ready for battle. With these actions being far from funny and closer to ridiculous, the “gladiators” are shadowed by the comedic half of the “audience” who’s purpose is to laugh at all the actions of the show and occasionally crack a sour joke over the host’s hand held microphone. When all seems to fail and energy is at crucial levels, for ratings sake, the “power suppliers” come to the rescue. They are the portions of the audience that feed the show its energy. The “power suppliers” gives off the energy of claps, facial expressions, and any combination of gestures that gets the message across. They manipulate whispers, oohs, aahs, boos, ohs, laughs, cheers, and whatever additional sounds or loquacious racket that strikes up the thoughts and tempers of the guests (panel guests and/or gladiator guests). The damaging effect this type of show can have on children is unlimited. Children are likely to take on the bad habits and personas that are presented. Ebonics, indecent acts, bad lauange and fights are immensely present and never-ending in nearly all of the episodes. The very things that one tries to instill, as being wrong, is staring their children right in the face and influencing them to adopt those actions when similar situations occur. The guests are filled with ego and when the walls of their facades come tumbling down, the ego trip fades from narcissism to nonchalant faster than the ratings skyrocket from your children’s viewing pleasure....
