image I just watched Son take on the Gladiators in the remake of the 80's show American Gladiators.  The show was pretty entertaining for the most part, and seeing someone you know bashing being thrown down a foam mountain is pretty intense.   Son's competitor was in crazy shape though.  He was the fastest person through the Eliminator, with Son not far behind.  This is where I thought the show kinda stunk.  Even if Son beat one of the top 4 times, he still "lost" because the person he went up against beat him.  I just think this could be a point to where the contestants could compete against the top 4 and not each other - might have some surprising things happen if that were the case.

I thought it was a bit unfair because they also never had to directly compete.  It was always the Gladiators against the two contestants and if you look at the competition where you have to run through the Gladiators Son went through the first 2 way faster than his competitor but got stuck on the last two dudes and didn't even make it to the end.  Again on the pyramid, Son had a few shots but got trapped up because of his opponent. 

I'm making a few excuses but we wanted him to win :)

The show was pretty entertaining, but just seemed unfair to the contestants in certain ways.  Almost to a point to where it seemed almost lucky that a person won a competition, not because they had more skill or endurance.  After the show I wondered how some other racquetball players would have done.  Mainly was thinking Dan Obremski and Jack Huczek.  Would be interesting...
