00:00:09Do you feel the power of the gladiators? Do you have the will and the skill? Do you have the
00:00:21speed, the strength, the heart to be a winner?
00:00:25It's time for beginners to get down in your soul. Are you a creator?
00:00:59Are you a gladiator?
00:01:07From Sheffield Arena, this is the semi-final of gladiators.
00:01:12From the world of victory, yeah.
00:01:15Please welcome your hosts, it's Bradley and Barney Walsh.
00:01:27Hello Sheffield!
00:01:31It is the semi-final of gladiators!
00:01:38The contenders are fearless, the gladiators are merciless and he's reckless.
00:01:42Oh yes, I once ate a yoghurt, that was a week past its sell-by date, what a curse, I'm
00:01:46a bit of a maverick, there's nothing wrong, you know?
00:01:48Yeah, if you say so.
00:01:49There's a place in the grand final at stake, so let's meet the contenders hoping to claim victory tonight.
00:01:54It's Millie and Emily!
00:01:56There we are!
00:02:06After tearing through the heats and then smashing through the quarters, we now have our four ferocious female semi-finalists.
00:02:13Tonight, fighting for that one remaining spot in the final, it's the turn of Millie and Emily.
00:02:19Which of these warriors will make it through?
00:02:22First fighting for their spot is Millie, who's had a lot to smile about during her time on gladiators.
00:02:28She was the only contender in the heats to score maximum in hangs-up.
00:02:32Amazing, it felt great.
00:02:34Come a quarter, she took a battering from dynamite on jewel, but remained steadfast to earn five points.
00:02:40Some of them headshots sent me laughing.
00:02:42The firefighter from Cleethorpes looked right at home on the edge.
00:02:46She scored well before getting caught in sabers' claws.
00:02:50Six points, Millie!
00:02:51Well played!
00:02:53And Millie stormed through the eliminator to grab her place in the semis.
00:02:58Now she's up against powerhouse Emily, who's hoping to make her dad proud yet again.
00:03:05In the heats, the multilingual sales consultant sent Mercy to Cyclone for five points.
00:03:10If you make it to the quarters, I'll be there.
00:03:13Emily made it to the quarters all right, and this time beats Cyclone on Unleash.
00:03:18I don't think she's going to be very happy, I can't lie.
00:03:20But I'm so glad I got this flag.
00:03:21And despite starting a second behind on the eliminator, she charged through to the semifinals as the fastest runner-up.
00:03:29It's determination versus power.
00:03:31Who will make it through and earn their place in the gladiators' grand final?
00:03:38Millie, welcome back to the show.
00:03:40Now you're in the semifinals.
00:03:41I think you maybe had a bit of an advantage being a firefighter for heights and stuff.
00:03:45Working at heights, we do that as a firefighter, but nothing gets you ready for just falling off an edge.
00:03:52All right, family in, friends in?
00:03:55Yes, all my friends and family are here all to support me.
00:03:58They've been amazing. Thank you so much.
00:04:01I wish you luck in the semifinals. Give it up.
00:04:02That's Millie, everyone! Yes!
00:04:07Emily, welcome back to the show.
00:04:08You're in the semis. How do you feel about that?
00:04:10Ah! Honestly, I can't even believe it.
00:04:13Glad to be back, enjoying the ride and just having another dance.
00:04:16Let's talk about your quarter-final.
00:04:18Um, Unleash versus Cyclone.
00:04:20It was a fantastic run. You were so quick on that.
00:04:21Thank you. Yeah, obviously, me and Cyclone, we've got history.
00:04:24Stayed up against her, the first contender to do that in Jewel.
00:04:27Um, Unleash beat her again, so I think it felt like 2-0.
00:04:30I'm sure she has got a bone to pick with me today.
00:04:32Any friends and family in?
00:04:34Yeah, I've got my family all here. My family, my boys!
00:04:37We love you!
00:04:37Well, look, we wish you all the very best of luck.
00:04:40That's Millie and Emily!
00:04:46First up tonight is an event that's aggressive, fierce,
00:04:49and will definitely leave a mark on our contenders.
00:04:51Yeah, mainly bruises.
00:04:53It's time for the first event.
00:04:55Everest.
00:04:58Millie, you were knocked off Everest by Cyclone in the quarter-final.
00:05:02Let's see which gladiator you'll face tonight
00:05:04using our gladiator selector.
00:05:11Dynamite!
00:05:12Okay, how do you feel about going up against Dynamite?
00:05:14She's a super strong girl, but I think it'll be a really good battle.
00:05:18Okay, Emily, you successfully pushed off Dynamite in the heat.
00:05:21Let's see which gladiator you'll be taking on tonight.
00:05:27The Sabre, what do you feel about that?
00:05:29I mean, I know she's won an excellent fight, so bring it on.
00:05:33Without further ado, it's time to play Everest!
00:05:39First up on Everest, it's Emily who's facing Sabre.
00:05:42Every week, Sabre spends 19 hours training in the gym.
00:05:46About the same time it takes Mark to do his hair.
00:05:49Look at that silver fox.
00:05:51Joining him this evening are Lee Phillips and Sonya McLomer.
00:05:55Contender and gladiator, step forward!
00:06:05I can't tell if that's composure or confusion from Emily.
00:06:09We're about to find out!
00:06:11Take your positions!
00:06:16Contender, ready!
00:06:21Gladiator, ready!
00:06:263, 2, 1!
00:06:31Different sort of scrum down for rugby-playing Emily.
00:06:34She's got a solid base there, and Sabre is really going to have to work.
00:06:38You can see all the effort she's having to put in.
00:06:41She's inching forward, but Sabre's pushing well over 250 kilos up there.
00:06:46And it's about to get harder!
00:06:48Look at those screens!
00:06:49Here comes the first tilt of the night!
00:06:51It's advantage Emily now!
00:06:54And it's Sabre's turn to try and get a cordon!
00:06:57But she's going to be sent scampering down to earth!
00:07:04Go on, Dad!
00:07:06Go on, Emily!
00:07:09Sabre sent to the vets!
00:07:11And now she's getting warmed!
00:07:15It's play 2-1-2 for Emily on Everest!
00:07:18But it's okay, Sabre will land on her feet!
00:07:21She's got nine lives!
00:07:24I cannot believe what I've just seen!
00:07:26You beat Dynamites on the Heat in Everest,
00:07:28and now you've just beaten Sabre!
00:07:30You're undefeated!
00:07:30I love this new game!
00:07:33Wow! Sabre, what a contender!
00:07:36She just gave it everything!
00:07:37And you're right, I was undefeated on this game,
00:07:39but I think now and again a little bit of that is good for everyone!
00:07:42So maybe you're encouraging me now to up my game too!
00:07:46Absolutely!
00:07:4710 points!
00:07:48That's Emily!
00:07:49Thank you to Emily and Sabre!
00:07:53Next hoping to conquer Everest, it's Millie!
00:08:00Who is facing Dynamite!
00:08:08Dynamite's favourite school dinner, sausage and mash!
00:08:11Oh!
00:08:12Banging!
00:08:17Contender and Gladiator!
00:08:18Step forward!
00:08:23Two smiling assassins!
00:08:25I'd love to know what they're really thinking!
00:08:29Take your positions!
00:08:35Contender!
00:08:36Ready!
00:08:40Gladiator!
00:08:41Ready!
00:08:43Gladiator!
00:08:45Three!
00:08:46Two!
00:08:47One!
00:08:49When Millie played Everest in the quarters, she scored nothing!
00:08:53But she's looking stronger now, holding the 220 kilo wall, plus Dynamite steady!
00:08:59It's strength and stamina that wins this event, and Millie showing both of those right now!
00:09:05Rooted to the spot!
00:09:06The Gladiator just can't get Millie moving!
00:09:09You can see the strain in Dynamite's face, and now the tilt, and Millie starts to push!
00:09:16There's no recovery for Dynamite here!
00:09:18It's going to be a maximum for Millie!
00:09:31What a start for our female contenders!
00:09:34Millie follows Emily in scoring a max!
00:09:36Who's pushing me out there!
00:09:39My analysis of that was, it was fantastic!
00:09:45Honestly, I absolutely love that game, it gives you such a thrill!
00:09:49Dynamite, you were totally in control there until the tilt!
00:09:53A little bit annoying, to be honest with you!
00:09:57But, you know, she's a strong girl, and she's got that height advantage.
00:10:01It's a bit tough for us shorties out here, isn't it?
00:10:03What, eh?
00:10:04Ooh!
00:10:06Every inch helps!
00:10:07Yeah, every inch, half inch!
00:10:08So, listen, that is great for you!
00:10:1010 points for Millie!
00:10:16These women aren't here to mess around!
00:10:18There's clearly a fight for that place in the final!
00:10:21Both on 10!
00:10:23Let's meet the male semi-finalists going into battle with our Gladiators!
00:10:27It's Sean and Josh!
00:10:34When you're down!
00:10:35Hey!
00:10:36With you!
00:10:37Oh!
00:10:40After battling through intense heat, and then conquering the quarter-finals,
00:10:44we now have our four magnificent male semi-finalists!
00:10:48Tonight, it's the turn of Josh and Sean to try and secure that one remaining place
00:10:52in the Gladiators' Grand Final!
00:10:54Aerospace apprentice Sean believes preparation is key, studying his opponent's strengths and
00:11:00weaknesses for a triumphant outcome!
00:11:02Sean learned everything from Dad Murray, a 1995 Gladiators' semi-finalist!
00:11:08Calling himself Sean Ado, the Lancashire lad had swatted up on steel in the heat to score
00:11:14points on hands-up!
00:11:15I mean, he's clearly put his homework in!
00:11:17Well done!
00:11:17He came back for the quarters as one of the fastest runners-up and didn't let the opportunity
00:11:22fly by!
00:11:23He rattled Viper in gauntlet!
00:11:25Viper needs some more practice, I think, because I got back to it pretty quick!
00:11:29And even though he started the Eliminator four seconds behind, his game plan and tactics
00:11:34saw him overtake and claim the win!
00:11:37Oh!
00:11:38Semifinals, baby!
00:11:40Tonight, he'll be taking on Sales Manager Josh from Glasgow, who, it's safe to say,
00:11:46has had quite the journey to get here.
00:11:48In the heat, cheered on by brother Max, Josh left legend Ragen, scoring maximum on the edge.
00:11:54I thought he would have gave me a little bit of a harder game.
00:11:57And despite finishing second on the Eliminator, he returned as one of the fastest runners-up
00:12:02to replace the injured Mark.
00:12:04I'll try my best to do Mark round.
00:12:06And Josh did just that.
00:12:08He nailed the wall against Hammers.
00:12:10He's never been on flat wall, I could have held it all day.
00:12:13Even though he started six seconds behind on the Eliminator, Josh battled back to not only finish first,
00:12:19but smash his way to the semis.
00:12:21Got another opportunity, let's go, let's smash it!
00:12:24It's strategy versus speed, Sean versus Josh, for a place in the grand final.
00:12:32Welcome back, Sean.
00:12:34You're in your dad's tracksuit, the game from 1995.
00:12:38Let's quickly talk about Eliminator.
00:12:40This was brilliant.
00:12:41You were behind.
00:12:42You make it level, right at the bottom of the Travelator, and you sell a dummy.
00:12:47Talk us about that.
00:12:48If you go straight away, you can panic, and that's when you fall.
00:12:51He went for it, and fortunately fell for me, so then I took another five seconds and ran up.
00:12:56Yeah, that was a brilliant tactic, I've got to say.
00:12:58Can you do it again tonight?
00:13:00Oh, most definitely.
00:13:01I'm always going to change my tactics up, so you can expect another one tonight, I'm sure.
00:13:04Okay, all right, well, Josh better get on his marks.
00:13:07Right, for now though, Sean, everyone, give it up for Sean.
00:13:12Josh, welcome back.
00:13:14Let's talk about the semifinal.
00:13:15What events are you looking forward to tonight?
00:13:17So I'm really hoping for a collision.
00:13:18I'm fast, I'm agile, so I think I could get some big scores on that.
00:13:21Okay, that being...
00:13:22Sheffield Arena, you guys are in for a treat.
00:13:25You're simply the best.
00:13:28You're simply the best.
00:13:30You're simply the best.
00:13:32You're simply the best.
00:13:32You're the best.
00:13:32You're the best.
00:13:33You're the best.
00:13:33You're the best.
00:13:35Legend, what are you doing?
00:13:36I couldn't spend another minute back there listening to these two absolute dweebs just talking
00:13:42rubbish.
00:13:44You've got Sean, the shornado.
00:13:48More like the yornado.
00:13:52Now, Josh, I've actually got an award for you here tonight, mate.
00:13:55You deserve this.
00:13:56Put that on, mate.
00:13:59Josh is the worst contender we've ever seen on this show.
00:14:05Boo or not.
00:14:06The joke is on you.
00:14:08You're the ones that have got to sit and watch this absolute garbage.
00:14:12I'm going home.
00:14:13It's a bargain hunt or something.
00:14:15See you later.
00:14:16See you later, legend.
00:14:17Up you pot.
00:14:19Well, look, back to the plot.
00:14:21Josh, are there any gladiators you want to avoid apart from legend?
00:14:25The only gladiator here that intimidates me is Cyclone.
00:14:29Cyclone's everyone's worst nightmare.
00:14:31Oh, 100%.
00:14:32Well, look, we wish you all the very best of luck.
00:14:35That is Sean and Josh.
00:14:37Now we've met our male contenders, it's time for them to take on Everest.
00:14:44Okay, Sean, let's see who you're taking on tonight.
00:14:57Okay, Phantom, what do you feel about that?
00:14:59Yeah, I've taken on two big boys already, so what's the third big boy?
00:15:02Yeah, I totally agree, totally agree.
00:15:04Josh, you ready?
00:15:15That's quite frightening, isn't it?
00:15:17Oh, you're telling me I'm going to have to fight him on that?
00:15:18But let's go, let's hope for a good game.
00:15:20Okay, it is time, gentlemen, to play Everest.
00:15:25First up on Everest, it's Josh, who's facing the almighty giant.
00:15:29Good grief, 1,000 squats are his idea of a warm-up.
00:15:34Warm-up to me, he's putting a coat off.
00:15:38Tender and gladiator, step forward.
00:15:45V501, I smell the sweat to the Scottish mind.
00:15:49I'm not surprised it can smell him.
00:15:51I'd be doing more than sweating if I were Josh.
00:15:54Take your positions.
00:15:58Contender, ready!
00:16:03Gladiator, ready!
00:16:083, 2, 1.
00:16:12It is Josh's first time playing Everest.
00:16:16And Giant has already got him on the back foot.
00:16:19Look at the back foot, it's sliding away.
00:16:21Giant is getting into full power here.
00:16:24And Josh is going down!
00:16:34Josh enjoyed the dizzying heights of Everest for just 12 seconds before Giant brought him crashing 16 feet back down
00:16:41to Earth.
00:16:44I don't call him Giant for no reason, he is an absolute monster.
00:16:47But as gladiators are at the semi-finals, to be honest, when I knew I was coming up against Giant,
00:16:51I was buzzing.
00:16:52You want to come up against the best, that's why we're here, so, yeah, happy with how it went.
00:16:56I think it's extremely hard to appreciate what these guys go through.
00:17:00And the song of the gladiators is very true.
00:17:02You have the courage, the will, the skill, the strength, the speed, and the heart to be a winner.
00:17:08And Josh and everyone here today has got that, and I wish you all the best.
00:17:11That's really lovely sentiment from Giant there.
00:17:14Unfortunately, Josh, no points to you.
00:17:17That is Josh and Giant.
00:17:21Next, hoping to conquer Everest, is Sean.
00:17:27Who will be taking on Phantom.
00:17:34Phantom's first time on Everest.
00:17:36But those thighs give this gladiator a rock-solid foundation.
00:17:44Contender and gladiator, step forward.
00:17:56Oh, this is getting intense.
00:17:59Take your positions.
00:18:08Contender, ready.
00:18:14Gladiator, ready.
00:18:183, 2, 1.
00:18:22Sean's third time up on Everest.
00:18:24He hasn't won one yet, but he has taken the gladiator a fair distance.
00:18:29It's been pushed back quite a distance here by Phantom.
00:18:33Digging in, Sean.
00:18:34That's it.
00:18:34Oh, but now Phantom's got the momentum.
00:18:37Sean takes the backward tumble.
00:18:40See you, Salton Tepper.
00:18:47In his last two goes on Everest, he took it all the way to the second tilt of the platform.
00:18:52This time, just 15 seconds.
00:18:57Third time on Everest.
00:18:58Third loss.
00:18:59Yeah, I know.
00:19:00It's tough up there, man.
00:19:01It's really tough.
00:19:02To be fair, that was probably the toughest yet.
00:19:04I mean, I didn't last the tilt, so I was pretty upsetting, but it is what it is like.
00:19:09He's a strong guy.
00:19:10I'll give it to him, you know.
00:19:12Sadly, no points for you, Sean.
00:19:14On to the next event.
00:19:15Unless you're well.
00:19:18A terrific result for the gladiators, as both male contenders failed to score anything in their first event.
00:19:26Next up, the gladiators will be swinging into action like circus trapeze artists.
00:19:31Clowns more like.
00:19:32There's only one clown on this show.
00:19:33Yeah, giant.
00:19:35What makes you think that?
00:19:36Have you seen the size of his shoes?
00:19:39Collision.
00:19:42Plane collision for the female contenders.
00:19:45Give it up for Millie.
00:19:48And she will lead to dodge Cyclone and Fury.
00:19:55Cyclone can recite all the US states in alphabetical order.
00:19:58Della, where does she find the time?
00:20:01Hawaii, does she do it?
00:20:03This is Fury's first time playing collision this series.
00:20:06But just like riding a bike, this gladiator won't have forgotten how to be a human wrecking ball.
00:20:14Electro and fire!
00:20:18She's not yoking around.
00:20:20Fire loves snacking on boiled eggs.
00:20:23So that's why this gladiator is so hard to beat.
00:20:28Finally, it's Electro, who's only missed one game of collision across all series.
00:20:33She's got the spark for it.
00:20:37Contender, ready!
00:20:43Gladiators, ready!
00:20:48Three, two, one!
00:20:52Millie's first time playing collision, and she's right to be cautious up against the queens of the bridge.
00:20:58Fire and Electro, but she's past them.
00:21:01Not Cyclone though.
00:21:03Ball knocked out of her hands.
00:21:04Go again, Millie.
00:21:05She's focused on the finish here, isn't she?
00:21:07Millie.
00:21:08Eyes only on the other side, and she has got there for her first score.
00:21:12The ball gleefully thrown into the net.
00:21:16The tactics are definitely tentative rather than tearing it up.
00:21:20But she's got to keep a grip on those balls.
00:21:23Reminded of that by Mark Klatenberg.
00:21:27And now Millie's regained the all-important balance that's needed for this event, and she goes again.
00:21:32Strategy and speed are key, and she's keeping a sharp eye on those gladiators.
00:21:36Win to accelerate, win to hold back.
00:21:39Keen coordination again from our contender.
00:21:42There's another two points as Electro was sent spinning.
00:21:46And time is now against Millie.
00:21:49The crowd is counting down, and another one's gone.
00:21:52Millie left stranded in the middle of the bridge on four points.
00:21:58Well, Millie managed not to get knocked off, but wasn't prolific at scoring points.
00:22:03I think the headline is Butterfingers.
00:22:07That was pretty tough for you.
00:22:09When you've got such strong girls coming at you, you don't really know what to do.
00:22:13I lost a hair extension as well.
00:22:16Oh, there it is.
00:22:18Well, you know, hair today gone tomorrow, that's the way it is.
00:22:21So, that is Millie, and four points, everyone.
00:22:27Next on Collision, it's Emily.
00:22:34Contender, ready!
00:22:39Gladiators, ready!
00:22:443, 2, 1.
00:22:49So, here goes Emily, who's clearly had to think about this.
00:22:52And come to the conclusion that the best way is head down and charge.
00:22:56And she's going again.
00:22:57Oh, no.
00:22:59Gladiators in the way this time, those pesky gladiators.
00:23:03But another score, and she's on to four.
00:23:06Managing to duck out of the way of Electro and Fire.
00:23:09And she's ignored the Cyclone warning as well.
00:23:13This is good gameplay from Emily, and she's polite as well.
00:23:16After you, she says.
00:23:18I'm not sure that's a good tactic in the long run.
00:23:21Even if Dad seems happy about it.
00:23:23That will only wind up the gladiators to want to take her down even more.
00:23:27You've got to keep moving.
00:23:29Keep moving, says Mark.
00:23:31But Fury has knocked the ball out of her grasp that time.
00:23:35Emily now does move again.
00:23:37And she's going to go on to 10 points.
00:23:40There's still time to make it 12, you know.
00:23:42Dad's absolutely loving this.
00:23:44But Emily is now looking just a little bit jaded.
00:23:48She's dropped the ball again.
00:23:50That's where it has to end.
00:23:5210 points, though.
00:23:53High five.
00:23:56Well, it's always nice to see some courtesy brought into gladiators.
00:24:00It doesn't really work on collision, though.
00:24:04That was a great run from you.
00:24:07I can't believe I just did that, obviously.
00:24:09I've done collision in my heat.
00:24:10Yeah.
00:24:10Wasn't the best, but that was a way better second run.
00:24:13I'm happy with that.
00:24:14You're just the full package.
00:24:16You know, strength, speed, agility.
00:24:18And, yeah, you put a tough battle for us, so well done.
00:24:21She snuck past me a few times, so I wanted to make sure she got a taste of the cyclone.
00:24:26That's what I was trying to do.
00:24:27Well, she didn't get knocked down, so I think she survived the cyclone, if you don't mind me saying.
00:24:32That's 10 points to Emily!
00:24:37After two events, it's advantage Emily.
00:24:40She's on 20, Millie on 14.
00:24:44Playing collision for the male contenders.
00:24:46It's Sean.
00:24:49And he needs to avoid Viper and Apollo.
00:24:56Vipers typically wait for their prey to come near before striking.
00:25:00But on collision, this snake flies in for the kill like a hawk.
00:25:06And he's on the podium with Apollo, who is strong.
00:25:09One hit from him, and contenders are tired out.
00:25:14And Nitro and Phantom.
00:25:18We've already seen Phantom crush Sean tonight.
00:25:21Meanwhile, Nitro, well, this might be only his second time ever on collision.
00:25:24But let's face it, this gladiator has an annoying ability to be good at everything.
00:25:32Contender, ready!
00:25:36Gladiators, ready!
00:25:40Three, two, one!
00:25:44Sean is off and running and manages to get past Nitro very quickly.
00:25:48And he's given Viper the slip.
00:25:50Good bit of dodging there from Sean.
00:25:52And Apollo went too soon.
00:25:55Sean's got the Techers here.
00:25:56He's in for another score.
00:25:58He's on to four.
00:25:59When he was in the heat, he scored six points in total.
00:26:02He's on that now.
00:26:04Can anything stop the contender?
00:26:06Well, Sean has beaten Apollo once again.
00:26:09Now for Nitro and Phantom.
00:26:10And boom!
00:26:11He's on to eight!
00:26:13Now has he got another crossing left in him?
00:26:16Apollo's got a piece this time!
00:26:18And Viper knocks him down!
00:26:21Down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down,
00:26:25down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down,
00:26:25down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down,
00:26:26down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down,
00:26:26down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down,
00:26:28down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down
00:26:47I've got to say, that was a sensational move.
00:26:50Sensational, yeah.
00:26:51I think that means well done, Sean.
00:26:53Congratulations.
00:26:56Viper, all the training that you do and everything,
00:26:58it's finally come to fruition that you've drop-kicked someone off,
00:27:01so that must be good for you.
00:27:04Thank you for that, Viper.
00:27:06Sensational stuff.
00:27:07But more importantly, it's Sean.
00:27:09Eight points, everyone.
00:27:13Next up, facing Collision for the very first time.
00:27:17It's Josh.
00:27:23Contender, ready.
00:27:29Gladiators, ready.
00:27:34Three, two, one.
00:27:38So, eight points for Sean.
00:27:41What is Josh going to score?
00:27:42This is his first time on Collision,
00:27:44and he's quickly finding out that this is no walk in the park.
00:27:48Well, no.
00:27:49It's a sprint across the bridge,
00:27:50and that's what he's just done.
00:27:52Pairing across onto four.
00:27:54And here he goes again.
00:27:56Excellent.
00:27:57Excellent.
00:27:58High praise from Mark Thunberg,
00:27:59and he's right.
00:28:00This is excellent.
00:28:01Gosh, Josh, I've not seen a Collision debut as impressive as this before.
00:28:06Josh did say that he wanted to have a go at Collision tonight,
00:28:09and we can all see why.
00:28:12Just getting a bit of treatment there.
00:28:13Apollo with a second kick,
00:28:15but he's up off the floor to take his total to ten.
00:28:19Josh's supporters are loving this.
00:28:21A duck, a dive,
00:28:22and now it's kicked out of his hand.
00:28:24He won't be scoring this time.
00:28:26There is still time, though, to score again.
00:28:29Deep breaths, Josh.
00:28:30Oh, there it is.
00:28:32The Gladiators have finally got their man.
00:28:40No, fellas, you can't party after that.
00:28:43Apollo knows.
00:28:46Well, we need to slow down the footage of that game
00:28:49just to see Josh at normal speed.
00:28:51He was rapid.
00:28:54You watch it on TV,
00:28:55you think you've got a bad distance
00:28:56between yourself and the Gladiators,
00:28:58but they're right on top of you.
00:29:00Well, look, you know you're doing something right
00:29:01when Mark Thunberg says excellent mid-game.
00:29:04Oh, I don't know.
00:29:04I thought cheers, man.
00:29:07Apollo, look,
00:29:08you want to know why this is my favourite show?
00:29:10Because of contenders like this.
00:29:11Yeah.
00:29:12No matter the size of the obstacle,
00:29:14and what's in front of them,
00:29:16how many times they get knocked down,
00:29:17they just get back up.
00:29:19So, as an example to everyone at home,
00:29:21if you're down an hour right now,
00:29:22you better look up,
00:29:23you better get up,
00:29:24and you better never give up.
00:29:26Great words for Apollo there.
00:29:29Ten points to Josh.
00:29:34Look how tight this is.
00:29:36Eight points to Sean, ten to Josh.
00:29:38I've got a feeling that's going to be a theme all evening.
00:29:43In this next event,
00:29:44our contenders need nerves of steel,
00:29:47like me.
00:29:47You, nerves of steel?
00:29:48Yeah.
00:29:49I don't get rattled by anything.
00:29:50Nothing phases me, Barnes.
00:29:52Next!
00:29:55You didn't tell me about that, did you?
00:29:57You didn't tell me about that.
00:29:59Time for the next event!
00:30:06Time for the female contenders.
00:30:08On the wall, for the very first time,
00:30:11it's Millie!
00:30:14Trying to climb away from Sabre!
00:30:20Also scaling the wall for the first time,
00:30:23it's Emily!
00:30:25And she's hoping to get away from Comet!
00:30:31Comet's favourite karaoke track is defying gravity.
00:30:35Exactly what she looked to do as she chases Emily tonight.
00:30:39Wicked!
00:30:43Contenders, you will go on my first whistle.
00:30:55Gladiators, you will go on my second whistle.
00:30:59Three, two, one!
00:31:02Neither of these two contenders have taken on the wall before,
00:31:06but it's a very confident climb from Emily.
00:31:10Millie finding it a bit more of a struggle
00:31:12to get her hands and feet in sync.
00:31:13Oh, Comet's got a hold of Emily's left leg
00:31:16and been booted off!
00:31:18Sabre, meanwhile, is just having the time of her life up there.
00:31:21She knows what's about to happen.
00:31:24And it's happened!
00:31:25Millie's down!
00:31:27Emily is nearly at the top,
00:31:28but Comet is closing in!
00:31:30What a recovery from the Gladiator!
00:31:32Can she get a grab before Emily gets over the top?
00:31:36No, she can't!
00:31:38Ten points for Emily!
00:31:41Sabre was grinning like a Cheshire cat on the wall.
00:31:45Meanwhile, the fallen star Comet
00:31:47failed to catch back up with Emily
00:31:48at supernova's end points for her!
00:31:53Emily, you're made of the world!
00:31:55Oh, my God!
00:31:56I can't believe it!
00:31:58Yeah!
00:31:59I'm the queen of the world!
00:32:04Listen, you've got to be ecstatic about that.
00:32:06That's the first time you've played the wall.
00:32:07You absolutely smashed it.
00:32:08Any words for Comet downstairs?
00:32:09I mean, she is lovely, but...
00:32:11Better luck next time, darling!
00:32:14That's a well-deserved ten points!
00:32:16That's Emily!
00:32:18So, after soaring to maximum points,
00:32:21Emily gains a 16-point advantage.
00:32:24She's on 30.
00:32:25Millie on 14.
00:32:28Climbing the wall for the male contenders in red
00:32:31is Sean!
00:32:34And in blue, it's Josh!
00:32:36And honking them down will be...
00:32:41Hammer and Nitro!
00:32:52This gladiator's favourite toy of the child
00:32:55was Buzz Lightyear,
00:32:56and on the wall,
00:32:57he'll be going to infinity
00:32:58and knowing Hammer way beyond.
00:33:11Contenders, you will go on my first whistle.
00:33:18Gladiators, you will go on my second whistle.
00:33:22Three, two, one!
00:33:26Both Sean and Josh have form on the wall.
00:33:29They've both previously got to the top,
00:33:31and they're trying to scale the heights again,
00:33:33but look at that.
00:33:34Josh has already been caught,
00:33:36and Nitro does not want to let go.
00:33:39Sean's climbing well on the left-hand side,
00:33:41just staying out of the reach of Hammer,
00:33:43but that might be about to change.
00:33:44There was a slip of the feet from Sean.
00:33:46Look how close Hammer is!
00:33:48And he's got a hold of the harness.
00:33:51Nitro's nearly got the job done as well,
00:33:54and there's one completed.
00:33:56And there's two!
00:33:58Brilliant work by the gladiators.
00:34:00That's a win for Hammer and Nitro.
00:34:04Nitro had Josh within reach very early.
00:34:07Hammer always had Sean in his sights.
00:34:09The gladiators going up a gear for the semis.
00:34:13I think he slipped the harness guy a tenner
00:34:16to get me all tangled up.
00:34:17I would have been away,
00:34:18but you're coming off against the best.
00:34:20It was a difficult fight.
00:34:22So I took my time on a bit of a speed limit with this wall.
00:34:25I can't go too fast, otherwise I'll go past him.
00:34:28Unfortunately, there's no points for you.
00:34:29A round of applause to Josh and Nitro.
00:34:32Almost got away from him.
00:34:34I felt him tickling me the whole time.
00:34:36It was pretty scary.
00:34:37I got under that pressure,
00:34:39and I fumbled a bit,
00:34:40and that's when I got caught.
00:34:41Well, no points for Sean,
00:34:43but thank you very much.
00:34:44Sean and Josh, everyone,
00:34:45and of course Nitro and Hammer, everybody.
00:34:51So no change to our contender scores.
00:34:54Sean on eight,
00:34:55Josh on ten.
00:34:58Dad, what?
00:34:58Could you describe our next event in one word?
00:35:00Yeah, no problem.
00:35:01Go on then.
00:35:02Ouch.
00:35:04Actually, that's pretty spot on.
00:35:05It's time for the next event.
00:35:08Suspension Bridge.
00:35:10A game of swaying, swinging, and survival.
00:35:14The contender has to cross the suspension bridge to the opposite podium.
00:35:18But to get there,
00:35:19they'll need to engage in a hammerhead battle against a gladiator,
00:35:23who's determined to block their path and knock them off.
00:35:27Make it to the gladiator's podium,
00:35:29and it's ten points.
00:35:31Fall, and it's nothing.
00:35:33In the ultimate test of balance and brawn,
00:35:36it's Suspension Bridge.
00:35:40Playing Suspension Bridge for the female contenders,
00:35:44it's Millie.
00:35:47And she is facing the might of Electro.
00:35:59Contender ready.
00:36:04Gladiator ready.
00:36:09Three, two, one.
00:36:13Millie having a long look at Electro over on the other side of the bridge.
00:36:17But now they come together, and the sparks are flying.
00:36:20And so is Millie.
00:36:24Electro on full power.
00:36:29Well, her full-voltage strike dazzled Millie so much,
00:36:32she thought the bridge was wider than it is.
00:36:34Talk about being shocked.
00:36:37That was the worst performance I have ever done.
00:36:41I just don't know what happened.
00:36:42I was so confident.
00:36:43And I think that first hit, it just, it sent me west.
00:36:46Yeah, I thought it was a good one.
00:36:47This game, I want to describe it,
00:36:49it's like a duel, but in your dreams, you know what I mean?
00:36:50Right.
00:36:50Everyone's a little bit weird, everyone's a little bit wobbly.
00:36:52I feel quite stable up there, but yeah, sorry babes.
00:36:56Sorry to Millie, sadly zero points, but best of luck in the next one.
00:36:59That is Millie and Electro.
00:37:03Next on the bridge, it's Emily.
00:37:08Versus Cyclone.
00:37:11Emily and Cyclone meet face-to-face for the third time.
00:37:15Emily leads the feud, having previously stayed up on duel and won at Unleash.
00:37:20Cyclone is one gladiator with an axe and a hammerhead to grind.
00:37:26Contender, ready!
00:37:32Gladiator, ready!
00:37:36Three, two, one!
00:37:40Emily, the storm chaser, runs straight into Cyclone,
00:37:44wielding that hammerhead which is over two metres long,
00:37:47and that hasn't lasted very long.
00:37:50Emily chose to attack from the side,
00:37:53and that's when it's very easy to be unbalanced.
00:37:57As demonstrated here by Super Cyclone.
00:38:02There's a bit of previous between you two.
00:38:05You stayed up against Cyclone on duel.
00:38:07You actually thrashed her in Unleash.
00:38:09Yeah, obviously that was a highlight for me against Cyclone,
00:38:11so I reckon she wanted to sort of make it even.
00:38:13But it's still Emily 2, Cyclone 1, right?
00:38:19You get to the final.
00:38:21Be ready.
00:38:22Because...
00:38:23if she gets me on Powerball,
00:38:26on Everest,
00:38:28on duel,
00:38:30you're done.
00:38:43I'll tell you what,
00:38:44good job I was here,
00:38:45otherwise she'd have had you.
00:38:48The Gladiators defended that bridge
00:38:50better than the troll
00:38:51in the three Billy Goats gruff,
00:38:53so no change in score for Millie or Emily.
00:38:56Playing suspension bridge for the very first time.
00:38:59Next up, it is Sean.
00:39:02He is up against Viper.
00:39:28Viper!
00:39:29He's on the bridge and advances towards Viper.
00:39:31Oh, here comes Viper!
00:39:33He's launched himself at Sean!
00:39:35I'm not sure that was within the rules.
00:39:40What happened there then?
00:39:42Well, I think it was pretty self-explanatory.
00:39:44Mark will have something to say about it, I'm sure.
00:39:48The rules state that the Gladiator cannot charge
00:39:51and push the content off the bridge.
00:39:54Therefore,
00:39:56I'm disqualifying Viper.
00:39:59I can award Sean
00:40:01five points!
00:40:02Let's go, dude.
00:40:03Put it there.
00:40:05You happy with that?
00:40:06Yeah.
00:40:06I'll take it.
00:40:07I wanted the full ten.
00:40:08It is what it is.
00:40:09I'll take the five.
00:40:10Viper, any words from you?
00:40:15Yeah, never plays by the rules, that Viper,
00:40:17but hey-ho,
00:40:18you've got to be happy with that.
00:40:19That is five points to Sean, everybody.
00:40:21That's Sean Aido.
00:40:24Next up, on the bridge tonight,
00:40:26it's Josh.
00:40:29And he is up against Hammer.
00:40:31And he is up against Hammer.
00:40:35And he is up against Hammer.
00:40:43Contender, ready!
00:40:49Gladiator, ready!
00:40:54Three, two, one!
00:40:59Josh versus Hammer
00:41:00in a contest that is all about
00:41:02balance, strength
00:41:03and a little bit of luck.
00:41:06And Josh had none of it.
00:41:08Hammered!
00:41:12Josh's game plan here was,
00:41:14well, we'll never know.
00:41:15Have that!
00:41:18Bit of a mismatch there.
00:41:20You're telling me.
00:41:20Look at the size of him.
00:41:22Yeah, certainly felt like
00:41:23a hammer in the head there.
00:41:24Can't argue with that.
00:41:25To be fair,
00:41:26you love this game, don't you?
00:41:28This is one of my games.
00:41:29Hammer by name,
00:41:29hammer by nature.
00:41:30He's not getting by me.
00:41:32I'm not going to lose on this one.
00:41:34Sheffield.
00:41:35What time is it?
00:41:36Hammer time!
00:41:40Hammer time!
00:41:44Hammer time!
00:41:47The lead has changed hands.
00:41:49Sean on 13,
00:41:50Josh on 10.
00:41:53Like all of our events,
00:41:55this next one requires
00:41:57both brains and brawn.
00:41:58Which would you use?
00:41:59Neither.
00:42:00I'd fake an injury and go home.
00:42:02Very wise.
00:42:03Time for the next event.
00:42:04Hammy.
00:42:04Got a hammer.
00:42:05Hang tough.
00:42:08Hoping to hang tough.
00:42:10It's Emily.
00:42:14Who is hoping to avoid
00:42:16dynamite?
00:42:41It's Emily against dynamite part three.
00:42:44another rivalry
00:42:46which goes back to the heats.
00:42:48And the current scores on the doors.
00:42:501-1.
00:42:52Last time Emily played hang tough,
00:42:54she didn't score anything.
00:42:55She'll be determined
00:42:56to put that right here.
00:42:58Dynamite, though,
00:42:59has got her.
00:43:00Now this will spell trouble,
00:43:02surely.
00:43:04Emily's family enjoying it
00:43:05a whole lot more
00:43:06than she must be.
00:43:07It might help
00:43:08if she gets two hands on one ring,
00:43:10preferably a red one.
00:43:11So much time still remaining.
00:43:15But not now.
00:43:21Well, I loved hearing that chat.
00:43:24Dynamite actually asked,
00:43:25do you want to go?
00:43:26And Emily said,
00:43:27yeah, I do, I think.
00:43:30I'm not a fan of this one.
00:43:32I was doing some thumb walls
00:43:33to get my thumbs going,
00:43:34ready to grip on.
00:43:35Didn't do the job,
00:43:35but I sort of just go as I please,
00:43:37sing a little song,
00:43:38enjoy the ride,
00:43:39and I get to meet lovely Dynamite
00:43:41in the middle.
00:43:42Next up,
00:43:44it's Millie.
00:43:47And she is up against
00:43:49Fire.
00:43:59Contender,
00:44:00ready.
00:44:06Gladiator,
00:44:07ready.
00:44:11Three,
00:44:11two,
00:44:13one.
00:44:14So what an opportunity for Millie.
00:44:16With Emily taken down,
00:44:18she's got the chance
00:44:18to close the gap here,
00:44:20and she has hand-tough form.
00:44:22She got maximum points
00:44:24in the heat.
00:44:25Now,
00:44:26facing the heat of fire.
00:44:28And what's the golden rule?
00:44:30You should never,
00:44:32ever,
00:44:33get too close to fire.
00:44:35Looks as though she might get away
00:44:36with a scorching there.
00:44:38Try a different route now,
00:44:40Millie.
00:44:41Oh dear,
00:44:41she's done it again.
00:44:43Straight back in
00:44:44to feel the heat
00:44:45of the gladiator once more.
00:44:47Fire trying to coax
00:44:49the contender down.
00:44:50Millie's got a strong grip there.
00:44:52Over 130 kilos,
00:44:55pulling on Millie's arms,
00:44:56her shoulders,
00:44:57her forearms.
00:44:58They'll be burning now.
00:45:00Hard for the gladiator too.
00:45:02Fire must make sure
00:45:03she doesn't slip away
00:45:04to the floor
00:45:04without the contender
00:45:06going with her.
00:45:08I think Fire's going to have
00:45:09to try something different here.
00:45:10Only four seconds to go.
00:45:13Millie hanging.
00:45:14Very tough indeed.
00:45:16And going all the way.
00:45:21That was some performance
00:45:24from Firefighter Millie.
00:45:26Fighting Fire
00:45:27and winning.
00:45:28Just another day at work.
00:45:32What a performance.
00:45:33I mean,
00:45:34you are a firefighter
00:45:34and you fought Fire
00:45:36and you come out on top.
00:45:37Finally,
00:45:38I needed to get my comeback.
00:45:39Fire.
00:45:40What a contender.
00:45:41Probably the only person
00:45:42that can take me down
00:45:43as a firefighter.
00:45:44So,
00:45:44well done for giving me
00:45:45the best firefighter
00:45:47I could have.
00:45:48Congratulations,
00:45:49that is Firefighters to Millie.
00:45:51At the end of five events,
00:45:52Millie finishes on 19,
00:45:54Emily's on 30.
00:45:55We'll find out
00:45:56what that means
00:45:57for the eliminator
00:45:57later on.
00:46:00Playing hang tough
00:46:01for the male contenders.
00:46:02It's Josh
00:46:05and he's taking on Apollo.
00:46:18Contender ready.
00:46:24Gladiator ready.
00:46:303, 2, 1.
00:46:34It's Josh's debut
00:46:35on hang tough
00:46:36and it's his first time
00:46:38facing Apollo
00:46:39in a head-to-head battle.
00:46:41Apollo is getting
00:46:42his groove on.
00:46:44Josh wobbling
00:46:45a little bit
00:46:45and it can be hard
00:46:47to rectify the situation
00:46:49when you start to shake.
00:46:51It might well be about
00:46:52to get even harder
00:46:53because Apollo
00:46:54will now set about
00:46:55the business
00:46:56and try to shake
00:46:57Josh off those rings
00:46:59and business is good.
00:47:04Josh never really
00:47:05got to grips with that.
00:47:06Such a shame.
00:47:07Looks like Apollo
00:47:08isn't the only god
00:47:09of poetry around here.
00:47:12Looking forward
00:47:13to doing that game.
00:47:14It's a lot of fun.
00:47:15It's quite hard
00:47:16to change direction
00:47:16when you're up there
00:47:17and you've got
00:47:17a god like Apollo
00:47:18coming at you
00:47:19with Thunder Thighs.
00:47:20There's no really
00:47:20place you can go.
00:47:22So, Thunder Thighs,
00:47:23how is it?
00:47:24Well, what a compliment.
00:47:25Apollo Airways
00:47:26doesn't get out there a lot
00:47:26but so enjoyable.
00:47:28But I think
00:47:28every game I've played
00:47:29I've won now.
00:47:30So, look,
00:47:31if you're just tuning in
00:47:32at home,
00:47:32welcome to the Apollo Show.
00:47:37Sadly, no points.
00:47:39It's Josh, everyone!
00:47:42Playing hang tough
00:47:43for the male contenders
00:47:44is Sean.
00:47:47And he is swinging
00:47:49against Steele.
00:47:55Steele has always
00:47:56loved hanging around
00:47:57but last time
00:47:58against Sean
00:47:59in this event
00:48:00it was the contender
00:48:01who proved tough enough.
00:48:03He stayed on those
00:48:04hang tough rings
00:48:04for the full minute
00:48:05the last time
00:48:06he took on Steele
00:48:07delighting Dad Murray
00:48:09who faced the gladiators
00:48:10himself in 1995.
00:48:12Not Steele, though.
00:48:13He was only five.
00:48:16Contender
00:48:17ready!
00:48:22Gladiator
00:48:23ready!
00:48:25Let's go!
00:48:26Three
00:48:27two
00:48:28one!
00:48:30Oh, I'm rubbing
00:48:31my hands
00:48:32with anticipation
00:48:32for this one.
00:48:34Sean against
00:48:35Steele in hang tough.
00:48:36It's the grudge
00:48:37match we've been
00:48:37waiting for.
00:48:39Sean's making
00:48:40good progress
00:48:40but he's got to be
00:48:41careful not to swing
00:48:42too close to Steele
00:48:43who has one
00:48:45grub at him
00:48:45and now uses his legs
00:48:47and locks on.
00:48:48Oh, look at Sean!
00:48:49He's floundering around
00:48:50like a salmon
00:48:51caught in a net
00:48:52and Steele
00:48:54is going fishing.
00:48:56Team Shornado
00:48:57urged their hero
00:48:58to hang on.
00:48:59He's trying desperately
00:49:01to wriggle free
00:49:02but Steele
00:49:03has got his hooks in.
00:49:0525 seconds
00:49:05still to go.
00:49:07Sean is
00:49:08really taking
00:49:09the name of the game
00:49:10to the limit.
00:49:10He is hanging tough.
00:49:12Really tough
00:49:13but it's only
00:49:14going to get tougher.
00:49:16Look how hard
00:49:16Steele's working.
00:49:19The countdown's
00:49:21on from 10 now.
00:49:22Sean is showing us
00:49:23all that he's got
00:49:24a grip of
00:49:25well, Steele.
00:49:263, 2, 1.
00:49:29He's hung on
00:49:30for 5 points.
00:49:32Absolutely magnificent.
00:49:38These two give us
00:49:39a brilliant battle
00:49:40every time.
00:49:42A showdown
00:49:42like their first
00:49:43which ended in Sean
00:49:44once again
00:49:45scoring 5.
00:49:49You've got to be
00:49:50happy with that.
00:49:51I'm absolutely
00:49:51buzzing with that.
00:49:52Obviously I had my
00:49:53back to him
00:49:54and he wrapped me up
00:49:54and I thought
00:49:54no, no, I'm gone,
00:49:56I'm gone.
00:49:56But yeah, I managed
00:49:57to just hold on
00:49:58for a day like
00:49:59we were both
00:49:59screaming at the start.
00:50:01It was just class.
00:50:01What have you got
00:50:02on your hands?
00:50:03This year
00:50:03and your grip
00:50:04is insanely strong.
00:50:05Yeah.
00:50:06It felt like
00:50:06we were on there
00:50:07for ages.
00:50:08You're by far
00:50:08the hardest
00:50:09and toughest
00:50:09contender
00:50:10I've got on
00:50:10Hang Tough
00:50:10so well done bro.
00:50:12Yes!
00:50:135 points to Sean!
00:50:17What a fight
00:50:18this is
00:50:19for that place
00:50:20in the final.
00:50:21After five events
00:50:22Sean finishes
00:50:22with a massive
00:50:23eight point lead
00:50:24which could be
00:50:25key going
00:50:26into the eliminator.
00:50:28This is it.
00:50:30It's time
00:50:30for the ultimate
00:50:31end game.
00:50:32The winner of this
00:50:33will be racing
00:50:34into the grand final
00:50:35with a shot
00:50:35at gladiators glory.
00:50:37Oh yes,
00:50:37our contenders
00:50:38must draw on all
00:50:39their physical strength
00:50:39and sporting prowess.
00:50:41What about us?
00:50:42We just put our feet up
00:50:43and crack out
00:50:44the old
00:50:45I love this job.
00:50:48It's
00:50:48the eliminator!
00:50:53The eliminator.
00:50:54So first off
00:50:56it's the female
00:50:57contenders
00:50:57fighting it out
00:50:58for a place
00:50:59in the grand final.
00:51:00Emily is 11 points
00:51:02ahead of Millie
00:51:03and with each point
00:51:04being worth
00:51:04half a second
00:51:05it means Emily
00:51:06has a five and a half
00:51:07second advantage.
00:51:09Replacing the grand final.
00:51:12Contenders
00:51:13ready!
00:51:18Emily,
00:51:19you will go
00:51:19on my first whistle.
00:51:21Millie,
00:51:21you will go
00:51:22on my second whistle.
00:51:24Three,
00:51:25two,
00:51:26one!
00:51:28Emily is away.
00:51:29A little shake
00:51:30of the hands
00:51:30to get herself loose
00:51:31for the challenger
00:51:32ahead.
00:51:33And it's a really
00:51:34bright start.
00:51:35Now here comes Millie.
00:51:37Emily is already
00:51:38halfway up the rope
00:51:39but that's proving
00:51:40to be a bit
00:51:40of a struggle
00:51:41for her.
00:51:42Wonder if Millie's
00:51:43seen that.
00:51:44She has,
00:51:44all right.
00:51:45She's catching up
00:51:46on Emily
00:51:46who now moves
00:51:48sweetly across
00:51:49the overhead ladders
00:51:50but there really
00:51:51isn't much in this.
00:51:53The form is
00:51:54with Emily.
00:51:55In their quarterfinals
00:51:57Emily went
00:51:58through the eliminator
00:51:59in a much faster
00:52:00time than Millie
00:52:01but then again
00:52:02Millie has
00:52:02previous experience
00:52:03of winning
00:52:04the final event
00:52:05of the night
00:52:05and she will not
00:52:07be giving this up
00:52:07as she jumps
00:52:08onto the cargo net.
00:52:10Emily's still
00:52:11in her sights
00:52:11but very nearly
00:52:12at the top.
00:52:13Here she goes
00:52:14hauling herself up
00:52:15to go across
00:52:16to the zip wire.
00:52:17Now as ever
00:52:18we start to think
00:52:20about the final
00:52:21two things in a way.
00:52:22The balance beam
00:52:23and then the travelator
00:52:24because that's all
00:52:25that stands
00:52:26between Emily
00:52:27and her place
00:52:28in the grand final
00:52:29and she seems
00:52:30to have extended
00:52:31her lead
00:52:31over Millie here
00:52:32skipping across
00:52:34the balance beam
00:52:35well done
00:52:36that was wonderful.
00:52:38Now taking deep breaths
00:52:39if she can do
00:52:40the travelator
00:52:41in a one-er
00:52:43a place in the final
00:52:44is hers
00:52:45here goes Emily
00:52:46keeping her balance
00:52:47trying to keep up
00:52:48with the power
00:52:49but she can't
00:52:51cling on
00:52:52and Millie's lost
00:52:53her balance
00:52:54on the beam
00:52:55the pressure
00:52:56is getting to
00:52:57both of them
00:52:57they're really
00:52:58tired as well
00:52:59it's been a grueling
00:53:01night up against
00:53:01the gladiators
00:53:03Emily goes again
00:53:05this time
00:53:06a straight run
00:53:07she's going to
00:53:08get there
00:53:09and it will be
00:53:10Emily
00:53:11who will get
00:53:12the shot
00:53:13at final glory
00:53:16sheer joy
00:53:17for her family
00:53:18and it's being
00:53:20matched on the
00:53:21arena floor
00:53:21by the sheer
00:53:22determination
00:53:23of Millie
00:53:24to complete
00:53:25this semi-final
00:53:26as quickly
00:53:26as she can
00:53:27second place
00:53:29but she deserves
00:53:31a hearty
00:53:32cheer as well
00:53:36well Emily
00:53:37speaks several
00:53:38languages
00:53:39and knows
00:53:40the language
00:53:40of winning
00:53:41trivia on Emily
00:53:42wunderbar
00:53:43time to say
00:53:44hola
00:53:45to the grand final
00:53:46what a battle
00:53:47that was
00:53:48you have done
00:53:49the fire service
00:53:50proud
00:53:50yeah honestly
00:53:52best experience
00:53:53of my life
00:53:54when I saw Emily
00:53:55go up the first
00:53:56time I thought
00:53:57right
00:53:57this is my time
00:53:59but I put too much
