I watched the first three episodes (two yesterday, hey, no keyboard, and one tonight). I was surprised. With NBC and all, I expected the worst. But the hype and trash talk and all that is much less than I thought it would be, and the show… actually feels like American Gladiators.
It’s worth it just to watch the treadmill at the end of the Eliminator notch kill after kill, just like in the original series after the treadmill was moved to the end. Having the classic events returned is just a bonus.
I just hope they get rid of the fire swimming part of the Eliminator, and add Atlasphere.
