Tbf I think the spirit of the original show was everyday fitness fans taking on massive professional hulksters, with nimbleness and bravery their main weapons. So a roidhead v roidhead clash wouldn't make for great viewing.

Isn't it just that most of the events, and particularly the one defining event, are better suited to speed and agility? Also, fast/agile people are generally better at 99% of sports/physical activities than lumbering 'roid mess folk.Originally Posted by Manc
The female contestants by comparison are perfectly normal sized.
Yeah I bet peak Jonah Lomu would have been shit at it.
The manlets would have beaten him on the eliminator.
Anything where gravity is your enemy would ruin the big lads.
Powerball and Gauntlet would be worth the admission alone though.
ffs, Betti made the semis.
Dunno if that's the case with her but it's a weird format where you could make the semis without winning a round.
She did win in her heat as she skipped an even to be fresh for the Eliminator and came back from 13s behind or something.
But you can lose every round and make the semis.
Jake coming back, ugh.
Dev just didn't want to risk making the final and being obliterated by Chung.
It's a shame we're getting Chung v Wesley in the other semi.
That should have been the final.
What a point from Finlay.
That was a proper slugfest.
Bronte/Diamond is a duel I could watch forever.
Finlay chucking that because he doesn't want to enter the Chunger Games.
Bronte
Not even trying to go to the sides which is the easiest strategy, just ramming it up the middle.
They need to do something with Gauntlet.
Nitro is a cheat code on the wall.
Fucking hell he's lightning.
He really is, he's so good. Apollo is better than you'd expect on this for the size of him.
Here we go, Guy making the Edge sound like they're entering Jason Vorhees' house
Finlay's life must have flashed before his eyes, he was really fucking close to the metal (why not pad it?) when he was pushed off there.
Get fucked Betti and Jake.
Hold up, I've got to wait a fortnight for semi final 2 because it's the fucking Saudibowl next week? Get fucked, put that shit on BBC3.
Wesley was ROBBED against Giant on Duel. Seething.
They need to either scrap Gauntlet or ditch the pads and let them properly chuck the contestants around.
The mittens are irredeemable but the only issue with the logs is the hand holds are too close together.
A) Chung
B) christ almighty, that women's eliminator. Amazing stuff. Eliminator is, as our man Jimmy Floyd pointed out, perfect.
Add the fifth Glad back in and it might have a chance
What an episode that was tonight. Emotions all over the gaff.
I’ve been watching this with the kids. Only up to episode 5 (old man called Paul) whereas last nights was 10 apparently.
It is entertaining, but Bradley Walsh’s son is dreadful.
I'm a twit
I thought Apollo's little promo was quite good but his floppy mortgage advisor hair really betrays him.
My mother is watching this for some reason. Was it always this crap?
Nitro mugging off Wes big style on the Wall tonight, and in the final no less. Its all well and good being smug when there's no Chung to show you up there.
The woman definitely should have been disqualified on the bridge game for standing still. Get Pierlugi Collina in for S2 to lay down the law properly if Clattenburg isn't up to the job
More of a Nigel Owens gig I think, as we're looking for Saturday night camp.
