Why are the gladiators being so mean this week!

[Autther]

It's usually all good sport but it's like they've been told to dial up the aggression this week. They also seem to have some contestants this series who don't quite seem up to it and it's hard to watch

Because they are all trying to make a name for themselves and be remembered so they can go on various 'celebrity' programmes.

Surely it’s all planned and choreographed, like wrestling is? I don’t believe any of the attitude is genuine, and the contestants must be prepped to expect it.

I thought it was a bit much this week too! I think the arrival of Cyclone has shaken them all up. She's obviously been brought in as the female "baddie".

Yes I understand that 😁 so why were they being so aggressive? It's not fun, the fun is in the characters not genuinely battering the contestants 😂
