Assume I'm ok to post in here without spoilers?
Should Gauntlet just be renamed "Free 10 Points"? They've pretty much all breezed through it in both episodes, the only one not doing so being the one that sprained his leg (and that could have happened on any game...). I'm sure this one used to seem much harder, have they widened the gauntlet maybe? Other than that, loving everything else about this! |

Really enjoying this. The Edge is such a fantastic addition to the events.

Ashley from Episode 3 is in my running club!
Was obsessed with this back in the day and I’m really enjoying this revival. Glad they’ve kept it as similar as possible to the old format and really played on the nostalgia factor. They’ve obviously asked Legend and Viper to adopt obnoxious personas for the purposes of the show, which is a bit silly but I guess they wanted to have some pantomime villains like Wolf back in the day. |

I loved Ash, he was on again tonight as fastest runner up was cheering him on! Also legend is my favourite he is so funny with the obnoxious personality makes me laugh. Viper is a bit meh as he doesn’t say anything. |

Ugh I was hoping they'd replace Barney. Bradley is good but Barney is just there off nepo and is really cringe. They could do with a woman cohost, Ulrika was so good back in the day.
Season was great though! Although bullshit that all they win is a trophy, they used to get money & a car & people could really do with support these days! |

In the Australian series earlier this year the two winners will become gladiators in the new series. That is if they do a new series. |

Are people just accustomed and numb to Bradley’s hosting on almost everything now?
 all series I found him to be very cringe and insufferable, whereas Barney was actually a pretty decent host and could probably take it on himself next series if it didn’t require them having to speak to two contenders/a contender and a gladiator at a time before and after events. All in all this was an excellent first series though, and was rooting for both winners by the end so was thrilled for them!

I loved this season. It brought back so much nostalgia from the 90s.
Barney was DREADFUL though. There are literally hundreds of better options to present the show. |

I enjoyed this comeback series! It brought me right back to my childhood.
 Who is everyone's favourite Gladiator? I'd say Diamond or Fury out of the female Gladiators, and it really has to be Legend for the males who really stole the show with his persona. However for other reasons, I'd say Steel. What about events? I feel like a couple of them didn't work as well as they could do... Gauntlet always seems a bit too easy for the contestants to complete due to the Gladiators having to RELEASE! after like two seconds. Although I think that event brought the most drama (though manipulated in some cases, I'm sure) which could be entertaining. I think The Wall perhaps gave the contestants a little bit too much of a headstart? I like The Edge and Collision, and of course Duel is a classic. *.*Presenters - well, the show is supremely light entertainment, and to that end I didn't actually mind Bradley and Barney as a duo. I totally understand why people would find Barney to be wooden... but I think he worked as being "the sensible one" as a kind of foil to Bradley's silly jokes/puns. |

I thought there could be better hosts but they were fine, its light entertainment nothing serious.
Favourite gladiator Legend he is just hilarious, Phantom for other reasons though hehe! Best challenge is duel by far I love it, the wall was kinda good but maybe too much of a head start? |
