  • The arena is ready. The contestants have done all the preparation they can. The American Gladiators are primed to defend with all their might. It's an all-out battle in this episode to see which contestants move closer to the title of American Gladiators champion!
    In the women's preliminary, it's Margaret McCargo, a student from East Orange, New Jersey vs. Susan Hirst, an Air Force Captain from Glendale Arizona. In the men's preliminary, it's Chris Vopatek, a bouncer from La Jolla, California vs. Purple Roundy, a personal trainer from Phoenix, Arizona.
    Powerball: Contenders try to score points by depositing balls into baskets and avoid being tackled by three Gladiators.
    Joust: The Gladiator and contender face off for 30 seconds on elevated platforms. They must knock each other off with pugil sticks.
    Assault: The contender must attempt to hit a target while a Gladiator shoots at them using a tennis ball cannon.
    The Wall: The contenders attempt to scale a rock climbing wall, being chased by Gladiators.
    Human Cannonball: Two Gladiators stand on pedestals, and the contenders attempt to swing towards them and knock them off.
    Atlasphere: The contenders and Gladiators battle in spherical metal cages. The contenders must stand on scoring pods while the Gladiators try to stop them.
    The Eliminator: The Eliminator is an obstacle course spanning the arena, the winner of which advances to the next round of the competition.

    These first two episodes in the new season show how much of a work in progress Atlasphere was at the start. Incline of the pods was too steep, area to settle in them too small. And what was up with that random hill in the middle that didn't do anything? Nope, nope, and nope. Next taping would fix all that. But still a measly 1 point a goal in the prelims. Ah well.

    • @Tubewings
      @Tubewings 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Another thing that only lasted for this particular taping was in the Joust, the blue contender stood on the blue platform against the Gladiator, while the red contender stood on the red platform. Afterwards, the standard contender on blue, Gladiator on red would be seen.

    Warning- The gladiators and contestants are highly trained athletes and have a lifetime of experience, but they are not invincible. Bodies have been broken, necks broken, concussions inflicted, lives shattered, and careers ended in an instant. Although it is entertainment, the hazards are real, and the contestants and gladiators take real risks, endure unimaginable pain, and put their bodies, their careers, and their lives on the line.
    Don't risk yours!
    Be Smart!
    Be Safe!
    PLEASE DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME, SCHOOL OR ANYWHERE ELSE!!!
