I have a crush on Crush

And I'm not the only one.  Sure, she's my type (as is my wife, I hasten to add), but she's also the least showy of the American Gladiators.  When asked if they are ready, most Gladiators give some sort of hyped-up response.  She just says, "Yeah," and then knocks the poor contestants into the water.  I like that about her Crush character.  The real person behind Crush is Gina Carano, a current Mixed Martial Arts competitor (interview).  You know, when she's not trying her best to keep a straight face or being serenaded on set.

I don't know if it says more about me or you that I don't feel like I can stoop so low as to watch AG. :) And this from a guy who remembers the first installment of MTV's The Real World....

@map - It would be much more of a comment on your standards if you were watching the current season of Real World. Their casting call should read: "Beautiful, dumb monkeys wanted."

@danny - I haven't seen the latest incarnation of AG, but I loved the original. Tennis ball cannon? What else do you need.

Danny,
I've got the biggest crush on Crush. I've been a fan of AG since the original. She's easily the best part of the newer version. She's so striking that she has turned me into a fan of women's MMA.

What a babe.

And I thought this was going to be about soda. . . .
