Gladiators #2

[Cupid_Stunt]

Even moreso when you consider that they would have filmed those 'interactions' a number of times and that's the best performance you could get out of them

It was very GCSE Drama, or like one of those photo love stories with speech bubbles you used to get in teenage girl magazines back in the day

She would be amazing if she came back. I think the Gladiators liked her as well. She seemed respected by them.



I think Nitro, Phantom and Steel seem like nice lads and competed in the Olympics so I'm not sure they would be as arrogant as others (despite literally being elite athletes). Fire came over well on Strictly from what I saw and I think Fury seems a really lovely kind girl.

Diamond gives off "bitch" vibes and Sabre has become more annoying I think.

Don't feel like we see much of Comet and Athena compared to the other girls

Im A Fury girl , I really like and admire how she conducts herself. I think she’s backed off a bit this year after the tackle with the contestant last series. I also really like power house that is Cyclone.

I want to unleash on you..

Do you want to see my ring?

I’m on the edge…

Oh, they just write themselves!

With someone looking awfully like Barney sat in the corner in the chair

 

[Lovecrisps]

I wasn't sure about Cyclone when she first arrived but she's an absolute beast of a Gladiator, her record speaks for itself and I love her attitude now!

 

[LittleMissMuffet]

They always trot out the “it’s the oldest profession” line as if that makes everything ok. The next line is that it’s “empowering”. Is it? Because it looks like you’re having to do all sorts of things to appease your subscribers. I personally don’t think that changing my body specifically for the male gaze (because it’s not for yourself - those boobs are ridic) is particularly powerful.

 

[LittleMissMuffet]

He wasn’t loyal to his wife and kids

He has values and principles tho babe. Values his gf putting things up her principles for money…

 

[Also_smoke_and_mirrors]

I don't think it would be unreasonable to say to someone 'we have a strict social media policy due to Gladiators being role models for children. This means that you can not heavily feature an only fans creator on your social media. Children could click through and see her profile where she posts saucy pictures to advertise her only fans. Whilst this is legal, it is not suitable for people under 18 to see'.

You have to be held to a higher standard if you work with children or are on kids TV.

Not unreasonable at all. He just wants to show off the trophy girlfriend and made his choice. All he had to do was be discreet.

But if he was injured, why not get one of the others to do the event?

From the looks of things they were all walking wounded by the end. No point getting Giant out there as he's slower than my nan driving. They should have got Nitro to run again, the guy never broke a sweat.

 

[LittleMissMuffet]

I’ve finally watched Saturdays ep. I kinda liked how rubbish they all were. They almost felt like normal people

love that legend has shoe horned himself in even though he’s injured. I can’t believe Viper finally took out a contender (granted what I’ve said above ha ha).

 

[OwlHen]

Ooh so very weak tea but apparently Bionic is always flirting with a friend of a friend when he’s in her work (she works in the co-op)

 

[Kerrie86]

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

Same! And objectively I know he looks like the head from art attack, but in Legend mode, Jesus Christ.

 

[Redline]

The men's final was breathtaking, but it would have been a lot closer had they not that stupid stuff with The Wall.

 

[dressinggownofdoom]

So he’s lost his wife and his job over this OF girl. Typical mid life crisis bloke, with more muscles.

 

[Prissypaws]

Mo was pretty cocky for someone who only got through because his heat rival’s shoe fell off

 

[Also_smoke_and_mirrors]

Hammer is the worst. Such a let down. They hyped up a new gladiator and it's someone without any personality and the body of a contender not gladiator. Obviously I'm sitting here with my blancmange body passing judgment but I haven't put myself forward as a gladiator have I *brushes crisp crumbs off her top*

 

[LittleMissMuffet]

Get the ones from the 90s back on, it would be amazing.

I wish they’d involved the OG gladiators in the new series. Even in a guest host scenario. Because Bradley Walsh’s kid is awful as a presenter. I’ve said it before but I’m amazed that a father and son can have zero chemistry

 

[umbongo2703]

I do find it somewhat strange that Giant would even suggest ‘values’ were a reason for leaving when he’s openly stated he used steroids in the past. I know he doesn’t advocate for them now but still.

I suspect it’s either someone else is going and he doesn’t agree with it or it’s more about the outcomes of the show becoming more scripted/rigged to make the show more ‘entertaining’.

To be honest, a bit of a refresh of the team is needed.

EDITED: A bit of a snoop around on Reddit suggests he might not be the only one going. Sabre is apparently going. She will spill the tea for sure!

 

[CrackingOwlSanctuary]

Will 100% say in their contracts about this stuff so he will have known what was going to happen but crying about it rather than accepting it gets more media attention since OF is the magic word at the moment, it somehow gets far more mainstream attention than it should (both Bonnie Blue and Lily Phillips have been interviewed on 'serious' news shows ffs).

He wants to trade off being a Gladiator, his gf obviously wants to piggyback on his fame. The two are not compatible, Gladiators is a BBC show specifically aired at a time that allows children to enjoy it.

 

[Prissypaws]

I find it hilarious they're trying to make Apollo the heartthrob in this.

I think it’s Apollo trying to make Apollo the heart throb
