great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds.

Slightly tardy because of the long weekend, but we're back with our Power Rankings this week. This time around, we expand them as more shows have debuted.

Top 5

Gene Simmons

05. Gene Simmons
We probably won't include reality TV stars very often, particularly since we don't watch a lot of it. But Gene Simmons' self-induced firing in The Celebrity Apprentice provided some hilarious moments. Like him or not, you have to respect the man's cajones.

Gus

04. Gus
Just because Shaun's non-psychic friend can show old ladies a "MARVELOUS" dancing time!

Titan

03. Titan
Let's face it; he's probably the most well-rounded male Gladiator out there, even if he doesn't have a really interesting gimmick. But his good sportsmanship continues to make him a fan favorite.

Cameron

02. "Cameron"
Hey, it's Summer Glau! We've followed her from Firefly to The 4400 to Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. Of course she'd show up on this list.

Sarah Connor

01. Sarah Connor
Yep, the top 2 come from the same show. Sarah Connor is clearly the superior Connor - she's not whiny, overly emotional, or generally annoying like a lot of female leads tend to be these days. Plus, you could arguably say the show is more about the interactions between her and Cameron more than her and John Connor (so far).

Bottom 5

Venom

05. Venom
Overall, not a good week for Venom. She was supremely ineffective in Power Ball, and went 1-1 in Joust. A combination of a solid performance the previous week and some atrocious performances by others kept her off the top (bottom?) spots this week.

Stealth

04. Stealth
She totally let one of the female contestants off the hook and let her win at Pyramid. PYRAMID! That's not even a real event! What the hell?

John Connor

03. John Connor
Am I supposed to believe mankind's future savior and hacker extraordinaire John Connor actually went to a computer (Apple?) store and didn't know that his browsing activity was being tracked? Look, they had browser histories in 1999 too, dude... why are you such an idiot? Just listen to Cameron and your mom, a'ight?

Hellga

02. Hellga
The first Gladiator to get knocked into the water and lose at Assault? Hellga, you need to bring the pain. There is some serious underperformance going on here!

Mayhem

01. Mayhem
Everything was going well - until he injured someone. Look, I'm all for trying to not suck week in and week out, but you can't go around injuring people, and especiailly not people who call themselves "the Hebrew Hammer".
