westlondonmist Posted March 26 Posted March 26 For whatever reason I've fallen behind on gladiators and only just seen heat 5. That was the worst episode I've ever seen. The contenders seemed to struggle, I don't think any contestant got points on more than 2 events, 3 contestants got disqualified on Duel and then the eliminator. I don't think any of them really deserved to go through tbh. The eliminator I'm torn, yeah I felt bad that she fell but I don't think she did the monkey bars and they didn't seem to be honest about it, she then caught up. What if she'd won? Why didn't they make a bigger platform or measure her reach. Actually overall this series feels kind of weak. Like the contender quality overall is quite low (in comparison anyway as I'm aware that they are all fit and athletic) and definitely a lack of characters amongst the contenders. Quote
Paid Members Statto Posted March 28 Paid Members Posted March 28 It was the final, and Emily was a very impressive contender, but a contender scoring 40 out of a possible 50 points? The Class of '92 Glads would be turning in their graves. Quote

Im pretty certain they've turned it off in the past to let people get up it. Quote
westlondonmist Posted April 24 Posted April 24 Giant left Gladiators, saying that it didn't meet his values. Fuck knows what that means. But my son will be gutted. Quote
Paid Members Jazzy G Posted April 24 Paid Members Posted April 24 Was Giant the one that got into trouble for some talk about steroids or some such last series? I wonder whether this is quitting before he got fired. Quote

He was an IFBB pro, of course he was on them. Quote
Paid Members Arch Stanton Posted April 24 Paid Members Posted April 24 Just learned that Giant's real name is Jamie BIGG, haha! Quote
DavidB6937 Posted April 24 Posted April 24 Sounds like his new partner is on OnlyFans and BBC didn't like it. Quote

I really don't think it is, I don't think people would really give a fuck. I find it quite bizarre that they care. My son doesn't care who Jamie Bigg is dating, he doesn't even know who Jamie Bigg is, he knows who Giant is. Quote

The newspaper headline won't say Jamie Bigg, it will say GLADIATORS GIANT PORN WIFE SHAME and the sub headline will be New BBC Scandal It won't matter she isn't his wife, just his partner, and don't tell me that OnlyFans isn't porn, it is for the Daily Mail readers. By getting rid of him they've avoided that potential scandal. You and I can tell the difference because we are not idiots. I don't care if his new partner goes full Bernie Slaven and bares her arse in Binns window, but the BBC has to be sensible now because of all the things that have happened in the past. Quote
Tim Healys Chutney Spoon Posted April 25 Posted April 25 (edited) Seems like it was to do with his new partner and nothing to do with the drugs issue. Like said above, if he's not doing it i dont see the issue. He's a good Gladiator too and one of the popular ones https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cpvx9yjk9ggo Edited April 25 by Tim Healys Chutney Spoon Quote
