Gladiators #2

[Eggsandbeans]

I would like Ella to win, I find Finn and Shaun irritating but the other two guys aren’t partic good so I am resigned to the fact I’m not bothered which of the guys win but Ella for the ladies please!

I keep checking to see if I can work out who is going on my tour date but I can’t (some of them have said which days they’re doing or the tour).

Same Ffs, I bet we get the tongue out couple on our show

 

[Katykatykaty]

I’m disappointed there’s no Gladiators tomorrow due to the football

Gutted!

 

[TapToBoreMeRigid]

Prime in the US I believe. Unsure of UK

 

[Pebs19]

It was good fun! We did have tongue out Lewis as a contender but fair play to him he was super gracious and not as bad as the TV series. But we also had series 2 champion Joe

What was Joe like

I would imagine the cost of flying there and accommodating everyone in France was financially cheaper than doing everything from scratch in the US. Everything was all in place after the French version of the show had finished filming (I believe it tanked in the ratings anyway).

Tea on Reddit suggests that they paid the audience a small amount of Euros to stay for the purposes of filming.

That's probably true. A colleague of mine was out in Poland when the BBC were filming the first series of The Wall and got paid to be a member of the audience.

I’m going through the same thought process now. It’s a 2.5 hour drive for me and with my ASD son it tow it’s going to be really tough. He can’t handle queuing but looking like we’ll have to do several hours to even get a chance of getting in. God help us if we don’t actually get in after making the journey and then queuing, my life won’t be worth living! There’s got to be a better system than just queuing for hours on the off chance of getting in!

Thats just how TV show filming works. Tickets are free, so it's first come first serve. Was always the same for the Arena X Factor Auditions at the O2, and large TV shows over and Fountain Studios near Wembley.

Expect it to be a long, tiring and expensive (they won't allow much outside food and drink) day, long periods of time between games, pauses for reshoots of post game interviews etc etc

The Bluewater event yesterday was a bit of a nightmare apparently

Oh what happened? I was thinking about going but the ‘first come first served’ aspect of it put me off.

 

[Bagpuss20]

I thought Diamonds hair was going to get caught under the wall on Everest. Not a good episode for her. What’s the injury does anyone know?

Ruptured ACL I think- remember seeing it on her insta

 

[Chilli pepper 19]

I think Athena was also injured at time of recording? Don't recall seeing her.

She said at the live show she was coming back from a bad injury

 

[Trafalgar]

Seen some spoilers and some I dont think I believe. Dont like the 2 new female gladiators names, but the announced male is spot on.

 

[umbongo2703]

They don’t seem to be fans of repeating UK Gladiator names on the BBC version so I’ll go with something like Titan as the new name. Makes sense.

 

[Shell624]

Where did Katie move to? She said shes heading back to see her family? I havent followed her for long actually but I know of her from the ilkeston gym days. She looks absolutely insane

 

[Also_smoke_and_mirrors]

Spoiler: Omg

devastated those 2 are injured. Especially cyclone

Same

 

[TapToBoreMeRigid]

I wonder if Legend is voicing his view in the way he is because it gets engagement. There's no nuance to it and with him being a seemingly smart man, I really hope that's the case.

 

[Captainmouse]

I know it was scripted, but i felt little emotional about someone making Fury a sign language poster.

If it’s like X factor etc, it would have been done by the production company

 

[Trafalgar]

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.

I loved swingshot. A brilliant game.

 

[princess0121do1]

The fake fight between Viper and Legend on those previews hahahaha oh we're getting camper

Where is this?

 

[TapToBoreMeRigid]

Dynamite, Sabre, Nitro and Apollo are on Celebrity Bridge of Lies. One of them thought all swans were female.

Has the official Giant insta account disappeared now? The bbc/hungry bear one
