American Gladiators

After last nights second "episode" of American Gladiators, I was left somewhat unsettled. The interviews are really starting to sound scripted...as everything is now a days on all these "reality tv" things. Now I don't have a problem with this but I'm starting to think if the "competition" is scripted as well.

For some reason it doesn't matter if a person has a 2 second lead or a 2 minute lead when it comes to the gauntlet at the end...there has been 3 instances in the 6 races so far in which the person with the lead gets way ahead but can not for the life of them get up the "travelator" and then of course the person who was behind catches up and somehow...makes it up the "travelator" to a stunning, dramatic, impossible, all-odds against them, you cant write endings like this victory. Leaves me wondering...
