Gladiators #3

Spoiler: Name chat

could have called her Olympia!

I am gutted about Cyclone - loved her! She was the most able female gladiator, had a great personality and could talk the talk and walk the walk. She was the female version of Legend Most of the others are a bit ‘meh’ and don’t get me started on bloody cowgirl Dynamite and one truck pony Comet

I’m glad she wasn’t axed, but her statement is even more baffling and strongly worded toward the end. And despite of this, she’s still doing the tour? I wonder if others like Bionic are too.

The tour is by a totally separate company. The gladiators that have been axed/left the tv show probably still have a contract for the live tour.

Told my daughter about Cyclone yesterday and she actually had tears, she was such a positive role model to kids.

OMG the Joe Marler thing looks all kinds of cringe.

I’m not against change - I am fine for bringing in new Gladiators and losing some of the existing ones - but losing an event per episode just isn’t worth it. It’s baffling that the 90s series used to film 6 events plus the Eliminator in a day and they can’t even manage that.

Spoiler

I think this Gladiator v Gladiator thing is going to get old quickly too.

I absolutely can't be doing with Sabre. The way she postures about with her rear end, it's like she's got an itchy bottom/worms

Sorry, not sorry

Sabre gives me the absolute ick. Just can’t take to her.

 

[Redline]

Maybe she's dating an OF model

This morning I've seen a few articles saying that Joe Marler is going to become the first celebrity gladiator. I’m hoping this is just for a skit or even the celebrity special and he’s a contender. I can’t imagine him doing a lot of the games.
The first celebrity gladiator was surely Sharron Davies anyway!

Spoiler: New Glad info

apparently Tabitha Stoecker is Gold Star, and she did win a Gold medal at the Winter Olympics

Spoiler: Glad Info

That's great. But give her a name like Ice, Mistress Freeze, Shiver, Blizzard etc. then. Not one that makes it sound like she's a competition winner.

I'm new to finding this thread and it may have already been discussed, but Hammer also gives me the ick

After seeing him on Great British Sewing Bee Christmas special last year. Bless him in his 1970's Oxford Bags, Dockers, gingham ribbon in his hair and the like, It looked like he'd got lost on his way out up to Sheffield to a Northern Soul All Nighter, and found his way into a sewing comp instead.

Laughed all the way through it and now cannot take him seriously dressed in lycra banging his hammer about

 

[Redline]

Sabre's "totally not an ad but is totally an add" IG post today of her being a "massive nerd" is made even worse when she can't even figure out how to flip the video so the words aren't all back to front.

I swear she has to be the worst Gladiator for advertising without making it clear to her followers.

 

[umbongo2703]

Just googled it. Devastated my favourite

I’m just baffled as to why she has been axed, if that is the case. It makes no sense.

 

[Cupid_Stunt]

Re Cyclone I’ve seen a few people commenting on social media saying she left to pursue a professional wrestling career in the US not sure how true it is

If it was just that then why was her statement hinting at something had happened behind the scenes that meant she had no choice but to quit?

 

[Trafalgar]

Is it the celeb episode today? Have fun

Yep was the celeb special. It was exhausting going. 9 hours on those seats hurt your arse so much! But made my daughters year!

 

[ElectricDreams]

We've been at the filming of one of the Quarter Finals today, coincidentally exactly a year since we went last time.

We saw 3 of the new Gladiators and one new event, which was quite good and as much a psychologically taxing event as a physical one. Compared with last year though, it didn't have the same magic and excitement. Some of the gladiators felt underused and though the contenders were brilliant, we didn't feel that 4 events was enough to really root for them. Even the warm up guy didn't seem as engaging as last year.

We've had a good day out for free though

 

[Trafalgar]

We are in the queue. Got here about 0715 and the queue is massive. Sat on a cold floor, so no doubt will get piles

I quite like viper. It’s strange, I prefer legend in gladiator mode, but viper does nothing for me. He’s like a third rate wolf wannabe. But when you see them all out, in normal dress, I think viper easily looks the best. Naturally stylish

 

[Redline]

This series just feels so messy. If it's not Giant, it's the others being cut, the reduction in events and Dynamite still trying to learn to sing.

Thanks for that!

I know the gladiators probably can’t spill details but there is a part of me that thinks shit or get off the pot and stop with the vagueness

I am not totally against a celebrity gladiator, but i would want it to be more as a one off, something for children in need or a celebrity special.

Spoiler: Spoiler

they have nearly filmed the entire show already, so it could just be a few quick games for a special episode.

People who have been to the recordings have reported a few special Gladiator v Gladiator games involving Gladiators from different countries versions of the show, so maybe part of that.

I think they are going to play 4 normal games, one Glad v Glad game and the eliminatior each episode.

I don't mind things being changed, like new games and new Gladiators. I am also not 100% against them dropping a game if it prevents injury. What i am worried about is that they are adding a lot of ' gimmicky' stuff that will be part of the main show. The show is strong enough to stand on its own with out gimmicks being added.

Imo people have asked for international matches, glad v glad etc, but they want them as extra alongside the show, rather than part of it. A UK v the world special would be fun, or a glad v glad special. People would probably enjoy these more than the current Christmas special.
