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

So glad he won.... The other guy is a complete and utter arrogant and cocky shit.

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

Is feel more sorry if he wasn't such a arrogant contender.

Why did you think he was arrogant? I didn’t see it.

Well, he that's how he came across.

Just thought a lot of himself.

purpleme12 · 14/03/2026 22:10

It may have been him who I thought was a bit full of himself previously (I can't remember to be honest) but I didn't have the same strength of feeling about it as came across in your post

And I didn't notice any of that tonight

Gutted for Mo as he was definitely going through to the final before he got injured. Agree Finn came across really badly.

Really? Tilt... smug look when he got Viper, post tilt interview a prime example.

He didn't come across as cocky as before , because he did quite badly this time...

PearlsTeapot · 14/03/2026 22:14

I didn’t get that vibe from him tonight! There’s been much worse contenders, like Mo who I thought was a bad sport sometimes.

Edited

Maybe that was why

Just to me it still came across a bit harsh in your post

But anyway

Funny how different people see things differently. I liked Finn and thought he came across as a nice lad.

purpleme12 · 14/03/2026 20:15

That's weird

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

I think they released it earlier on iplayer as Iwatched it on iplayer thinking i was catching up before last nights episode, and then i came on live and it was the episode id just watched 🤷‍♀️

keepingitcoolagain · 15/03/2026 16:17

Tyler and Finn both annoying but Tyler only benefited in the same way the guy who beat him as a sub last minute did .

Yeah they did release it on iplayer early!

I agree that the bringing in of substitutions is done in a really unfair way! There doesn’t seem to be any good reason why the new person should profit by (or be handicapped by) the injured person’s points…
I also think it’s unfair when there’s a massive difference in how strong the gladiators opposing them are for different events (eg if a tiny contender gets a really tall gladiator for the wall and a tall contender gets a less tall one).
just as well that I am in no condition to go on it because I would find it hard to be as good a sport as the contendors do about this!
I’m looking forward to seeing Tyler in the eliminator again in the final because it really could go either way with him.

So, what would you do in the event of injury?

Justploddingonandon · 16/03/2026 20:00

In most sporting events, the non-injured person would automatically go through if their opponent had to drop out due to injury, but that doesn’t make for very good tv.

purpleme12 · 16/03/2026 20:02

Yes love an Eliminator match!

Athletics will do it .

.but I guess it's in the .rules , and. If . contestants don't like that rule, they can . choose not to participate

So who’s going to win the final?

I was really rooting for Millie to win! Now I don’t mind out of the women. I want the teacher to win just because imagine the jesting he’ll get from the kids, but also the Scottish man as I’m patriotic!

So ultimately I don’t have a favourite.

Pricesandvices · 27/03/2026 09:39

The last few blokes have been doing Hyrox together ❤️. It's on Tyler's Instagram.

They've all done a brilliant job to get to the final. I don't mind who wins.
