Gladiators 2000

Gladiators 2000 is a spin-off of the original long-running American Gladiators series, hosted by Ryan Seacrest and Maria Sansone and following four child athletes who compete against each other in teams of two to conquer a series of intense physical challenges while also proving their smarts during several educational segments. This series began in 1994, while the original American Gladiators was still broadcasting new episodes, entertaining audiences across the country with intense competitions between amateur athletes and professional body builders like Nitro, Laser, Ice, Blaze, and Zap. In this series, the format is changed to feature younger contestants who work in cooperation with a Gladiator to work their way to the finish. While the format is different, several of the classic events are still used in this show, such as the Wall, Assault, and of course, the Eliminator. Gladiators 2000 is a fun and informative series about young student-athletes competing to prove not only their physical skills, but their mental ones, too. MORE
