American Gladiators and NYC
January 7, 2008 | Posted by Kiki
‘American Gladiators’ the show is back. It might be the best show on television for New Yorkers.
Let me explain.
About 3 seconds into each of the ‘challenges’ I can feel the blood start pumping through my veins the same way as when I find myself on a subway car that is getting filled up with obnoxious people pushing to get in.
I actually found myself jumping up, cheering on the underdog wondering if I went to the gym 6 days a week for 4 hours a day… how soon could I be talking to Hulk? Don’t worry, I’m WELL on my way.
But first, we have to think about the challenges… quite a few things could be substitutes on this island. ‘Hit and Run’ is very similar to crossing the street, especially at 10th Ave. The average New Yorker deals with ‘The Gauntlet’ a.k.a. subway ride home every night! This is a stretch, but metaphorically we deal with ‘The Wall’ each day at work… someone always trying to pull you down (I know, I know… that’s a weak one)
Here’s the problem though, nothing even comes close to the ‘Eliminator’. Any ideas on how I can train for that?
Anyway, I’m psyched for tomorrow night when we have a new contenders vying to be the next ‘American Gladiator’!
