasons were in the same callender year....

I'm ok with them calling each mini-camp a 'season'.

What I'm not ok with is describing this garbage as a 'TV show'.

Survivor is up to Season 16 or something, but I think the show has been on the air 9 years?

As for Gladiators, there is currently an Australian Gladiators that is on, and also a UK Gladiators that is being taped now.  These other shows are also new.

The Australian Gladiators have Amazon, Angel, Bionica, Destiny, Nitro, Olympia, and Viper as the female gladiators, and Hunter, Kouta, Nomad, Outlaw, Scar, Tank and Thunder as the male gladiators.

The UK Gladiators have Battleaxe, Enigma, Ice, Inferno, Panther, and Tempest has the current female gladiators, and Atlas, Destroyer, Oblivion, Predetor, Spartan, and Tornado as the male gladiators.


As for the American Gladiators, they have Crush, Hellga, Jet, Phoenix, Siren, Steel, Venom, Fury and Stealth as the female gladiators, and Justice, Militia, Rocket, Titan, Toa, Wolf, Zen and Mayhem as the male gladiators...


Look out for an International meeting one day, or a Gladiators on the road event...

I truly hope you copied/pasted that, because if you actually have all that gladiator info memorized, you seriously need to seek help.  :-\

You just realized I need help now. Jeez.

Denmark had the Danish Gladiators in 2003, featuring names like Athene, Cobra, Medusa, Nikita, Trixy, Ninja, Hector, Matrix, Rex, Scorpio, Taurus.

Germany has the German Gladiators in 1995, featuring names like Flash, Giant, Power.

Russian Gladiators (who competed in the International Series) had names like Astra, Baghera, Lynx, Comet, Colossus, Dynamite, Goliath, Spider and Viking.

Swedish Gladiators include Amber, Diva, Elektra, Embla, Etha, Furia, Atilla, Hero, Izor, Loke, Plexus, Python, Raptor, Tamook, and Zeke.

Finland had their Gladiators including Barbi, Safirri, Skorpioni, Timanite, Hurrikani, Barbarri, Lalli, Vikkinni, Torpedo, Retu, and Mohikanni.

Nigeria had their Gladiators including Breeze, Razor, Jaguar, Terminator, Falcon, Bulldozer, Hippo, Hotdog, Titanic and T-Rex.

And South Africa has their Gladiators including Ivory, Delilah, Diamond, Fire, Force, Fox, Gazelle, Gold, Jazz, Lightning, Nightshade, Quartz, Sahara, Shadow, Sheena, Impi, Jackal, Rhino, Samson, Wildebeest, Turk, Warrior, Sting, and Shaka.

And many of the countries Gladiators had the same names sometimes, which I didnt feel like putting down.

A show is not based on how little it costs to produce.  What matters is how much it will make in advertising dollars right now.  And unless there number go up and demographics are there to generate the ad dollars it will be gone.

Not likely to watch that or the Denise Richards show either.

A pack of schmoes filming a single model is more entertaining to watch.
