I loved that show when I was a kid. Are they making them climb over the big padded wall? 'Cause that rocked.
Spike: I'm not a monster. Xander: Yes! You are a monster. Vampires are monsters! They make monster movies about them! Spike: Well, yeah. Got me there.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Yeah, they're doing all sorts of reminiscing and showing clips of the old version.

They have Omarosa as a correspondent, interviewing Jonathan, who was apparently quite an asshole on TAR. (I didn't watch.)
I think my TV might be turning into a black hole of evil.
Now there's a dunk tank.

I'm hoping that they play "Simon Says." That was always my favorite event from the original Battles.

I mute the TV whenever He-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named (tm TWoP forums) starts flapping his yap. It is amusing to see how much he's annoying the other participants, though. (And his wife/doormat, Victoria, is surprisingly athletic.)

Oh, my god, the guy doing the play-by-play is the guy who did the play-by-play for American Gladiators.
Not that I used to watch it.

I think you've been trapped in the crap TV event horizon longer than half an hour, Dana.

Um.
I think I left my excuse in my other pants. Along with my dignity.

You know what are expensive? Inoculations for Kenya.
You know what's odd? Being told "Don't eat the ice or fresh vegetables -- stick to hot, cooked foods -- you're from Jamaica. You know this!"
WTF? Do you think I grew up without ice and fruits (I did try to pass at the fresh veggies, I admit)?
