March 28Mar 28 I don't know but I found the whole final very underwhelming this year. I didn't really feel I was invested in anyone for the journeys they had been on to get here. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
March 28Mar 28 Emily did great, very happy for her Josh... bit of an underwhelming winner for the males considering he'd barely been there and kept seeming to progress further based on luck alone but oh well. Tyler continuing to boss Destruction was great!
March 28Mar 28 Shame this series is over, I personally was rooting for Tyler and Emily but can't begrudge Josh winning, yes some of it luck but it didn't let it stop him from giving his all.
April 24Apr 24 Giant won’t be returning for series 4 it seems, having left after ‘being faced with a choice that didn’t align with his values’. Interesting, and a shame because he’s one of the best (and most encouraging) male personalities they have on the show!
July 27Jul 27 I’m not surprised at Athena being axed, but Bionic is… a choice. Unless it’s related to the injury he had during the last series.Not sure how I feel about guest gladiators being introduced either when it feels like some gladiators already don’t get nearly enough competition time as others 🥱 feels like they’re just going to damage the brand by tinkering with the format and lineup so much.
July 27Jul 27 Hate to say it but Athena was largely dreadful, so no big loss with her.Bionic was a bit underused, so I don’t really have any strong feelings towards him, positive or negative. Though he's seemingly a local (north east) lad which is a shame, so that’s about the only thing I can say for him 😂 Edited July 27Jul 27 by Lee_J11
July 29Jul 29 George Clarke, Chris Ramsey, AJ Odudu and Sara Pascoe confirmed as the celebrities for this year's celebrity special!
July 31Jul 31 What the helly?! What's going on? Though that celeb lineup is amazing!I really hope Bionic isn't axed... He's about 99% of the reason I watch this show (I lie, I'd watch it regardless... But he's certainly no reason to switch the channel over... For reasons). Maybe he's just taking a while to recover, and will be back at a later point, and that's why he was apparently missing from filming?

Wonder what they’ve got them doing this time… 👀

He was told to stop doing it or leave the show due to their young audience, he claimed that went against his values... 🤨 (He wasn't told to break up with her as they claimed but to stop promoting her OF).
August 6Aug 6 I went to the filming of this yesterday and it was a semi-final!Obviously I won’t say too much or spoil anything but it was very enjoyable (if overly looooong!) and I did indeed see Joe Marler!
