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

Who’s watching? Loving it so far!

Newgirls · 28/03/2026 20:24

I watched it. Chaos on the men’s eliminator! Missed legend and loads of the glads seemed injured. Happy with the winners. A really fun series.

PearlsTeapot · 28/03/2026 21:20

I’m sad it’s over, Saturday nights won’t be the same now!

A fantastic finale. Missed Legend!

purpleme12 · 28/03/2026 21:28

The male Eliminator was quite a watch!

They both got bested by the balance beam!

Great final. 4 outstanding contestants and great sporting attitude - especially the women.

Yes, Naomi was so gracious at the end and Emily responded beautifully. Both fab women.

Gingercar · 28/03/2026 23:18

Just watched it. Yes they were all likeable, good competitors and sports. I didn’t really mind which won. It was very close in both finals, and the winners were both respectful and kind to the runners up.

Newgirls · 29/03/2026 08:55

Yes great sports all round.

didn’t see much of diamond and Athena this series? A few had their legs strapped. I wonder if that rugby ball game will go next year so we get fewer injuries. Even fury had her shoulder strapped!

Really enjoyed the women’s final in particular. Wonderful seeing a 40-y-o woman doing so well - esp in the Eliminator, with such a big difference in start time! And the men’s final was very dramatic - I was shouting on the sofa! I’m not sure why I enjoy this programme so much but I really do, look forward to season 4.

I watched yesterday and liked all the contestants.
What stood out was how sporting the contestants and gladiators were. They were all keen to credit the others which was really nice

I think Diamond and Athena got injured earlier on the show

And I think Fury got her injury in real life, not on Gladiators

I absolutely love it

So do I! I don’t know why, I don’t exercise but I just love it.

I’ll miss it now!

It's just good, old fashioned family entertainment... You won't worry about being offended, it's good show of sportsman ship, it's a little bit cheesy... It's generally a fun show

Aw Giant is leaving Gladiators! I liked him

purpleme12 · 24/04/2026 16:05

I know I can't believe it!

Disappointing 😔

The message was a bit cryptic wasn't it

OP posts:
IAmKerplunk · 24/04/2026 16:32

It was! I wonder what wasn’t aligning and if they will replace him?

BlackCat14 · 24/04/2026 18:01

Just read the statement he made- I’m very curious to know what choice he was given!

Womblingmerrily · 24/04/2026 18:45

Re; Giant

Explaining further to The Mirror, Jamie linked his exit to his desire to make his relationship public. He said: "After three incredible seasons on Gladiators, I was shocked and disappointed to learn that I wouldn’t be returning to the show for season four. This news followed shortly after I had shared plans to go public with my relationship."

He added: "My partner, Taylor, is someone I’m incredibly proud of. While she is known for her work on OnlyFans, that is just one part of what she does, a business-minded entrepreneur, someone who dedicates her time to fostering dogs and genuinely one of the kindest people I’ve ever met. Her values align closely with my own.

"During conversations with the BBC, ‘child safeguarding’ was raised, something I take extremely seriously, especially as a father and role model. I want to be clear that I have always upheld the standards expected of me, both professionally and personally. Being a positive role model has always been central to who I am, on and off screen. I stand by my values, and I stand by the people I love.

Oh wow interesting

I didn't know any of this

OP posts:
Newgirls · 24/04/2026 19:05

because it’s a family show and his partner does only fans he’s leaving? That’s tough but I guess the producers were pre-empting any negative news coverage they might get. He was good on the show - tho seemed to be injured a lot

IAmKerplunk · 24/04/2026 19:16

Oh wow!
