TVTranscript
00:09Do you feel the power of the gladiator?
00:15Do you have the will and the skill?
00:20Do you have the speed and strength?
00:23The heart to be your leader?
00:26It's not for beginners.
00:28I'll get down to your flow.
00:32Are you a creator?
00:59I'm a human gladiator.
01:04Please welcome your hosts, Bradley and Barney Walsh.
01:20I'm a human gladiator.
01:26It's the last of our heats of the final chance for our contenders to secure a place in the quarters.
01:33Tonight's events are absolutely brutal.
01:36Oh, they really are.
01:37And I have tested every single one of them.
01:41You what?
01:41Yeah, had to make sure they were safe, mate.
01:44Absolutely, yeah.
01:45Hang on, you tested Unleash?
01:46Oh, yes.
01:47And Dior?
01:48Absolutely.
01:48Even the Eliminator?
01:49Of course, Barnes.
01:50Well, when they said everything was tested by dummies, I didn't realize they meant you.
01:57Time to be the first of tonight's contenders.
02:00My name is Sid.
02:01I'm 28 and I'm from Sheffield and I work as a personal trainer.
02:04And I'm back with the madness.
02:06I'm a champion.
02:07Originally, I'm from Bangladesh.
02:09I moved here when I was eight years old.
02:11I struggled to communicate because my only language was Bengali.
02:14But through getting involved in team sport, we had to actually communicate.
02:18So if I played well, someone would actually come up to me and be like, you know, hey, great job.
02:21And here we go.
02:21I picked up another word.
02:23Good job.
02:26I'm also a bodybuilder.
02:28Went to the British finals, came second.
02:29And British and European finals, I came third in that as well.
02:32From bodybuilding to now I'm more attire as well.
02:34I've been doing it for about a year.
02:36It's a skill rather than just like moving heavyweight.
02:38So it takes a lot of hard work and effort.
02:41I may be small, but I would like to say I'm very strong and powerful.
02:44I'm raring to go.
02:46Let's go!
02:48My name is Mahong, also known as Mo.
02:51I've been in construction over five years.
02:53I live in Swansea and I'm 35 years old.
02:59My nickname's Big Mo and Mo the Motivator.
03:04Health and fitness is a huge thing for me because as a dad, I want to be an inspiring role
03:09model.
03:10As a family, we are very sporty.
03:12Naila, recently she did a 1K run at the age of three.
03:16How fast can you run?
03:18Super, super fast.
03:19Super, super fast.
03:20There we are.
03:21I get my speed off here.
03:24When I meet the gladiators, they're going to get steamrolled.
03:27There's no questions, no ifs, no buts.
03:29Have they met me?
03:30They haven't.
03:32Please welcome Mo and Sid.
03:43Mo, please introduce yourself to the arena.
03:47Hi everyone, I'm Mo.
03:48I'm from Swansea.
03:49I'm 35 and I'm a construction foreman.
03:52All right.
03:55What have you got with you?
03:56I've got my daughter, my partner and my cousins and a whole load of other people.
04:01You obviously want to make those proud.
04:03I'd love to make my daughter proud.
04:04I'm her superhero.
04:06Oh yeah.
04:07Has she got a name for you as a superhero?
04:08Uh, Big Mo.
04:10Big Mo.
04:11All right.
04:12Excellent stuff.
04:13You said you've got a message for the gladiators.
04:16No it's or buts.
04:17They're going to get steamrolled, baby.
04:19Oh, steamrolled, baby.
04:21That'll do us.
04:22Let's hear it for Mo, everyone.
04:24Yes.
04:25Big Mo.
04:27Sid, welcome to the show.
04:29Say hi to Sheffield.
04:31Hi Sheffield, it's Sid.
04:32I'm 28.
04:32I'm a personal trainer and I'm from Sheffield.
04:36Yeah.
04:37Love you guys.
04:38I just want to say a quick shout out to Bella, which is my super fan.
04:41Love you Bella.
04:42Where's Bella?
04:43There she is.
04:44Hello Bella.
04:45Welcome to the show.
04:47Now look, bodybuilding, Muay Thai, PT, all of that combined, you're definitely a jack of
04:52all trades.
04:52Are you ready?
04:54Of course I am and I've been born ready and I can't wait to showcase you guys what I
04:57can do.
04:57I wish you the very best of luck.
04:59A round of applause for Mel and Sid.
05:03So we have our male contenders on to the first event.
05:08The war.
05:10Climbing the wall for the male contenders in red.
05:14It's Mo.
05:17And in blue, it is Sid.
05:20And hunting them down will be Apollo and Viper.
05:30Hang on, that's Apollo, but it's certainly not Viper alongside him.
05:35Now what's injured legend up to?
05:42He's making his way over to the wall.
05:44Surely not.
05:46He can't do this.
05:48Well, this is unexpected.
05:51Legend clearly feels that he's as good with one arm as anybody else is with two.
05:58What are you doing?
06:00What are you doing?
06:01I'm doing the wall.
06:02Just leave me alone.
06:03No, you can't do the wall.
06:05You're injured.
06:06You've done your arm in.
06:07Get...
06:07Have you seen the size of it?
06:08I can catch him with no arms, Brad.
06:10I'm fine.
06:11You can't do the wall, Ledge.
06:12You can't.
06:12Brad, nature's finest climber, the mountain goat.
06:15How many arms do they have?
06:17Look.
06:18Fair point, though, to be fair, Ledge.
06:20Look, legend, I can't let you participate in the wall with an arm in a sling.
06:25It's impossible, my friend.
06:27Oh, come on.
06:28Don't worry about it, Ledge.
06:29Come on.
06:30Mark leads legend away, and now our resident snake makes his entrance ready to compete on the wall.
06:39Viper slivers, Viper strikes, and Viper plays the piano.
06:43It won't be Beethoven.
06:44It's probably Liszt.
06:49Contenders, ready!
06:54Gladiators, ready!
06:59Contenders, you will go on my first whistle.
07:03Gladiators, you will go on my second whistle.
07:07Three, two, one.
07:10Let the games begin, then.
07:12And Sid was straight into action, and he's got a really good climbing motion on the right-hand side in
07:17blue.
07:19Mo's not doing badly either.
07:20Look at Viper.
07:21This is a great climb by the Gladiator.
07:23Oh, and Mo's gone.
07:24Apollo got him really quickly, and now Sid is clinging on with Viper hanging off him.
07:31Viper looks as though he wants to put on a show tonight, but Sid will not budge.
07:36Super vice-like grip here from Sid.
07:39He's not going to shift.
07:41A long way to go still, though.
07:44And Viper finally gets the job done.
07:48Apollo brought down Mo, but Sid's strength here, incredible, withstanding the force of Viper's coils for an eternity.
07:57I don't know how long he was hanging on for, but we were waiting for the news to come on.
08:00Oh, man, you know, he felt good after my great strength held up, but not quite long enough.
08:06Mo, unfortunately, you didn't make out the wall.
08:08He's a formidable opponent, so the next event, I'll have him.
08:12Yeah.
08:13Apollo, you were showboating there, mate.
08:14Showboating.
08:15Yeah, I love a bit of that.
08:16You know, when you're the most handsome guy on TV, the six-foot-six reflection of perfection.
08:22Apollo!
08:23You ugly!
08:24Look at me!
08:3260-piece Viper!
08:49If you've been affected by actions on this programme, please write to the BBC.
08:56Well, I'm with you, Brad.
08:58After the first event, unlike Viper's chest, there are no points on show.
09:01It's nil-nil for Mo and Sid.
09:04Time for the female contenders now.
09:06Let's see who's brave enough to battle our gladiators.
09:11I'm Helena, I'm 32, and I'm from the West Midlands.
09:16I'm a cake maker.
09:18When I'm cooking, I am an absolute mess.
09:22Stuff's everywhere all the time.
09:24I'm five foot two.
09:26I'm blonde and I'm petite.
09:28People might think I'm just like a little cute baker.
09:31But actually, they see me, like, shift some tin in the gym, and they're like, oh, okay.
09:36She does that as well.
09:38Yeah.
09:38You should be rolling with me.
09:39You should be rolling with me.
09:41The gym is a massive part of my life, because I use it as a coping mechanism for any emotion
09:47that I feel.
09:47So, like, I lost my dad a couple of years ago.
09:49That experience has helped me to fight the fight, I guess.
09:54I hope I'm going to make him cry out.
10:02My name's Nikki.
10:03I'm 24.
10:04I'm an architectural assistant, and I work part-time at a bar.
10:09With my architectural assistant job, I get to design schools, which I'm really passionate about.
10:14Mainly focused on special needs schools.
10:16Both jobs provide a lot of, like, purpose in my life.
10:19I get to help out the community in my full-time job, and then with the pub, I get to
10:24help
10:24out all the locals as well.
10:27When I took up rugby, it became my community and my safe space.
10:31As a team, we all trust each other, and that's, I think, the best part of rugby.
10:35Now we can go for a drink.
10:37And the socialising.
10:40When I take on the gladiators, they'll really underestimate me for my size,
10:44because I'm five foot nothing.
10:46And I don't look like I'm strong, but I do pack a punch.
10:50I don't think they'll see it coming.
10:54Give a warm welcome to Helena and Nikki.
11:10Please introduce yourself to the arena.
11:12I'm Helena, I'm 32, I'm a cake maker, and I'm from the West Midlands, Ohio!
11:19A cake maker!
11:20Did you bring any with you?
11:22No, sorry.
11:23First rule about Fight Club, always bring cakes.
11:26You said that fitness is a coping mechanism.
11:30Explain that for us, please.
11:31Yeah, so, um, I've always been into fitness.
11:34Um, unfortunately, I lost my dad to motor neurone disease,
11:37so fitness just became even a bigger, more part of my life.
11:41So, yeah, doing it for dad.
11:42One million for dad!
11:43Here to make your dad proud!
11:45One million for dad!
11:46Yes!
11:47Good for you.
11:47Okay, now, the gladiators will see you as a cute cake maker, but will they underestimate you?
11:53Do not be deceived.
11:54I am a pocket rocket.
11:55I've got might, I've got power, I've got agility, and I've got speed, and I'm ready to go!
11:59Good for you.
12:01Press exactly what we want.
12:02Let's hear it for Helena!
12:06Nikki, welcome to the show.
12:08Say hi to Sheffield!
12:09Hi, I'm Nikki, I'm 24, I'm an architectural assistant from Ringwood!
12:14Yeah!
12:16Which events are you looking forward to?
12:18I think being a rugby player myself, something physical like Gauntlet, I'm really looking forward to.
12:23Why did you start playing rugby?
12:25So, I'm five foot nothing, and a couple of years back, a person told me I couldn't do it because
12:31I was short,
12:32and I'm here representing all the girls who have been told they can't do it.
12:36That's great stuff.
12:38That being said, which ones aren't you looking forward to?
12:41Probably the wall, because my wingspan isn't great, so don't expect much.
12:47Okay.
12:47Give it up for Helena and Nikki!
12:51Well, we have our female contenders, and now it's their turn to take on the first event.
12:56The ball.
12:59On the wall, in red, it's Helena!
13:03Trying to escape from Comet.
13:09With a grip like glue and legs like lightning, contenders will have to move fast to stay ahead of Comet.
13:17And in blue, it's Nikki, hoping to get away from Sabre.
13:28Sabre's hunting for a win here tonight.
13:31Her claws are sharpened, and she's keen for a catch.
13:37Contenders, you will go on my first whistle.
13:50Gladiators, you will go on my second whistle.
13:52Well, three, two, one!
13:56Well, we heard how worried Nikki was about this.
13:59She'll want to get some distance away from Sabre straight away.
14:03Sabre is on to her.
14:05Look at this.
14:06The gap is close, and on the other side, Comet isn't far behind Helena either.
14:10Comet's had one grab.
14:12Sabre has a grab and gets a hold of Nikki's foot, but she breaks free.
14:16And look at Helena go.
14:18She's got the top of the wall in sight.
14:19Oh, there's a slip there from Nikki.
14:21She's got tangled up with Sabre as Helena gets over the top for the maximum ten points.
14:29What a performance that was.
14:30On the other side, Nikki is finally broken away from the wall by Sabre.
14:36She nearly got there.
14:39Both contenders, brilliant, and bravo to Helena, with Nikki finally seized by Sabre.
14:47Oh, my God!
14:49Woo!
14:50How does it feel to be at the top?
14:52Oh, my God!
14:53On top of the world, baby!
14:55That's a massive ten points!
14:57Nikki, Sabre was after you.
14:59Could you feel her coming after you?
15:00I fell when she grabbed my leg.
15:02But you know what?
15:03The wall was always going to be a challenge for me, and I got further than I expected.
15:07Right.
15:08And, you know, Sabre, she put on a good show, so.
15:11Yeah.
15:12That is Nikki, Sabre, and Comet, everyone!
15:16Well in stuff.
15:17Well played.
15:19So after one event, Helena has the lead with ten points.
15:23Nikki yet to score.
15:24Hey, yes.
15:26Next up, this is one of my favourites.
15:28It's a fast and furious game of cat and mouse between our contenders and the gladiators.
15:32And that means one thing.
15:33Bad day to be a mouse.
15:35It's unleashed!
15:37Unleashed!
15:41Unleashed!
15:43Track loading!
15:55In position on the track for the male contenders.
15:59It's Mo!
16:05Contender, you will go on my whistle.
16:07And then the gladiator will be unleashed.
16:13Contender, ready!
16:19Like his daughter Milo, Mo is going to have to move super, super fast, because here comes
16:24Hammer, easily hurdling over the first obstacle in his way.
16:29Mo's doing well.
16:30Into the wall he goes, but there's a stumble.
16:32That might give Hammer the chance.
16:34He's going to catch him on the bend.
16:36It's all over for Mo.
16:45The construction foreman foiled by a pile of bricks.
16:49Oh, the irony.
16:53You know, I looked back once, and I saw a big tall figure, and I thought, oh, no.
16:59I mean, for such a big man, it's surprising you can move so quickly, honestly.
17:03What's your fastest time in 100 metres, do you know?
17:0511 seconds dead.
17:07Is it true?
17:08Yeah, yeah, that's true.
17:10Look, Brad, what time is it?
17:13It's Hammer time!
17:23Brilliant, there you are.
17:24Mo, and of course, Hammer!
17:29Next on the track with no idea which gladiator he is up against, it is Sid.
17:38Contender, you will go on my whistle, and then the gladiator will be unleashed.
17:46Contender, ready!
17:52I don't envy Sid here, because it's Nitro who's charging after him, the fastest gladiator.
17:59He can shift at 26.5 miles an hour, and he wants to shine on his unleashed debut.
18:05Sid's doing well.
18:06Can he make it to the steps before being tagged?
18:08He has got there one at a time, Sid, one at a time, and now he jumps for the flag
18:13and takes it.
18:14Nitro might have something to say about that, but for now, applause the quick contender.
18:21The refs are in consultation.
18:23Did Sid breach the rules?
18:27Turns to me, Mark, Sid, you didn't complete the challenge correctly.
18:35You were meant to go one step at a time.
18:38Unfortunately, you broke the rules.
18:40Therefore, you will be disqualified, and you will receive no points.
18:44No way!
18:48The crowd is booing in the arena.
18:50I don't know how to feel about that, Sid.
18:53Oh, man, what can I say?
18:54Well, that's not the only event.
18:55I've got more to go.
18:56I'll definitely get ten more points.
18:58Positive energy, despite the result.
19:03It's the way Mark tells them it really is.
19:05After two events, there's nothing between them.
19:07Literally, no points.
19:10Time now for the female contenders.
19:12Ready to run on the track.
19:14It's Helena!
19:19Contender, you will go on my whistle.
19:21And then the gladiator will be unleashed.
19:26Contender, ready!
19:34Helena shifts ten in the gym, she says.
19:36How will she shift around the track?
19:39Fury's shifting.
19:40She's nearly caught her by the first hurdle.
19:42She's going to get her by the bend.
19:44It's over.
19:45It did not last long at all.
19:50She's fast.
19:51She's Fury.
19:56Fury out of the tunnel at a dash.
19:59Helena's tag gone in a flash.
20:03A tough event for you, do you think?
20:05No, definitely.
20:05I think this is worse one out otherwise.
20:07Fury's brilliant at this.
20:08This is one of Fury's favourite events, isn't it?
20:11Yeah, this is a bit of me.
20:12And in rugby, you lock in, chase down and smash.
20:16But not in this instance, but so much fun.
20:18Put your hands together, Helena and Fury!
20:25The two run now, and taking on the track.
20:28It is Nikki!
20:33Contender, you will go on my whistle.
20:35And then the gladiator will be unleashed.
20:39Contender, ready!
20:49Now, how quick will Nikki be without a rugby ball in her hands?
20:53Here comes Fire, and we know as a former sprinter that she is rapid.
20:58Nikki's got a little bit of a gap.
21:01Fire waving to the arena.
21:03She's clearly confident that she will catch the contender.
21:06There was a small problem for Fire over those bricks there.
21:09Now she's got her on the steps just when Nikki had the end in sight.
21:18Look at Fire go, and putting on a show at the same time.
21:22A scorching capture.
21:25How did you find that?
21:27That was harder than expected.
21:31But I did put her up for a good chase, I think.
21:36I think you did.
21:37You got all the way to the stairs.
21:38I mean, that's no small feat.
21:39Fire.
21:40Barney, Barney, Barney.
21:42That wasn't a chase.
21:44That was a runway for me.
21:45Whoa!
21:48Nikki, sorry, babes, you got scorched today.
21:53That's Nikki and Fire!
22:00After two events, the scores are unchanged.
22:03Helena has ten points, and Nikki, nothing.
22:06Can she find her way onto the scoreboard in our next event?
22:10Crash course.
22:13A game of super speed and strength.
22:16Contenders in their atlaspheres must race two laps of the course.
22:20Ready to knock them off track are two gladiators, each guarding their own zone.
22:24The winner gets ten points.
22:26The remaining contender then has ten seconds to cross the line for five points,
22:30or they roll away with zero.
22:34Playing atlaspheres' crash course, it's our male contenders.
22:38In red, it's Moe!
22:44And in blue, it's Sid.
22:51And they'll be crashing against Giants!
22:56Come on!
22:59He might not like metal music, but Heavy Giant loves smashing contenders in big metal balls.
23:08And Phantom!
23:13Phantom rolls onto crash course for the first time,
23:16ready to haunt any contender who dares enter his zone.
23:24Atlaspheres, ready!
23:28Contenders, you will go on the green light.
23:39So it's Moe in the red, and it's Sid in the blue.
23:43Or it will be when they get going.
23:45Sid is on the move now.
23:47These atlaspheres are as heavy as car engines,
23:49and it looks as though somebody left the handbrake on there.
23:53Sid's now motoring pretty well, and he's round the first bend,
23:56where Giant lies in wait.
23:58And Giant is going to time his entry just right to crash into Sid.
24:03That gives Moe the opportunity to catch up.
24:06Can he steal through on the inside?
24:08Maybe not, because Giant is now barring his way.
24:12Sid's got a skid on,
24:14and Phantom now sets his sights upon him.
24:17Oh, that was a cruncher!
24:19It knocks Sid clean off his feet.
24:22He's going to have to get back to his senses and try and go again.
24:26Moe around the outside, taking the scenic route.
24:29Sid might be able to extend his lead
24:31as he crosses the line for the first time,
24:33and starts to think once more about Giant.
24:36And look at Moe go!
24:38He's closing the gap.
24:39He's got a real rhythm to that atmosphere now.
24:42And Sid's on easy street.
24:44He's jogging in the atmosphere.
24:46No hands off!
24:47It hasn't worked for him.
24:48He's stumbled,
24:49and Giant can stall his progress as a result of that.
24:53Does that give Moe the chance?
24:56No!
24:56Giant's in his way,
24:58and Sid is up and running again.
25:01Now, here comes Phantom!
25:04And once more,
25:05Sid is shaken, rattled, and rolled in that atmosphere.
25:09For all the blows that he's taken, though,
25:12he's been in the lead all the way,
25:14and he's going to cross the finish line for ten points.
25:18Brilliant effort from Sid.
25:19And now it's Moe against the clock.
25:22That's if he can get past Phantom.
25:24Mark Klanberg stays released,
25:26but he's out of time anyway.
25:28Moe finishes pointless.
25:32Well, Sid soaked up some brutal punishment
25:34from both Gladiators,
25:36but skidded and spud all the way
25:38to a maximum ten points.
25:40Now, for those people at home that don't know,
25:43those balls are really heavy.
25:44I mean, talk to us about how tough it is
25:46to move around in that.
25:47You know, he already weighs about 200 kilos
25:49on top of our body weight as well,
25:50so the initial push-up,
25:52yeah, he took about three, five seconds
25:53for both of us to actually get going.
25:55So, I mean, these guys, wow,
25:56they were much heavier than us,
25:57and the fact that they can move the ball much easier.
25:59Fairs.
26:00Well, look, at the end of the day,
26:01Sid, you go to the finish line,
26:02which means ten points to you, my friend!
26:05And 14 Moe points to you, Moe!
26:07From the little giant and Phantom.
26:09Uh, very difficult for the boys to...
26:11Oh, hang on.
26:12Here comes the referee.
26:13The rule is,
26:14a gladiator cannot pin
26:16a contender against the barrier
26:18for more than three seconds.
26:20Ah!
26:21We've reviewed the video.
26:23Right.
26:24Unfortunately, Phantom...
26:26Right.
26:27...pinned Moe
26:28for five seconds
26:30against the barrier,
26:31which is against the rules.
26:33Which means?
26:34Therefore,
26:35I am happy to award Moe
26:37five points.
26:38Oh!
26:39Let me just quickly ask him,
26:40Moe, are you happy with that?
26:41That's an extra point for you, mate.
26:43Um, yeah, I'm a stacker.
26:45Ha-ha-ha.
26:47After three events,
26:49both contenders pick up their first points.
26:51Sid has ten,
26:52Moe's on five.
26:54In the Atlas Fairs tonight,
26:56our female contenders,
26:58Helena in red.
26:59Oh!
27:02And...
27:03Nikki in blue!
27:06Oh!
27:07And ready to crash into them
27:10are...
27:11Fury!
27:14Let's go!
27:16And Cyclone!
27:19Oh!
27:20Let's do this!
27:21Come on, guys!
27:23Cyclone spins that atmosphere
27:25like a force of nature,
27:27but chilli sauce with lamb chops
27:29sounds mint.
27:32Atlas Fairs ready!
27:38Contenders,
27:39you will go on the green light.
27:47A huge effort
27:49to get those atmospheres rolling.
27:51And it's an even start
27:53down the ramp.
27:54Now Nikki in blue edges ahead,
27:57and she looks to have got
27:58the hang of that
27:58pretty quickly.
28:00Getting great support
28:02around the arena, too.
28:03Around the first bench
28:05she goes,
28:05and Fury
28:06starts to advance
28:08upon her.
28:09Boom!
28:10That's a bone shaker
28:11from the Gladiator.
28:13It gives Helena
28:14the chance
28:14to get around the outside,
28:16and she's quick enough
28:17to give Fury the slip.
28:19Now,
28:19what has Cyclone
28:20got in store?
28:21Fury has one last go
28:23back at Nikki,
28:24and here comes Cyclone!
28:26Oh,
28:27you could see
28:27the hesitation
28:28from Helena.
28:29She knew what was coming,
28:31and Cyclone
28:31didn't disappoint.
28:33It leaves Nikki free
28:34to get around
28:36in first place
28:37after the first lap.
28:39Cyclone ordered
28:40to leave Helena alone.
28:41The three seconds
28:42is up,
28:42but there's a gap
28:44between the contenders
28:45or a lot more
28:46than three seconds here
28:47as Nikki gets set
28:49for Fury.
28:50Helena's crossed
28:51the finish line now
28:52and begins
28:53the final lap,
28:54and look at this
28:55defending!
28:57But Nikki looks
28:58as though she's found
28:59a way past Fury,
29:00has she?
29:01She's got the
29:02inside track.
29:04Helena desperately
29:05trying to make up
29:06the ground
29:07as Nikki rolls
29:09straight into a Cyclone.
29:11Remember,
29:12she can only be held
29:12there for three seconds.
29:14Oh,
29:14that's a lovely manoeuvre
29:15from Helena
29:16to get past Fury.
29:18Nikki's having
29:18a few problems
29:19getting past Cyclone.
29:20This might be
29:21Helena's chance,
29:22or maybe not.
29:23Nikki is through,
29:24and it looks as though
29:25she can walk her way
29:27to the finish.
29:28Helena rocked
29:29to the floor.
29:30Nikki rolls over
29:32to ten points,
29:33and time is against
29:35Helena here.
29:37Five seconds to go.
29:38She's not going to
29:39make it past Cyclone,
29:41and is left stranded
29:42in the middle
29:43of the course
29:43with nothing.
29:49A game that put
29:50the crash into
29:51crash course.
29:52Helena only held
29:53the lead briefly,
29:54and it was Nikki
29:55who nimbly manoeuvred
29:57her way to the points.
29:59Let's go to you
30:00first of all, Nikki.
30:01Look, you took
30:01a massive hit.
30:03Does it hurt?
30:05Yeah, everything
30:06kind of just rattled
30:07inside of me,
30:07and I was like,
30:07I need to get up,
30:08I need to get up.
30:08I saw Helena
30:09kind of come around,
30:10and I was like,
30:11I need to catch up,
30:11I need to catch up.
30:12Well, what was
30:13interesting,
30:13you took the hit
30:14from Fury,
30:15which gave you
30:15the opportunity
30:16to go around
30:17the side,
30:17then all of a sudden,
30:18Wallop,
30:19Cyclone.
30:20Yes, just count me
30:21from every angle,
30:22honestly,
30:22that impact
30:23was like no other.
30:24Like, fair play,
30:25fair play to that.
30:26Brilliant performances.
30:27Over to the Glads,
30:28boss.
30:28Two absolute
30:29powerhouses
30:30of gladiators here.
30:31You guys are a
30:32dream team
30:32on Crash Course.
30:33I think these two
30:34are lucky that they
30:35got us in Crash Course
30:36and not Powerball
30:37or the Ring.
30:37Yeah.
30:38Because that would
30:38have been a bad day.
30:41After three events,
30:42Nikki's not just
30:43on the scoreboard,
30:44she's pulled level
30:45with Helena.
30:46Both contenders
30:46on ten points.
30:48It's now time
30:49for a classic.
30:50Is it?
30:51I love only
30:51fools and horses.
30:52No, I meant
30:53a classic event.
30:54Oh yeah,
30:54that makes more sense
30:55though.
30:55I mean,
30:55Del Boy on the old bar,
30:57that was brilliant stuff.
30:57Get ready for duel.
30:59Lovely,
30:59jabbly,
31:00runners.
31:05On the duel podium
31:06for the male contenders,
31:08it's Mo.
31:12And he is battling
31:14Bionic!
31:16Yes!
31:21Bionic is a well-oiled
31:22duel machine.
31:24He computes
31:24that his skills
31:25plus his strength
31:26equals a win.
31:31Bionic started
31:33contender.
31:33Contender ready!
31:37Gladiator ready!
31:43En garde!
31:51Three, two, one!
31:55Bionic started
31:56with a wink
31:57to his contender.
31:59But there's no
31:59well-functioning now.
32:00It's a furious
32:01exchange of pugil sticks.
32:03Mo is having to work
32:04hard to keep his balance
32:05and he's toppled
32:07on to Bionic's podium.
32:09It's all over.
32:10The whistle goes.
32:11Oh,
32:12one last jab
32:13there from Mo.
32:14He didn't mean that.
32:15He did not mean that.
32:40I didn't hear the whistles.
32:46I didn't hear the whistles.
32:46Fair enough.
32:47What have you got to say,
32:47Bionic?
32:48You can take it.
32:49No,
32:49of course I can take it,
32:50Brad.
32:51You know that.
32:52I mean,
32:52you did say
32:54at the top of the show
32:55that you were going to steamroll us.
32:57How do you expect
32:59to steamroll a six foot six machine?
33:01Now,
33:03well,
33:03I think we should go again then.
33:05What do you think,
33:05everyone?
33:06Should we go again?
33:07Should we go again?
33:09I'm game.
33:10I'm game.
33:11Is he game?
33:12Your steamroller
33:13doesn't have a reverse gear,
33:14mate.
33:16Thanks a lot.
33:16And of course,
33:17the brilliant
33:19Bionic!
33:20There you are.
33:22Next to duel,
33:23it is Sid.
33:26And he is up against
33:27Apollo.
33:31This may be only
33:32his second ever duel,
33:34but Apollo's record
33:35is played 1-1-1,
33:36so he really is perfect.
33:39At six foot six,
33:41Apollo's got the height and reach,
33:43but Sid,
33:43the bodybuilder,
33:44matches him in strength.
33:45Can he make it count on duel?
33:50Contender,
33:51ready!
33:56Gladiator,
33:57ready!
34:01En garde!
34:093, 2, 1,
34:123, 2, 1,
34:163, 2, 1,
34:35it looks like he's gone now,
34:36though.
34:37Just seven seconds remaining,
34:39he nearly got there.
34:46Apollo laid into Sid
34:48from every angle
34:49before the final blow
34:51forced the contender
34:52to sit there.
34:55Oh, I'm going for you, mate,
34:56but listen,
34:57that was an incredible shift
34:58you put in there.
34:59I mean,
34:59he's a very,
35:00very powerful guy.
35:01You only had six and a half seconds
35:03to stay up there,
35:04and you would have got
35:05the five points.
35:06I'm going to do Apollo.
35:08I tried my best.
35:10Apollo,
35:11I mean,
35:12brilliant.
35:13Look,
35:13how tough is this guy?
35:15Yeah!
35:15Took an absolute battering there.
35:18But look,
35:19roses are red,
35:20violets are blue.
35:21When you come against Apollo,
35:22it sucks to be you,
35:23my friend.
35:25That is Sid and Apollo!
35:30After four events,
35:32the scores are the same.
35:33Sid's in front with ten.
35:35Mo has five.
35:38Pugil sticks at the ready,
35:40playing duel
35:41for the female contenders.
35:43It's Helena!
35:46And she is up against
35:48Electro!
35:57This is Electro's dual debut.
36:00Expect high-voltage hits.
36:03Helena could be in
36:04for a serious shock.
36:08Contender,
36:10ready!
36:14Gladiator,
36:16ready!
36:19En garde!
36:28Three,
36:29two,
36:30one!
36:31Electro looks charged up
36:33for this,
36:33but that's a good jab
36:34for the face from Helena.
36:36She's five inches shorter
36:37than the Gladiator,
36:38which makes this really difficult.
36:40She nearly toppled forward
36:41onto Electro's podium there,
36:43keeping low,
36:45trying to absorb the hits
36:46and make sure she stays balanced.
36:49Electro now really goes to work,
36:51but the pugil stick there
36:52has touched Electro's podium,
36:54and time is called.
36:58Helena left a little dazed
37:00and confused at the end,
37:01which came because
37:02her pugil stick connected
37:03with Electro's podium.
37:05Time to recharge.
37:08How do you feel
37:09about the disqualification?
37:10Not the best,
37:11because I was quite happy
37:12to stay up there,
37:13even though my legs were,
37:14they're all over the place,
37:15but I don't think
37:16I would have gone.
37:18Electro,
37:19your first performance
37:20on a duel.
37:22I've got to say,
37:23pretty good.
37:24Obviously,
37:25girl's a baker,
37:26so I thought,
37:26right,
37:27pre-lit the oven
37:27with the stair
37:28before I started.
37:29Yeah.
37:29Then 180 degrees,
37:30bang,
37:30and it was a good fight, man.
37:32Helena and Electro!
37:36Okay,
37:36next up on duel,
37:38it's Nikki
37:40versus
37:42Comets.
37:54Contender ready!
38:00Gladiator ready!
38:05En garde!
38:14Three, two, one!
38:17There's an even greater
38:18height difference
38:19for this duel.
38:21Comet,
38:21eight inches taller
38:22than Nikki,
38:23who said at the start
38:25of the show,
38:25they won't see it coming,
38:27and she's managed
38:28to land two,
38:29maybe three blows
38:30on the Comet's helmet
38:31there.
38:32Struggling a bit here
38:33to stay upright.
38:34Don't step across
38:35to that podium,
38:36Nikki,
38:36whatever you do.
38:37Only ten seconds
38:38to go.
38:39Comet having to have
38:41a rethink here.
38:42Nikki tries to push
38:43Comet from the podium,
38:44and in doing so,
38:46she is disqualified.
38:49It's happened again,
38:50the third disqualification
38:52of the night
38:52on duel.
38:53Nikki lost her balance,
38:55and the game.
38:57How do you feel?
38:59Gutted,
39:00but you know what?
39:01It's the way it is.
39:02Comet,
39:03what do you think
39:03of Nikki?
39:04We have a very big
39:05height difference
39:06going on,
39:07and she packed a punch,
39:09I can't lie.
39:10That's Nikki
39:11and Comet!
39:14After four events,
39:15it's still neck and neck.
39:17Helena and Nikki,
39:18both on ten points.
39:20Next up,
39:21one contender
39:22is going to be taking
39:23on five gladiators.
39:24Hey,
39:24how would you deal
39:25with the gauntlet?
39:25Barnes,
39:26watch this.
39:27It's simple, mate.
39:27I'd dodge left,
39:28I'd swerve right,
39:30sidestep once,
39:31I'd sidestep twice,
39:32and then I'd check myself
39:33into hospital.
39:36Here's gauntlet!
39:38Gauntlet.
39:40Daring to take on
39:41the gauntlet,
39:42it's Mo!
39:46And he will be
39:47facing these five.
39:50Hammer,
39:51Steel,
39:52Bionic,
39:53Phantom,
39:53and giant!
39:55Have you ever seen
39:57such a mountain
39:58of muscle?
39:59Good luck,
39:59contenders.
40:00This might hurt.
40:04With his strength
40:05and size,
40:06Steel dominates
40:07the gauntlet,
40:08crushing any contender
40:09who dares to run at him.
40:16Contender,
40:18ready!
40:24That is a lie.
40:27You are not ready.
40:30I have never seen
40:31someone less ready.
40:33He can't even spell ready.
40:36Legend,
40:36if you want to be a ref,
40:38get in the position.
40:40Am I,
40:41I'm second in command.
40:42Perfect!
40:42Legend just can't keep
40:45away from the spotlight,
40:46even when injured.
40:48He's meant to be
40:48recovering,
40:49not refereeing.
40:51Contender,
40:52ready!
40:57Gladiators,
40:58ready!
41:01Three,
41:03two,
41:04one!
41:05Remember Mo's promise,
41:07when I meet the Gladiators,
41:08they're gonna get
41:09steamrolled.
41:10And he's looking good
41:11for those words.
41:12Progress just held up
41:13a little bit there
41:14by Steel,
41:15but Mo is battling
41:17through towards
41:17the end zone here.
41:19Only giant in his way,
41:21but not for long.
41:23It's a maximum
41:24for Mo.
41:30Well,
41:30this is no slow-mo.
41:32The contender
41:33galloped through the gauntlet
41:34to claim 10 points.
41:38How was that for you?
41:39I mean,
41:39you were quick.
41:40It was brilliant,
41:41physical,
41:42and just my attributes.
41:44Bionic.
41:45Our standards
41:46are a lot higher
41:47than what we have
41:48just shown right there.
41:49So I'm gonna go back
41:50to my spot
41:50and wait for the next.
41:52Ooh!
41:53Fighting words from Bionic.
41:55What a mo.
41:58Next to run the gauntlet,
42:00it's Sid!
42:07Contender,
42:08ready!
42:12Gladiators,
42:14ready!
42:16Three,
42:17two,
42:18one!
42:20And Sheffield,
42:21Sid go all the way
42:22as well.
42:22He's passed Hammer
42:24despite taking
42:24a hammer blow.
42:26Steele doesn't last
42:27long in his way.
42:28And now for a battering
42:30from Bionic.
42:32Zone four is beckoning
42:33and here he goes,
42:34faced by Phantom.
42:36Only three seconds to go.
42:38This is really difficult
42:39for Sid.
42:39He's gonna run out of time.
42:45Wow,
42:46that was a gruelling gauntlet.
42:48The Gladiators
42:49absolutely brought their A-game.
42:53Is your head loose at all?
42:55She nearly took your head off there.
42:57So I'm gonna bring in the referee,
42:58Mr. Mark Clattenburg.
43:00Phantom had the shield.
43:01I asked him to release,
43:02but it's still within the rules,
43:04so therefore,
43:04I'm gonna allow what Phantom did.
43:06So therefore...
43:07Oh,
43:07all right,
43:08okay,
43:09if you're gonna allow it,
43:09what's the point
43:10of coming over
43:11and allowing it?
43:11There's no point
43:12in him being a contender
43:14because he's useless.
43:18Well done,
43:19Sid.
43:19Fantastic.
43:20Six points,
43:20everybody.
43:24After five events,
43:26Mo closes the gap.
43:27It's Sid 16,
43:28Mo 15,
43:29with only the Eliminator to come.
43:34Taking on the gauntlet
43:36for the female contenders.
43:37It's Helena.
43:41And she's up against
43:43the power of Athena,
43:45Dynamite,
43:46Sabre,
43:46Electro
43:47and Cyclone.
43:50Strength,
43:50skill
43:51and sass.
43:52These five gladiators
43:53have it all.
43:54And when it comes to the gauntlet,
43:56you can act superb.
43:58Contenders will need
43:58to be super special.
44:01Getting past Dynamite
44:03on gauntlet
44:03is like trying to sneak
44:05the last bite
44:05of her chocolate fudge
44:07brownie ice cream.
44:08Don't even try.
44:14Athena is the first line
44:15of defence here
44:16for our gladiators
44:17and sets the bar
44:18high.
44:19She's one of the most
44:20experienced in this event.
44:28Contender,
44:29ready!
44:35Gladiators,
44:36ready!
44:41Three,
44:42two,
44:43one!
44:45Helena,
44:45the baker
44:46enters the pressure cooker
44:47of the gauntlet.
44:49She got past Athena
44:50nicely,
44:51but Dynamite
44:52has stopped her
44:53in her tracks
44:53and has turned up
44:54the heat.
44:55Now for Sabre.
44:56Mark Klanberg
44:57keeping a keen eye.
44:59Orders Sabre
45:00to release
45:00and it's into zone four
45:02but only four seconds
45:03to go.
45:04Make that one!
45:05It ends with Electro.
45:07Helena's been cooked.
45:10The gladiators are really up
45:12for gauntlet tonight.
45:13Helena halted
45:15in every zone.
45:17What a performance
45:18that was!
45:19Oh, thanks,
45:19Connie.
45:20Yeah,
45:20it felt, um,
45:21brutal.
45:22Oh, hang on.
45:23I've just been told
45:23we've got a VAR
45:24to review.
45:25Let's play it
45:26and take a look.
45:28Oh.
45:33I thought there were
45:34more points
45:35coming your way.
45:37What did you look to me?
45:38Oh, brutal.
45:40Well, look,
45:40unfortunately,
45:41you didn't make
45:41the full ten points
45:42but you got six.
45:47Running the gauntlet now.
45:48It's Nikki.
45:56Contender.
45:57Ready!
46:02Gladiators.
46:03Ready!
46:06Three,
46:07two,
46:09one.
46:10Nikki's only five foot tall
46:12but that low center
46:13of gravity
46:13allied to her strength
46:14is serving her well here.
46:16She's into Sabre
46:17in zone three
46:18and straightaway
46:19passed her
46:20to take on Electro
46:21and she's nearly there.
46:23Cyclone now gets
46:24the grip
46:24for the contender
46:25and both tumble
46:27to the floor
46:27to draw Mark
46:29Klanberg's whistle.
46:30Cyclone,
46:31you used her arm
46:31to keep it down.
46:33Therefore,
46:34I'm disqualifying
46:36you from the game
46:36and the contender
46:37can finish it.
46:39What a bonus
46:40for Nikki.
46:41What bravery
46:42from Mark
46:43from behind
46:43the barrier.
46:47Nikki had
46:48nowhere to go
46:49trapped under
46:50Cyclone's arm
46:51resulting in a red card
46:53from Mr. Klanberg.
46:55You've made it.
46:56How'd you feel?
46:56I feel amazing!
46:58Oh my God!
46:59Yes!
46:59Absolutely brilliant!
47:02Oh, you better speak.
47:04I'm human.
47:05Oh, are you?
47:06I'm human.
47:08I came here
47:09and we've trained
47:11all year
47:11to fight
47:13and you bring us
47:14to two smallest people
47:15I've ever seen
47:16in my life.
47:17We came here
47:18for a gauntlet.
47:19What was that?
47:21What else?
47:22You say that
47:23but Nikki Bia!
47:25Nikki Bia!
47:27That's what it's all about!
47:29Come on!
47:32After five events,
47:34Helena finishes on 16
47:35but Nikki leads
47:37with 20
47:37as we head
47:38for the grand finale.
47:40Wow!
47:41What a crowd!
47:43What a crowd!
47:43OK!
47:44It all comes down
47:45to this!
47:46There's just one
47:46final test
47:47for the contenders
47:48with a place
47:49in a quarterfinals
47:51at stake.
47:52Here we go,
47:52Sheffield!
47:53It's
47:54the Eliminator!
47:58The Eliminator!
48:00And first
48:01to take on
48:02the Eliminator
48:02are the men.
48:04Sid is one point
48:05ahead of Moe
48:06which means
48:06he'll start
48:07with just half
48:08a second's
48:09worth of advantage.
48:12Contenders!
48:13Ready!
48:15Sid,
48:16you will go
48:17on my first whistle.
48:18Moe,
48:19you will go
48:19on my second whistle.
48:21Three,
48:22two,
48:23one!
48:24Sid and Moe
48:26ready to go.
48:27Oh,
48:28and Sid
48:28seemed to be
48:28distracted
48:29by that second whistle
48:30and that allows
48:31Moe
48:31just to edge
48:32in front.
48:33He then
48:34stumbles
48:34before the rope.
48:35This could be
48:36an epic.
48:37We've got a great
48:38race on already here.
48:40Sid's lost
48:40the shoe
48:41and he's got
48:42tangled up
48:42with the rope.
48:43A great leap
48:44onto the ladder
48:45though means
48:45he does gain
48:46back some ground
48:47on Moe
48:48who unclips
48:49the trapeze
48:49and swings over
48:50towards the cargo net.
48:52I don't think
48:52there's going to be
48:53anything in this
48:54all the way
48:55through to the finish.
48:56Up goes Sid
48:57again
48:58attacking the next
48:59obstacle in his way
49:00with real enthusiasm.
49:02He leaps
49:02onto the net.
49:04Moe's finding
49:05the climb
49:05a little bit
49:06of a struggle
49:06trying to sort
49:07his feet out there.
49:08Perhaps it will help
49:09Sid that he's only
49:10got one shoe on.
49:11He might get
49:12just a bit more
49:13grip with the sock
49:14but it's Big Moe
49:16who's taking a grip
49:17on this eliminator.
49:19Here he goes
49:19onto the zip wire.
49:20A sharp intake
49:22of breath
49:22before flying
49:23through the air.
49:24Oh,
49:24that was graceful
49:25and he bounces
49:27down towards
49:28the beam
49:28with just a little
49:30bit of daylight
49:30now between himself
49:31and Sid.
49:33That won't help
49:33his cause though.
49:35A stumble
49:35on the beam
49:36and here comes Sid.
49:37They're just about
49:38level again.
49:39Sid might struggle
49:40here with only
49:41one shoe on.
49:43Moe's nearly across.
49:44Make sure he touches
49:45the red zone
49:46at the end.
49:47A slip from Sid.
49:48I thought that
49:49might be a factor.
49:50Moe takes on
49:51the travelator
49:52but he went
49:52too quickly
49:53and it's back
49:55down to the bottom
49:55to start again.
49:57More concentration
49:59from Moe.
50:00This time
50:00he nearly makes it
50:01to the top.
50:02He's down once more
50:04and this could give
50:06Sid just the chance
50:07he needs.
50:08He's calling
50:09for the return
50:09of his shoe
50:10before taking
50:11on the travelator.
50:13No,
50:13he's changed his mind.
50:15He's giving it a go.
50:16Oh,
50:16that's a mighty topple.
50:19Sid fell on his lid
50:20as Moe
50:22has another go.
50:23Third time's a charm
50:24for Moe.
50:25He's there
50:26and he holds himself
50:28up to the top
50:29before swinging
50:30through to the finish.
50:32Oh,
50:33that was hard
50:34for Moe
50:34but he got
50:35the job done.
50:36Now Sid
50:37wriggles his foot
50:38back into his shoe.
50:40How quickly
50:40can he complete
50:41the course?
50:42Oh,
50:42he's bundled
50:43his way up
50:44quite brilliantly
50:45there
50:45and he jumps
50:47through
50:47as our gallant
50:48runner-up.
50:51The second whistle
50:52did for Sid
50:53a slight hesitation
50:54to allow Moe
50:55to take the lead
50:56and he just managed
50:57to keep it
50:58in an epic
50:59eliminator.
51:01You heard Moe's whistle.
51:03It looked like
51:03you stopped there.
51:04What happened?
51:05I thought I started
51:06too early
51:06so I thought I was cheating
51:07so I looked back
51:08and then I was like,
51:09oh,
51:09I've got another
51:10competitor next to me.
51:11Yeah.
51:12That's my shoe
51:13after the second thing.
51:15I know,
51:15that just got to me
51:16but you know what?
51:17Moe's just
51:18hella quick
51:19for you.
51:20The better man won.
51:21Okay.
51:24Moe,
51:24you are in
51:25the quarterfinals!
51:29What do you want to say?
51:30I'm really,
51:31really happy.
51:32He was a tough opponent
51:33but,
51:34you know,
51:34I'll be friends
51:35with Sid for life.
51:36You know,
51:36he's a great guy.
51:37Moe and Sid
51:38go!
51:39And see your family.
51:44The men's
51:45quarterfinal
51:46line-up
51:46is complete.
51:48Battling it out
51:49will be
51:49Finn,
51:50Mark,
51:51Tyler,
51:52Hindley
51:53and Moe.
51:54The last remaining spot
51:56is filled by one
51:56of the fastest
51:57runners-up
51:58from the heats.
51:59Winning their place
51:59in the quarterfinals,
52:01it's Sean!
52:04Time now
52:05for our female contenders.
52:07Nikki is four points
52:08ahead of Helena
52:08and with each point
52:09worth half a second,
52:11she's earned
52:11a two-second lead.
52:14Contenders
52:15ready!
52:18Nikki,
52:19you will go
52:20on my first whistle.
52:22Helena,
52:22you will go
52:22on my second whistle.
52:25Three,
52:25two,
52:26one!
52:28Here goes Nikki
52:29with the first hurdle
52:30and that's an awkward
52:32landing,
52:32that might have jarred,
52:33it might just give Helena
52:34the chance to close
52:36that two-second gap
52:37as well.
52:38The second hurdle
52:38was a little bit awkward
52:39for Nikki too
52:41and look at that,
52:42there's now nothing
52:43between them
52:44as they take on the rope.
52:45It's a real struggle,
52:47Nikki can't get her feet
52:48on the platform.
52:50Helena takes over
52:51in the lead.
52:52Nikki really struggling
52:54as Helena gets
52:55onto the overhead ladders,
52:56taking the one
52:57rug at a time.
52:59Finally,
53:00Nikki is up there
53:01and jumps
53:02for the first rug
53:03at the ladder
53:03but she's gone,
53:04she missed it!
53:05She looks shocked
53:06as she crashes
53:07to the floor.
53:08Well,
53:09it's wide open now
53:10for Helena
53:11to go through
53:11and win this eliminator.
53:14Nikki takes on
53:15the rope once more.
53:17A little better
53:18this time
53:18but look at the lead
53:19that Helena has.
53:21All she has to do
53:23is take it slow
53:24and steady,
53:25make sure she doesn't
53:26make any mistakes
53:27and she will win
53:28through to the quarterfinals.
53:31Nikki is up there.
53:33Another jump
53:33and another fall!
53:34Oh no!
53:36I don't know how
53:37she's managing
53:38to smile through this.
53:40A huge gasp
53:41around the arena.
53:43Helena knows
53:44what's going on.
53:45A mistake-free finish
53:47and she gets there.
53:49She's down the zip wire,
53:51already looking
53:52across at the beam.
53:53Only the beam
53:55and the travelator
53:56stand between
53:57Helena and victory.
53:59All Nikki can do
54:01is keep going
54:02but she must be
54:03feeling this.
54:04She will be
54:05so, so tired.
54:07Helena taking the beam
54:08nice and steady.
54:11It's much more tricky
54:12this series.
54:13You must make contact
54:14with the red zone
54:15in the middle.
54:16Safety negotiated
54:17by Helena.
54:18There's the red zone
54:19at the end.
54:19Now for the travelator.
54:22She takes a moment
54:22to look around
54:23to gather her thoughts
54:25and maybe just
54:26to savour this
54:27with Nikki stuck
54:29way back
54:30on the cargo net.
54:32The support
54:33for both contenders
54:35right around the arena
54:36is absolutely
54:37magnificent.
54:39Here goes Helena.
54:41First run
54:42of the travelator
54:43and she's going
54:44to run out of steam
54:45here.
54:46Down she goes.
54:47She's still got time
54:48for at least one more
54:49attempt before Nikki
54:51arrives on the scene
54:52and here she comes.
54:54There is still
54:55a little bit of hope
54:56left for Nikki.
54:57Look at Helena.
54:58She looks absolutely
54:59exhausted
55:00and all of a sudden
55:01there's a confident
55:03stride about Nikki
55:04in blue.
55:06Helena's got to do
55:07it this time.
55:08She'll be able to sense
55:09that Nikki is now
55:10close behind her
55:11and she might be
55:12even closer in a moment.
55:14Oh, Nikki's fallen too.
55:16I've never seen
55:17an eliminator like this.
55:18Can Nikki achieve
55:19the impossible
55:20comeback?
55:21No, she can't.
55:22Yet another ball
55:24means she has to
55:25start again
55:25and they go together.
55:28Who's got it
55:29left in them?
55:30There's a powerful
55:31run here from Helena
55:32and she holds on.
55:35Finally,
55:36she gets it won.
55:39Now attention
55:40turns back to Nikki
55:41and nothing will
55:43stop her from
55:43completing this course.
55:45it's been so,
55:47so hard for her
55:48but she's been
55:49so, so determined
55:51to finish.
55:55What an eliminator
55:57that was.
55:58Nikki fell not once
56:00but twice
56:00before making
56:01a remarkable comeback
56:03for an epic showdown
56:04on the Travelator.
56:09have you got anything
56:10left to chat
56:11with me now
56:12after that?
56:13Honestly,
56:13you know what?
56:14Yeah.
56:14The first time
56:16I fell
56:17monkey bars
56:19they actually
56:20had the ladder
56:21ready.
56:22I don't actually
56:23know why
56:23I decided to
56:24clear up the ropes.
56:26But you know
56:26what?
56:27It was a really
56:28good race.
56:29Kudos to H.
56:31She genuinely
56:32gave her her all
56:33and I did
56:35catch up with her.
56:36Yeah.
56:36Despite falling.
56:39You should really
56:40be proud of yourself.
