Results, American Gladiators 1st Half Blow by Blow
Posted by prettysleepy on May 13, 2008
The first episode of Season two is a double episode. This is a summary of the first half and it’s events. Rocket didn’t make an appearance yet, but Jet did. I’m expecting Rocket (Evan) to show up for the second half.
Male Contestants:
Randee Haynes, Construction worker, Married w/two kids. 5′8″ 170 lbs.
Jesus Jay Martinez, 40-yr-old, police officer & SWAT team, from New Jersey. 6′ 191 lbs.
Female Contestants:
Melissa Trinidad single mom & martial arts instructor, from Brandon, Florida. 5′1″, 111 lbs.
Elena Maskalik a single, 22-yr-old Firefighter originally from Ukraine, currently resides in Foster City, California. 5′6″ 143 pounds.
For the males, the first event of season 2 was Rocket Ball. Randee and Jay went up against Wolf and Toa. The Gladiators and Contenders each have their own button which shoots them up into the air. The contenders have to get the ball in the baskets while the Gladiators try to stop them. All this is happening while they are suspended from cables.
Elena and Melissa went up against Crush and Venom on the Pyramid. The contenders had no luck getting past the Gladiators. Crush looked like she was going to break poor Elena’s neck.
The next event, Hang Tough, Randee teased Wolf by saying, “Who’s afraid of the big bad wolf?” That was funny. They said they made Hang Tough twice as big. Wolf and Randy both ended up going for a swim, Randy gets 5 points! Randee is funny; he did a little dance and stuck his tongue out at Wolf. Now it’s time for the Swat time guy Jay to go against Wolf. Jay has a little bit of an advantage because Wolf is tired from round one. But it doesn’t matter; he gets taken down really quick.
The girls go against Crush in Joust. Elena got knocked off after a beating. I’m surprised the girl didn’t drown when she hit the water after that beating. Melissa is so tiny, she got knocked off pretty quick.
On the Gauntlet, the SWAT officer went against Titan, Toa, Militia and Justice. Jay seems like he has a lot of adrenaline going. He made it though with great time. Randee is next on the Gauntlet. I like him. I hope he wins, he’s so funny and has a great attitude. Too bad, he was stopped by Justice. Afterwards Randee held his children and he asked, “Did you see the big man push me down and make it hurt?”
Melissa goes against Helga on assault. She got four points then got taken out. My son is convinced Hellga is really a boy. Elena held her ‘ball shooter’ the wrong way. She was aiming for Hellga but it shot out behind her and almost took out the camera man. Oops.
Justice and Titan put on a show on the pyramid. Poor Randy looked worried going up against titan. The SWAT guy held on tight at the top and Justice finally knocked him back down. You could tell the contenders were exhausted when they ran out of time laying on the ground at the bottom of the pyramid.
Monica Carlson came out for the Wall, behind Elena. Monica is a new Gladiator called Jet. She got quite an entrance. She didn’t stop Elena, not even close. Melissa slipped and fell off the wall.
Randy won on the eliminator. He really kicked butt! Jay fell way behind. The girls both had trouble finishing. It looked like they may have made the event too difficult.

I liked Jay, he had the attitude and the drive, on the pyramid I ahve never seen anybody go so high and Justice could not bring him down that quick. Gauntley, man he rocked it.
