00:00:09Do you feel the power of the gladiators?
00:00:15Do you have the will and the skill?
00:00:20Do you have the speed, the strength, the heart to be a winner?
00:00:25It's not for beginners, get down in your soul
00:00:31Are you a mediator?
00:00:59I'm a human mediator
00:01:05Please make some noise for your hosts, Bradley and Barney Walsh
00:01:10Are you a mediator?
00:01:14Are you a mediator?
00:01:17Are you a mediator?
00:01:18Are you a mediator?
00:01:20Are you a mediator?
00:01:22Thank you so much.
00:01:24Welcome to Gladiators!
00:01:28CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
00:01:30Wow.
00:01:31The atmosphere in the arena is electric.
00:01:34Bulging muscles, eye-popping intensity, ferocious competitiveness.
00:01:38And that was just a coup to get in.
00:01:40I mean Maureen over there had a security guard in the headlock.
00:01:43Put him down Maureen, what's the matter with you?
00:01:46Time to be the first of tonight's contenders.
00:01:51I'm Gail, I'm 32 years old and I work as a farmer in Scotland.
00:01:57My day begins at 4.30 in the morning.
00:01:59We're milk over 230 cattle.
00:02:02The milk then goes into our family business
00:02:05where we create our very own luxury dairy ice cream
00:02:08using our very own cow's milk.
00:02:10Growing up on a farm, you developed a strong work ethic.
00:02:14I train six times a week.
00:02:17I would say I developed my strength from carrying
00:02:20two massive 20-litre pails every day.
00:02:23We call that the real farmer's carry.
00:02:27My family are ecstatic, especially my nieces and nephews.
00:02:31One of my nieces calls me Auntie Mussels,
00:02:33so I can't wait to show her what Auntie Mussels can really do.
00:02:41My name's Emily Bell.
00:02:47I work in sales looking at the French and Spanish markets.
00:02:52I graduated last year from the University of Cambridge
00:02:55with a degree in French and Spanish.
00:02:57People are like, how many languages do you speak?
00:02:58I'm like, English.
00:02:59Oh, French and Spanish.
00:03:01She's like, oh, yeah, am I fluent or I've got a degree in it,
00:03:02so I should be.
00:03:03And then I did Catalan in my second year of uni,
00:03:05and then I did sign language.
00:03:09I think of the fate rugby finding made,
00:03:11but I genuinely think it is such a great sport for everyone to do
00:03:14in terms of, like, strength, speed.
00:03:17And one thing, especially in the women's game,
00:03:18is you need every single body type,
00:03:20and it's just a great community.
00:03:22I think my family are quite excited.
00:03:23It's quite cool.
00:03:24I'm excited to get the little cousins
00:03:26and sort of cheer me on.
00:03:28I'm not one for cockiness,
00:03:31but I'm here for a reason, aren't I?
00:03:33Speed, strength, agility, power.
00:03:36May the best woman win.
00:03:38Please welcome Gail and Emily.
00:03:42Come on.
00:03:54Gail, welcome to the show.
00:03:58Introduce yourself to the crowd.
00:04:00Hello, Sheffield.
00:04:02My name's Gail.
00:04:03I'm 32.
00:04:04I'm a dairy farmer from Ayrshire in Scotland!
00:04:09How have you set yourself up to Gladiators?
00:04:11Do you train a lot?
00:04:12So I train in the gym six times a week,
00:04:14but the real strength happens on the farm.
00:04:17This isn't just gym strength,
00:04:19this is farming strength!
00:04:22I love it.
00:04:23Can you win Gladiators?
00:04:26Of course I can.
00:04:27Nobody is mentally tougher than me.
00:04:29Come on!
00:04:30Yes!
00:04:32Put your hands together,
00:04:33and it's Gail, everyone!
00:04:39Emily, welcome to the show.
00:04:40Say hi to Sheffield for us.
00:04:42Hi, Sheffield!
00:04:43My name's Emily.
00:04:44I'm 22 and I'm from South London!
00:04:47Yes, South Londoner!
00:04:50You're very brainy.
00:04:51You studied languages at Cambridge.
00:04:53My question to you is,
00:04:55do you have the brawn as well?
00:04:56I'd say I'm a triple threat.
00:04:58We've got brains,
00:04:59we've got brawn,
00:04:59and we've got beauty!
00:05:01Nice!
00:05:03Well, we wish you well!
00:05:05That's Gail and Emily!
00:05:07Brilliant!
00:05:10Recently,
00:05:11the standard has been below five.
00:05:13We've got a plan.
00:05:17I'm sure I mean,
00:05:19it probably makes sense,
00:05:19but any questions,
00:05:20go.
00:05:22Glission,
00:05:22you're swinging off both bridges?
00:05:24Bridge to bridge,
00:05:25yeah.
00:05:25Wow!
00:05:26And we've unleashed you just,
00:05:27you've been doing laps.
00:05:29And then you just get put in?
00:05:31Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:05:32I'm steel, you made it!
00:05:33You made it!
00:05:34You made it!
00:05:35Come on!
00:05:36I'm steel!
00:05:37Max, I was at 12,
00:05:38that's what I thought.
00:05:40No.
00:05:42First off is one of Gladiator's biggest hits.
00:05:46And those hits are normally on the bunts.
00:05:49This is...
00:05:50Jewel!
00:05:53Jewel.
00:05:57On the Jewel podium,
00:06:00for the female contenders,
00:06:01it's Gail!
00:06:06And she is facing...
00:06:08Fury!
00:06:11An intimidating sight for anyone.
00:06:16Fury lives up to her name in duel with only one contender having ever gone the distance.
00:06:24Keeping a watchful eye on this evening's events is our referees team of Sonya McLomer,
00:06:29Lee Phillips,
00:06:30and as always,
00:06:31Big Mark Klattenberg.
00:06:33Contender...
00:06:34ready!
00:06:39Gladiator...
00:06:39ready!
00:06:43En garde!
00:06:52Three!
00:06:53Two!
00:06:54One!
00:06:55Well, Gail looks ready,
00:06:57and she's got off to a really good start here.
00:06:59Fury wobbling a little,
00:07:01and rock backwards,
00:07:02but now it's Gail who looks set to tumble!
00:07:04And down she goes!
00:07:06It didn't last long at all!
00:07:14Gail was determined to milk her time on the podium,
00:07:17but was left looking a little pale.
00:07:22Ah, Gail,
00:07:23I'm gutted for you.
00:07:24Now, I thought with your farm strength,
00:07:26you might be able to hold yourself on duel,
00:07:27but up against Fury.
00:07:29I know.
00:07:30Fury is no joke.
00:07:32Fury,
00:07:32this is your game.
00:07:34Oh, I love it.
00:07:35It's like a boxing match, isn't it?
00:07:37That first hit you got mad.
00:07:39I thought you were going to knock me straight off,
00:07:40but good battle though.
00:07:41Absolutely,
00:07:42it was a good battle.
00:07:43That's Gail and Fury!
00:07:47Next to duel,
00:07:48it's Emily!
00:07:50And she is up against,
00:07:53Cyclone!
00:08:03There's a Cyclone coming!
00:08:05She's beaten all comers on duel,
00:08:07so Emily will need to find a way,
00:08:09to weather the storm.
00:08:12Contender,
00:08:13ready!
00:08:18Gladiator,
00:08:19ready!
00:08:24En garde!
00:08:32Three,
00:08:33two,
00:08:33two,
00:08:34one!
00:08:35Well,
00:08:36we know what's coming with Cyclone.
00:08:37A slow start though,
00:08:39she's sizing up her opponent,
00:08:40now she's got Emily wobbling.
00:08:42Push it!
00:08:43But Mark Klanberg,
00:08:44quite rightly,
00:08:45says no,
00:08:45that's pushing.
00:08:47And he's warning Cyclone again,
00:08:49he's on the ball tonight,
00:08:50is Mark.
00:08:50And it all helps Emily's course.
00:08:53We're pushing!
00:08:54A third warning for Cyclone,
00:08:57she seems rattled by that,
00:08:58she can't get swinging,
00:09:00it's as though she doesn't know what to do up there.
00:09:02And Emily is going to be,
00:09:04the first contender ever,
00:09:06to go the distance,
00:09:08with Cyclone!
00:09:15Emily hit as hard as she could,
00:09:17it barely touched Cyclone,
00:09:18but it stopped Cyclone from swinging,
00:09:20she never got started.
00:09:22That was a fantastic performance,
00:09:24how'd you feel?
00:09:27When we started,
00:09:28she told me,
00:09:29you've already lost,
00:09:29and she was barking in my face,
00:09:30so,
00:09:31I don't remember that loss.
00:09:33Yeah, well done to you Cyclone,
00:09:35what have you got to say?
00:09:39You're doing all this,
00:09:40but if you make it,
00:09:42to the porters,
00:09:43I'll be there.
00:09:51Cyclone's mood dampened,
00:09:52but a stunning start for Emily,
00:09:54after the first event,
00:09:55she leads Gale 5-0.
00:09:58It's time for the male contenders,
00:09:59let's see who's brave enough,
00:10:01to battle our gladiators.
00:10:03My name's Mark Billings,
00:10:04I'm a PE teacher,
00:10:05in Essex,
00:10:06and I'm 38 years old.
00:10:08I'm out every single day,
00:10:10teaching children,
00:10:10how to do a variety of different sports,
00:10:12and having fun.
00:10:13Clear to throw.
00:10:14Yeah,
00:10:15some great throws there.
00:10:16The children probably say,
00:10:17a teacher that joins in way too much.
00:10:19Up, kick, up.
00:10:20I have the dream job.
00:10:23At home,
00:10:24I have my beautiful wife,
00:10:25Kelly,
00:10:26and then I have my son,
00:10:27Thomas,
00:10:27and then my daughter,
00:10:28Ava.
00:10:29Love their sports.
00:10:30Sport and fitness is incredible,
00:10:32for just alleviating daily stresses.
00:10:35My brother passed away over three years ago,
00:10:37and that massively impacted me,
00:10:40in a way that I can't even describe to you.
00:10:41Mama said,
00:10:43Don't give up.
00:10:44I didn't think anxiety was a thing,
00:10:46until I had it.
00:10:47I have a lot of friends that I train with,
00:10:48I think it helps us as a group of men,
00:10:50with our mental health,
00:10:51the fact that we have that release.
00:10:53And just meeting and talking to each other as well,
00:10:55makes a massive difference.
00:10:59The reason that I really wanted to do Gladiators,
00:11:01is I want to show children a challenge is a good thing.
00:11:04There's a real buzz around it,
00:11:05a real, real buzz.
00:11:06Call me as the ladies if you can do it.
00:11:08Always have a heart-hole.
00:11:14My name's Jason Melrose.
00:11:16I'm 40 years young.
00:11:17I'm a gym owner,
00:11:18from the land of the gods, Newcastle.
00:11:20We can be heroes every day.
00:11:22So I've had my gym now since 2018,
00:11:25and our mission statement is to make people a bigger,
00:11:27fitter, faster, stronger version of themselves.
00:11:31I've also got a group of kids who,
00:11:33who literally light up the room, compete against it,
00:11:36even though you tell them a million times,
00:11:38the warm-up isn't a competition.
00:11:40They're going backwards and forwards, bouncing off the walls.
00:11:42They're so infectious, they're great.
00:11:46I was a wrestler with the WWE, got to travel the world.
00:11:50I got to wrestle some of the biggest names in wrestling.
00:11:53Wrestling character was the primate.
00:11:57Half man, half gorilla.
00:11:59Didn't speak a word of English, grunted and growled,
00:12:02a lot like a Geordie.
00:12:03So it wasn't too hard to get into character.
00:12:05Every single cell in my body knows I'm going to win.
00:12:09And I will win.
00:12:11The primate is on the hunt.
00:12:13The gladiators, you are the hunted.
00:12:18Give it up for Mark and Jason.
00:12:32Welcome to the show, Mark.
00:12:34Great to see you, mate.
00:12:35Please introduce yourself to Sheffield.
00:12:37Hi, Sheffield. I'm Mark.
00:12:39I'm 38 years old and I'm a PE teacher from Essex.
00:12:43Yes, come on.
00:12:46All right, let me ask you this.
00:12:47Any of your pupils in tonight cheering you on?
00:12:49Yeah, there's a few students up there tonight.
00:12:52Oh, brilliant.
00:12:53Lovely to see you.
00:12:54Welcome.
00:12:54Now, let me ask you this.
00:12:56Why are you doing gladiators?
00:12:59Why are you on this show?
00:13:00The main reason is my two little beautiful children over there,
00:13:03Thomas and Ava.
00:13:04But a big one for me is we see a lot of children today that are
00:13:07scared to take that step forward, scared to do something,
00:13:10because they're scared of failing.
00:13:11Yeah.
00:13:11And for me, I'm coming on a show like this.
00:13:13I'm going to get knocked down.
00:13:14I'm going to lose at times.
00:13:15It's about picking yourself up and trying things that you're
00:13:18scared of doing.
00:13:21That is fantastic, I've got to say.
00:13:23Let's hear it from Mark.
00:13:27Jason, welcome to the show.
00:13:28Introduce yourself to the arena.
00:13:30My name's Jason.
00:13:31I'm a gym owner.
00:13:32I'm from London, the gods, Newcastle.
00:13:38Oh, wow.
00:13:39You certainly know how to get the crowd hyped up.
00:13:41Oh, I'll tell you what, it's my second name.
00:13:43Crowd Pleaser.
00:13:44Crowd Pleaser.
00:13:46And now listen, you're here on Gladiators.
00:13:48You used to watch the original as a kid, right?
00:13:50Yeah, yeah, me and me, family.
00:13:51Dad, you sit on the sofa, jumping around, sweat dripping from
00:13:54everywhere.
00:13:55But now I'm here, more importantly, on Gladiators.
00:13:58Yes, you are.
00:13:59Jason, I wish you all the very best of luck, mate.
00:14:02Show some love for Mark and Jason.
00:14:06So those are tonight's male contenders.
00:14:08And it's time for their first event.
00:14:11Duel.
00:14:15Playing duel for the male contenders, it's Mark.
00:14:20And he is facing the might of...
00:14:24Phantom.
00:14:29Phantom is a nightmare for any contender on that podium.
00:14:32Eight duels, eight wins.
00:14:35He wants to make mark number nine.
00:14:40Contender, ready!
00:14:45Gladiator, ready!
00:14:49En garde!
00:14:57Three!
00:14:58Two!
00:15:00One!
00:15:01Away we go then.
00:15:02Phantom hits Mark.
00:15:04Mark falls off.
00:15:05Game over!
00:15:06Goodness me!
00:15:09Still missed a hundred percent.
00:15:12So laid back that he's horizontal too.
00:15:17Replays normally just show the key bits.
00:15:19Well, this was all of it.
00:15:23I'm gutted for you.
00:15:24I've got to tell you.
00:15:25That was three seconds.
00:15:27Took me through that event.
00:15:28It was a blur.
00:15:29He just kept me with a blow.
00:15:31Lost my balance.
00:15:32Another blow.
00:15:33And off we went.
00:15:34Phantom.
00:15:35I have to say, I do like this guy so much,
00:15:37because I came from a single-parent household,
00:15:40and it was the teachers, people like you,
00:15:42who made it possible for me to be here today.
00:15:50Next on Duel, it's Jason!
00:15:57Versus Nitro!
00:16:10Nitro, not just an athlete, but a keen dancer too.
00:16:14His fancy footwork and coordinated moves
00:16:16make him a difficult target.
00:16:21Contender!
00:16:22Ready!
00:16:26Gladiator!
00:16:28Ready!
00:16:32En garde!
00:16:39Three!
00:16:41Two!
00:16:42One!
00:16:43Oh, it's a strong start from both
00:16:45Contender and Gladiator,
00:16:47but now Jason has stepped onto Nitro's podium.
00:16:50He'll be disqualified for that.
00:16:55WWE stands for Wrong Way End of Duel.
00:17:00That didn't go to plan, did it, Brad?
00:17:02I don't know.
00:17:03I didn't know whether there was a plan or not.
00:17:05I'm not quite sure.
00:17:05The plan was to not get hit too much and stay on.
00:17:09And then I got run over by a bus.
00:17:12I'm gonna come over to Nitro.
00:17:14What I've got to say about this guy,
00:17:16he made me question myself today.
00:17:18He's got the most amazing energy.
00:17:21Do you know what I mean?
00:17:22I'm the energy guy.
00:17:23And I'm thinking he's taken my place.
00:17:26Jason and Nitro, everyone!
00:17:31Oh, there you go!
00:17:33Neither contender will be getting actually carried away
00:17:35with that start.
00:17:36Both battered, both pointless.
00:17:39It is now time for our next earth-shattering event.
00:17:42Let's get ready to rubble.
00:17:45It's destruction!
00:17:48Destruction.
00:17:50Two contenders and one gladiator
00:17:53in a race through four solid barriers.
00:17:56Each barrier must be tackled differently.
00:17:59And with a head start, contenders must smash, ram, climb and crash their way to reach the central button.
00:18:08First there picks up ten points, the second scores five.
00:18:10If the gladiator reigns supreme, the runner-up gets five.
00:18:15And the last, nothing but dust and defeat.
00:18:22Playing destruction for the female contenders in red, it is Gail!
00:18:28And in blue, it is Emily!
00:18:33And they are going to be taking on Sabre!
00:18:36Sabre!
00:18:37Let's go!
00:18:40Let's go!
00:18:42Let's go!
00:18:42Sabre's sharpened her claws for this one.
00:18:44She's ready to slash, smash and crash through everything in her path.
00:18:48Let's go!
00:18:49Let's go!
00:18:50Let's go!
00:18:53Let's go!
00:19:03Let's go!
00:19:04Gladiator, you will go on my first whistle.
00:19:07Gladiator, you will go on my second whistle.
00:19:10Three!
00:19:11Two!
00:19:12One!
00:19:14Gail in red, Emily in blue, both battering their way through barrier number one.
00:19:19And here's Sabre picking up the battering round to set about number two.
00:19:24Our contenders are doing a pretty good job.
00:19:27They are neck and neck ahead of barrier three.
00:19:30Now remember, the idea with three is to punch and kick holes in those crosses.
00:19:35Get some footholds and handholds before climbing over the top,
00:19:39and look at Sabre go, and look at Gail go!
00:19:42Emily struggling a little bit more.
00:19:46Sabre bounces off barrier four, as does Gail.
00:19:49Number four really does take some getting through.
00:19:52Sabre has another run at it, and the barrier wins!
00:19:56The gladiator knocks off her feet!
00:19:59Gail's going for the kicking route.
00:20:01Emily trying to catch up by climbing over,
00:20:03but Gail is through, and she's going to get to the button first!
00:20:07And claim ten points!
00:20:09Followed by Sabre, a weary walk to the finish,
00:20:12and that means the game's up for Emily, nothing for her.
00:20:20Sabre, ferocious as ever, but what about Gail?
00:20:23Our fabulous farming phenomenon!
00:20:26You started neck and neck, but Gail, you showed the farmer's strength tonight!
00:20:32Come on!
00:20:36Barrier three, Emily, kind of held you up.
00:20:38Couldn't get a hold in the wall to get over.
00:20:40I thought maybe my height wouldn't be a disadvantage,
00:20:42but I'm only little, and it's really high up.
00:20:45I've got to come now to Sabre.
00:20:47What I really feel about this game is it's beautifully poetic.
00:20:51It's all about strong, athletic, feminine women breaking down barriers.
00:20:56Oh, right, okay!
00:21:00And to be honest, I expected to be leading from the front,
00:21:03and I expected every little girl in this audience to follow me,
00:21:06but maybe we should follow Gail, eh?
00:21:09Oh, that's magnanimous of you, I'm sure, Sabre.
00:21:12But you made it sick, it was cut out the points for Emily nonetheless.
00:21:15But Gail, ten points, everybody!
00:21:18Thank you so much.
00:21:19Gail dancing with delight, and no wonder.
00:21:22Ten points sees her leapfrog Emily into the lead.
00:21:25After two events, it's Gail ten, Emily five.
00:21:29Playing destruction for the male contenders in red.
00:21:32It's Mark!
00:21:35And in blue, it's Jason.
00:21:40And they are going to be taking on Steel!
00:21:46Racing against the contenders is 101 kilos of solid steel,
00:21:51and he's ready to crush everything between him and that button.
00:21:55Yeah!
00:21:59Contenders, ready!
00:22:02Thank you, thank you.
00:22:04Gladiator, ready!
00:22:08Contenders, you will go on my first whistle.
00:22:12Gladiator, you will go on my second whistle.
00:22:16Three, two, one!
00:22:19Mark in red, Jason in blue, and barrier one is no match for them.
00:22:24Here comes Steel, and barrier one wasn't even there for him.
00:22:28Mark is already through number two, so is Jason.
00:22:31This is mightily close between our contenders, and Steel is catching them.
00:22:36Mark already over the top of barrier number three.
00:22:39He's got a clear lead on Jason, who's still climbing.
00:22:43Oh, and what a barge into barrier four!
00:22:46That was from Mark!
00:22:47He's hammered his way through to win!
00:22:49Now it's a question of, can Jason get second place and earn himself five?
00:22:54And the answer to that question is no!
00:22:57Steel is there!
00:23:00What fun that was!
00:23:02There was bashing, there was crushing!
00:23:04It was absolutely smashing!
00:23:08You made it look very, very easy, I've got to say.
00:23:11I just didn't see it as a wall.
00:23:13I've got to go through the wall.
00:23:14So run beyond it, go past it, don't run at it, run through it.
00:23:17Okay, Jason, you look a bit dejected, mate.
00:23:19I'm giving it me all.
00:23:21Just, this guy is incredible, going through there.
00:23:23The fellow guys run into a brick wall.
00:23:26Thank you to Mark, Jason, and of course, Steel!
00:23:33Mark, and, sorry, Mr. Billings, top of the class.
00:23:36His first points of the night, he's on ten.
00:23:38Jason yet to score.
00:23:42Barnes, guess what, what?
00:23:43Next up, it's collision.
00:23:45And if the gladiators come out on top in this one,
00:23:48they'll get to, um, swing while they're winning!
00:23:52Yes!
00:23:53What does that even mean?
00:23:54Yes!
00:23:56I can't believe it.
00:24:02Playing collision for the female contenders.
00:24:05It's Gale!
00:24:06Yes!
00:24:09And she needs to avoid Athena and Comet!
00:24:14Enter Athena, named after the Greek goddess of wisdom,
00:24:18warfare and handicrafts.
00:24:19With her power, she's more than handy at collision.
00:24:24Just watch her streak through the sky.
00:24:27Our contenders will have to go some to avoid Comet
00:24:29and those one metre long legs.
00:24:34And Electro!
00:24:35And Dynamite!
00:24:39Electro always lights up the arena.
00:24:42And she's out to stop the contenders charge across the collision bridge.
00:24:47Contender!
00:24:49Ready!
00:24:53Gladiators!
00:24:55Ready!
00:24:59Three!
00:25:00Two!
00:25:01One!
00:25:02One!
00:25:02What tactics will Gale adopt?
00:25:04A little hesitant as Dynamite came flying in,
00:25:08but she's managed to dodge past Electro.
00:25:10Now Comet puts those legs to work
00:25:12and grabs a hold of Gale!
00:25:14She didn't even get across once.
00:25:17Get down, get down!
00:25:18Get down, get down!
00:25:21Gale got past two and thought she was going well
00:25:23until colliding with Comet.
00:25:25Get down, get down!
00:25:28Gale!
00:25:30That didn't last long mate.
00:25:32Is it worth it?
00:25:34Oh my God, that was shocking!
00:25:37I'll be back for the next one, bet you believe it!
00:25:39Give it up for Gale everyone!
00:25:42Next to face collision.
00:25:44It's Emily!
00:25:48Contender!
00:25:49Ready!
00:25:54Gladiators!
00:25:55Ready!
00:25:59Three!
00:26:01Two!
00:26:02One!
00:26:03Emily grabs a blue ball and goes!
00:26:06A very different approach to Gale!
00:26:08And it's worked for her!
00:26:09Two points straight away!
00:26:10She's going for the same again!
00:26:12But Dynamite has managed to knock the ball from her hands!
00:26:15It's not going to change Emily's mind!
00:26:18Oh, this might!
00:26:19She's stopped in her tracks now and she's down!
00:26:21Ball out of hands!
00:26:22Emily off the bridge!
00:26:24Get down, get down!
00:26:26Get down, get down!
00:26:29Get down, get down!
00:26:30Another good round for the gladiators!
00:26:32Emily disrupted and then dispatched!
00:26:35Two out of two for Comet!
00:26:39Emily, I'm gutted for you! What happened there?
00:26:43Those legs are stronger than they look!
00:26:44Oh my goodness!
00:26:46Comet, good contender?
00:26:48She's a very good contender!
00:26:50Listen, this game is all about perfection and I'm a perfectionist and that was perfect timing!
00:26:55It certainly was perfect timing!
00:26:57Look, she goes away with something!
00:26:58That's two points to Emily!
00:27:02Two points for Emily sees her eat into Gale's advantage!
00:27:06Gale has the lead, ten points to seven after three events!
00:27:10Rain collision for the male contenders!
00:27:13It's Mark!
00:27:16And he's gonna need to dodge Viper and Apollo!
00:27:22Here he is, everyone's favourite!
00:27:25The only thing more dangerous than a poisonous snake, a flying poisonous snake!
00:27:32At six foot six, Apollo is a lethal weapon in collision, a 17 stone human wrecking ball!
00:27:41And Hammer!
00:27:43And Nitro!
00:27:45He loves taking down contenders, so they better watch out as Hammer swings in!
00:27:51They'll have to move quickly!
00:27:57Contender, ready!
00:28:03Gladiators, ready!
00:28:08Three, two, one!
00:28:11It's the Gladiators who are getting set and going, and on Mark!
00:28:15And Mark's a little hesitant, he's struggling here, and he's dropped the ball!
00:28:20Nothing for that first crossing of the collision bridge!
00:28:23He got past Viper there, in fact he's getting past them all!
00:28:26Two points for Mark!
00:28:28That should do his confidence the world of good!
00:28:30Oh, he's getting the hang of it now!
00:28:32That was a super run!
00:28:33Dodging, ducking, weaving, and going!
00:28:36Look at those legs, he's even got time for a little dance up there!
00:28:40And he shrugs off an ever-smiling Nitro to score again!
00:28:44Six points for Mark as he keeps his balance before setting off on another run!
00:28:48I don't think he's going to get across this time!
00:28:50Viper has got him!
00:28:52And he's bitten him!
00:28:53Get down!
00:28:55Get down!
00:28:56Get down!
00:28:57Get down!
00:28:59Get down!
00:29:00Get down!
00:29:00Get down!
00:29:00Get down!
00:29:01Really good from Mark, up to the point where Viper remembered he really doesn't like teachers!
00:29:07Goodbye sir, and thanks for trying!
00:29:11Unbelievable mate!
00:29:12How do you feel?
00:29:13Some big hits there!
00:29:15Oh, especially Apollo's legs too!
00:29:17Who was it that took him out at the end?
00:29:19Viper!
00:29:20Listen!
00:29:21Come in Viper!
00:29:23Let me ask you this, you're a man of very, very few words Viper!
00:29:27Please talk us through that moment!
00:29:33Yeah, thanks Viper!
00:29:35So Mark, six points everybody!
00:29:41Next on Collision, it's Jason!
00:29:48Contender, ready!
00:29:54Gladiators, ready!
00:29:59Three!
00:30:01Two!
00:30:01One!
00:30:02Oh, I like Jason's starting position!
00:30:05He looks really keen here, and he dodges Nitro nicely!
00:30:09Then Hammer!
00:30:10Then Apollo!
00:30:11Then Viper!
00:30:12Two points for Jason!
00:30:14That was a really well thought out run!
00:30:16He didn't think about this one though!
00:30:18And the second run comes to nothing!
00:30:21Get down!
00:30:22Get down!
00:30:23Get down!
00:30:24Get down!
00:30:26An event that was always likely to give Jason problems!
00:30:29Wrestling ring, collision bridge, two very different things!
00:30:35Jason, what happened there?
00:30:37I don't know what to say!
00:30:42Pipe yourself down big lad!
00:30:44Pipe down in you!
00:30:46Your cards are marked big lad!
00:30:49Listen, what it looked like to me, was you tried to get under Apollo, and then you just misjudged it!
00:30:55Have you seen the length of his legs?
00:30:57I mean, yeah, they come up to...
00:30:58Look!
00:31:01Apollo?
00:31:01Yeah, it was hard to see down there!
00:31:03Yeah!
00:31:05Give it up for Jason, and of course, our gladiators!
00:31:10Apart from Viper, I think they all like Jason!
00:31:13He's got his first points of the night as well!
00:31:16But Mark has gone further clear!
00:31:17It's 16-2!
00:31:19Time for one of our new events!
00:31:21Everest!
00:31:22And I think it's gonna make a big impression on our contenders!
00:31:25And a bigger impression on the crash map!
00:31:27It's Everest!
00:31:29Everest!
00:31:31A brand new event featuring the highest freefall ever on gladiators!
00:31:38Contender and gladiator must push a 220kg sliding wall across a 10m platform, each trying to shove their opponent over
00:31:47the edge into a chilling 16ft drop!
00:31:52When the siren sounds, the platform tilts, first giving the contender the advantage, before shifting in favour of the gladiator!
00:32:01Who will conquer the summit, and who will face the terrifying plummet?
00:32:06It's time to push it!
00:32:08Push it real good!
00:32:11Facing Everest first is Gale, but which gladiator will you be up against?
00:32:17Let's find out using our gladiator selector!
00:32:25Oh, Cyclone!
00:32:27You will be taking on Cyclone, Gale!
00:32:31How do you feel about that?
00:32:32Oh, good grief!
00:32:35That says it all!
00:32:36Good grief!
00:32:37Now let's find out who you'll be taking on, Emily!
00:32:42Who will it be?
00:32:43It is...
00:32:45Diamond!
00:32:45No!
00:32:46Oh!
00:32:47Dynamite!
00:32:49Right!
00:32:50Dynamite for you, are you happy?
00:32:52Yeah, two explosive powerhouses, let's have it!
00:32:55Perfect!
00:32:56Alright, without further ado, it's time to play Everest!
00:33:01First up, Emily will take on Dynamite, and there's nothing babyish about her skills!
00:33:07She's ready to use her explosive power to shove Emily off the mountain!
00:33:12She might be a big rugby player, but the stats suggest that Emily will need all of those skills to
00:33:18withstand this blast!
00:33:20Contender and Gladiator, step forward!
00:33:42Contender and Gladiator, step forward!
00:33:50Three!
00:33:51Two!
00:33:52One!
00:33:53It's a crash into the wall, and I just wonder if this event will suit Emily's rugby background down to
00:34:00the ground, if you'll forgive the pun!
00:34:02That wall tips the scales at 220 kilos, add the weight of the Contender and the Gladiator, and that's some
00:34:10serious force to reckon with!
00:34:12And the tilt is coming!
00:34:14And here it is!
00:34:15The wall starts to move, and now the odds are stacked against the Gladiator!
00:34:20And I don't think Dynamite will be able to arrest this slide!
00:34:24She's going down!
00:34:30Time for a worm on Everest!
00:34:33Gladiators, we give you everything!
00:34:36Emily showed fantastic strength before exploding into action to blow Dynamite's fuse!
00:34:44You've got to be proud of yourself there!
00:34:46I can't believe what has happened!
00:34:48I mean, like, massive kudos, that was a challenge, she is strong!
00:34:53And Dynamite, despite the result, I mean, the crowd was going wild, you've got a lot of your fans in
00:34:57here tonight!
00:34:58Yeah, I'm the smallest Gladiator, and this is probably the biggest game, and it just kind of shows that no
00:35:04matter what size you are, whether you're big and small, you can honestly do anything you set your mind to!
00:35:09Brilliant!
00:35:10Emily, it's a massive win for you, all I've got to say is 10 points!
00:35:15Yes!
00:35:18Next hoping for victory on Everest, it's Gail!
00:35:24And she is facing Cyclone!
00:35:27Ready, ready, ready, ready!
00:35:36Contender and Gladiator, step forward!
00:35:47Is it me, or is it getting windy in here?
00:35:51Take your positions!
00:36:11Oh, I've been waiting for this, it's Gail against Cyclone, but the way that the Gladiator started, it might not
00:36:18be a storm that lasts long!
00:36:20Look at her go!
00:36:21Gail goes down, the wind has been knocked out of our contender!
00:36:29Another event in which to fear facing Cyclone!
00:36:33That was a breeze!
00:36:36That is a tough, tough, tough task, I mean Cyclone, just awesome!
00:36:40Yeah, it was so scary watching her running towards me, I was like, oh dear!
00:36:46And I'm a bit like that, whenever she's near me, I tell you, oh, oh, hello!
00:36:51Um, better luck in the next event, I have to say, but please give it up for Gail, everyone!
00:36:5910 points for Emily, and with Cyclone blowing Gail away, look at the scores now! Emily leads 17-10!
00:37:09Up on Everest tonight is Mark, but which Gladiator will you be battling?
00:37:25Giant! He is Giant, how do you feel about that?
00:37:28I want the biggest, I want the best, let's get out of it!
00:37:30Okay, fighting words from Mark!
00:37:33Now let's find out who you'll be playing, Jason!
00:37:46Bionic!
00:37:47Oh, are you ready to go head-to-head with Bionic?
00:37:49Nothing much to say, let's get after it!
00:37:51Yes, let's get after it, he says!
00:37:53Okay, here we go, it's time to play Everest!
00:37:59First up, it's Jason versus Bionic, who's ready for his Everest debut!
00:38:03And he'll be looking to play a blinder!
00:38:08Contender in Gladiator, step forward!
00:38:23Take your positions!
00:38:26Contender, ready!
00:38:33Tretaniator...
00:38:33Ready!
00:38:36Three!
00:38:37Two!
00:38:39One!
00:38:40Oh, I hope that glass is tough.
00:38:43They have smashed into the wall, and look at Bionic now!
00:38:47he's starting to make Jason slide but Jason's grip is true he knows the
00:38:53tactic he's got to just stay up there give it all he's got until that platform
00:38:58starts to tilt and here it comes now it should be advantage Jason and his
00:39:04supporters know it Bionic is sliding it's man machine against the private and the
00:39:11private is winning Bionic's functions aren't computing it's a system error Jason wins
00:39:28Bionic started well but it was all about the tilt and when it came man beat machine time beat tease
00:39:36you held on you held on there was one moment where I thought it's over for Jason then I heard
00:39:40tilt
00:39:41and I was like oh it's about to change here oh credit to the crowd thank you so much
00:39:46when I thought I couldn't go any further and you started shouting I got a little bit more and we
00:39:52did it
00:39:53you certainly did Bionic it's the battle of the northeast up there I'll tell you what that
00:39:59when that tilt comes it's extremely difficult so well done Jason
00:40:07next hoping to conquer Everest is Mark
00:40:12who is facing giant
00:40:20an irresistible force and giant will look to be an immovable object on Everest Mark has to somehow move
00:40:27this man mountain from the mountain and that's going to be no mean feat
00:40:32the difference in size and strength between these two is gigantic
00:40:38contender and gladiator step forward
00:40:44come on
00:40:45you're in detention with giant
00:40:47schools out
00:40:49you're going home
00:40:52take your positions
00:40:58contender
00:40:59ready
00:41:03gladiator ready
00:41:073, 2, 1
00:41:11I can't think of anything more frightening than seeing a giant
00:41:15through the glass screen
00:41:16no wonder Mark's not looking at him
00:41:19he's pushing hard but giant is pushing even harder
00:41:23Mark is not giving way though
00:41:25amazing strength shown by the contender
00:41:28he's just waiting now for that platform to tilt
00:41:31and then he'll try and get those leg muscles up and moving
00:41:34to push giant back
00:41:37and now giant's going
00:41:41Mark knows he's got to get this finished before the platform starts to tilt the other way
00:41:47inch by inch
00:41:49step by step
00:41:50time's running out for Mark
00:41:52he's got to do it now
00:41:54this is his last chance
00:41:55and he has done it
00:41:59it's not David
00:42:00it's Mark who's beaten Goliath
00:42:04well giant looks stunned
00:42:06but ultimately Mark takes the victory
00:42:09and 10 points
00:42:14that is extraordinary
00:42:17all I can say is just

00:42:32I felt the thing started to go
00:42:34I was one second away from it
00:42:36yeah
00:42:37but it was too late
00:42:37yeah love it
00:42:4010 points
00:42:41and a teacher
00:42:44so Jason deactivated Bionic

00:42:48after four events
00:42:49Mark leads by 26 points to 12
00:42:53come on
00:42:55our next event is the edge
00:42:57and for the gladiators
00:42:58this is all about the tackles
00:43:00you betcha Barnes
00:43:00yes tackles are vital
00:43:02we're looking for technique
00:43:03accuracy
00:43:04and most of all
00:43:06timing
00:43:07this is the edge
00:43:10the edge
00:43:13contender and gladiator
00:43:14are about to face off
00:43:15on this formidable steel structure
00:43:17suspended 30 feet above the arena floor
00:43:20one slip up
00:43:22one wrong move
00:43:23and it's a devastating drop down to defeat
00:43:25can they conquer it
00:43:27or will they be cast
00:43:28off the edge
00:43:33first on the edge
00:43:35for the female contenders
00:43:36it's Gail
00:43:39and she
00:43:41is hoping to dodge
00:43:42fury
00:43:48contender ready
00:43:53gladiator ready
00:43:573
00:43:582
00:43:591
00:44:02Gail
00:44:027 points
00:44:03down on Emily
00:44:04so she needs a good score here
00:44:06and with a leap at the end
00:44:08she gets her first 2 points
00:44:09going right down the left hand edge
00:44:12and she does the same the other way
00:44:14and evades fury's push
00:44:16to score another 2
00:44:17and she's taking on this game
00:44:19quite literally
00:44:20it is all about the edge
00:44:22for Gail
00:44:22and she's got her timing right
00:44:24that's 6 points
00:44:25this is a great run
00:44:26and she's going again
00:44:28really quickly
00:44:29fury's there to stop her now though
00:44:31and to stop her
00:44:32fully
00:44:38Gail started with a real spring in her step
00:44:40whilst fury played a game of 3 w's
00:44:43wait
00:44:44watch
00:44:45wallop
00:44:49you did fantastic Gail
00:44:51so I had to time it perfectly
00:44:52I knew she was there
00:44:53like eyeing me up
00:44:54I was her prey
00:44:56but I just had to take the leap
00:44:57of faith and get over to the other side
00:44:59and luckily I managed a few times
00:45:00so absolutely buzzing
00:45:02fury
00:45:03happy with the tackle
00:45:04yeah I mean
00:45:05coming into this
00:45:06I never expected to enjoy that game
00:45:08as much as I do
00:45:09because you know
00:45:09many deaf people struggle with balance
00:45:11so I surprise my sign
00:45:13every time I get up there anyway
00:45:14yeah absolutely
00:45:15that is Gail
00:45:16and fury
00:45:17brilliant
00:45:18well played everybody
00:45:22next
00:45:2230 feet
00:45:23up above the arena
00:45:26it's Emily
00:45:27and she is up against
00:45:31Dynamite
00:45:37contender
00:45:38ready
00:45:42gladiator
00:45:43ready
00:45:463
00:45:482
00:45:491
00:45:50so as on Everest
00:45:52it's Emily against Dynamite
00:45:54again
00:45:54Emily won that particular event
00:45:57and she started really well here
00:45:59oh what a good change of direction
00:46:00that left Dynamite all of her days
00:46:034 points already for Emily
00:46:05she's bouncing across the edge
00:46:08Dynamite cannot get anywhere nearer
00:46:10they're not speaking the same language up there
00:46:13it's going to be a maximum for Emily
00:46:1510 points
00:46:1610 points
00:46:1710 points
00:46:1810 points
00:46:19magnifique
00:46:19you get the idea
00:46:22so for the second time tonight
00:46:24Emily defeats Dynamite
00:46:26what a performance
00:46:30wow
00:46:30do you know what
00:46:31that was one of the quickest edges
00:46:33I've ever seen
00:46:34you are so fast
00:46:35that is absolutely terrifying
00:46:37I'm a land mammal
00:46:38don't put me in the air
00:46:40yeah she said she was scared of heights
00:46:41she didn't look very scared up there
00:46:43you didn't look scared
00:46:44did you look down
00:46:45good grief no
00:46:47I mean I don't have anything to say
00:46:49other than
00:46:4910 points
00:46:54Emily's incredible efforts on the edge
00:46:56means that she's got even more of an edge over Gail now
00:46:59an 11 point lead for the eliminator
00:47:02up on the edge for the male contenders
00:47:05it is Mark
00:47:09and he's got to avoid
00:47:11Apollo
00:47:18Contender ready
00:47:23Gladiator ready
00:47:283, 2, 1
00:47:31Down the outside has been the key to scoring points so far tonight
00:47:34and that's the route Mark's taken as well
00:47:37Apollo takes guard and tells Mark which way to go
00:47:41and then goes there himself
00:47:43but now he's only going one way
00:47:45and so is Mark
00:47:46he follows Apollo into the net
00:47:52Apollo saw his chance and went for it
00:47:55but oh what a lucky strike
00:47:57only only just
00:48:00Mark intimidated by Apollo
00:48:02he's just such a big man when he's up there
00:48:04he gets into that spot in the middle
00:48:06and then there looks like there's no space at all
00:48:08yeah okay now this is your game
00:48:10I think the stat is you've got 7 takedowns out of 10 now
00:48:14pretty good stats can't lie
00:48:16but look he's a fantastic competitor Mark
00:48:19one crossing two points
00:48:21brilliant start
00:48:26next on the edge
00:48:28next on the edge
00:48:29it's Jason
00:48:32and he is up against
00:48:34Steel
00:48:39let's go
00:48:42contender ready
00:48:48gladiator ready
00:48:513, 2, 1
00:48:54we know the deal by now
00:48:57the gladiators only too happy to let the contender score the first two points
00:49:01but look at Jason going back and forth
00:49:03for 4 already
00:49:04in fact make that 6
00:49:06and Steel's going
00:49:07he got that badly wrong
00:49:10and while Steel lays dented all the way down there
00:49:14Jason can hop across to his hard content
00:49:18and score a maximum 10
00:49:23Jason just too fast
00:49:25and it was at this moment
00:49:27Steel knew he'd messed up
00:49:30oh wow you've got to be so happy with that
00:49:32oh that was fantastic
00:49:34nerve wracking
00:49:35what people do understand when you were shot on TV
00:49:37it doesn't look that high
00:49:39when you're up there
00:49:40oh my
00:49:41it's another story
00:49:42another story
00:49:43yeah it is very very high up
00:49:44Steel you went for a Hail Mary tackle
00:49:47and just missed him
00:49:47yeah he was a little bit too quick
00:49:49my time was a little bit off
00:49:50I'll learn and move on
00:49:52but yeah fair play
00:49:53well done
00:49:53you were quick up there
00:49:55Jason that is 10 points to you my friend
00:50:0010 points that could be crucial for Jason
00:50:03cutting Mark's lead to 6
00:50:06it's time now for the Eliminator
00:50:09the final chance for our contenders
00:50:11to show us everything they can do
00:50:12well we talk about balance
00:50:14not actually everything
00:50:15I like
00:50:15we're not going to make them like
00:50:16boiling egg are we
00:50:17what
00:50:18although to be fair
00:50:18in Egg and Spoon Race
00:50:19we'd make a very good twist on the balance beam
00:50:21enough with the eggs
00:50:22hot scratch
00:50:23no
00:50:23this is the Eliminator
00:50:25the Eliminator
00:50:27the Eliminator
00:50:29going into the Eliminator
00:50:31Emily holds an 11 point lead over Gail
00:50:33which converts to a 5 and a half seconds head start
00:50:36Gail has it all to do
00:50:41contenders
00:50:41ready
00:50:44Emily you will go on my first whistle
00:50:47Gail you will go on my second whistle
00:50:503
00:50:512
00:50:521
00:50:54Emily is away
00:50:55and a 5 and a half seconds lead
00:50:58is more than healthy for any Eliminator
00:51:00now it's Gail's turn
00:51:02she's got to go
00:51:03and she's got to go mightily fast
00:51:05oh a problem here though for Emily
00:51:07she's swinging helplessly on that rope
00:51:10and look at Gail
00:51:11she's caught up
00:51:12Emily's lead has melted
00:51:14like the ice cream that Gail makes
00:51:16she can only concentrate on looking forward
00:51:19Gail's got her own problems on that pesky rope
00:51:24Emily takes to the trapeze
00:51:26but she had a struggle getting it unclicked
00:51:28she made a circus out of that
00:51:29a step onto the cargo net
00:51:32I think Emily's got her lead back just about
00:51:34Gail trying to make progress
00:51:37oh there's a slip
00:51:38there's a slip from Emily
00:51:39and Gail will have seen that
00:51:41now can she take advantage
00:51:43oh first the slip
00:51:44then the clip
00:51:45again
00:51:46very steady swing from Gail
00:51:48come on you can't hang about Gail
00:51:50it was a nervous jump onto the cargo net
00:51:53Emily already at the top
00:51:55and with time to adjust her knee support
00:51:58before going across to the zip wire
00:52:00it looks as though she's flying through to victory
00:52:04in this Eliminator
00:52:05safe landing as well
00:52:07but the balance beam can wreck any contender's hopes
00:52:11and she's got to be so careful
00:52:13despite being so far in front
00:52:15where has Gail gone?
00:52:17Emily effortlessly across the beam
00:52:20Gail's way behind
00:52:21and now it comes down to Emily
00:52:23versus the Travellator
00:52:26she is just a few steps away from a place in the quarterfinal
00:52:30but that's a missed step
00:52:32luckily for Emily she's still got time to have another go
00:52:35before Gail is on the scene
00:52:38deep breaths for our contender in blue
00:52:41Gail's getting a hurry on now
00:52:43she's got Emily in her sights
00:52:44Emily with another trip there
00:52:46and down again she goes
00:52:48it is agony for Team Emily
00:52:51oh but look at Gail
00:52:53she's stumbled off the beam
00:52:55it's back to the start for her
00:52:57she's going to try that again
00:52:59as Emily focuses on trying the Travellator again
00:53:02this time
00:53:03surely it has to be
00:53:05third time lucky for Emily
00:53:07no she can't hold on
00:53:10and now there's a bigger question
00:53:12can't she hold on to the lead that she's had
00:53:15all Eliminator
00:53:17because here's Gail
00:53:18they're neck and neck
00:53:20Emily sticks her neck out first
00:53:23and goes again
00:53:24she has to do it this time
00:53:26but she's tiring
00:53:27oh it's Gail
00:53:29Gail's going to grab the glory here
00:53:31but she's out of steam as well
00:53:33we've never ever seen an Eliminator finish like this
00:53:37if they can finish
00:53:39this time they go together
00:53:41it looks as though Emily has got the momentum
00:53:44and finally she makes it to the top
00:53:47and makes it through to the quarterfinals
00:53:51elation for Emily and all her fans
00:53:54and here comes Gail for second place
00:53:57I don't think we all need an ice cream
00:54:02what an Eliminator that was
00:54:05unbelievable
00:54:11full credit to Emily
00:54:12she had the lead
00:54:13she lost the lead
00:54:15but through it all
00:54:16she kept the resolve
00:54:17to reach the finish first
00:54:20you're a quarter finalist
00:54:21on gladiators
00:54:26the travelators are nasty one right
00:54:28that is awful
00:54:29it doesn't matter what height you are
00:54:30but my little legs
00:54:31my little legs
00:54:33could only take me so far
00:54:34but that was absolute graft
00:54:36like gave it everything
00:54:38we're going head to head twice
00:54:40I am tired
00:54:43tired you may be
00:54:44but you gave it your all
00:54:46and look
00:54:46we'll see you in the quarterfinals
00:54:49yeah
00:54:50congratulations
00:54:51okay
00:54:52well it's time to go
00:54:54Emily was leaving you behind
00:54:56and all of a sudden
00:54:56you came from nowhere
00:54:57right at the end
00:54:58and it was neck and neck
00:55:00it was so tight
00:55:01I promise you
00:55:01at the bottom of the travelator
00:55:03and then it just did the damage
00:55:05the travelator is the killer
00:55:06is it not
00:55:07yeah I did my best
00:55:08I just tried to run
00:55:09my own race the full time
00:55:11but yeah
00:55:12Emily is just a great competitor
00:55:14it's been an absolute brilliant day
00:55:17thank you so much
00:55:18to everyone of you
00:55:19I'm just a wee ice cream girl
00:55:21from Ayrshire
00:55:21but you've really melted my heart tonight
00:55:23brilliant
00:55:24thank you Gail
00:55:25thank you quarterfinals
00:55:28Emily everyone
00:55:36as Gail and Emily
00:55:38reunite with their families
00:55:39for commiserations
00:55:40and celebrations
00:55:41it's over to the male contenders
00:55:44Mark leads Jason
00:55:45by 28 points to 22
00:55:47and that converts
00:55:48to a 3 seconds head start
00:55:50we've seen Mark's speed tonight
00:55:52and he'll need it
00:55:53to stay in front
00:56:01you will go on my first whistle
00:56:03Jason you will go on my second whistle
00:56:073
00:56:072
00:56:081
00:56:11a really fast start by Mark
00:56:13leaping over the first hurdle
00:56:15here comes Jason
00:56:16and he looks pretty jaunty too
00:56:18I think this might be
00:56:19a very fast eliminator
00:56:21Mark's made really short work
00:56:23of the rope
00:56:24a few more problems
00:56:25for Jason behind him
00:56:27and look at Mark go
00:56:28taking on the overhead ladder
00:56:30two runs at a time
00:56:31it looks as though
00:56:32our teacher from Essex
00:56:34has done his eliminator homework
00:56:37hang on though
00:56:38have a look at this
00:56:39Jason is closer than I thought
00:56:41until then
00:56:42he's collapsed
00:56:43into the bottom of the net there
00:56:45it was a bad jump
00:56:46and it just gives Mark
00:56:47all the extra impetus he needs
00:56:50for a solid and quick climb
00:56:52Kelly Thomas and Ava
00:56:54roar him across to the zip wire
00:56:57Mark is flying
00:56:58and it's a textbook landing
00:57:00as you might expect
00:57:02Jason is summoning up his spirit
00:57:04from those years in the wrestling ring
00:57:06he's not out for the camp just yet
00:57:09now how's your balance Mr Billings
00:57:12he's taking it very slow and steady
00:57:15making sure
00:57:15his foot makes contact
00:57:17with the red parts of the beam
00:57:19he's finished
00:57:20but look at this
00:57:21Jason is there
00:57:22and they're going to be going up
00:57:24the travelator together
00:57:25I really don't know how Jason
00:57:27has made up the ground like that
00:57:29Mark has to do this in one
00:57:31but he can't hold on
00:57:33and Jason can't take advantage
00:57:36he's down at the bottom again as well
00:57:40it's take two
00:57:41the hare and the tortoise
00:57:43the teacher and the wrestler
00:57:45both absolutely pushed
00:57:47here goes Jason
00:57:48and there goes Jason
00:57:51and here comes Mark
00:57:53this time he's got the speed
00:57:55to get to the top
00:57:56and swing through to victory
00:58:02well for a brief moment
00:58:04Jason had it
00:58:05but he's been wrestled from his grasp
