I already know the answer, but what the hey. Any sign of Moira Quirk? (Or at least another pretty British lady?)

No sign of Moira, but they did get a pretty Australian lady who serves the same purpose. (Name's Asha Kuerton...hosts an MTV show over in Australia.)

How does the scoring work to determine the advantage on the Crag? And how does the Crag work with two people? I'm assuming it's still 4 events plus the Crag since there are only two teams and not three individuals...

I read some of the event descriptions on the site- sounds like they're revamping some of the original events, but have added some new ones as well. Looks like this will be a fun little show to watch...

Each point gets you a 0.1 second head start over the other team on the Crag.

The clip is a bit misleading; the Crag is played with two members of each team. The first member scales their side of the crag, and must hit three actuators. Then, the second member climbs up the rock wall in the center of the Crag to the top. The first one to the top of the crag wins the game.

Just a reminder that this starts tonight- and they're stunting the season it looks like- 5 eps this M-F, 5 next M-F, and the championship next Saturday...

I liked it, although I think I speak for everyone else here when I say they easily could've made an hour show out of this and kept the 4 events + Crag format from the originals. And I still miss Mike and Mo's dynamic chemistry. Other than that, I'll keep watching.

Not bad. Not bad at all. I was glad that they kept the same catchy tune of the original theme, albeit with a harder remix.

Anyone else find the arena extremely quiet during the events?

Loved the show.

weaklink75 · « **Reply #25 on:** September 23, 2008, 10:09:09 PM »

Well I think that the show has gotten a lot better now that they're in the semi-final round (now it's three events plus an expanded 4-player Crag round)....

Speedy G · « **Reply #26 on:** September 24, 2008, 10:09:49 PM »

Yeah, in the semis there are 3 events + crag, and the advertising for the final (excuse me, "Aggro Bowl") calls for 4 events + crag. As in the prelims, it looks like they're sticking to the same event lineup in each semifinal.

Interesting note: regardless of point lead, the head start was capped at 7 seconds in the prelims and at 10 seconds in the semis.

They also seem to have either A) pumped the audience up way too far, or B) turned up the volume on the crowd noise machine.
