In the second season of Strijders, Ray and Dai face off against each other again, this time with entirely new teams. The participants are once again put to the test, with both physical strength and mental resilience taking center stage. Only after these intensive tests will Ray and Dai make their final selection. According to Dai Carter, the bar is set even higher this season: there is hardly any room for rest, and the emphasis is stronger than ever on teamwork and top performance under extreme pressure. Candidates who do not meet the high standards are immediately eliminated from the competition. This year, an abandoned air force base in Bulgaria serves as the backdrop for the action. Here, the most nerve-wracking and breathtaking challenges are carried out, where courage, endurance, and cooperation make the difference between winning and losing.

American Gladiators is an American competition television program that aired weekly in syndication from September 1989 to May 1996. The series matched a cast of amateur athletes against each other, as well as against the show's own gladiators, in contests of strength and agility. The concept was created by Dan Carr and John C. Ferraro, who held the original competition at Erie Tech High School in Erie, Pennsylvania. They sold the show to The Samuel Goldwyn Company where the concept was enhanced and became American Gladiators. An effort in 2004 to launch a live American Gladiators show on the Las Vegas Strip became mired in a securities fraud prosecution. However, the television series was restarted in 2008. Episodes from the original series were played on ESPN Classic from 2007 to 2009. Several episodes are available for download on Apple's iTunes Service.
