I thought Apollo was hot at first, but his personality just gives me the ick. I can imagine him on nights out thinking he’s just the shit.

I love Harry, he comes across as one of the nicest people on TV, whether he's on Glads or other shows.

I can’t think who Harry is!

I think the OG American Gladiator Ice would be furious if there was another Ice :ROFLMAO: she seems quite intense

I cannot stand him. He was abusive in his home, not physically to his wife, but he would go around the house smashing the place up, he was racist to a player calling him a slur, he was disgusting to an opponent calling his mum a whore. He is just a horrible human being, and I dont know why he is so celebrated.

In that case I'd say he's a far worse role model for a family audience of a Saturday teatime than Giant, get him off!

Cyclone has gone permanently. All traces of her as a gladiator removed from her social media pages.

So sad, as she was amazing on the show and so gorgeous and lovely when we met her.

I really hope this isn’t true, but it won’t surprise me if it was. She was fabulous and one of the best ever from this batch of Gladiators. Also explains maybe why she hasn’t been there for filming whereas Fury has been despite being injured.

To be fair, there is only a single post on Reddit from what I can see saying about an 'uneasy atmosphere' in the arena, and that's someone's perception of it. Looking at things on social media, those who went are generally having a good time. But I do agree it's definitely giving too many changes all at once. I guess they couldn't help some things beyond their control like injuries and voluntary choices not to come back (in one case, if tea on Reddit is to be believed). They should've tinkered with the team last series to make things a bit easier this time around with more changes if wanted/needed to make any. I feel one of the biggest problems with the show is the lack of change...literally everything has been the same for three seasons, except new games and two new Gladiators.

I do think it's unfair what's happened to Craig, the chap who has been 'blacklisted' by Hungry Bear/BBC. They've only singled him out because they know him and know he has an Instagram site about the show so they to keep as much control as possible. They're not going after the numerous others who are giving out spoilers from the arena on Facebook and Reddit for breaching 'policy'. It does seem like he's taking the rough with the smooth and taking some positives of the situation, which I feel is the right thing to do.

I actually don’t find him Unattractive…however his dress sense is truly shocking.

I wondered if production was always planning on resting Athena and Bionic and possibly Comet this series , but having Fury about (like Nitro and Legend, because she’s v popular). Then due to Giant going, they decided on 4 new ones. Maybe Cyclone didn’t like the way they went about that (I think she’s pretty good friends with Bionic, going on holidays etc). Then Phantom has taken unexpected compassionate leave. So they’re 2 down in total numbers they weren’t planning on.

Then what is going on?! It’s all very strange. I wonder if there is the main roster of Gladiators and so may make appearances if there are injuries etc. The American Gladiators did that a lot in rhe 90s.

Its very confusing with all the rumours and gladiators not being there on all days etc....... i had assumed when the advertised months ago for new gladiators it was due to all the injuries last year, as the ones left had to do so many events it was too much for them. But people seem to think they are doing straight replacements, which seems bonkers to me as you still dont have enough people if they all get injured like last year!
