And third, a completely new Gladiator known as "Phoenix":
(don't worry, she doesn't wear the wings when she plays)

The only three old gladiators not on the roster so far are Mayhem, Stealth and Fury. You should check out the videos on the NBC website. There are some awesome previews and commercials there. Supposedly at some point this season they will introduce a new 7 ft tall gladiator they call the Beast. There are also a couple of new events and they've brought back Atlasphere for sometime this season.

There was too much other stuff on tv last night for me to fit this in. I'll see if they have it online and watch it if I'm bored!

Thanks LadyT, I watched it at nbc. Jet was pretty authentic, but I'm not sure there are many events they can use the Rocket for. Climbing mostly! The guy with the prosthetic leg did great to finish. I guess he came in knowing even if he was ahead there was no way he could compete in the eliminator. I'm glad they let him play anyway. And what bright spark decided to put the water at the end of the eliminator?! So they're nearly dead and then they have to swim to the edge?! No wonder the first guy needed the divers to help him!

I think the divers will definitely earn their pay.

The eliminator is going to separate the winners from the humans... Sheesh. By the end of last season, it did seem to easy though, so it's good they made it harder.

Last time around I Tivo'd the whole season and watched it all in a weekend. It was kinda nice to not have to wait week to week. I may do that again this time.

Last show was very telling that they shoot each challenge on a different day. I think that one guy had a different hair style for each challenge! LOL.

I think they do all the same challenges for the different competitor matchups on the same day (so all the Swings, all the Rockwalls are done on the same day). Maybe they did these first set of competitions over a week or two? Or over a few weekends? Probably do two or three different challenges (so they use all the different Gladiators and those "working" a certain challenge get a chance to rest - cause some ALWAYS do the same one). The Gauntlet at the end is a major set up so I can totally see them doing that on one day for all the matchups. Then maybe the finals are done over another weekend?
P.S. Next up: Married Couples!

They basically did this: each day they taped one or two events for half of the first round (5 shows). After all the events had been taped, they then did the Eliminators for the first 5 shows in one day. Then after a couple of days rest, they did the 2nd set of 5 shows in the same way-then they did the semifinals in 2 or three days then the finals in 2 or three days, since they could break down the sets faster. That's also why Siren didn't make her first event apperance until this week- she was hurt in practice, and was held out for the tapings for the first 5 shows.
