Season 2 (1993)

The second season of *Nickelodeon GUTS* premiered on Nickelodeon on August 16, 1993, and ended on October 22, 1993. This was Mike O'Malley's second season as the host, who previously hosted Nickelodeon's first game show *Get the Picture* in 1991. This season kicked off with a one-hour special Nickelodeon GUTS All Stars, featuring three perfect scoring champions from Season 1; Mike "Superman" Schmidt, Jana "The Warrior" Waring, and Kelli "The Maniac" Marchewka, which aired on Nickelodeon as part of its SNICK block on August 21, 1993. Beginning with this season, *Nickelodeon GUTS* moved to weekdays at 5:30/4:30c on Nickelodeon, right after reruns of *Hey Dude* (1989-1991). This was the only season not to feature guest appearances. New events were added, and some older events dropped. Co-host and referee Moira Quirk read the bios for the "Spill Your GUTS" segments, a new section called Boulder Canyon was added to the beginning of the Aggro Crag. The opening sequence from the previous season remained the same, and Moira's voice was still softer, but became more of a louder tone; this is the last season where the GUTS pool was located in the field before moving to the scoreboard area during Season 3 in 1994. This is also the last season where Mike introduced the players at the beginning of the show when the players enter.
