Tatum's really cute - shame she didn't qualify. Don't forget to watch the next episode on Monday night.

Here's a great video of Phoenix (aka Jennifer Widerstrom) leg-crushing some poor competitor on "Hang Tough" on "American Gladiators".

Phoenix Flexes: Wow!TV.com has a bunch of photos of Phoenix from "American Gladiators" - who is played by Jennifer Widerstrom - mislabeled as being Valerie Waugaman, who plays Siren. In the photo at right, Widerstrom flexes one those amazing arms - look at that bulging biceps! Wow!

Phoenix has probably got the most amazing body on a show full of people with amazing bodies. She's obviously solid as a rock but still manages to be shaped like a pin-up. If there was a co-ed version of the show, I'd train and try out for "American Gladiators" just in the hope of getting banged around by Phoenix (but since there's not I'll just stay comfortable here on my couch).

I've noticed that Phoenix has rapidly become the most popular gladiator on this site and on the web, so hopefully that popularity will translate into success for Jennifer Widerstrom.

Here are the two TV.com galleries - one and two - they completely confused Widerstrom and Waugaman.

I wish they did a Gina Carano one. [Pouts.]
