If you're looking for fair competition between gladiators and normal guys, this is not the place. And it shouldn't be. BattleDome pits juiced up thugs against guys who do not stand a chance, just so we as viewers get to watch some butt get kicked.
Honestly, there's nothing like watching Bubba King kick some poor sap repeatedly in the head, and nothing's sexier than Karen Ko making kissyface for the camera.
But what makes this show head and shoulders above anything similar, besides the extreme competition that resulted in a warrior's leg being broken LIVE ON TV, are the commentators. Scott Farrell is simply brilliant. His absurdist observations and commentary is unbelievably entertaining. Take this classic one-liner that Farrell spouted during an event, "I was going to order some spaghetti, and then my foot fell asleep." You'd think he was Samuel Beckett.
BattleDome is beautiful women, fierce beat-downs, and cartoonish plots all rolled into one television extravaganza.
Be warned, however: the first season beats the second hands down. During the second season, they virtually eliminated the pro wrestling-like antics in favor of a more American Gladiators-styled approach. They also tamed down the events due to all of the injuries in the first season. Don't waste your time with the second season.
