Go to Options -> Settings -> Graphics -> Skins -> Babes -> Australian ->
Claudia Black. For now the only other choice there is Fabienne
Vanderhaeghen, but more are coming out every day.

It's a channel where they show old CSI episodes and Star Trek movies
some guy taped on his VHS recorder. They also show a lot of professional
wrestling and mixed martial arts, so I'm guessing their target audience
is closeted gay men.

You don't want savegames, drybones, from the discussion I took it you
will want skins of some kind.

Like this one for instance:

***** Careful though, it's NSFW meaning Not Safe For Work meaning it's
got nudity meaning make sure the boss or your old lady or kids are not
around *****

Aargh! I hope they are sexier with clothes on.

I was going to make a joke about the 'uncanny valley', but that doesn't
really work here...

So, no wonder it is called "SPIKE" TV. Need to have that level of
hardness to get satisfaction, I suppose....

You admit to watching Spike TV? That station is to men as the Woman's
network is to woman. Both go to extremes to prove their viewer's
manhood/womanhood. It's like Tonka Toys vs Barbie Dolls. Personally, I
don't need either to validate my gender.

All the movies they show have either Chuck Norris or Steven Seagal in
them too.

I kinda liked their 'Deadliest Warrior' series where they compared
individual or group combatants with assorted weapon types (melee,
ranged, etc.) though many of the pair ups were dubious at best -- a
ninja vs. a Spartan warrior. A pirate vs. a medieval knight. Sheesh.

I had to go to my friend's home to watch the awards show, because I
don't get SPIKE at my home. I have no idea what they regularly show.

Lots of action movie with big explosions, and only action movies. A contest
show were douchebags hit on women in clubs and have to get their phone
number to win. That's all I have ever seen on it anyway. They try so hard to
appeal to "real men" and I like quiche and green tea so it's not a station I
view favorably.

Weekends they show a lot of action movies.
