i guess you were too busy to try out then , otherwise im sure you would have shown them
Got through all the physical stuff, put out at the 'personality' stage, which was where they wanted someone who had a 'story'. Not someone who trains seriously and doesn't have a family, they want a weekend warrior who the families watching the show can relate to, as it's a family show. If you saw who they picked and who they didn't at that stage you wouldn't be such a smart ass.
That was for challangers, for gladiators they wanted names. Sorry i'm not famous.
If you need me to draw a picture for you of how it happened i'll try.
