Gladiators #2

[Bexster]

Is it me or did Jamie’s used to be known as Giants new girlfriend look like she didn’t sign up for this. She signed up for famous Giant not a sacked has been. The stuff on her insta each to their own do what ya like. It he was on a family show.
Words like loyalty and values thrown around…. Ah stop!
I don’t think either are particularly bright! His kids are old enough to get stuck for the OF too and they didn’t get a choice…..

I think it would be a good idea to get a few new Glads in. Due to injuries, it does feel a bit like its just the same few doing all the events every week. Which obviously can't be helped.

However, any new Glads need to be more Cyclone and less Hammer. More bad ass, less cringe please!

 

[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!

 

[MidnightAura]

No, he’s just speaking about the media speculation. He obviously wants to return but it doesn’t appear to be forthcoming. Given they film in two weeks, I doubt they’d bring him back when they’ve recruited a new Gladiator to replace him.

It all feels a tad desperate at this point. He knows he’s cocked up and it looking for a way back.

ah, thank you!

The sad thing is, had he kept his mouth shut and not painted himself the victim everywhere, he might have got back.

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?

 

[Jemadah]

Just seen on tiktok theres a new male glad. Hes a guy called Ahmed and hes late 30s, PT and bodybuilder. Quite lean.

From a quick look at his Insta he looks a bit of a prat. Pinned post wishing his young daughter a happy birthday but the first two photos are him doing a muscle man pose behind her. Have a day off you berk and post some nice photos with your kid.

 

[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.

 

[umbongo2703]

I doubt very much he’ll be given his role back. I think he burned the bridges he did have due to the way he handled the situation.

They were also auditioning new Gladiator(s) so I don’t think he’ll be invited back as there will be too many.

 

[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.
