Does anyone know why the US version was filmed in France? It is not like America is short of arenas that could be used.

Seems an expensive choice to fly and accommodate everyone involved and have an audience whose first language isn’t English 😬

Sorry for the double post but can’t edit it. Article about a new Gladiator joining containing their identity but no name yet:

Interesting..I assume it’s his brother Luke who the unsavoury business about cheating on his wife with men and women is about…

Did Mark Clattenburg look different? I can’t put my finger on it
At the live tour Mark looked unhealthily thin. I was actually quite shocked with how thin he looked. This was admittedly about 6 months after the celebrity special was filmed, but I do have a soft spot for Mark and I was concerned as he looked so thin.

I saw this, think the queues will be horrific though as it’s just first come first served on the day from 10am and they recommend arriving early. I don’t want to go, queue and then get turned away 😭
I posted this, but if it’s anything like the Gabbys Dollhouse queues, it will be mental!

Today’s the day I’m off to see the live tour! Has anyone been and how was it?
I hope you have a wonderful time! I went to one of the o2 shows and it was so much fun! The production is very slick, quite a lot of speaking time for the Gladiators. My show started and finished about 15 minutes late. There is an interval between the end of the events and the eliminator while they set the latter up.

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.

my kids have watched all the episodes many MANY times and I actually it’s quite enjoyable to watch as an adult. Diamond’s prank with the fart machine had me laughing out loud. And I loved Giant reading out that terrible poem 😂

Also I thought Comet came across as really, really lovely in her prank episode.
I love it too nice to see the gladiators more chilled out

Makes sense - hadn’t realised they were using pre-existing sets/equipment etc.

Gutted we can’t watch it!

Glad he's got support from his co stars. He isn't on her Only Fans account and isn't promoting hers through his social media. He's just dating someone who does a job that pays tax. Polls I have seen have showed fans are backing him.

I will hang my hat on the ratings next season dipping without him.

What a final- I’ve just caught up now because was babysitting my 10 year old nephew who isn’t even allowed to know about Gladiatoss as he would behave so badly after watching it. Very happy for Amanda and Joe- I loved Mus but Christine just swayed Joe for me

I now follow all the male Gladiators both in character and in person on Instagram except Vyper and Hammer because they are rubbish

Thank you for your company over the last weeks, I love discussing the show with you all on here.
