Gladiators #2

[Mark81]

Two great male contenders this week, genuine respect for eachother and the gladiators , despite the competition. And I think the gladiators also like and respect both of them.

Both guys are such good guys, but Joe F is so lovely. And a gymnast will likely beat pretty much anyone.

The other Joe is a great inspiration though.

I didn’t like Aneila she was a bad loser last week and this week had a face like a wet fish

Hammer was a PT at my local gym for yearsssss

He and a guy he worked closely with had a horrible reputation for belittling women/ making women feel very uncomfortable

My friend actually left the gym because of his behaviour. Apparently they used to make a game of getting as many womens numbers as possible in the gym while also pointing/ laughing at them. When I joined the gym with my bf a couple of years after this, in the sign up process I mentioned this to the sales guy who said he knew about it and has heard it from other women, but not to worry because the two PTs in question were probably moving on soon (they stayed for a good while after that...)

Anyway it's put me right off Gladiators which my 5 year old quite likes, because I've realised the majority of them are probably douchey PTs underneath the BBC facade

Good episode tonight, however my 9 year old said about the two male contenders "I don't care for either of them" and I was like, same, girl, same

Wow at Josh in that Eliminator.

 

[Redline]

Is it part of Legend’s contract that he has to appear in every episode? None of the other injured gladiators have made appearances once they’re out

That's probably because none of them have the charisma and crowd working ability that he does.

And probably because all the others had major leg injuries so are less mobile.

Wish that Helena would stop sticking her friggin tongue out it’s so cringey

 

[BerlinILoveYou]

Who here thinks that Amanda could be the Eunace Huthart of our time? What a legend she was!!

Why does Nitro give off Blue Peter/CBBC presenter vibes? Miss seeing him this series

As a parent I also think that the BBC have made the right call here.
A few weeks ago we had noticed he had posted a photo of him visiting the team we supports football match and my little one asked to look at his photos. She doesn’t have insta or use it but I did let her have a wee look at his profile. I’d have been devastated if he had posted anything with this gf and tagged her and my wee one had got onto her profile.
In the public domain in a job that is aimed at families you just can’t be linked to that content. No1 is saying he can’t be in the relationship but he shouldn’t be sharing her page when it’s not family friendly.
he’s now living this attention and the 5 mins of fame that’s coming with it but it will soon die down and he’ll be on OF to bring in the money too.

I can see where the BBC are coming from. If he's promoting her social media on his own it could lead to children stumbling on her accounts and the BBC don't want to be held accountable for that.

I’ve just been to have a nose. For me, I’m not a fan of the long hair so when it’s tied back he automatically gets more points from me.
But also he looks good in the outfit! Hes definitely a ‘grey sweats’ guy.
Whereas conversely, legend does nothing for me til you put him in metallic Lycra.

I am ridiculously attracted to Legend the character and NOT AT ALL to Matt the fitness guy.

 

[Redline]

I think the 90s version didn't have as many health and safety things in place. Not to mention gym culture wasn't as big back then and all the Gladiators were just juiced to the absolute tits.

 

[OwlHen]

We were appalled she won after having a ladder!

 

[IndominusRex]

Wait so his ‘values’ is promoting porn?

 

[IndominusRex]

I also hate this bullshit that he is loyal to his people. Nope, not buying it, you thought you were bigger than the show and have FAFO.

He wasn’t loyal to his wife and kids

 

[Lilu22]

I’ve really grown to love Legend this series. First series I didn’t really understand his character but he’s rather funny

 

[LittleMissMuffet]

It’ll be really interesting to see what they do for the next series. It’s just nice to have a show on tv that has a great nod to what family Saturday nights used to be and that all generations can enjoy. With the most delicious thighs

 

[D_Wills]

Such a good episode! The Legend bits genuinely made me laugh and that eliminator!!
