Ball Pit
The ball pit made its debut in season 7 of the original American Gladiators and returned for season 2 of the 2008 revival.
The original series used two ball pits as its fourth obstacle. Once reached, the contenders had to wade through one pit, climb out, and then dive into another and wade through it before climbing a wall to get out. In the 2008 series, the ball pit was used as a penalty for falling off the handbike and in order to advance to the next obstacle the contender had to find a way out.

Famous quotes containing the words ball and/or pit:
“Any balance we achieve between adult and parental identities, between children’s and our own needs, works only for a time—because, as one father says, “It’s a new ball game just about every week.” So we are always in the process of learning to be parents.”
—Joan Sheingold Ditzion, Dennie, and Palmer Wolf. Ourselves and Our Children, by Boston Women’s Health Book Collective, ch. 2 (1978)
“The great snake lies ever half awake, at the bottom of the pit of the world, curled
In folds of himself until he awakens in hunger and moving his head to right and to left prepares for his hour to devour.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
