Wow, you posted this prediction as a joke and it turned out to be right!

A joke? What are you talking about? I was dead serious!

Did anybody else get the impression that the final round was fixed? There were 4 events and Alex had never even competed in two of them. The wall was also in there, and Evan was a rock climbing teacher. So 3 out 4 events he had a clear edge. The joust is just pathetic with these pip squeak contenders. I would like to know when the events for the finals were chosen.

I’m glad Monica won, though. She was hot.[/quote]

That was BS. If they were going to do the wall, they should have included earthquake for good measure. I’m pretty sure Alex had competed in all the events. He had won hang tough before, you might be right about the pyramid, but he did get to the top of the wall before I believe… I don’t remember what the other events were now though… actually, I think it said he had competed in joust before too… if someone would just duck on that first head shot from O’Hearn, they’d be able to light him up.

I’m kinda mad that powerball wasn’t on. The pyramid is garbage compared to powerball. Also, I wanted the firefighter who lost to Evan in the semi round to win, too bad he didn’t.

I’ve been cheering for monica since I first saw her. But that agent thing sounds kinda sketchy now. It seems like they held the other girl at the bottom of the handbike for a couple seconds longer too!

They said before the events that he had never competed in Assault or Pyramid. In pyramid I don’t think the experience was that big of deal, but in Assault it would certainly have been beneficial.

O’hearn was intentionally going to his knees in joust and the ref didn’t even care. The chick in blue did the same thing. Cheater

The female gladiator never even moved away from the platform on hang tough either.
