00:00Sheffield Arena, the home of Gladiators!
00:04Are you ready?
00:07Please make some noise for your hosts, Bradley and Vahey Walsh!
00:19Thank you so much!
00:21Hello and welcome to a brand new series of Gladiators!
00:28And hello Sheffield!
00:34We are back with a new class of brave contenders ready to take on the toughest game show on telly!
00:46And we have not one, not two, but three brand new jaw-dropping events!
00:54Yes!
00:55And of course, we have 18 incredible superhumans who are like no other!
01:03Yeah!
01:04Yeah!
01:05Yeah!
01:06Yeah!
01:07Yeah!
01:08Yeah!
01:09Yeah!
01:10Yeah!
01:11Yeah!
01:12Yeah!
01:13Yeah!
01:15Yeah!
01:16We're coming off
01:22We're coming off
01:25We're coming off
01:28We're coming off
01:30Whoever we come across
01:33We're taking no loss
01:34We're in your love
01:35Wow
01:41Imagine going up against that lot
01:44Well, luckily, we don't have to
01:45But these guys do.
01:48I'm Finn, I'm 23, I'm from the Lake District, and I'm a welder.
01:54I've been a welder for five years, work on a local nuclear waste site.
01:58Being the contender on Gladiators is like welding.
02:01You've got to be precise, calm under pressure, and hot.
02:06I train six days a week at the gym, but also I do like a little bit of variation,
02:10so me and my friends get together and we go up the fells for a run.
02:13Running up one of them is quite tough and challenging.
02:15The steeper it gets, the harder it gets.
02:17I feel like I thrive in competition.
02:19I like to prove that anything is possible.
02:23You can achieve everything you put your mind to.
02:27My name is Josh, I am 27 from Glasgow,
02:30and I'm an area sales manager for a commercial gym chain.
02:34I was in the Royal Marines for a brief time,
02:37but my mum took really not well, and I had a decision to make.
02:40Ultimately, I chose to leave and support my family.
02:42Mum, Claire, had been battling cancer for eight years.
02:48Unfortunately, she passed in August 2024.
02:51Since then, me and my brother Ben and my uncle Craig have taken guardianship
02:58of our little brother Max, who has autism,
03:01so that comes with a number of different challenges.
03:04With the adversity that Max has gone through over the last number of years,
03:09or something that no child should go through,
03:11I want to show him that the sky's the limit.
03:12Good luck, Josh. Make us all proud, and I know you're going to win.
03:20Please welcome Finn and Josh.
03:23Please introduce yourself to Sheffield Arena.
03:39I'm Finn, I'm 23, and I'm a welder from Cumbria.
03:43Yes!
03:44Tell us, what do you do your welding?
03:46I work on nuclear power stations.
03:48That's the healthy glow you got.
03:50Now, you live with your mum and your brother, don't you?
03:55Are they in tonight?
03:56Yeah, my mum and my brother are over there,
03:57so my two best friends and my dad as well.
04:00All right. Which gladiator do you want to take on?
04:03Bionic.
04:04Bionic? Why Bionic?
04:07He's a big guy, but he will hit the floor hard.
04:10Really?
04:12Looks don't win your trophies, Bionic.
04:14That's right.
04:17What happens if you meet someone like Legend?
04:19If we get Legend, I'm going to weld his mouth shut.
04:22Oh!
04:25Boom!
04:26Got it!
04:27Let's hear from Finn!
04:33Josh, welcome to the show.
04:34Introduce yourself to the arena for us.
04:36All right, Sheffield, my name's Josh.
04:38I'm 27, and area sales manager from Glasgow.
04:40Yeah!
04:43You're in the Royal Marines.
04:44What did that teach you?
04:45Yeah, I spent a short time in the Royal Marines.
04:47During my time in there, I took away a lot of valuable skills,
04:50resilience, determination, all great qualities,
04:53I'm sure, are going to help me out today.
04:55You left the Royal Marines to look after your family.
04:57You took guardianship over your brother, Max.
04:59I sure did, yeah.
05:00Where's Max in the audience over there?
05:02Say hi, Max!
05:04Let's wish you all the best.
05:05That is Finn and Josh!
05:07So we have our male contenders.
05:12Time to get this year's heats underway.
05:15Powerball.
05:17Playing Powerball, it's our male contenders, Finn and Josh.
05:24Standing in their way are Phantom, Steel and Hammer.
05:30What a trio to take on in the first event.
05:40A bunch of behemoths.
05:44Just imagine trying to escape Steel's vice-like hold.
05:48More grip than a bull shark's bite.
05:52Hammer burst onto the scene last year
05:54and got straight into the swing of things.
05:56He likens himself to pistachio ice cream
05:59and no doubt he'll leave contenders
06:01taking a few licks.
06:04And here's Phantom, a specter of doom for contenders.
06:08He'll think they've seen a ghost.
06:11Over to the referee team,
06:13as ever, led by Mark Clattenburg,
06:15alongside assistants Lee Phillips
06:17and Sonia McClomer.
06:19Contenders, ready!
06:24Gladiators, ready!
06:31Three, two, one!
06:34A nervous smile from Finn.
06:37He's right to be nervous,
06:39but look at Josh go.
06:40That'll settle any anxiety he might have been feeling.
06:43He's got another!
06:44Josh leads 4-0 as they go to the Finns together.
06:47Release! Release!
06:48Oh, and that's a huge blow from Hammer.
06:50Ordered to let go by Mark Clattenburg.
06:53Steel and Phantom hit Josh hard.
06:56And look at Hammer, he wants to swap shirts!
06:58Finn gets his first score.
07:00Well played.
07:01Immediately met by another two points for Josh.
07:04Nobody's managed to score in the middle pod yet
07:08and get themselves three points.
07:10And it looks highly unlikely.
07:12These gladiators are defending with everything they've got.
07:15And the contenders are tiring.
07:17Finn again, he does lose his shirt this time.
07:19And Hammer will be worn.
07:21Mark Clattenburg stops the play.
07:23Hammer!
07:25I've already warned you in this game.
07:27Anymore, and you'll be out.
07:31You know Mark means business when he goes high pitch.
07:34Hammer skulks away.
07:36There are 15 seconds remaining.
07:40Three, two, one!
07:43So away we go for the final fling.
07:45And Finn scores two points.
07:47He's flying.
07:49He wants to make the most of what remains.
07:50Oh, there he goes!
07:52He's got three!
07:54He bangs one into the central pod.
07:56And what a way to conclude a rigorous, riveting game.
08:01That was pulsating.
08:03That was punishing.
08:04That's Powerball.
08:05Well, what a ripping way to start.
08:11Finn and Josh had to stretch for every point.
08:14But they scored really well.
08:16Josh, we're very nippy around there.
08:18Got some points early on.
08:19Yeah, yeah, yeah.
08:20I felt like I gave them a good run from the morning 10 of speed.
08:22But as soon as they get their hands on you, it's game over.
08:24They're so strong.
08:25And Finn, you got the centre bin.
08:27That's a three-pointer in the centre bin.
08:29Are you happy with that?
08:30Well, I suppose, after Hammer decided to rip my shirt off,
08:34I had to go it back to them, didn't I?
08:35So the three-point goes all right there.
08:38Before we finish there, we got a word from Mark Clattenberg, our referee.
08:44We were just checking one score from Finn.
08:46OK.
08:47But we can confirm that the score is legal,
08:51and therefore Finn's score of seven stands.
08:54Put it there.
08:55That is six points to Josh, seven points to Finn.
08:59Over to you, Dad.
09:00That's two minutes of our lives.
09:02We're never getting back again with Mark Clattenberg making that decision.
09:05We all saw that.
09:08That was a pretty brutal game.
09:10And I...
09:10Brad, any more back tat and I'll put you out of the arena.
09:15Yeah, go on.
09:17Don't come near me, mate.
09:18I've got my gang here.
09:20In the bin!
09:21In the bin!
09:22In the bin!
09:23In the bin!
09:24In the bin!
09:26In the bin!
09:27In the bin!
09:28Yes!
09:29Yes!
09:30Ha-ha!
09:31Comfortable, Mark.
09:32Finn's middle pod score means that Josh trails.
09:36The score, 6-7.
09:38Hey, kids.
09:40Time now to meet the female contenders taking on the gladiators tonight.
09:46My name's Rachel.
09:48I'm 39.
09:49I'm from Darlington.
09:50And I'm a priest.
09:53I became a Christian in 2012 in Afghanistan when I was serving with the army.
09:59About a year after that, I felt this calling to become a vicar.
10:02The Lord be with you.
10:04You know I'm back.
10:05Like I never left.
10:06I am a mum of two.
10:07I have a six-year-old and a 15-month-old.
10:10The church that I've developed is different from the norm in every possible way.
10:14We choose to worship outdoors.
10:15It's a place where there are so many children.
10:18And they are in every aspect of my life.
10:21I think the place where I get the biggest reaction to the fact that I'm a priest would
10:25be on the rugby pitch.
10:26And it's not until seeing me walk out of the changing rooms as a priest and they're
10:29like, what?
10:32I'm determined.
10:33I'm relentless.
10:34At the center of my faith is that Jesus shows us mercy.
10:37But in gladiators, I'm going to be showing none.
10:45I'm Naomi.
10:46I'm 40 years old.
10:47And I'm a business improvement consultant.
10:52I started hockey when I went into senior school.
10:55Then I was selected as an England captain at under-16s.
10:59Being in a team environment, being with a lot of people that I didn't know, I really
11:02had to bring out that extrovert in myself.
11:05That's something that sport did for me.
11:07I'm a mum of two young girls, Aurelia and Ioni.
11:11Both absolutely beautiful.
11:12They are my life.
11:14My girls absolutely adore this show.
11:17It brings us together as a family.
11:19Keep going.
11:19Well done.
11:20Well done.
11:21I respect the gladiators as athletes.
11:23But I do think I've got the superpower that they don't have.
11:26The fact that this competition means so much to my girls.
11:29I'm ready for it.
11:30Please welcome Rachel and Naomi.
11:49Welcome, welcome.
11:50Introduce yourself to the arena.
11:52I'm Rachel, I'm 39, I'm a priest, and I'm from Darlington.
11:57Yes!
11:58All right!
12:01Some of my rugby friends are over there in the audience.
12:03Oh, what a rugby team.
12:05Rev it up, Rachel.
12:07Is that what they call you, the Rev?
12:08They call me the Rev on the pitch, yeah.
12:09And being a priest and of the cloth, do you think the gladiators are going to take it
12:13easy on you?
12:14They know what's good for them.
12:15Rachel, everyone.
12:22Welcome to the show.
12:23Naomi, say hi to Sheffield for us.
12:25Hi, Sheffield.
12:26I'm Naomi.
12:26I'm 40.
12:27I'm a business consultant from Birmingham.
12:31Now, you're big into your hockey.
12:33That's a team sport, but you're here flying solo tonight.
12:36How do you feel about that?
12:38You know, I'll be honest, it's massively outside my comfort zone, being an individual athlete,
12:41but I'm doing it for my two little girls, so let's go.
12:43Love you girls.
12:46The girls have a favourite gladiator, don't they?
12:48They do.
12:48Their favourite gladiator is diamond.
12:51What would they think if you take on diamond tonight?
12:53I think they'll be rooting for me, but they won't mind if I lose, to be honest.
12:57Well, you know, they say diamonds are unbreakable.
12:59Can you be the first?
13:00I don't know anything about that.
13:01I'll be shattering diamonds tonight.
13:04Let's go.
13:05That's Rachel and Naomi.
13:09Now we've met our female contenders, it's time for them to take on their first event.
13:13Powerball.
13:18Playing Powerball for the female contenders, it's Rachel.
13:24And Naomi.
13:25And they are up against the might of Electro, Sabre, and Fury.
13:38What a fierce formation of gladiators.
13:41Sabre leads the pack out, and they look ready to hunt their prey down.
13:46Pussycat, pussycat, where have you been?
13:49Right here, just waiting for the next contenders.
13:55Fury absolutely loves the tackle.
13:58Contenders might think twice before taking her on.
14:05Electro's strength and lightning quick reflexes make her perfect for Powerball.
14:09She hits fast and hard.
14:14Contenders, ready!
14:20Gladiators, ready!
14:22Three, two, one!
14:31Off we go.
14:32It's Rachel in the red, it's Naomi in the blue, and straight away she's scored two points for an outer pod.
14:38Rachel's been targeted.
14:40Naomi, meanwhile, is dancing through.
14:42She's got another score, despite Electro trying to hang on.
14:46Rachel's got to get past two, and Fury against Rachel, the battle of the rugby players, was always going to be something to enjoy.
14:55Naomi being held onto this time by Electro, but she can't stop her.
14:59She's under six points already.
15:02Rachel just cannot score.
15:04Naomi's scoring for fun.
15:07It's 8-0 to Naomi.
15:09Rachel in the red here.
15:11She's got to stop bobbing and weaving.
15:13She's got to break through those tackles.
15:15But the Gladiators have hit top form right from the start.
15:20Electro ordered to release.
15:23Naomi scored, but that one won't count because the ball had hit the floor.
15:26Oh, Rachel, meanwhile, just cannot get going, and she's going to run out of time.
15:31Naomi absolutely first class in her first event.
15:36Rachel's smiling, but that might be because it's over.
15:41The Gladiators are clearly glad to be back.
15:45That was a fearsome defensive display.
15:48Too much for Rachel, but not for nimble Naomi.
15:53I've got to say, that looked pretty brutal watching that.
15:56Rachel, Saber, and Fury just teamed up on you.
16:00Yeah, I don't think my jaw is supposed to bend that way.
16:02Yeah.
16:03Some heavy old tackles going in there.
16:05Okay, Naomi, that was pretty good.
16:08Yeah.
16:09I'm really, really happy with that.
16:11They're tough.
16:13Electro, the speed, the strength.
16:16It was a phenomenal event, actually.
16:17Okay, no score for Rachel.
16:19Eight points for Naomi.
16:24I'm here with three of the fiercest Gladiators.
16:27I would say this is the Powerball Dream Team.
16:30You certainly had some tactics coming into this.
16:31We can't underestimate them both because they're both solid lasses, so we really had to be in our air game.
16:37And I think we did that.
16:38A grueling first event sees Rachel come away empty-handed.
16:45Naomi opens up an early lead with eight points.
16:49Our next event is Duel.
16:51One of the toughest events our contenders will have to face in the arena.
16:55And last series, not a single Gladiator was toppled from their podium.
17:00So they will be hoping for a clean sheet again tonight.
17:03This is Duel.
17:05Duel.
17:09Playing Duel for the male contenders, it's Josh.
17:14This is Viper.
17:25Oh, here he is.
17:27Viper slivers out and it looks like he's got it in for our contender.
17:31But imagine if Josh beat Viper.
17:34That would be his hysterical.
17:39Contender ready!
17:44Gladiator ready!
17:51En garde!
17:52Three, two, one!
18:02Oh, first strike to the snake.
18:06But it's a very quick recovery and spirited stuff from Josh.
18:10Viper is down!
18:12Josh gets ten points!
18:14He makes Viper hisssssstory!
18:24And now Viper is having a hissy fit.
18:27He's demolishing the podium.
18:29Get out of here!
18:30Viper!
18:32Viper!
18:33That is not acceptable here in this arena!
18:34Ouch!
18:36A red card for Viper!
18:38That's what you get when you're a rotten loser!
18:41Massive round of applause for Josh!
18:45Tobey for it! Tobey for it!
18:46He's a very, very strong Gladiator come up against.
18:48I knew it would be tough, but yeah, just got to stay there.
18:50Keep swinging and just pray.
18:53That is ten points!
18:54Congratulations!
18:55Josh!
18:58Come and have a look at this dent up here.
19:01Duel is destroyed!
19:06Viper!
19:08Oh!
19:12While he finds some other objects to destroy, maintenance have been in to repair the podium.
19:17Hope Viper's getting the bill.
19:19Next to Duel, it's Finn!
19:24And he is up against Giants!
19:28Oh!
19:29Giant!
19:37Giant's record in this event is formidable, with eight wins and one draw from nine jewels.
19:46Finn has a giant-sized job on his hands.
19:50Finn stands at six foot four.
19:52Giant may only be an inch taller, but he's 30 kilos heavier.
19:56That's almost five stone.
19:58Talk about moving mountains.
20:00That's what Finn's got to do.
20:03Contender, ready!
20:08Gladiator, ready!
20:15En garde!
20:23Three, two, one!
20:26The unwritten rule of Duel is that Giant wins.
20:30And he's started as though he means business here again.
20:33Oh!
20:34He's rocking now!
20:35He's rocking!
20:36Giant's going!
20:38Giant has gone!
20:40Giant has fallen!
20:42Unbelievable!
20:44Finn, the first contender ever to topple the Giants.
20:56Top techers from Finn.
20:57This is perfection with a bugle stick!
21:01Cannot believe what I've just seen!
21:06First things first.
21:08Gotta come to you.
21:09What happened?
21:11I knew he was up for it.
21:12He's a big lad.
21:13But if you grow more from losing in life than winning,
21:16I'll be back bigger and stronger and more fearless than ever.
21:19All right!
21:21Finn, you're pleased with that.
21:24My legs?
21:25My legs are shaking.
21:27The adrenaline's pumping.
21:29Yeah, I bet.
21:30Put it down.
21:31Absolutely brilliant.
21:33Finn!
21:34Ten points!
21:35What about that?
21:41Are you all right?
21:42I'm fine.
21:43It was always going to happen, wasn't it?
21:44Happens to us all.
21:45Would I rather happen to start a series and get some payback?
21:48Yeah!
21:49Now we're talking!
21:51Two gladiators defeated.
21:53History in the making.
21:55Both contenders with ten points takes the score to Finn 17, Josh 16.
21:59The first of our female contenders on the dual podium,
22:05it's Naomi versus Diamond.
22:24Diamond is the tallest female gladiator
22:26and she's flattened every contender she's faced on dual.
22:32The stats are stacked in undefeated Diamond's favour.
22:36Can hockey-loving Naomi bully her off that podium?
22:41Contender!
22:43Ready!
22:47Gladiator!
22:48Ready!
22:52En garde!
22:56Three!
23:01Two!
23:02One!
23:04Well, it had to be Naomi's girl's favourite, didn't it?
23:08Oh, and Diamond's done the business with ease!
23:11Blinken, you missed it!
23:13She said she'd shatter Diamond,
23:16but it's Naomi who's been left in pieces.
23:18Hey!
23:19Hey!
23:20Gonna get you two, three,
23:21but now no one bites the dust!
23:23A warning to all contenders,
23:25be careful with your words before you start.
23:29That's what you get for trash-talking.
23:31Oh, I've just been told it was 2.1 seconds.
23:35I've got to round you that up a bit, Barney, please.
23:38When I spoke to you, you said,
23:39Diamonds are unbreakable,
23:40but I'm going to break her.
23:42I mean...
23:43I think the words will shatter.
23:46You know what, though?
23:47Fair play.
23:48The pressure is incredible up there,
23:50and it is so intense,
23:52and I know you girls are huge fans.
23:54I want to say a big hi to those girlies!
23:56Hi, girls!
23:57Yeah!
23:59Unfortunately, Naomi, zero points.
24:01Better luck next time.
24:02That's Naomi and Diamond!
24:06The duel might not have lasted long,
24:08but Naomi taking Diamond over to meet Aurelia and Ione,
24:12well, that's a memory that will last forever.
24:15Next to battle on the duel podium,
24:17it is Rachel!
24:21And she is facing...
24:24Fire!
24:27Fire scorches contenders in this event.
24:40Those long arms make every strike a red-hot blow.
24:47Contender, ready!
24:52Gladiator, ready!
24:58On guard!
25:07Three!
25:08Two!
25:09One!
25:11Oh, did you see those eyes?
25:12Rachel looks determined.
25:14Fire as focused as ever,
25:16and she is landing blow after blow on our plucky priest.
25:19She's keeping her balance well, though,
25:22and she still looks as though she thinks she can at least go the full distance up on that podium.
25:28This is a really scrappy battle.
25:31Oh, fire nearly went!
25:32Fire nearly went!
25:34Can Rachel follow it up with another?
25:36They're jabbing at each other,
25:38but fire is being prevented from getting in a full swing,
25:41and Rachel gets five points!
25:45That has gone down very well with her friends and family.
25:50All fire's got from that is a handshake.
25:53Well done, Rachel!
25:56There aren't many, in fact, have there been any,
25:59to come back from a blow like that delivered by fire?
26:03Rachel, you were taking some heavy old blows.
26:07How do you feel?
26:09Amazing, I can't believe what just happened.
26:11You know, Jesus says, turn the other cheek,
26:14and I did, and I got battered there as well.
26:18Fire, what a contender.
26:20My goodness.
26:22You took it blow for blow, so, honestly,
26:24that was, like, the favourite drill that I've ever had.
26:26Absolutely terrific.
26:28Five points, Rachel. Give it up, everyone.
26:29Good luck, everyone.
26:32Rachel revved up after that.
26:34She's come roaring back,
26:36and after two events, has five points.
26:38Naomi's still in front with eight.
26:41It's time now for one of our brand new events
26:44that will test your pecs, your power, and your pace.
26:47Follow that. I will.
26:49And your ability to pulverize plasterboards
26:51made of polystyrene.
26:53Pathetic.
26:54This is...
26:56Destruction!
26:57Mode activating.
27:00Three.
27:01Two.
27:02One.
27:12Destruction!
27:16Two contenders and one gladiator
27:18in a race through four solid barriers.
27:22Each barrier must be tackled differently,
27:24and with a head start, contenders must smash, ram,
27:28climb, and crash their way to reach the central button.
27:32First there picks up ten points.
27:34The second scores five.
27:36If the gladiator reigns supreme,
27:38the runner-up gets five,
27:40and the last, nothing but dust and defeat.
27:42Playing destruction for male contenders in red, it's Finn.
27:46And in blue, it is Josh.
27:51And they are taking on Bionic! Yeah!
27:55Bionic has got some weighty numbers behind him.
28:09Are they enough to make him favorite to smash his way through first
28:13in his destruction debut?
28:14Contenders, ready!
28:19Ready!
28:23Gladiator, ready!
28:29Contenders, you will go on my first whistle.
28:32Gladiator, you will go on my second whistle.
28:35Three, two, one!
28:38Here we go, and straight away you can see why this game's called destruction.
28:43Finn and Josh power their way through barrier number one,
28:47and here comes Bionic, picking up his battering ram
28:50and setting about barrier two.
28:52He's gonna get through it first as well,
28:55leaving our contenders behind.
28:57Now Finn and Josh do work their way through,
29:00but Bionic is already kicking and punching
29:02and creating the handholds and footholds he needs on barrier three
29:06to haul himself over the top.
29:08There he goes, but our contenders aren't far behind at all.
29:12Now it's all about number four.
29:14Who can get through first and get to that button?
29:16Oh, that was close!
29:18Bionic thinks he's won, but Finn thinks he's won!
29:24Whilst we wait for Mark Klattenberg's verdict,
29:27let's take a look at the destruction we've just seen.
29:30A brutal debut!
29:33Word of them now! I can't believe I've just watched!
29:37Come in!
29:39That is solid!
29:41That is solid!
29:42I know!
29:43That was close, I've got to say.
29:45We're gonna have to call in the referee.
29:48What have you got to say?
29:49Certainly a four-door finish, but there was a clear winner.
29:51And that winner is...
29:54Bionic!
29:56Oh!
29:58We can have a look at it, here we go, let's have a look.
30:00Oh, look how close that is!
30:02Oh!
30:04Split second there!
30:05You said that I was gonna hit the floor.
30:10What I can tell you is four barriers hit the floor today.
30:16You're next.
30:18Oh!
30:22Fighting words from Bionic!
30:25Oh, he's thrown his toys out of the pram.
30:28He wasn't able to beat Bionic, but second place and five points means Finn extends his lead over Josh.
30:34After three events, it's 22-16.
30:39Playing destruction for the female contenders.
30:42In red, it's Rachel.
30:46And in blue, it's Naomi.
30:51And they are hoping to beat Cyclone.
30:58Cyclone made head spin when she blew into the Gladiator line-up a year ago.
31:01And in this brand new event, she's guaranteed to cause mass destruction.
31:10Contenders, ready!
31:15Gladiator, ready!
31:20Contenders, you will go on my first whistle.
31:23Gladiator, you will go on my second whistle.
31:26Three, two, one!
31:31Off go the contenders, smashing straight through barrier one.
31:36But here comes Cyclone.
31:38Lily threw herself off her feet.
31:40She stormed through number one.
31:42Ooh, number two's a bit of a struggle for the contenders.
31:46Not for Cyclone.
31:48She's through and onto barrier three.
31:50Head first goes Rachel.
31:52Now how far along is Cyclone?
31:53Cyclone, kicking away at the third barrier.
31:57Rachel's trying to do the same.
31:58That one's not budging.
32:00Now she has hammered some footholds with Cyclone and so has Naomi.
32:04Rachel's struggling.
32:05She's a little further behind.
32:07Cyclone's at the top.
32:08Where's Naomi?
32:09She's over as well.
32:10Well now it looks like a head-to-head between Gladiator Cyclone and Contender Naomi.
32:18Barrier number four is stubborn.
32:21Cyclone's nearly got a hole there.
32:24She could manage to get herself through.
32:26She has.
32:27She's got the gap.
32:28And she's going to hit the button first.
32:30And does with an elbow drop.
32:33Now it's all about who can gain the five points per second.
32:36You keep spinning Cyclone.
32:38Naomi keeps crossing into that barrier.
32:41Rachel is there with her.
32:42They're neck and neck now.
32:44And Rachel is making progress.
32:47Can Naomi wriggle through here?
32:49Now it's broken.
32:51And it's Naomi who gets the five points per second.
32:54Utterly exhausted.
32:57And that's just me.
32:59Excitement all around the arena.
33:01Having seen all that destruction.
33:03Cyclone.
33:04Contenders.
33:05Bravo.
33:09Cyclone won comfortably.
33:11And dropped an elbow the Rock would have been proud of.
33:14But the real excitement was in the race for second place.
33:17With persistence paying off for Naomi.
33:21That's hard isn't it?
33:22How long were we there?
33:2320 minutes?
33:25Thank goodness me.
33:27Naomi.
33:28Getting through that fourth wall.
33:29Was a bit of a struggle at the time.
33:30Right?
33:31Yeah.
33:32Energy really dipped at that one.
33:34And there was a moment where I thought.
33:35I can't do this.
33:36And I kept thinking.
33:37You do what I said.
33:38Never give up.
33:40And that got me through.
33:41They're so proud of you Naomi.
33:43Cyclone.
33:44How tough is this event?
33:49I have a lot of internal rage.
33:52So.
33:53It's quite easy.
33:54The tactic is.
33:55You can tell your little contender friends as well.
33:57Just.
33:58Picture someone.
33:59That has done you wrong.
34:00And every wall.
34:01Easy.
34:03Right.
34:04Okay.
34:05It's as simple as that.
34:06Cyclone everyone.
34:10Cyclone delighted with destruction.
34:12And Naomi will be almost as happy with the five points.
34:15She's on 13.
34:16Rachel's still on five.
34:18As we head into our next event.
34:21The Edge.
34:24Contender and Gladiator are about to face off on this formidable steel structure.
34:29Suspended 30 feet above the arena floor.
34:32One slip up, one wrong move.
34:34And it's a devastating drop down to defeat.
34:37Can they conquer it?
34:38Or will they be cast off the edge?
34:44Up on the edge for the male contenders.
34:46It's Finn.
34:49And he's got to dodge.
34:51Apollo.
34:57Apollo's well suited to being up amongst the stars.
35:00And he's fearless and fast.
35:02Boy.
35:03Is he fast.
35:09Contender.
35:10Ready.
35:14Gladiator.
35:15Ready.
35:18Three.
35:19Two.
35:20One.
35:23Finn has already shown us what he's all about in every event.
35:26And look at him go here.
35:28Apollo has to change direction.
35:30Oh, Finn's balance is impeccable.
35:33Oh, but Apollo makes a grab.
35:35And they both go flying.
35:41Victory for the Gladiator.
35:47Contender, we have a problem.
35:49Apollo launched.
35:50And Finn was turned inside out.
35:54Got to say, that was pretty spectacular.
35:56Very rapid.
35:58Didn't expect it to finish so quickly, to be honest, Bradley.
36:01But he's a big guy, so he was going for me.
36:04Full flying tackle.
36:05Never seen anything like that.
36:07Yeah, that's it.
36:08That's what I'm here for.
36:09Look at that.
36:10That is absolutely full on.
36:13That is Apollo and Finn, everybody.
36:15Next on the edge, it's Josh.
36:22And he is up against...
36:26Legend!
36:34He's the best Gladiator.
36:35He's the strongest Gladiator.
36:37He...
36:38He's been at my notes again, hasn't he?
36:40Legend's back.
36:41And he's just as humble as ever.
36:46Contender...
36:47Ready!
36:51Gladiator...
36:52Ready!
36:56Three...
36:57Two...
36:58One!
37:00Josh said he wanted to show younger brother Max that the sky's the limit.
37:04Well, this is his chance.
37:06Legend's had a go now.
37:08But he's got it badly wrong.
37:11Badly, badly wrong.
37:13Josh can celebrate.
37:16Legend will be absolutely stewing down there in the net.
37:22Josh across to eight points.
37:24Here comes the perfect ten.
37:25Looks are perfect this time, are you, Legend?
37:29It's a big win for Team Josh.
37:36The keeper, Josh, was getting hold of the rail.
37:39And that led to a rare Legend fail.
37:43That was awesome.
37:44Talk me through that.
37:46Oh, so much fun.
37:48Going up against the main man, Legend.
37:50I thought it would give me a little bit of a harder game,
37:52but not today.
37:54Well, Legend, someone's given me something in the crowd to give to you.
37:56Stay there.
37:59This is for you, mate.
38:07You spelled generational hero wrong.
38:13Legend, everybody!
38:18Legend's loss is Josh's gain as the ten points draw him level with Finn.
38:22They're on 26 each after four events.
38:26First up on the edge for the female contenders, it's Rachel.
38:30And she is trying to dodge Dynamite.
38:40It's Dynamite's third appearance on the edge.
38:43And every contender that's faced her so far has taken a tumble.
38:46Contender, ready!
38:48Gladiator, ready!
38:50Three, two, one!
38:52Well, the edge is always a game of tactics, but it's also about speed.
38:55Rachel's got both spot on.
38:56She knew what she was going to do and she did it quickly.
38:57Not so fast this time.
38:58Dynamite gets in her way and ponders when is the right time to make her move.
39:01This might be it.
39:02There she goes!
39:03And there indeed she goes!
39:04Dynamite down!
39:05Rachel now has all of the rest of the time to go across back and forth.
39:08And there she goes!
39:09And there indeed she goes!
39:10Dynamite down!
39:11There's eight!
39:12There!
39:13There!
39:14There!
39:15You're this one!
39:16Come on!
39:17There!
39:18I'm happy!
39:19Do you still do this?
39:20There!
39:21There!
39:22You still do this!
39:23That's it!
39:24That's where you're gonna get it!
39:25You still do it!
39:26Here!
39:27It's a llama!
39:28One!
39:29I'm a little bit too long!
39:30I am a little bit too close and see what you want!
39:32I got my eyes on her hand!
39:33I am having some fun!
39:34Here!
39:35You still do it!
39:36How?
39:37You should do it!
39:38And I've got it.
39:39available there's eight one more time and it's a perfect score for Rachel with
39:45dynamite down in the dumps Rachel rejoices up in the heavens and gets the
39:52appreciation of the vanquished gladiator
40:00dynamite's timing isn't normally out when it is boom blown it that was a
40:06turn up for the book we saw you sort of thing on it you make this move I make
40:10this move and all of a sudden dynamite's gone yeah I was worried I was gonna lose
40:13momentum when there was a bit of a face-off and I thought I must not stand
40:16still you got to keep going yeah and I managed with the old snake hips to elude
40:21her it was sneaky but you know what that game up there I know it's terrifying but
40:25it's actually so much fun like I could play that forever until I'm old you know
40:30like your age yeah okay well bad luck dynamite but Rachel 10 points
40:38next on the edge it's Naomi and she is facing fury
40:49so Naomi has to contend with fury the best tackler of all the female gladiators but
41:14she couldn't get close enough to make a challenge there because Naomi is a cross
41:18and now she locks in oh the tables have turned fury desperately tried to click on
41:26but she hits the net and now like Rachel before her it's Naomi's turn to crisscross
41:35across the edge and make absolutely sure with every step being carefully measured of
41:42the full 10 points and fury looks well furious
41:48still with energy left for a victory jig on the edge those moves are for you kids
42:00when you get a tussle like this at the top and fury's involved she's normally the
42:05winner but look at that Naomi having none of her that was insane fury how was that
42:13obviously I'm a bit disappointed in myself but you've got to give credit to Naomi the
42:18strong girl up there for sure a great contender clearly you rose to the challenge
42:22that's 10 points for Naomi everybody maximum points all round means that Naomi's lead remains
42:29the same after four events she has 23 points Rachel 15 next up is the wall and this one couldn't
42:37be simpler you scale the wall and when you get to the top all you got to do is get your leg over
42:41what leave it
42:48it's the wall
42:50the wall
42:52priming the wall for the male contenders in red it is finna
42:59and in blue it's josh and hunting them down will be legend and nitro
43:09here they come they look ready and what a reaction from the audience how good is it to have nitro back
43:20his trademark energy on show he's full of it legends full of wealth anger and revenge
43:28the writings on the wall
43:31nitro has returned reignited and raring to go promising sharper moves greater agility and a fresh batch of dance moves for our delight
43:42contenders you will go on my first whistle gladiators you will go on my second whistle
43:583
44:002
44:021
44:04both contenders straight to it quick off the mark
44:07josh is slightly the quicker of the two oh but he slipped
44:11and there's a hand there from nitro to say bye bye
44:14now then can finn go all the way he's got away from legend once
44:20if there's a second grab he might not be so lucky
44:24legend has another go
44:26finn gets over
44:28it's finished
44:29and finn has beaten legend on the wall
44:32it didn't last long for jumping josh but finn it looked as though he was welded to the wall
44:42the win nailed on
44:43i would argue that is a legendary upset right there
44:47i've welded his mouth shut haven't i
44:49you certainly have welded his mouth shut
44:51legend let's come to you
44:53let me tell you about your record shall i
44:56you have had three wins on the wall
45:00now nitro has actually had five wins on the wall and he missed out an entire series
45:05bruh listen stats are great
45:11but you know what's better than stats
45:13me
45:14me
45:15ohhhhhh he's got it Leon
45:19here you go
45:20nitro runs away
45:21that does
45:22does that now make it
45:23six captures
45:24for me now
45:25yes nitro that tally just keeps growing
45:29talking of numbers
45:30after five events
45:31josh has 26 points
45:32finn has 36
45:34which could prove crucial later
45:36when it comes to our final event
45:38climbing the wall for the female contenders
45:42in red
45:43it is Rachel
45:45and in blue
45:48it is Naomi
45:50and hot on their heels
45:54will be
45:55Athena
45:56and Comet
45:57and Comet
46:14Athena is the goddess with a mighty grip
46:16if she grabs you on the wall
46:18it's over to gravity
46:19Comet defies gravity and moves at supersonic speed
46:26watch this space
46:28contenders ready!
46:33gladiators ready!
46:38you will go on my first whistle
46:44gladiators you will go on my second whistle
46:473
46:492
46:501
46:511
46:53the scores are level
46:54and with only the eliminator to come
46:56this has everything riding on it
46:58Naomi has made the better start
47:00but there's a slip there
47:02and Athena has nearly got a hold of Rachel
47:05she's managed to give it a slip
47:06and a grab from Comet
47:08isn't successful in bringing Naomi down
47:11oh this is a good race
47:12I think both contenders might get there
47:15a grab from Comet
47:17but that proves fruitless
47:18and both gladiators have gone
47:20who gets over first?
47:22was it Naomi?
47:23was it Rachel?
47:25that was mightily close
47:31well I genuinely couldn't tell who's grabbed the glory here
47:34it will all come down to who cleared the wall first
47:38wow
47:39wow
47:40it's the closest that the wall has ever been between the contenders
47:44how about that?
47:45yeah
47:46but the points are in
47:48and I can confirm
47:49that it's 10 points to Rachel
47:51and it's 5 points to Naomi
47:53over to you dad with the glads
47:56that was very tight, very close
47:59literally nipping at their heels
48:01listen I was trying to be her divine intervention in Lycra
48:04it didn't work out today
48:05but next time
48:06you're not getting away
48:07absolutely
48:08absolutely
48:09and I think also Comet
48:10let's come to you
48:11the actual wall curves in at the top
48:13so it's really tricky
48:14yeah
48:15I mean you have to have very good hip mobility
48:17yeah
48:18I mean I think if we work on it
48:20I think you might be able to improve yours
48:22shall I show you?
48:23yeah
48:24yeah
48:26yeah
48:27now you'll go
48:29no chance
48:30no chance
48:34no chance
48:35I'll tell you what
48:36you could grab a leg each and we make a wish
48:39careful Bradley
48:40don't let them snap your funny bone
48:42you'll be out of material
48:43after five events
48:44Rachel's cut the gap to Naomi
48:46who leads by three points
48:47that could prove vital
48:48as we move into the final event
48:50next up it's the Eliminator
48:55yes
48:56where our contenders will jump over bars
48:59balance on beams
49:00climb cargo nets and zip line into crash mats
49:03basically soft play for adults
49:05time for
49:06the Eliminator
49:08the Eliminator
49:12it's time for contender against contender
49:15in a head-to-head race across this iconic course
49:18now even more demanding
49:20with an all-new tougher balance beam to traverse
49:23before taking on the legendary travelator
49:26the winner secures their place in the quarter-finals
49:30any points advantage now converts into a head start
49:33Finn is ten points clear of Josh
49:35and with each point worth half a second
49:37he's earned a five-second lead
49:42contenders
49:43ready
49:46Finn you will go on my first whistle
49:48Josh you will go on my second whistle
49:53three
49:54two
49:55one
49:57this course should be made for crossfit addict Finn
50:00and he's making short work of the hurdles
50:02look at the hurdles
50:03oh look at Josh go
50:04first one was easy for him
50:08Finn onto the overhead ladder
50:11he's making absolutely sure
50:12he does have the lead but it's being eaten into
50:16look at Josh
50:17he's much quicker over the overhead ladder
50:19a leap onto the cargo net
50:21oh it's gone badly wrong for Finn
50:23that gives Josh the opportunity
50:25and it is time with the Royal Marines
50:27he must have climbed up a few of these
50:29Finn's doing all he can to hold on to his advantage
50:34but look at Josh
50:35this is neck and neck
50:36this is one of the closest climbs up the cargo net
50:39we've ever seen on gladiators
50:41and they hit the top together
50:44Josh is going to get to the zip wire first
50:46it could all rest on the all-new balance beam
50:50or on the landing
50:52there's a real crash landing for Finn
50:54that's put him behind a little bit
50:56just wonder if he's a bit hurt too
50:59now this is tricky
51:00you've got to really watch your step all the way now
51:04more haste less speed
51:05well done Josh
51:06he's negotiated that safely
51:08and takes time to take a breath
51:10before getting up the travelator
51:12oh no disaster for him
51:14here comes fell runner Finn
51:17he's gone flying by
51:20and through the finish
51:22to win it
51:26delight for Finn's family
51:28now how quickly can Josh take on the travelator a second time
51:32there could be a place in the quarter-finals for the fastest runner-up
51:35Josh was pretty fast
51:37but not fast enough for first this time
51:40well it was a tale of two falls
51:43this one from Finn allowed Josh back in it
51:46but that's where it went wrong
51:48for our contender from Glasgow
51:50and it opened the door
51:52for Finn
51:53to win
51:54Josh
51:56you had a five second deficit coming into this
51:58you managed to overtake
52:00that is so much harder than it looks honestly no idea
52:04I've got to say that was a really quick eliminated time as well
52:06you never know
52:07could be seeing you in the quarter-finals as a runner-up
52:10I mean anything to your friends and family over there
52:12and your brother Max
52:13yeah big massive
52:14obviously thank you for when it came down
52:15I know it's a long trip from Scotland
52:17and hopefully we'll be here in the quarters as well
52:19lots of love to you
52:20that is Josh guys
52:23all I can say to you
52:25Finn is you're in the quarter-finals
52:31you were five seconds ahead
52:32and then all of a sudden it was neck and neck
52:34could you feel him on your tail
52:35the five second head starts nothing
52:37onto the travel later
52:38Josh was in the lead
52:39you watch him go up first
52:40I don't know if that was a tactic of yours
52:42there's no tactics in it really Brad
52:44erm
52:45I've taken my three seconds to get my breath back
52:47yeah
52:48but

52:50yeah
52:51brilliant
52:52look

53:02William
53:03go and see your friends and family
53:06both contenders go to their families
53:08to receive their well-deserved congratulations
53:11what an eliminator that was
53:13yeah
53:15and now it's the women's turn
53:17Naomi is three points ahead of Rachel
53:19which gives her a one and a half second head start
53:22as they race for a spot in the quarter-finals
53:25contenders ready
53:29Naomi you will go on my first whistle
53:35Rachel you will go on my second whistle
53:38three
53:40two
53:41one
53:42one and a half seconds
53:44that is not a lot at all
53:46barely anything between the two whistles of Mark Klenberg
53:49and the gap is about the same as Naomi
53:52overcomes a stumble to get a hold of the rope
53:55Naomi's floundering here
53:57here's Rachel
53:58she's nearly level
53:59Naomi does finally get both feet on the platform
54:02but they hit the overhead ladder pretty much together
54:06Naomi's technique just a little better than Rachel's
54:09and here she goes onto the trapeze
54:12careful to unclip it cleanly
54:14and here she goes with a step
54:16oh it was more of a stride
54:17and a bit of a slip onto the cargo net
54:20Rachel's being very careful not to make any mistakes
54:24and he's paying dividends for her
54:27Naomi can't get clear here
54:29it's a question of who's the better climber
54:32still not a lot in it
54:34still Naomi in the lead
54:36now has Rachel got the resolve to close that gap
54:41Naomi's down the zip wire
54:44steady landing
54:46ready to take on the all new balance beam
54:49it's a weary tread across to the zip wire for Rachel
54:53oh dear
54:54Naomi's gone
54:55if Rachel's seen that
54:56she will have fresh belief
54:58here she comes
55:00steady this time Naomi
55:02you can't afford to blow this now
55:05oh nearly
55:06very very nearly again
55:08up the last bit
55:09oh I do like the new balance beam
55:11that's giving us plenty more
55:13here goes Naomi
55:15and there goes Naomi
55:17has Rachel got enough?
55:19no not first time
55:20neck and neck they go again
55:23first a few words of encouragement from referee Mark Klatenberg
55:27and they will take a breath
55:29and they will go together
55:31who's got it in them?
55:32Naomi just maybe to the top
55:34Rachel isn't far behind
55:36oh who's gonna win it?
55:38who's gonna win it?
55:39I have no idea
55:41oh what a tear up that was
55:44closest eliminator ever
55:51a terrific effort from both contenders
55:53Naomi fought to keep her lead
55:55Rachel refused to back down
55:58nothing between them
