00:09Do you feel the power of the gladiators?
00:15Do you have the will and the skill?
00:20Do you have the speed, the strength, the heart to be a winner?
00:25It's not for beginners, get down in your soul
00:31Are you a creator?
00:59I'm a human gladiator
01:07Sheffield, the City of Steel
01:09This is the quarter-finals of Gladiators
01:16Make some noise for your hosts Bradley and Barney Walsh
01:28Hello Sheffield
01:33It is the second of our quarter-final showdowns
01:36Yes, it's truly squeaky bum time
01:39Sorry about that
01:39No, I meant everyone's getting nervous
01:42Yeah, that's what I meant
01:44Let's welcome tonight's female quarter-finalists
01:47It's Helena and Millie
01:49Get in
01:58Across five epic heats
02:00Six female contenders were pushed to their limits
02:03For a place in these quarter-finals
02:05Tonight, it's the turn of Helena and Millie
02:08To take on not only the gladiators
02:10But also each other
02:11To earn their spot in the semis
02:13And first up, it's the baker from Dudley
02:16Who cooked up a storm in the heat
02:18Her recipe for success?
02:20Pure determination
02:22Helena rose to the occasion on the wall
02:24Leaving Comet crumbling
02:26And earning herself a sweet ten points
02:28How does it feel to be at the top?
02:30Oh my god, on top of the world baby!
02:33Heading into the Eliminator with a disadvantage
02:35Helena proves she's more than just a baking powerhouse
02:38Her toughness and tenacity
02:40Booked her a place in these quarter-finals
02:44Helena's opponent tonight is firefighter Millie
02:47Who's used to keeping her cool under pressure
02:50She lit up the Unleashed track
02:52Giving Diamond the slip to earn full marks
02:54Is that scary?
02:56Not seeing who's coming out the smoke?
02:57Petrifying
02:59After a narrow defeat in the Eliminator
03:01Millie qualified for the quarters
03:03As one of the fastest runners-up
03:05Millie, you absolutely gave her everything up there
03:09It's headstrong Helena
03:11Versus mighty Millie
03:13For a place in the semis
03:17So lovely to see you again there, Helena
03:19Let's talk about the Eliminator
03:20Now, you had a time deficit on the Eliminator
03:23But you still won
03:24What about that?
03:25Yeah, just incredible, incredible fun
03:27Travelator at the end obviously
03:29Did fall a couple of times
03:30But it just obviously takes your legs from beneath you
03:34So yeah, just keep the back back
03:36As I say
03:37Yeah
03:37And just like get the legs pumping as fast as you can
03:40And hopefully get to the top
03:41Having been through the heats down the quarters
03:43Is there a gladiator that you would like to take on?
03:47Dynamite, you know, pocket rocket
03:48I'm ready, I'm here
03:49So if you want to bring another pocket rocket out
03:51Well
03:52Put your hands together
03:53That's Helena, everyone
03:57Millie, welcome back to the show
03:58Let's talk about your heat
03:59Unleash against Diamond
04:01Great ten pointer
04:02I love running, I love sprinting
04:04But one fast movement can cost you the race
04:06And that's unfortunately what happened for Diamond
04:08But it's great for me
04:10Let's talk about the Eliminator
04:12Obviously it didn't go your way
04:13But can you get the Eliminator right tonight?
04:15So, thank you for rubbing that in
04:18Sorry
04:19But yeah, I'm just going to tweak a few things
04:22And hopefully, yeah, there won't be any issues
04:24But you never know until you're in it
04:26Well look, we wish you all the very best
04:27That's Helena and Millie
04:30It's time for these contenders to be pushed to their limits
04:34In their first event
04:35Everest
04:38A new event featuring the highest freefall ever on gladiators
04:44Contender and gladiator must push a 220kg sliding wall
04:49Across a 10m platform
04:50Each trying to shove their opponent over the edge
04:54Into a chilling 16ft drop
04:58When the siren sounds, the platform tilts
05:01First giving the contender the advantage
05:03Before shifting in favour of the gladiator
05:07Who will conquer the summit?
05:09And who will face the terrifying plummet?
05:12It's time to push it
05:14Push it real good
05:17Facing the mighty Everest for the very first time is Helena
05:21But which gladiator will she be up against?
05:26It is Sabre!
05:31How do you feel about Sabre?
05:33Yeah, we'll have a go, we'll have a look
05:35Alright now, it's also your first time on this event, Millie
05:38Let's find out who you will be playing
05:45Oh!
05:46Oh!
05:48Oh!
05:48She's terrifying
05:50I know
05:51Yes, that says it all
05:54Without further ado, let's play Everest
05:58First up facing Helena is Sabre
06:01Never mind a Daenonicus
06:03Sabre reminds me of a Velociraptor
06:05Fast, cunning and deadly
06:10Speaking of dinosaurs, over to Mark Klatenberg
06:13Who's joined this evening as ever by Lee Phillips and Sonya McLomer
06:18Contender in gladiator, step forward!
06:27It appears anything the gladiator can do, this contender can do better
06:31Let's see, shall we?
06:33Take your positions!
06:40Contender, ready!
06:45Gladiator, ready!
06:49Three, two, one
06:52The charge to the wall, see Sabre get there first
06:56And she's straight down to business
06:58She's putting everything she's got into that wall
07:01Trying to push Helena back
07:02This is Sabre's first time playing Everest
07:05It looks as though she was born to be up there
07:08She will be mindful of the fact that the tilt's coming though
07:11And when the tilt comes in the contender's favour
07:14It means the gladiator is surely only going to go one way
07:18Sabre desperately digging her claws in
07:21Helena's helmet's nearly coming off
07:24She's pushing so hard
07:25Sabre's slipping
07:26She is going backwards
07:28But Helena might run out of time here
07:30Because any moment now
07:32It's gonna tilt the other way
07:34That platform here it comes
07:35And now it's advantage Sabre
07:38Oh Helena has a wry smile on her face
07:40It's as though she knows what's coming
07:42And boy, is it coming
07:44Down goes Helena
07:47Shoved off the mountain
07:48To me, to you
07:55That Everest went back and forth more times than a ladder
07:59In an episode of Chuckle Brothers
08:00Ask your parents if it's
08:03Your tilt came along
08:05Did you think at that time?
08:06Hello, I've got her here
08:08Yeah, I was like
08:09I just need to keep
08:09Go, go, go, go, go
08:10But yeah, the legs
08:11I think the legs just gave out a little bit
08:13But she's a powerhouse
08:15Love your energy
08:16I think you've been a great contender
08:18But when my name came out of the hat
08:20And you celebrated
08:21It was so on
08:24Brilliantly surviving the tilt
08:25The fantastic
08:27Sabre
08:32Next, hoping her first time on Everest will be a success
08:35It's Millie
08:39And she's hoping to topple Cyclone
08:46You should never climb mountains in bad weather
08:49And Cyclone's the worst weather you could come up against
08:52Good luck Millie
08:53Hope you brought your brolly
08:58Contender and Gladiator
09:00Step forward
09:07Oh, that's nice
09:08Away from Cyclone
09:09Okay, now it's just scary
09:13Take your positions
09:20Contender
09:21Ready
09:25Gladiator
09:26Ready
09:30Three
09:30Two
09:31One
09:34Cyclone breezes in
09:35No contender has ever got to the first tilt against her
09:39Millie is doing her best to show some resistance
09:42Against the one Gladiator she never wanted to face
09:46On the plus side
09:47It doesn't look as though she's going to face her for long
09:50We won't be seeing a tilt there either
09:52Cyclone gets it done again
09:55And remains unbeaten and remains unbeaten on Everest
10:01There was one brief moment when Millie managed to put the brakes on
10:05I thought she had this
10:07Silly me
10:08Not a chance
10:09Not against Cyclone
10:11Oh Millie
10:12Oh Millie
10:13It was just about to tilt
10:14Well I lasted nearly 20 seconds
10:16Happy days
10:18She is undefeated in this event
10:19Yeah, I'm not surprised
10:21Cyclone over to you
10:23I want to make the arena promise
10:27You will never get a tilt from Cyclone
10:31Oh
10:34The Cyclone ever leave without storming off
10:38I guess it's just nature
10:39The female contenders failed to get going after that first event
10:43Both on zero
10:46Okay
10:47Time to meet our male coordinate finalists
10:50Please welcome back Mo and Sean
10:52I want to get away
10:56I want to get away
11:01I want to get away
11:01I want to get away
11:02I want to get away
11:03Six male contenders brought their A-game in the heat
11:06Battling it out for a place in the quarterfinals
11:09Tonight Mo and Sean will go up against the gladiators
11:12And then each other in the eliminator
11:14Hoping they can burst through that finish line
11:17And into the semis
11:19In the heat
11:2020 year old aerospace degree apprentice Sean
11:22Blasted up the wall
11:24And left Nitro grasping at air
11:26He's been working hard today
11:28Look at these
11:29On hang tough against steel
11:31He showcased his strength for five points
11:34I went in there with the mindset of what I need to do
11:36And I did exactly that
11:37In the eliminator Sean crashed out
11:40But he has won another chance
11:42As one of the fastest runners up
11:46Sean takes on construction foreman Mo
11:49In the heat he showcased his speed and spry wit
11:53I looked back once
11:54And I saw a big tall figure
11:56And I thought
11:56Oh no
11:57Before steamrolling through gauntlets
12:00To claim maximum points
12:01It was brilliant
12:02Physical
12:02And just my attributes
12:04After a nail biting eliminator
12:07And three tries on the legendary travelator
12:09He cemented his place
12:11In the quarter-final
12:13It's the Welsh Dragon
12:14Versus the English Lion
12:16Who will roar through to the semis
12:20Welcome back Mo
12:21Now let's talk about your heat
12:23You played the dream team in gauntlet
12:25And you absolutely
12:26Through them
12:27That must build confidence
12:28Well it appeared to be the dream team
12:30But it was quite relatively easy
12:32Oh Mo
12:34I see what you're doing there mate
12:36Alright
12:37Who do you want to take on out of all the glads
12:39Tonight in the quarters
12:39I'd like to face Viper
12:41Because I haven't had the opportunity to face him
12:43And I think he'd be quite easy for me
12:45Oh
12:47Viper are you listening back there
12:49Hang on
12:50I can hear him growling
12:52Good for you
12:53Put your hands together
12:53That is Mo everyone
12:58Sean welcome back to the show
12:59For the people that missed you last time
13:01This is a classic gladiators outfit
13:03Is it not?
13:04It's actually a 90s gladiators tracksuit
13:06That my dad wore when he competed in 95
13:09His nickname on the show was the Flying Scotsman
13:12Was it not?
13:13Yeah that's correct
13:13He loves that nickname
13:14And I've actually given myself a nickname
13:16Which is Seanado
13:17So I want you all screaming that tonight
13:19The Seanado guys
13:22We wish you very best of luck
13:24That's Mo and Sean
13:27Now we've met our male contenders
13:30It's time for them to take on
13:32Everest
13:35Facing the mighty Everest for the first time is Mo
13:38So
13:39Which gladiator will you be up against?
13:45And it's Steele
13:47I mean you don't look so upset about that do you?
13:49Well it should be interesting
13:50I think it's a good
13:51It's gonna be a good battle
13:52Okay Sean
13:53Let's find out who you'll be facing
14:02Giants
14:04Oh you're gonna be up against Giants
14:06Sean how do you feel about that?
14:07Hey look I'm gonna give it my all as I always do
14:09And smash it
14:10So let's see what we bring
14:12I love the confidence
14:14Well look we wish you both the very best of luck
14:16Without further ado
14:17It's time to play
14:19Everest
14:21Mo is up first facing Steele
14:24A gladiator with the strength to move mountains
14:27Or in this case move Mo off a mountain
14:33Contender and gladiator
14:34Step forward
14:40No more Mr. Nice Guy
14:44Steele took the words right out of my mouth
14:47Mo doesn't seem phased
14:49Take your positions
14:50Take your positions
14:55Contender
14:56Ready
15:00Gladiator
15:01Ready
15:053
15:063
15:062
15:071
15:09Steele starts with typical determination
15:11Slamming into that screen
15:14Mo didn't take on Everest in the heat
15:16It doesn't look as though Everest is going to last long in the quarter finals for him
15:21Down goes Mo
15:23Still determined to play a starring role from the start tonight
15:29And he's right to be one happy gladiator
15:32He got the contender down in just 10 seconds
15:35The fastest time by a male gladiator on Everest
15:39I've got to say
15:40Hardly worth getting up there mate
15:42Well
15:44No points better luck next time Mo
15:46That is Mo
15:46And of course
15:47The brilliant
15:49Steele everyone
15:52Okay now
15:54Here's the match we won
15:56Is Sean everybody
16:01He is facing Giant
16:06In the heat
16:07Giant's backside
16:08Struck Sean from the collision bridge
16:11And now Sean wants revenge
16:12Against this gladiator
16:14And his gluteus maximus
16:19Contender and gladiator
16:21Step forward
16:22Come on
16:26Come on
16:26Come on
16:26Come on
16:26Time to fly
16:28Let's go
16:30It's the only way you're going
16:32Take your positions
16:33Are you ready?
16:38Contender ready
16:43Gladiator ready
16:483, 2, 1
16:51To give you an idea of what Sean is up against
16:55Giant weighs 130 kilos
16:58So Sean absolutely must dig in
17:01And make the most of the tilt going in his favour
17:04If and when it comes
17:07Really good resistance being shown by Sean so far
17:10In the heat he struggled to move Hannah
17:13When this happened
17:14How's he going to do against Giant
17:16He's doing very well indeed
17:18He's got Giant budging backwards
17:20Look at the effort that Sean's putting in
17:22Look at the effort that Giant's putting in
17:25Can Sean get the job finished
17:29Giant digs in
17:30And now the tables will turn
17:33With the tilt the other way
17:35There is now a combined 350 kilos
17:40Pressing against Sean
17:41He never stood a chance
17:49A repeat of Sean's heat against Hammer
17:52He was doing superbly
17:54All the way from kick off
17:56Through to the point
17:57He was kicked off
17:59He looked like putting me up against the big dogs
18:01He was a serious, serious contender
18:04Don't that look for you
18:05Because he looks like he's got
18:06Young puppy dog energy
18:07Well there you showed me that great determination
18:10Well done there
18:14Looks like this is going to be one tough quarter final
18:18The gladiators are on point
18:20It's no score for the male contenders either
18:25Right next up is one of my absolute favourites
18:28Thanks Brad
18:28That means a lot
18:29And look you're not wrong
18:30Everyone knows
18:31Even with one arm
18:32I'm still easily the best thing about this show
18:35I was talking about the next event if you don't mind
18:37Sure you were mate
18:38Legend, legend
18:39Do you mind we're trying to get on with the show
18:41I am the show
18:42Stop talking
18:43It's time for the next event
18:45In a short
18:49Unleashed
18:51In position on the track for the female contenders
18:54It's Halena
18:59Contender you will go on my whistle
19:01And then the gladiator will be unleashed
19:06Contender ready
19:12Helena is off and running
19:15Who's it going to be
19:16It's Electro sparking out of the start
19:20Helena's still got a decent bit of distance
19:22Between her and the gladiator
19:24But here comes the wall
19:26And the wall has seen her fall
19:28It's an easy tag for Electro
19:31She swaggers away
19:33Helena's been unclocked
19:37Thumbs down
19:37Lights out
19:43Another high voltage performance
19:45From one of our fastest gladiators
19:47Electro strikes again
19:51Gotta come to the runner
19:53In the gladiators
19:54I mean rapid is the word
19:56You were quickly gaining on her
19:58I've got to say
19:59I knew that I was getting close to her
20:00But obviously she fell over
20:01Had to get the tag
20:02Thank you cupcake
20:03Let's go
20:04Thank you cupcake
20:06Sadly no points to cupcake
20:09But good luck in the next one
20:11And that's Halena
20:12And the brilliant
20:13Electro
20:17Next on the track
20:19With no idea
20:20Which gladiator she's up against
20:23It's Millie
20:28Contender you will go on my whistle
20:30And then the gladiator will be unleashed
20:35Contender ready
20:41Away goes Millie
20:42And she loves this event
20:44After her maximum points from it in the heat
20:46Fire is in hot pursuit
20:48And she'll be trying to make Millie soon
20:51Feel the heat down the back of her neck
20:53She's getting closer all the time
20:55And the wall
20:56Has claimed another victim
20:59We've said it many times
21:00But in any event
21:02If you play with fire
21:04You're gonna get burned
21:08So first Helena hit the wall
21:10And now Millie's been mangled by it too
21:13Looks like our firefighter
21:15Just couldn't stand the heat
21:18I don't really know what happened there
21:20But once I fell over
21:22I thought
21:22Great game over
21:24Fire this is one of your games for sure
21:26I mean you've captured many a contender
21:28First of all Millie
21:29I've been waiting for you
21:32It is not every day
21:34That I get to go up against
21:36A real life firefighter everybody
21:38But babes you've never seen a blaze like this
21:41That is Millie
21:42And of course fire
21:43After another great job from our gladiators
21:47And help from the wall
21:48Helena and Millie
21:49Have yet to pick up any points
21:53Taking to the track now
21:55It's Sean
22:01Contender you will go on my whistle
22:03And then the gladiator will be unleashed
22:07Contender ready
22:12Can Sean go as fast as his dad used to
22:15Murray was known as the flying Scotsman
22:17When he was a gladiator's semi-finalist 30 years ago
22:20But chasing after Sean
22:22It's the herring Hammer
22:24Sean stumbles through the wall
22:26Nearly lost his balance
22:27Glanced behind to see that Hammer isn't catching him yet
22:30But he might do now
22:32Another stumble from Sean
22:34Hammer backs the tag
22:36The shornado blown out
22:43So unlucky Sean
22:45But it was a moment of unsteadiness on the steps
22:48That meant he took a Hammering
22:53I didn't even know his Hammer
22:55Until the very last second
22:56I saw his hair going
22:57I turned around and thought
22:58It's round two
22:59But he got me again
23:00Fair enough
23:01He's a great guy
23:02And his dad should be so proud of him
23:03Amazing
23:05Honestly amazing
23:07Zero points unfortunately
23:08But better luck next time
23:09That is Sean
23:10And Hammer
23:15Ready to run on the track
23:17It's Mo
23:24Contender you will go on my whistle
23:26And then the gladiator will be unleashed
23:31Contender ready
23:37Off goes Mo
23:38Who will it be chasing after him
23:41Oh dear
23:41It's Nitro
23:42It's the king of the sprints
23:44The emperor of unleashed
23:46Mo looks worried already
23:48And with good reason
23:49Because Nitro is so fast
23:51It's already over
23:53Mo
23:54Driven round the bend
23:57And you know what a Nitro victory means
23:59A Nitro victory dance
24:03He's still going
24:04He won't stop
24:06Let's leave him to it
24:10As in the heat
24:11So in the quarters
24:12The wall was a big problem for Mo
24:14But you have to smile
24:16Watching Nitro
24:18Probably unleash
24:21At what point on the track
24:23Did you know
24:23He was so close behind you
24:25Could you feel him
24:25When I hit through the blocks
24:27I looked back slightly
24:28And I could just see his shadow
24:29He threw me off
24:30Fake looking back
24:31Are you happy with your performance there?
24:33I am absolutely buzzing
24:34With my performance
24:35I'm here for a party
24:37So guy
24:37Let's have a good time
24:38And I wish you
24:39The best of luck
24:41Let's go
24:41Let's go
24:41Let's go
24:41Let's go
24:42Come on
24:42Okay
24:43And it's Nitro
24:44And Mo
24:49Well the scores are still very simple to add up
24:52For Sean and Mo
24:54It's still a no
24:55They're on zero
24:58Our next event
25:00Was first played
25:01Over 2,000 years ago
25:03In the amphitheatres
25:05Of ancient Rome
25:06No it wasn't
25:07Yes it was
25:08And it's Latin name
25:09Is goodest luck
25:10As hurtiest lottus
25:11That's not true either
25:13It's called gauntlet
25:14Gauntletus
25:20Facing the gauntlet
25:21For the female contenders
25:22It's Helena
25:25And she is taking on
25:29Cyclo
25:31Electro
25:32Dynamite
25:33Comet
25:33And fire
25:46Dynamite's got quite the unique shoe ritual
25:49But it works
25:49She never puts a foot wrong
25:51Especially when it comes to gauntlet
25:54Finally after three series
25:56Here's a fact I can relate to
25:58This gladiator hates putting out the bins
26:00Don't we all Comet
26:02Don't we all
26:05Contender
26:06Ready
26:11Gladiators
26:11Ready
26:163, 2, 1
26:18Best of luck to Helena
26:20Five gladiators to get through
26:2120 seconds to do it in
26:23She's just managed to get through Comet
26:25But fire has got her in her claws
26:28Into zone 3
26:29After a command of release
26:31From Mark Clattenburg
26:33And another one
26:34To take her into zone 4
26:35Where she's faced by Electro
26:38And time and the gladiator
26:40Are both against her
26:41That's where it ends
26:46Helena rattled and rolled her way through
26:48As best she could
26:49But was then left static
26:51By Electro
26:54You got trapped for a little bit
26:55What do you even call those fire
26:57Claws
26:57Get my claws out for you babes
26:59Yeah
26:59Just want a little cuddle
27:00Yeah
27:01Onwards and upwards
27:02That is Helena
27:03And of course our gladiators
27:08Next up to run the gauntlet
27:10It's Millie
27:16Contender
27:17Ready
27:21Gladiators
27:22Ready
27:25Three
27:26Two
27:27One
27:29Millie's turn to run the gauntlet
27:31A determined step towards her
27:33Comes from Comet
27:34And she penned Millie in for a moment there
27:36Oh Millie wraps her arms around fire
27:38A strong command of release from Mark
27:41Aimed at Contender and Gladiator alike
27:44Now it's Electro
27:46Are they squeals of excitement or agony from Millie?
27:49It's hard to tell on gladiators
27:51What we can tell
27:52Is that she's got herself eight points
27:55Well Millie gave as good as she got
27:57But with neither contender managing to score maximum points
28:01I'd say that's a win for the gladiators
28:05You took a complete whack of Comet very early
28:08Sort of set you back a bit
28:09Yeah she went in
28:10Yeah
28:11You went in
28:12Millie eight points and the gladiators
28:20After three events
28:22After three events
28:45That powerful legs make the perfect foundation for defending the gauntlet
28:51Phantom's favourite film is of course Ghostbusters
28:54He finds it dead funny
28:55But there's nothing fun about having to face this gladiator
29:00Despite being our resident bad boy
29:02Viper's never actually been disqualified from gauntlet
29:05Come on Viper must do worse
29:08Not that I'd say that to his face
29:13Contender ready
29:19Gladiators ready
29:23Three, two, one
29:26Can Mo display his steamrolling abilities again?
29:30Well he's making a good go of it
29:32Look at this
29:33He's into zone three
29:34No one made that zone four already
29:36Now for Phantom
29:37He can't get through
29:39Now he has
29:40He's wriggled into zone five
29:41And Apollo
29:42Has shooked him out of the gauntlet entirely
29:45You can hear what the arena thinks about that
29:49I wonder what Mark Klanberg's got to say about it
29:52Apollo
29:52You deliberately
29:54Took Mo out of the gauntlet
29:57And that is against the rules
29:59Therefore
30:01Apollo
30:02I'm disqualifying you
30:04And therefore giving Mo
30:05Ten points
30:07Good decision Mark
30:09I never used to say that
30:12Well Mo was having a terrific run
30:15His speed and agility got into zone four in just 14 seconds
30:18But when Apollo said we have liftoff
30:21He had a problem
30:23Apollo
30:23Do you agree with that disqualification?
30:26Look, absolutely not
30:28You don't want to put Apollo in the fifth spot
30:29To play chess with a guy
30:30I'm coming to knock, block, rock the socks off of anybody
30:33You just got a taste of that
30:36For now
30:36Ten points to Mo
30:41Running the gauntlet for the very first time
30:44It's Sean
30:49Contender
30:50Ready
30:56Gladiators
30:57What's this?
31:00What did Hammer do to rattle Viper's cage?
31:03Whoa
31:04Whoa
31:06Sorry
31:07Sorry
31:07Nitro should be renamed to Snape Charmer
31:10He's the only one who can calm the grunt gladiator down
31:13Viper
31:14If you don't behave
31:15I'll send yous off
31:16Well done again Mark
31:18It looks like Nitro's put himself between Hammer and Viper for the game
31:22Rather him than me
31:24Contender
31:25Contender
31:25Ready
31:26Ready
31:27Gladiators
31:29Ready
31:323
31:342
31:351
31:36There goes Sean
31:37Now that order has been kind of restored
31:40But it looks like more mayhem in the gauntlet to me
31:43Sean has managed to see off Nitro and Hammer
31:47And then he takes a bit of a blow there from Phantom
31:50This is Sean's first time in the gauntlet
31:53And he's making it a memorable one too
31:55Can he get there over the line for maximum points?
31:58No, the Klaxon's beaten him
32:00So the Seanado scores 8 points
32:04Uh-oh
32:05Vexed Viper
32:06Take it, Marks
32:07Marks on fire
32:09Viper's on the naughty step
32:12Well, there it is
32:13This was the Seanado we've been waiting for
32:20Viper needs some more practice, I think
32:21Because they got busted pretty quick
32:24More importantly
32:258 points
32:27To Sean
32:29So after 3 events
32:31The male contenders finally have some points as well
32:34Mo's got 10 of them
32:35Sean's got 8
32:38And next event is one of my favourites
32:40It's Duel
32:40The goal
32:41Don't fall off and don't get whacked
32:43Simple
32:43Easy for you to say
32:44You won't be the one getting buttered
32:46That's why it's one of my favourites
32:47It's Duel
32:50Duel
32:53Hoping to earn some precious points tonight
32:55On the podium
32:56It's Helena
33:00And this time she's up against
33:02Comet
33:09Helena's gym background gives her the power
33:12But Comet's got incredible balance and coordination
33:15Thanks to her gymnastics
33:16This is going to be one epic encounter
33:21Contender
33:22Ready
33:28Gladiator
33:29Ready
33:33En garde
33:423, 2, 1
33:45Well Helena failed to score
33:48Last time she played Duel
33:49But it is only Comet's second time on the Duel podium this series
33:53Not that she looks rusty
33:55She's setting about the contender with real spirit here
33:59But a good display from Helena
34:01So far
34:01Oh she's got to keep a balance
34:03She nearly fell of her own accord
34:05It's a good recovery from Helena
34:07She nearly went again
34:09But look at the clock
34:10She's not got much time left to stay up there
34:13Comet tries a different approach
34:15But Helena is going to stay on the podium
34:18Despite the last bash to the head from Comet
34:21That she gets five points
34:23Brilliant stuff
34:26Well Helena is one tough cookie
34:28That duel was the best thing since sliced bread
34:34How are you feeling?
34:35A little bit bashed around
34:36But I quite enjoyed it actually
34:38At one point I was doing some sort of 360 backflip
34:41Some assault twist
34:42And still stayed on
34:42Well in actual fact
34:43You were facing that way
34:44Entirely the wrong way
34:45And stayed up
34:46It was brilliant
34:46That's Helena
34:48And Comet
34:49Five points for Helena
34:54Next up on the dual podium
34:56For the female contenders
34:58It's Millie
35:03And she is up against Dynamite
35:15Contender ready
35:19Gladiator ready
35:24En garde
35:343, 2, 1
35:37So it's undefeated Dynamite on dual
35:40Taking on Mighty Millie
35:42Who nearly toppled
35:43And she's back up right
35:45To try and land a few tame sort of jabs at Dynamite
35:48That were easily resisted
35:50Oh this is a duel alright
35:52Dynamite's not making any real progress
35:54Millie looks to have a firm stable platform
35:57Oh rocked back a little there though
35:59Dynamite's having to push
36:00Oh Dynamite went forward
36:02But she didn't put her hands down on the platform
36:05That's okay
36:05And it's more than okay for Millie
36:07Because time is up
36:09And she too
36:10Has got herself five points
36:12Well done
36:15Well nothing Dynamite threw at her
36:18Seemed to rock hot shot Millie at all
36:20She looks solid up there
36:21For every millisecond
36:25Tonight you got the five points
36:31Dynamite was so so strong
36:32Some of them headshots sent me Wafi
36:35That's Millie and Dynamite
36:41That's Millie and Dynamite
36:42That was actually really annoying
36:44If they're solid
36:45Yeah
36:45We're always at such a disadvantage
36:47There's only so much we can do
36:49I'm just writing a list of things that weren't well up there
36:52Okay
36:52So what's over?
36:55Whilst Legend offers his own unique encouragement
36:58Let's have a look at the scores
37:00Millie's now on 13
37:02Helena's on 11
37:04Next on Duel is Sean
37:06And he's up against Phantom
37:21Contender ready
37:45And that's all it's taken
37:48Goodness me
37:50Have we ever seen a duel as fast as that?
37:54Well surprisingly that's not the quickest a contender has been taken down
37:58But it's certainly up there
38:00Unlike Sean
38:01Who's down there?
38:04It was one of those things like just off balance from the start
38:08And yeah it is what it is
38:09One of those things
38:11He was one of the only people who can stand up there
38:13And give me the eye without being phased
38:16And one of the things I have to ask you was
38:18Was you afraid?
38:19Even the slightest
38:21No to be fair like I've experienced this enough now
38:24Especially with the Everest and things
38:25You're a big guy
38:26And I knew you'd come with a big hit
38:28Big thanks to of course
38:30Front zone sadly no points
38:33For Sean
38:37Playing Duel for the male contenders
38:41It's Mo
38:44And he is facing the might of Giants
38:57Contender ready
39:02Gladiator ready
39:06On guard
39:153, 2, 1
39:18Let's see how motivated our contender is here
39:22Swinging furiously at Giants
39:25He might not be making much of an impression
39:28But he's letting the gladiator know that he's in a real contest
39:32And Giant is going to have to get to work
39:34Mo's jab
39:35Oh it's put himself off balance
39:37And down he goes
39:39It's a win for Giants
39:41But it wasn't a routine clobbering
39:47He was taking plenty of hits
39:49But Giants stood tall
39:51Which meant the foreman became the fall guy
39:56I know you got knocked down but you didn't half put out a great performance there
39:59I did wobble him
40:01I almost got him
40:01Almost
40:02That's Giant
40:03And Mo
40:06So after four events the scores remain the same here
40:10Mo still leads with 10
40:11Sean's on 8
40:13Hey
40:14What?
40:15Imagine being chased by a gladiator 30 foot up in the air
40:18Honestly I'd love to Barnes but you know what
40:20I've got a note from the doctor saying I'm allergic to gravity
40:23Otherwise I'll be straight up there mate
40:25Bradley is allergic to gravity
40:27Signed Bradley's doctor
40:28That's in your handwriting
40:29Never mind that
40:30Here is the edge
40:33The edge
40:37Contender and gladiator are about to face off on this formidable steel structure
40:41Suspended 30 feet above the arena floor
40:44One slip up
40:45One wrong move
40:46And it's a devastating drop down to defeat
40:49Can they conquer it
40:51Or will they be cast
40:52Off the edge
40:55First up for the female contenders
40:58It's her first time on the edge
41:01It's Helena
41:05And she is dodging dynamite
41:13Contender ready
41:20Gladiator ready
41:25Three
41:26Two
41:27One
41:28This is a new experience for Helena
41:31She didn't take on the edge
41:33She didn't take on the edge in the heat
41:34Now she's up there taking on dynamite
41:36Who's taken up a good position
41:38But good dodging by Helena too
41:40And she skips across four two points
41:43A little bit of dancing up there from the contender
41:46She's really finding her feet now
41:48And now senses there's a gap
41:50She goes for it
41:51She gets it
41:52She's on to four
41:53And if our gladiator would forgive me
41:56It's the contender putting in a dynamite performance
41:59Dynamite herself hasn't really been able to get anywhere near
42:03And she's been given the slip again
42:05This is brilliant from Helena
42:08Twenty seconds still remaining
42:10She could make two more crossings and get a maximum of ten
42:14Dynamite now engages though
42:16Dynamite now gets to grips with Helena
42:19And they both take the plunge
42:28Helena was flying until dynamite seized her one and only chance
42:33As Helena might think herself
42:35That's the way the cookie crumbles
42:39You're quite nimble up there
42:41But you're also quite tentative
42:42If you don't mind me saying
42:43Like wasn't sure which way to go
42:44Yeah honestly
42:45My legs after a bit
42:46They were kind of just not working with my brain
42:48But yeah
42:49I mean I've got a few extra points on the board
42:51That's the main thing
42:52Helena's great
42:53She's everything you want in a contender
42:55She's brave
42:56Strong
42:57And falls off the edge
42:59That is six points Helena
43:01Thank you to Helena
43:02And our gladiator dynamite
43:06Next it's her first time on the edge
43:09It's Millie
43:13And she is up against
43:16Sabre
43:36I don't know why I sound surprised at how adept she seems at this
43:44A firefighter from Cleethorpe's
43:47If anybody's made to be at home at a height
43:50It's Millie
43:51Completely ignoring Sabre's attempt to rattle and roll her from the edge
43:56She's not looking at the gladiator at all
43:59Just leaping around like a gazelle up there
44:03I suppose that carries a warning in itself
44:05Because Sabre cats are probably quite good at hunting gazelles
44:09And Millie being made to think about a different strategy
44:12Sabre is engaged now
44:14Oh but she missed her
44:15And Millie does get through to get another two points on the board
44:19On to six
44:20And time still remains
44:22She could get a maximum here you know
44:24Sabre tells her to go to the side
44:27And that's where she went
44:28There's her first mistake
44:30Down, down, down
44:38Well perhaps this was part of the Sabre plan all along
44:42You go that way
44:44I'm going too
44:45Meow
44:49I'm used to heights being a firefighter
44:51How nerve-wracking is it?
44:53I'm used to heights but I'm not used to just falling off an edge
44:56So that's the thing for me
44:57It's the falling but yeah
44:59I just clung on to her
45:00Absolutely
45:00Six points Millie
45:02Well played
45:04Millie and Sabre
45:07I think it's fair to say
45:09That these two have been equally matched all evening
45:11So the eliminator later on is going to be very interesting
45:15Helena finishes on 17
45:16Millie 19
45:19On the edge for the male contenders for the very first time
45:23It's Mo
45:27And he's hoping to avoid Apollo
45:36Contender ready
45:41Gladiator ready
45:463, 2, 1
45:49So Mo from Swansea facing Apollo from
45:52Well the far edge of the universe
45:54Oh and Mo was nearly sent crashing over the edge there
45:57It's a brilliant recovery from our contender
46:00And now he gets himself set to go again
46:03Apollo on guard
46:05Mo treading carefully
46:07You don't often see a construction foreman up there on the scaffold
46:10At least he's got his hard hat on
46:12Oh and it's intensifying now
46:14Apollo gets him
46:16Oh Apollo's lost him
46:18And it's the gladiator
46:19Who goes through the gap and down into the net
46:23Which leaves Mo free
46:25To cross and cross and cross again
46:28As long as he doesn't lose his footing
46:31Mo has a free pass
46:33Through to the maximum 10 points here
46:35And that would mean that he opens up a really big lead
46:40And ramps up the pressure on Sean
46:42Who's awaiting his turn to go
46:44Still Mo makes absolutely sure
46:48But he's there
46:48He's home and dry
46:50It's another Mo maximum
46:53And even Mark gets a clutch
46:58Maximum points again for Mo
47:01He's got every right to celebrate
47:04That was fantastic
47:06I mean how do you feel about that first off?
47:08I am thrilled
47:09Absolutely thrilled
47:11I've never seen anyone
47:14Complete an event
47:15And then going straight away
47:16And hug the referee
47:18I was ecstatic
47:20Yeah look all I can say is
47:21Congratulations
47:22I'm the big man in the sky up there
47:23But look guys
47:24Win lose or draw
47:25I'll always make it look good
47:26I've got a little bit of life advice for you
47:28Catch a lot of flies with honey
47:31But you catch my honeys
47:32By being fly
47:37That's a pun out of everybody
47:39Because that's a massive 10 points to Mo
47:42Thank you to Mo and Apollo
47:45Next on the edge
47:46For the first time
47:48It's Sean
47:51And he is up against
47:53Steel
47:57It was Steel against Sean on Hang Tough in the heat
48:01And Sean refused to drop
48:03It was an epic battle
48:04So get yourselves ready
48:06Because this rematch
48:07Will have you
48:08On the edge
48:09Yes
48:11Contender
48:12Ready
48:17Gladiator
48:17Ready
48:18Let's go
48:21Three
48:22Two
48:23One
48:25Sean will know
48:26But after Mo
48:27He's got to go
48:28Can he match his opponent's maximum points
48:32Well he's on to four already
48:34And there doesn't seem to be much
48:35That Steel can do about it
48:36Oh he doesn't have to
48:38Sean has fallen
48:40All by himself
48:52Sean's dive at Steel
48:54Looked as though he was saying
48:55Save me
48:56And Steel seemed to think about it
48:58Maybe next time
48:59Maybe not
49:02I was keeping an eye on Steel
49:03I know he likes to pounce
49:04So I was hoping that he pounced
49:06And he'd be able to step out of the way
49:07But when there's huge gaps in between up there
49:10It's really a tough one
49:12Yeah what I love about Sean Ado
49:14He puts in his homework
49:16He's got me in Hang Tough
49:17I've got him in the edge
49:18He's one all
49:20Hopefully if you go through
49:21We'll find out the decider
49:22Oh yes
49:23The trilogy continues
49:25Four points though to Sean everyone
49:27That is Sean
49:28And Steel
49:31So after five events
49:33Mo extends his lead
49:34He's on 20
49:35Sean finishes on 12
49:37But as we know
49:38Anything can happen on Gladiators
49:40As we head into the final event
49:42The Eliminator
49:45And first up to face all nine obstacles
49:48It's the female contenders
49:50Millie finished two points ahead of Helena
49:53And with each point being worth half a second
49:55It means Millie has a one second head start
50:00Replacing the semi-final contenders
50:03Ready
50:08Millie you will go on my first whistle
50:10Helena you will go on my second whistle
50:14Three
50:14Three
50:15Two
50:16One
50:18One second
50:19It's not a lot is it
50:20But Millie's determined to make the most
50:22Of that slender advantage
50:23And she's started with all guns blazing here
50:27She's struggled on the rope in the heat
50:29But no bother at all tonight
50:31She's up in a flash
50:32And it's Helena
50:33Who's having a few problems
50:35Getting onto that podium
50:37Millie's already halfway across the overhead ladders
50:40No make that all the way across
50:42And she's got an even healthier lead now
50:45As she swings into action on the trapeze
50:48Straight onto the cargo net
50:50Oh Helen has got some ground to make up
50:53But she won't entertain any thoughts of giving up
50:56Because we've seen so many Eliminators
50:58Where the tide has turned
51:00It could come down to one mistake
51:02And that is what Millie must guard against
51:05This precious little sign of any mistake happening at the moment
51:10Firefighter, CrossFit Queen
51:12Millie's making this look like a training day
51:15She's taking on the Eliminator course
51:17With real confidence here
51:19Perhaps at the top of that climb
51:21There was the first sign of a little bit of fatigue
51:24Helena is not too far behind you know
51:27And for Millie
51:29Next in her way
51:30The final two obstacles
51:32Arguably the toughest two obstacles
51:34On the Eliminator course
51:36There's a crash landing there for Helena
51:39Oohs and ahs around the arena
51:41A little bit of a wobble for Millie
51:44But with a leap and a bound in her step
51:46She gets to the end of the beam
51:48Turns, looks at Helena
51:50Takes stock
51:51And thinks about a first time run of the Travelator
51:55Has she thought about it for too long?
51:58Look at this
51:59Helena is level with her now
52:01Come on Millie, you've got to go
52:02She does go
52:04Any mistake now and it could be all over for her
52:07But Millie gets to the top
52:09It turns out she knew exactly what she was doing
52:13She made sure
52:16Delight for Millie and her supporters
52:18And now it's the turn of Team Helena
52:21To roar her to the top
52:22There is still a chance of getting a place in the semi-finals
52:26She's got to go quickly
52:27No time for salutes
52:29But there is for us
52:31We can salute an epic quarter-final contest
52:38Millie extinguished any chance of being beaten
52:41With blazing determination
52:43Her place in the semi-finals
52:45Burns bright tonight
52:48That has taken every last breath, hasn't it?
52:50Yeah, just playing catch-up the whole time
52:52But fair play to Millie
52:54Honestly, she is just incredible
52:56You ended up actually level
52:58Going into the Travelator
52:59But you could not have gone straight away
53:01You'd have never made it
53:02No, absolutely not
53:03Like, obviously I saw Millie getting ready
53:05But you kind of just have to listen to your own body as well
53:08And yeah, no, I definitely wasn't ready
53:11Absolutely fantastic
53:12Oh, thank you
53:12Give it up for Helena, everyone
53:17Millie, you are a semi-finalist on Gladiators
53:24My nerves are all over
53:26It takes a lot to come out here in front of everyone
53:28So, massive congrats to us both for even getting us back
53:32Absolutely
53:33Thank you to Millie, our semi-finalist
53:36And of course, Helena
53:37Go see your families
53:38Well done
53:39Well done, well done, well done
53:42Well done
53:43Well done
53:43Well done
53:43Well done
53:44Well done
53:44Well done
53:47Now it's the turn of the male contenders
53:49Mo is eight points ahead of Sean
53:51And that converts into a four seconds head start
53:55For a place in the semi-final contenders
54:00For a place in the semi-final contenders ready
54:24The rope proving no problem for Mo
54:27The rope proving no problem for Mo
54:28One of the hardest parts for him will be staying focused on staring straight ahead
54:32Forget where Sean is, just make sure of completing the course as quickly as possible
54:38A long stride onto the cargo net from Mo
54:41Look how close Sean is now
54:44Well in the heat, he left for the net and missed it
54:46So there's an improvement
54:47And he certainly narrowed that gap from the start
54:50It's getting closer all the time
54:53Oh we've got a contest on now
54:55In the heat, Sean didn't win his eliminator
54:58But he did complete the course in a faster time than Mo managed
55:02Maybe that's on his side
55:04The advantage for now though is still with Mo
55:07As he slides back down to earth
55:10And gets set to tackle the beam
55:12Oh and there's a slip
55:14And not for the first time
55:15The beam proves to be a contenders undoing
55:19And for the first time tonight
55:21Sean has the lead
55:23He's been very careful to make contact with the red zones on the beam
55:27And now as he gathers himself
55:29Mo is there too
55:31They're neck and neck
55:32Who goes first?
55:33It's Mo
55:33A full start from Sean
55:35A fall from Mo
55:37Could this be Sean's chance?
55:40He's quite deliberately taken the time to prepare himself
55:43For one shot of the travelator
55:46And he's done it!
55:48The Seanado tears into the semi-finals
55:53Meanwhile Mo must know that he's been quick
55:55He still does have a squeak at making the semi-finals
55:59And he hauls himself wearily to his feet
56:02To swing through the finish
56:06So Mo joins the ever-growing list of contenders
56:09Who've been bested by that brand new balance beam
56:12But that means Sean boards his non-stop flight to the semis
56:17That was an eliminator for the ages
56:21That was unbelievable
56:23Nip and tuck the whole way
56:24Mo
56:25My balance is awful and that let me down there
56:28I think I should have composed myself a little bit more
56:30Took some more breaths and I think I would have been a lot better
56:33Well I've got to say fantastic performance
56:36Now what do you want to say to your friends and family?
56:38Well I hope they're happy with how I performed
56:40Oh yeah
56:41You're a little proud I'm telling you
56:43That's fantastic
56:44Give it up for Mo everyone
56:49For Seanado
56:50You're a semi-finalist on Gladiator
56:54Semi-finals baby
56:56How do you feel?
56:57Oh I feel absolutely ecstatic
56:58I'm so pleased
56:59Through the games you know
57:00I was really down at times thinking
57:02I'm behind on points
57:04But the eliminators where this show has won and lost
57:06I needed to take the time no matter what
57:08And you know that travel it is fast
57:10So I did exactly that
57:11And went for it
57:14I've got one more question for you
57:16Can you get through to the final?
57:18That's the goal
57:19I've got to be the old man
57:21We shall see
57:22It's our semi-finalist Sean
57:25Go and see your families
57:32What an eliminator
57:34What a show
57:35What a show
57:36That's it for tonight's dramatic quarter-final
57:39What a heroic effort from our contenders
57:42Proof that not all heroes wear capes
57:44Exactly Barnes
57:45Some of them wear blue suits
57:47Nicely
57:47Do you know what I mean?
57:48With a break there
57:49Nice sleeve length
57:50And a shanky and everything going out
57:51It's really good with the lapels going on
57:53It's like you know
57:55You're finished
57:55Of course it's finished
57:57It's a tailored suit
