Gladiators #2

[I_Like_Tractors]

We were appalled she won after having a ladder!

Completely unfair! How can she be proud of herself 'winning' after that?

I’m happy to let Phantom unleash himself on me. Woof.

1 - free will works both ways. People have the free will to comment they disagree with something you've done when you're a public figure and post everything wide open to the public

2 - ive seen plenty of alpha male men (inc military ones) do the matching PJ thing. You can be a tough alpha male and still have fun with your loved ones.

Shes comes across very insecure

He was deliberately being provocative with his comments, but i understand where he is coming from after he put up a video explaining in more detail.

A child that is falling behind academically at school will be given help and support to catch up. If a child is very overweight and unhealthy, no support is given to then or their family to help change that. That child then grows up with a higher chance of getting certain health issues due to their weight.

I think shows like Gladiators will be inspiring a lot of kids to take up sports or become more active.

There needs to be more done though. Funding local sports clubs and school facilities. Better support and education for parents. But as with all things these days, there is not enough money for this.

Cyclone is a great addition, hopefully Hammer proves himself this series - can't wait to next Saturday!

 

[Also_smoke_and_mirrors]

We've just caught up and like everyone else can't believe that awful non entity 'won' when she didn't complete the course and Nicola did.

 

[Claymorekick]

I was thinking the other day that they should do a special where the gladiators go up against each other on the events and also have them all do the eliminator - that would be so entertaining.

My thoughts are that most of them are built for power and strength and would actually struggle with the eliminator!

 

[ChampagneBox]

Exactly. Im 99% sure Viper has a wife and child because they were once in a photo on another Gladiators page

 

[Also_smoke_and_mirrors]

It's one thing using a ladder in celeb versions (as long as the celeb doesn't act like they've won when they shouldn't have. Yes, we're looking right at you, Vogue) but I don't think they should use them in the regular show. What if she had 'won'? She'd have gone through when someone more able than her didn't. They should just set a time limit after the winner has finished and if she couldn't do it in the time, just end the event.

 

[SunshineRae]

I’m not sure if it was set up but it did make a refreshing change to see some contestants win at Duel. It’s often the game I’ll make a cup of tea during as I know what the result will be. Really liked the new game - it looks tough. I’d definitely do my shoulder and knees in on that!

 

[Captainmouse]

Wonder how Nicola feels about being beaten by a cheat?

 

[Alexaj]

For the ladies I would like to see someone who ia comfortable playing a villain role throughout, who doesn't drop character and praise the contestants when they do well.

I think Cyclone fits the bill here. But I agree that it would be fun to introduce another "villain". They're on the whole a bit too gushy for my liking.

 

[CherryAcid]

Or he'll pivot into OF himself?

This is what I reckon will happen, A couples OF page.

 

[Beth1980]

I don't get why he is shocked after all the scandal the BBC has had recently, nevermind elsewhere.
Gladiators have young fans and will go online for information about them, obviously many shouldn't have access and/or aren't supervised properly but would only take a few clicks to see the new girlfriend is on OF and for them to seek out what the site is about even if they can't access her content.
Dan (HB) won't want any negative focus around his company after the H and P scandal as the media will pounce.

 

[Redline]

I think Pyramid is just too dangerous, even with safeguards around this time

What was the one where they had bungee cords and jumped into the air to steal balls? I liked that one.

 

[umbongo2703]

Great first episode. Not completely sold on Destruction at this point as it doesn’t get too exciting until near the end.

Is Rachael a priest? She didn’t mention it. Much.

 

[Multi-21]

Never seen anyone do the cargo net that quickly before!
Nice to see Hang Tough back

 

[Kerrie86]

Don't forget Gladiators is on late tonight at 8pm. However for those with kids it is being shown on iplayer from 4pm.

This is how you do family tv isn’t it? That’s such a clever move

 

[umbongo2703]

I didn’t know Vogue hadn’t posted anything about it online. That is a surprise as I would’ve thought it would be contractual? I wonder if she’s a bit embarrassed by it? Loving the shade Nicola’s thrown by liking that comment.

I do love Gladiators but production aren’t adverse to a bit of riggory to get the result they want - see changing the rules of The Wall for the men’s series two finale so Joe still had a lead over Mus.

 

[MidnightAura]

I agree Tyler coming in, doing one event and then using points he didn’t earn to get a head start on the eliminator isn’t fair.
Because he’s not playing for Mo. He’s playing for himself so he shouldn’t get Mo’s points.
