Gladiators take the rules into their own hands on Gauntlet | Gladiators - BBC

They're all at it! 😱

#Gladiators #iPlayer

Gladiators ready! A new generation of superhumans take on brave contenders in the ultimate test of speed and strength. It's all-out action, with Bradley and Barney Walsh in charge.

Love the casual shrug that Diamond made when Mark confronted her.

[tairschol]

"strong, tough and unbreakable". They lost 🤣🤣🤣

Haha, love it, it's an entertainment show at the end of the day and always has been. My kids love this kind of thing and I always felt that was kind of the main target audience. Enjoying the new series as I did when younger back in the 90s.

This is the best revival of a classic 90s show. Literally cant wait to watch it on Saturday. Well done bbc 👏 👍🏻

Respect to Athena for actually following the rules of the game!

God do I love Sabre! She is by far my favourite Gladiator on the reincarnated series! The new series isn't perfect but with a few changes (bringing back Atlas balls/more classic events and changing the presenters) it will be amazing. I've really been loving that Gladiators is back and popular again, with over 8 million live viewers for each episode meaning that a second series should be in the bag at this point. I just hope the producers make a few minor tweaks to the show and it'll be back to it's best. I really hope that Sabre stays on the show too. I know she was injured but will hopefully continue after she makes a full recovery.

Never mess with Mark ClattenBurg the referee

Gauntlet is far too easy for the contenders, they need to make the half-pipe smaller

[krisridge]

Woah reality television at its finest.
😅

[SuperDaz]

Clearly a setup but makes for good entertainment

[thewilk]

“We’re strong tough and Un breakable”.

“I just broke them though Bradley didn’t I?” Ha ha ha brilliant

[evilzzzability]

Gladiators can play dirty too! Haha.
Actually this was the highest compliment they could give to Brontë; they all knew she was a very strong competitor.

[andromedaone]

That Bronti put the Gladiators to shame right from the offset, she should be a Gladiator her self.

[TheIndustrialRetrospective]

this is hilarious, bronte was so good the gladiators knew they had to cheat to even have a chance to stop her! the mvp of season imo

[KayleighNatasha]

Sabre looks like she isn't that bothered

[alastairthwaite]

Athena didn't get the 'no holds barred' memo.

[neocloudmarts]

Although it looks like a set up, it actually drains energy of the contender.

[kerrygligorovic]

I thought the male Gladiators (like Viper and Legend) often break the rules in any games but I never really expected female Gladiators would ever break the rules like this one, but at least Athena never break the rules in the Gaunlet unlike the other three.

This episode was a total joke. First of all, Bronte (the amazing winner!) who won legitimately in the heat shouldn’t have even been competing against someone who originally lost, regardless of whether they were a runner up or not. The only reason Sasha even had a headstart was because she was handed a free win from Diamond in The Edge.

Secondly, a contender like Wesley who didn’t even originally compete in the heat should never have been allowed in the quarter finals 😂😂. Yea I understand the original guy Finlay was injured but surely they could have replaced him with a second runner up from the male side instead of using someone who didn’t even actually compete to get to the quarter finals and is now in the semi’s 😂. What an absolute joke lmao. And the only reason he won was because his opponent was injured and had to opt out of all those points from The Gauntlet.

[NessLover]

That contender deserved those ten points!
