List Of American Gladiators Events
Throughout each version, the television series American Gladiators (and the subsequent 2008 revival) has featured a total of 23 of events in which its contenders competed. In some events, both contenders from each gender compete simultaneously against two or more gladiators in a single event. Other events feature contenders facing-off one-on-one against a single gladiator. In The Eliminator, the final event of each episode, the contenders compete against each other directly, with minimal participation by the gladiators.
Points are awarded to contenders based upon their performance in each event. In the initial 1989 season, points were awarded in multiples of five, up to a 100-point maximum for each event. Beginning in the second season and continuing through the 2008 revival, points are awarded to a general maximum of 10 points per event.
From 1989–1996, the number of events featured on each episode varied by season, with six events per episode in season one, seven events in seasons two and three, and eight events in seasons four and five. Season one of the 2008 version featured five events in preliminary rounds and six events in later rounds. Beginning on the third episode of season two, seven events were featured in the preliminary rounds and all subsequent rounds.

“My list of things I never pictured myself saying when I pictured myself as a parent has grown over the years.”
—Polly Berrien Berends (20th century)
“Religious literature has eminent examples, and if we run over our private list of poets, critics, philanthropists and philosophers, we shall find them infected with this dropsy and elephantiasis, which we ought to have tapped.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Success is somebody else’s failure. Success is the American Dream we can keep dreaming because most people in most places, including thirty million of ourselves, live wide awake in the terrible reality of poverty.”
—Ursula K. Le Guin (b. 1929)
“There is much to be said in favour of modern journalism. By giving us the opinions of the uneducated, it keeps us in touch with the ignorance of the community. By carefully chronicling the current events of contemporary life, it shows us of what very little importance such events really are. By invariably discussing the unnecessary, it makes us understand what things are requisite for culture, and what are not.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
