WAAAAY better than Detroit vs Dallas

Wow. Have to say, season 2 of Gladiators looks pretty sick. The season premiere was tonight, and it did not disappoint in the slightest. They opened with two of the new events, including Rocket Ball or Rocket Blast or some lame name that doesn't nearly describe the awesomeness of the actual event. Essentially, each of the contestants and two of the gladiators have bungee cords attached to their packs, and when they press a button, they get rocketed up to two baskets suspended in the air. The contestants try to throw balls into the baskets while the gladiators do their best to stop them. The second new event shown, while not nearly as cool, was notable for one reason: it marked the debut of Phoenix. Oh. My. God.



I don't have words for how impressive she was. I was watching it with my brother and a couple of his friends, and I'm pretty sure all our jaws were on the floor. She shut out both of the contestants in the new event, even slowing down to taunt one of them. And it wasn't the normal shitty taunting either, it was actually pretty entertaining.

More on this tomorrow.

I'm interested... Want to see it. But either way, the chicks are way too intimidating to think of in any type of sexual position... especially Helga, who kind of looks like a young slutty Jabba the Hut.
