Gladiators #2

[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…

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.

Was thinking with his other head. I guess she was hoping to capitalise off his fame and has realised that won't happen now he has been axed...

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.

Crikey who would have predicted it?? Rushed to get it all over socials with no respect to the lady you are divorcing meanwhile the other party focuses on themselves and tries to heal while your recently ex husband parades his porn star gf and jacks in his career over it. Had disaster written all over it.

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).

 

[Redline]

Let's be fair, he wasn't all that good - just big. They made an entire game for him last series (Tilt) and he messed it up. I won't miss him.

If Fury, Cyclone or Legend go, then we're in trouble.

 

[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.

 

[CherryAcid]

He has shown himself to be a right prat. Wouldnt shock me if he tried to get back with his wife, i hope she has none of it.

 

[Prissypaws]

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

 

[Lilu22]

I’ve been offered tickets to the celeb special, hopefully no one will use the ladder this time

 

[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
