Forget the Hollywood mess. If I was host, I'd have Wheel tape on C-Island. :)

I watched it. Overall it was pretty entertaining. It was good seeing the same events that I used to watch when I was younger. Those guys were pretty awful at Assault though which was a bummer since I really like that event. Did anyone catch where in Hulk's interview near the end, he used the word brother 5 or 6 times in a sentence?

Hulk overused "brother," gotta admit that. Also admit Assault wasn't as good as the original, but it's still friggin' Assault, gotta love it! Now, if they can get more events into the hour (they had like 7 in the original for both men and women), then it would be even better...

Hulk always over-uses his "brother" phrase...he always has...and always will haha.
I loved it! I watched it with my fiance (who is also a huge Gladiator fan) and we were both very impressed with how they went about re-doing it. I'm kinda bummed that the Eliminator no longer has the Gladiators behind certain walls anymore...but I'm wicked PUMPED that they brought back Assault (my absolute favorite game...dunno why).

I think Assault is EVERY AG fan's favorite game, bar none. It's just too d**n cool. Everyone would wanna take a run through the course and get a chance to, now, send the gladiator FLYINNNN'! ;D
As for the Eliminator, your thoughts are in agreement with myself and many other game show fans S2H. The "4-lane gauntlet" we all thought was one of the best Eliminator obstacles from the original. For season 2, that's a recommendation that would be at the top of my list of "to-do's."
