He is rather nice! I'm liking Legend at the moment but Giant looks like he'd give some proper hugs and has a really cheeky smile!

MumGuilt101 · 16/03/2025 02:23

I have a crush on literally all of the Gladiators to be honest.

didn’t like either male contestant tonight. Wish neither of them had gone through 🙄

XxSideshowAuntSallyx · 16/03/2025 06:47

I wanted Rachel to win because she seemed to genuinely be enjoying herself, and there didn't seem a competitive side to her.

Ooh interesting, I disagree. I thought she came across a bit arrogant tbh - seemed like when she got beaten in events it always because she "slipped" etc rather than because the Gladiator beat her. Athena made a veiled dig about it after The Wall and I think she made a comment that got Fury's back up last time she was on too. Not one of my favourite contestants.

oh yes he is cute. he was on WILTY afterwards. really sweet.

I didn't like either of the guys. Andy was not nice when Giant got hurt.

fanaticalfairy · 16/03/2025 21:03

Do you think they get to practice the events before the show? Like is that the very first time they've tried the eliminator etc?

I have realised that I have a crush on Steel 😊

When they show his intro bit with his stats we do a cheer when he goes from his serious look to his big smile.

Legend is The Best for entertainment value.

Oh no I wish they wouldn’t push an Apollo/Sabre showmance on us. Cringe!

purpleme12 · 22/03/2025 22:12

Amanda did so good with that ball game

I like both Joe's.
But really like Joe H and wanted him to win. But kind of knew he wouldn't as well against Joe F.

I can't help feeling like it's all too easy for Joe F

I wondered about that.

are they both single in real life?

I like all the pantomime drama of the “backstage” stuff, but that seemed a bit odd to me? Like how far would they go with that type of scripted drama?

purpleme12 · 22/03/2025 23:03

Yeah that bit was a bit odd

It's so forced and fake, and it was so awkwardly wooden too.

Sabre is a lesbian so even stranger LOL

Don't like the locker room stuff. Very fake 🙄🤦

thebignewtvsbroken · 23/03/2025 09:38

Ok, so if sabre is a lesbian then it’s obviously just a very lighthearted bit of play acting then. Doubt it’ll go much further. Fair enough

LuckysDadsHat · 23/03/2025 11:37

Is sabre a lesbian? I know she left a very abusive relationship, but i didn't know she was gay. I can't see anything about this either.

Samcro · 23/03/2025 11:43

I wanted bearded Joe to win. find fast Joe and his sob stories annoying.

purpleme12 · 23/03/2025 11:49

I wanted him to win too

Plus it just seemed too easy to fast Joe to me

OP posts:
purpleme12 · 23/03/2025 11:50

I mean there's something that draws you to the ones that clearly find it hard (and they're obviously still good)

Just realised I have a crush on Mark Clattenberg! 😍🤣 I’ll have him over a Gladiator

Sob stories? His mum died and he had no father. What a cruel thing to say.

JitterbugFairy · 23/03/2025 13:47

Viper is beautiful 😍

XxSideshowAuntSallyx · 23/03/2025 13:59

I'd take any of the male gladiators to be fair. They all have something about them. Last season it was definitely Apollo, this season I'm not fussy. 😂😂.

We always laugh at viper because he's meant to be mean but he's a bit rubbish at most of the events! 🤣

ithinkicanithinkican · 23/03/2025 16:12

Just caught up with the semifinal. Really enjoyed it - was backing Amanda for the women so was delighted to see her storming performance in Powerball, amazing! Also enjoyed Joe H so much - esp his speech at the end. But also liked how free Joe F was with his feelings and emotions in terms of expressing love for his family - they both felt like good role models. It was like the antidote to Adolescence (which I watched last night). And Legend really makes me laugh - I would love to see him in a proper pantomime as the villain!
