Anyone watching

Just watched this week's

I feel so bad for the girl who couldn't do the monkey bars (was it the monkey bars she couldn't jump to?).
And when she fell it looked really bad each time
The eliminator was a bit of a hard watch this week
She was so lovely

Meeeeee i love it! But yes felt bad for her especially as her whole thing at the start was how she wanted to show that short people could do anything. Mind you I’m about 9 inches taller than her and I couldn’t have done it either!

I felt really sorry for the male contestant who lost his shoe at the start of the eliminator. He was constantly gesturing to the marshalls for his shoe and was ignored. They eventually gave him his shoe after a dangerous failed attempt at the travelator but he was so far behind by then.

Oh yes I don't even know when or how it came off!!
I missed him gesturing for it well I didn't even realise it had come off till later!

It would probably put you off wouldn't it

Although with hindsight he should have wasted a few seconds putting it back on at the beginning as he might have caught up again rather than being so far behind at the end.

Yeah they properly stitched him up by not giving him his shoe back

There was no rule on the Eliminator that you had to stop if your shoe fell off so I don't know why it's different here

Naomi looked quite pissed off about that.

This is a big head start

I really thought Tyler was going to do it!
That was a good Eliminator!

Great for Josh but he hardly completed in any of the challenges and then goes on to win. Tyler looked absolutely gutted. I wonder how much time they have between the challenges i.e. could it be argued that Tyler had exerted himself much more meaning Josh was fresher for the eliminator? But then if it's filmed over 2 days that argument wouldn't have much credibility as there would be plenty of rest between challenges.

I watched it live (although not this episode) and it was filmed over one day

Yes Tyler was pissed off/upset
He was a good contender to be fair

But probably was more tired than Josh as well

Tyler's back!

SideshowAuntSallyxx · 14/03/2026 20:08

Why are so many people getting injured?

Also it feels a bit unfair to bring in a substitute at such a late stage in the heat.

Ridiculous that Tyler went through instead of Fin 🤨

SideshowAuntSallyxx · 14/03/2026 20:14

I was gutted for Finn. They really need to rethink when to bring in subs

That's weird

I read your comment when you posted it but The male Eliminator hadn't started yet on our Tele 🤔

How else could they do it fairly though? They need to win something to get through and without the pressure of a contender to race against the eliminator wouldn't work.

Cyclone was a force to be reckoned with tonight!!

Could it be they've tightened up on injuries this series? Maybe the same number were injured in the first couple of series and they battled through but came off worse / sued the production team?

Show quote history

I think they should have at least started equally with no head start. Although that still wouldn’t be 100% fair as one contender is tired from completing the events and one is fresh as a daisy 🙄
