    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.

    The female contestants by comparison are perfectly normal sized.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Bronte

    Not even trying to go to the sides which is the easiest strategy, just ramming it up the middle.

    He really is, he's so good. Apollo is better than you'd expect on this for the size of him.

    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.

    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.

    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 thought Apollo's little promo was quite good but his floppy mortgage advisor hair really betrays him.

    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.
