So,
I was scared watching American Gladiators this time around. Why? Why was i scared? NOT for the fact that for the FIFTH Monday in a row I’ve tuned in to watch these people make an ass of them self and listen to the commentators say better bullsh*t than the week before, BUT instead i was scared because i was actually paying attention to the competition, developing a favorite, and then…then…cheering for said favorite?
Crazy right…Ah well, sad to say if you missed this weeks episode you missed something KEY to the competitive aspect of the show but i was a bit disappointed by the work on the writers behalf. BUT no fear, they did leave us with a few classics as always and we at AH (Absohilare) never skip a beat on those. In no specific order:
1) As Tony takes a serious hit while trying to make her way through the Gauntlet the commentator spewed, ” Tony was taken to the School of Hard Knocks…and the subject was POWERBALL.” Oh Gimme a Break!
2) “Cracking the back of the chiropractor.” Could’ve done without.
3) “Sound the alarm because we’re never tiring of siren.” Never what?! Tiring? PMO!
4) I’ve just about had enough of this Wolf guy and his constant howling. He also needs to realize he is a man (NOT an actual wolf), and to hint to another man, “I missed my first meal, and i don’t miss two in a row” is not cool, at all.
5) Now truly Hellga does not scare me, at all. She looks A LOT like (Please Click) Little Debbie after consuming too much of her own product. Am I Lying?
6a) One thing that had me rolling was watching the WORST performance in the Eliminator ever. I don’t know if anyone else watching realized this but Kim took SOO LONG to make her way through the eliminator they TURNED THE TRAVELLATOR OFF!! (as in when she got to the Travellator, all she had to do was grab the rope and WALK up!
6b) So now after a less than SHAMEFUL showing she did the “Amp the crowd up” move that people/teams who did/are on the verge of doing something spectacular use. *Waves hands up and down from waist to above head* while saying, ” thanks guys! I tried!”. No FOOL! You can’t use that move with that line! You sucked!
All in all a fair episode and with Semi-Finals next week I’m looking for the writers to say some of the madness of old.
