After twelve long years, American Gladiators returned to TV last night. It was far too epic to be covered by just one man, so this morning I sat down with Dan Gurewitch, Sarah Schneider and Patrick Cassels to discuss Hulk Hogan and his army of spandex-clad beasts.
Jeff: Well, was it worth the wait?

Justice, I'm pretty sure.
Dan: I think new gladiator Toa expressed the passion borne from years of absence the best when he said "Oota bata oota zuga numa bata yama zuga boota botta yama zata fukka."
Jeff: Fifteen minutes in I thought Hellga was a front runner for future Surreal Life participant, but after watching two hours I'm almost positive it's going to be Wolf.
Sarah: Was anyone else completely disappointed by Hellga's performance?
Dan: She could talk the talk, but she couldn't large foam square the large foam square.
Sarah: It just goes to show you: gladiators should never wear skirts.
Dan: I think Sarah wants to talk about Titan. I say this because her legs are quivering.
Sarah: My blonde Gaston? He's a real-life Disney prince. Everytime he looked at the camera and flexed, I melted a little inside.
Jeff: Titan is so smug. He's like a character Conan O'Brian slips into for 10 second spurts.
Patrick: Unlike the rest of the Gladiators, who are nothing but humility.
Sarah: He can't help it, it's his chiseled jaw's fault.
Sarah:
