5 reasons why I have a crush on Crush

I love love Love Gina Carano. I've managed to catch most of her fights, on tv or online. She's fantastic and rather funny. I also love the fact that she didn't really take on a personality for American Gladiators. All other gladiators growl or whoop grandstanding, she's just kind "Hi, I'm Gina." and yet she's insanely popular. She seems down to earth, and yet she can kick your ass.

She was the only reason I watched Fight Girls as well.

 Gina Carano is so earthy and real besides her being super sexy and nicely toned.  Yeah, I agree, she does have great boobs.

I didn't know last night was the lastshow before next season. I missed it. Rats!

Was i the only one that thought Gina gave Monica the 'Hey sexy, what's up' look?? she did it like 3 times too! i'd personally LOVE to see Gina Carano and Monica get the hookup. too bad Monica is married :(

Gina (Crush) is the only reason why I watched this show. Now, next season I have two reasons. Gina and the new American Gladiator Monica Carlson, Monica is just, wow, what an woman. Actually I love all the women on American Gadiator.

I'm going to go take a shower now...ahaha! :D mmmmhmmm!

haha I watched this season for one reason: CRUSH.

She is the hottest.  I love her fighting videos as well.

Oh, and you should add to your list:

6)  The mouthguard-smirk

7)  The way she dances to "Another One Bites the Dust"

I haven't seen all of the American Gladiator episodes, but when i have caught an episode, i don't really pay attention until Carano is on the screen. As a girl who's a martial arts practitioner, i have a strong respect for her insane skills (seriously, just watch ten seconds of any MMA fight she's been in and you'll just be thankful you're not in a ring with her). She seems pretty down to earth, too, which just makes it all that much better.

But yes I agree Crush is definitely hot.

I couldn't agree more. I had no idea who Carano was before watching this show but for some reason I had this strange impression that she was less fake than the others and of course the stunning beauty (from my point of view!) is a definite plus! Then I realised that the reason why I liked her is certainly the fact that I recognized in her the fighter in the martial art sense of the term... but anyway Go Gina!!!!!!!

"I'm gonna give you all a nice, fun, normal evening even if I have to kill every person on the face of the Earth to do it"

yeah, you definitely gotta see gina in an mma fight. also I like her a lot more when she's not as muscled up (is that even legitimate expression?) as on american gladiators and looks more like she looked on fight girls last season. which - btw. - is a nice thing to watch until the first post-strike episodes of your favourite shows roll out :)

I've never watched, but I can definitely see why she's crushworthy. I particularly like that she puts her weight on screen and shows people what being an in shape 5'8" 155 lbs woman looks like. Enough of the 5'8" 125 lbs expectation. HOT.

omg, i have such a thing for Crush. she is smokin hot... and the best reason to watch that show. i never missed an episode... and not only was she the hottest girl gladiator, but she was one of the best-- especially in joust. www.eyeslikealeopard.com

This song just keeps playing in my head when I hear her name on the show. I hope the show sticks around just to see her kick butt! Came across this looking for her other fights (man she rocks in those too), figured it was only a matter of time before someone pieced clips of Crush with the song. Any Paramore fans will love it too. Just needs more of Crush wrestling with the women on there *sigh* lol.

The heart has its reasons, for which reason knows nothing. - Pascal

I saw this post a couple of hours ago but decided not to read it before I'd seen the final episode. I almost died with the amount of Crush, I mean, Joust AND Pyramid. It was heaven. The I came back here and read the post. Clicked on a youtube link. Spent the next four hours looking up clips of her fighting, kicking ass and drawing blood.

Oh. My. Zeus.

She is vicious in the ring/cage. The crush for Gina now formed. So sweet, so personable, so damn freaking cute! I want to see some of her games now! Not just a pretty face, an opponent to be scared of because she's just that good.

Her saying "yup" is actually a season finale development. Throughout most of the season she would just silently nod her head. Contrast this with the other gladiators (particularly the female ones) who usually strike some pose and exclaim something...whew, Crush is intimidatingly hot!

In People magazine near the beginning of this season of Gladiators Gina answered three questions. One was how she got her name. "They say that I crush people in the cage and that they then have a crush on me." says the youngest gladiator, who's single. "I fought a girl in a cage match, and she said 'I don't know whether to knock her out or kiss her.'"

I was wondering who that dark haired wonder woman was. I do love her physic. It's appealing. :) Athletic girls always get to me. Ha-ha... Good Gladiator name, "Crush." I love it. -Rachel

I am a muay thai freak, and my friends and I send links back and forth of Hot pics of Gina. She was awesome as a trainer on Fight Girls, a muay thai reality show that was on Oxygen I believe. She had us at "hello, get ready to feel pain."

...damn. Not much else to say really.

 

Patient: There's like this longing ... this pull. I mean, does that make me, you know, like, some kind of...?

Tobias: Maeby, please. She's right, though, you probably are a homosexual.

Gina Carano is great and in her last fight with Tonya Evinger. Tonya said she was distracted by Gina's boobs, you can watch it here

 other then  American Gladiators Gina was a great mentor for aspiring female fighters on Fight Girls

Those are the five reasons why I have a crush on Crush too :)

I watched the very first episode with my mother and the woman quickly picked up on my huge grin every time Crush would come on screen that she was totally my type lol

I love Gina Crush Carano's voice too.

God, I want her to abuse my body and I swear I wouldn't put up a fight.

They both make my blood boil ;-)

My girlfriend and I both picked Crush as the hottest gladiator heads and tails above the others, she's hot and cute, and both completely physically intimidating and approachable (well in theory, in reality she's off in TV land). It's cool to see that so many other dykes share our great tastes, and now that I know she's a fighter, I'll be trying to catch some of that action on the web. The interview with the other fighter who was distracted by her boobs was hilarious. I don't mind being thumped around by a whole bunch of hot lez's (ex rugby player here) maybe I should become a fight girl...

Omg, I have totally had a crush on her since the first episode. Love her look, badass skills (I prefer her tackling to jousting), chill attitude and genuine supportiveness of the contestants (I also noticed that she was super cool to Monica while competing)!

Thanks for posting this much-needed praise of her - it'd be so awesome if AfterEllen could interview her about being such a strong woman!

If only she were into girls too, life would be perfect--then again, my head and heart might explode if she were ;)

I totally didn't watch a full episode of this. but reading this, i wish i did. My roommates have them saved, so I think i may go watch it for her. I also love the way she says "yup".

That smile... ah will be the death of me.

Mmmmm, I did not even know that Gina was on this show. I only watched like one episode, eventhough like many, I watched it when I was younger. I love Gina Carano and I have been on her since last year when I saw her on Elite XC. She has a killer right hand, and she is so f*ckin hot. Now, Im gonna have to download the rest of the episodes, that I don't already have. Man, I have been missing out on my Gina fix ;)

Here's a Gina Carano tribute video to Paramore's "Crushcrushcrush" I found on youtube. Oh and I already loved this song

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68Qa3jYwMc4

A Killer overhand right!

Gina is so hot and I do love her. LOL

Gina Carano is the reason I went out and started training in MMA. I don't think I could ever fight her though. I'd just be too distracted being near her, but at least it would give her another win to add to her 5-0 MMA record and 12-1-1 Muay Thai record.

I know this comment is late to the gate but....

Gina is THE reason I started watching American Gladiators. I'm addicted to Elite XC because of her.  I love Gina/Crush and would love to see more coverage of her on afterellen. 

Gina, sweety, I mean Miss Carano... call me.
