a) moar freds
b) Stops cluttering up the TV thread
c) There's another two months after these so I'm sure a few of us can post a lot of shite about it.

I was thinking this. The bloke in blue at 6'1 is comfortably the biggest contender of the four men we've had so far.Originally Posted by niko_cee
It hasn't happened yet but Clattenburg (who is desperately trying and failing to be John Anderson) was way too hasty with the "RELEASE" last week, especially on gauntlet.
The chumps should actually have to beat the gladiators.
Oh and Viper is the shittest new Gladiator, fuck him.
Apparently the ratings for the first one were 6.2 million which is freakishly high.
This new event is horseshit.
Legend looked very lumbering up there, I thought after he'd done well on Hang Tough he might be nimble enough for this.
Fun idea for an event though.
Christ, really? That's loads these days, isn't it?
I reckon it'd be alright with a Gladiator who moved.
Where's the Wall though?
Yeah it does seem a bit better, women's have been better as they're more agile.
Fury going for a big tackle and whiffing was good.
Surely you should get maximum points for taking the Gladiator out on that one?
Hm, maybe this event isn't good. The Gladiators could probably just do a flying crossbody to do this.
Viper is so wank, especially in Gauntlet.
He's been bullied every single time. Might as well not even be there.
A lot of the male gladiators seem very immobile by comparison with the original. Pretty sure they were all pretty nimble despite their size, a few of these are just immobile obelisks.
It is really well done as a show though. Perfect family entertainment.
I wonder if you go back to the first OG series if the Gladiators were also just a bit poo at some of the events until they got used to it? But yeah, Viper is rank at Gauntlet in particular.
If I was a Gladiator in Gauntlet I'd just be hoping I didn't get the sofa cushions.
Also in the absence of them having cloned Jet I reckon I might be a Sabre guy.
Some of these Gladiator "FACTS" are amazing.
I believe last week it said one of them car run as fast as car, going at 22mph...
The gauntlet used to be a lot narrower I think, you can just breeze through this one.
The only person who hasn't made it through the gauntlet was the last who twisted his knee.
Maybe throw it in the bin as it seems way too easy now.
Right are the Gladiators being told not to move up to meet them at the edge of their zone? They're so passive.

Quite impressed that the Mercury estate are still letting them use Another One Bites The Dust.
Sabre and Diamond.
And a bit of Fury.
Woooo The Wall!
WALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wouldn't mind seeing the Pyramid coming back too.
Pyramid must be a health and safety nightmare.
Nitro was rapid up there.
Fair play to John too.
That little dweeb in the crowd with ear defenders on.
Please tell me Wolf is involved in some way.
Nothing yet sadly.
Turns out you can win the wall if you just don't do your laces up properly.
They need to get them in proper lace-up boots.
I reckon I could smash the travellator.
Yesterday I went to B&Q, I couldn't find a working lift and the travellator going up to the first floor was out of order so I CASUALLY walked up the travellator that was going in the reverse way.
Piss easy.
Serious faceplant from John. Ouch.
John have a mare here. The fall off the beam looked sore.
Zoe is completely gassed.
They must dial it back after a while.
Women gladiators is much more fun than men gladiators.
Oh dear, the ladies have completely borked this.
I love a "both contenders standing at the bottom of the travelator looking shattered" moment.
Another fun episode. So glad they've not fucked this.
Barney needs punting though.
The eliminator is just great TV. Props to whoever designed the run 30 plus years ago.
Barney has Roman Roy vibes which I have to say I'm not entirely against.
It's telling with the Eliminator that other than the bendy balance beam they haven't, I think(?), felt the need to change anything else. Has a bit of everything.
No handbike for the men, guess that's equality.
I read somewhere that Bradley Walsh and the mannequin he brought with him are only signed up for one series so it might be a new presenting team next time. Who will line up alongside Jermaine Jenas is the question
The women tonight looked liked they'd never climbed a rope or a cargo net before. I feel like those would be things you'd have a go at before going on telly.
Rochelle from off of The Saturdays.
Wolf. In a suit.
The game is far too dangerous as designed so the gladiators have clearly been told they have to be careful, which just makes it a bit tragic. If they were allowed to go all out someone would die.
What's the event?
I hope it involves scaffolding.
Sort of bulldog 30 feet up on a lattice of balance beams.What's the event?
