Don’t forget to wear your cup on the Eliminator
So, I’ve kind of been watching American Gladiators. A little bit. For what it’s worth, I’m only 20% paying attention — I’m usually distracting myself on the computer or eating something or doing a scrimshaw.
There’s not a whole lot to it. If you remember watching American Gladiators , the show is pretty much the same. Only this time around, you’re the one who’s changed. You’re more aware of what’s going on and it’s obvious that the contestants have been coached to act super-psycho and delusionally over-confident. And they say silly catchphrases and the crowd cheers unnaturally hard, with their veins bulging. You can practically see the production assistant doing the upward arm motions to make them cheer louder.
I don’t really have enough to say about American Gladiators to constitute an entire post, so how about a little game? Below, there’s a list of words. You’ve got to figure out whether the word is the name of an American Gladiator or a refreshing soda/energy drink.
- Vault
- Blast
- Surge
- Crush
