American Gladiators Blog

Here are two tribute videos made for Crush that I found on youtube.

I found these two tribute videos on Youtube about Phoenix. I have no idea what the songs are. They are pretty heavy metal. I’d turn the volume down on the second song, though. Yuck.

TIM OLIPHANT, AGE: 33 HEIGHT: 5′8″ WEIGHT: 147 lbs, MARITAL STATUS: Single, SPORTS: Ultimate Frisbee, soccer and football, PROFESSION: Media Director

Tim Oliphant is a 33-year-old media director for Kanakuk Kamps in Branson, Missouri. He loves working with kids, is very religious, and believes his father is a hero. Oliphant is a very likable guy who loves competition and is always looking for a challenge, whether it is joining a choir just to try it or running a marathon without training.

Ally Davidson, Age 24, married, Sales Representative

She is the winner of Season two, American Gladiators.

Ally Davidson is married to fellow contender Jeff Davidson. Hailing from Dallas, Texas, she is a 24-year-old sales representative. Ally tried out for American Gladiators on her wedding day in her wedding veil, a move that her more conservative husband probably wouldn’t have approved of had he known. Ally once broke her neck in a nearly fatal skiing accident. She has made a full recovery and is ready to take on the competition. Read the women’s play-by-play .

Ally’s husband, Jeff, signed up with her on their honeymoon to be in the show. He continued on into the semi-finals: During the eliminator, Jeff caught up to James on the cargo net but swung too hard across the rope swing. He slammed onto the base and slipped off. He climbed back up, his eye bleeding, and made it across the hand bike and log. He crashed into James at the base of the pyramid and flew BACKWARDS down the zipline! My kids were very impressed with that move. He stumbled off the seesaw and missed the travelator a few times. Jeff came in 2nd at (1:59.94) but it was an amazing effort (click here for recap). When his wife won the finals, he dove into the water to congratulate her.

Tim Oliphant and Ally Davidson are the season two winners. Tim got hurt a few times, ending up with stitches on his eye and a cut on his arm. Ally was super fast on the eliminator. She originally signed up with her husband.

Tim has the record fastest eliminator time. He suprised me by speeding up the wall ahead of Rocket, who is super fast on the wall. Tim also got past Titan on the pyramid three times, which is very impressive. It was funny during the finals, Titan wanted to stop Tim in the worst way. He dove at Tim and missed, clobbering Toa in the process. This resulted in both Tim and Mike Gamble getting to the top. You can watch a clip below of the final episode or  Watch the entire show here.

Here we are with the American Gladiators Semi Finals. Alexander Coats gets a dislocated finger again and is replaced by my favorite contender, Brick. Tim Oliphant has the record time on the eliminator and is the first contender to get to the top of pyramid. Ally Davidson is up against Vanessa Warren. Beast will make his first appearance and the new game atlasphere (hamster- ball) is introduced. Beast come out an quicly knocks Tim and Brick off during Joust. In powerball the ladies do really good and avoid injury.

Eliminator results for round 1 of the semi-finals:

I can’t believe how fast Tim Oliphant is! He finished in 1 minutet 17 seconds and broke his own record. He makes it look easy. Brick finished with a super fast time, too. He had a bad deal going up against Tim.

Ally Davidson wins it with a time of 2 minutes 7 seconds. She beat her previous time by one second.

Four more men and four more women are to battle for the finals.

Watch this preview video below of the American Gladiators Semi-finals. Brick Reilly prepares to battle BEAST who is the new seven-foot-tall Gladiator, the biggest of them all, weighing well over three hundred pounds. I really liked Brick, I hope he doesn’t get hurt!

Beast makes his first appearance here and tells Brick, “You’re mine Junior!”

Brick says, “Thank god I’m a little bit crazy, that’s one big dude over there. I’m still gonna bring it. I’m not shaking in my boots. Let’s go.”

Unfortunately, the clip ends just before the battle begins:

Most Popular Male and Female Gladiator Winners: Hurricane and Phoenix

I’m sorry to say that because my “Wordpress Polls plug-in” updated, all my poll data went into an invisible toilet somewhere (It’s gone now). I am so mad! Hurricane and Phoenix were way ahead so let’s say they won. There is no way that anyone could have caught up with Hurricane. I was surprised by this. I thought that Wolf would have won. Crush was closing in on Phoenix, though. But still, Phoenix was ahead when my WP Poll plug in upgraded and died a terrible death (I hate these software upgrades).

Last night’s American Gladiators decided who will move on to the semi-finals. It was announced that a new gladiator will appear next week: seven-foot-tall Matt Morgan as BEAST.

The contestants were ANTHONY PAGNOTTA against ALEXANDER COATS and TATUM YOUNT against ADRIANA POSADAS

Alexander Coats is the only contender moving on to the Semi-finals coming in sixth on the eliminator scoreboard.

Beast will be unleashed next week on American Gladiators during the semi-finals. Click here for video of his first appearance.

Matt Morgan is BEAST, HEIGHT: 7′0″ WEIGHT: 310 lbs

“Half-man, half-monster and the biggest thing to hit the Gladiator Arena by far, The Beast leaves every contender who faces him a changed man forever. Beyond big, badder than bad and absolutely immovable, The Beast competes without an ounce of mercy and obliterates everything unlucky enough to cross his path.”

Matthew Thomas “Matt” Morgan (born September 10, 1976) is an American professional wrestler, currently working for Total Nonstop Action Wrestling. From 2002-2005 he signed a developmental deal with World Wrestling Entertainment and he wrestled as “The Blueprint” Matt Morgan. Matt Morgan toured with New Japan Pro Wrestling in late 2005, defeating Yuji Nagata in his debut match. He was being pushed as a “monster gaijin” and along with Brock Lesnar, was expected to become one of NJPW’s top foreign wrestlers, but plans for this were abandoned when Matt Morgan decided to leave NJPW to go to All Japan Pro Wrestling. Morgan debuted in Total Nonstop Action Wrestling on the August 7, 2007 episode of TNA Today. In 2008, Morgan accepted an offer to appear on the second series of American Gladiators as one of the Gladiators. He will perform under the name Beast. (Click here to visit his official website)
