  • A Pinay won the first episode of American Gladiators! Her name is Venus Ramos. Go look her up on her own Web site at http://www.docvenus.com/. Unfortunately, I could not find her on the American Gladiators Web site at http://www.nbc.com/American_Gladiators/. This is probably because she was a last minute replacement for Jessie Foster, who was injured in the very first event and could not continue with the rest of the competition.

    She showed a lot of heart during the competition and moved with urgency throughout the competition. Her never say die attitude really paid off. She mentioned that her parents came across an ocean to come here, so although I am not sure that she is of Filipino descent, I am pretty confident in my assessment.
