00:06The Atlas flame burns, and the games have begun.
00:10Gladiator Arena is electrified tonight.
00:13The crowd is ready to go.
00:15Also in the crowd, some of our other contenders.
00:18And there is a look at Dr. Ayanna Proctor.
00:21She's already punched her ticket to the semis
00:23and is joined by Janelle Schaefer,
00:25who had the come-from-behind win
00:27to beat Sierra Dawn Angler.
00:28Evan Barr joins Tavares Chambliss in the men's semifinals
00:32and will be closely studying his competition tonight.
00:35Which man and which woman will be joining them in the semifinals?
00:38Our gladiators will have something to say about that.
00:43These people are fired up. They're ready for action.
00:46Give it up for your master of ceremonies, the men!
00:55Come on! Let's go!
01:00Gladiator Arena!
01:02This is American Gladiators!
01:06Let's kick off the men's team.
01:09Let's meet Jacquez and Michael.
01:24Welcome to Gladiator Arena.
01:26Tell us a little bit about yourself, Jacquez.
01:28I'm Jacquez Jones. I'm from Jacksonville, Florida.
01:31And I'm a firefighter paramedic.
01:34Oh, we got a hero in the house!
01:37Fire, fire, man! You run towards danger.
01:40But what happens when a gladiator runs straight at you?
01:43Uh, the gladiators should be shaking in their boots
01:45because, um, I'm gonna give them a hard time.
01:48All right.
01:49He's joking.
01:51Are you kidding me? Him?!
01:54Southeast versus Southwest.
01:56My name's Michael Moralia. I'm 33 years old.
01:59And check this.
02:00I am from the City of Sin, Las Vegas, y'all.
02:04So you're used to the bright lights.
02:06So you're used to stuff like American Gladiators, right?
02:08What the arena does not have is that party aspect,
02:11and I'm gonna bring you that party aspect.
02:12I like it!
02:13And, Michael, are you scared of any of the gladiators?
02:16Honestly, I'm gonna say this one thing for the gladiators.
02:21And it's I'm coming for your job.
02:24Ooh!
02:27Michael, on fire.
02:29It's time to see what you're made of.
02:30Jacquez, good luck.
02:32Michael, good luck.
02:33Go shoot it up, guys!
02:35Oh, this is gonna be good, baby!
02:38You guys hear that?
02:39Do you guys hear that back there?
02:41Do you hear them?
02:42They're already talking smack to you.
02:44They're ready.
02:45They're not afraid of you.
02:46This is your house, gladiators.
02:49Your house.
02:50And they're stepping in there.
02:51Listen to them.
02:52Listen to them up there.
02:54We got business to take care of.
02:56Listen.
02:56Come on, baby. Let's go.
02:57Let's go, man.
02:58Me, Dominique, on three.
02:59One, two, three.
03:00Dominique!
03:00Let's get it!
03:01I'm the one in the arena.
03:04I'm the one in the arena.
03:10Are you guys ready to get these gladiator games going?
03:15As always, I'm joined by my partner in Carnage, Roxy Diaz.
03:20Are you guys pumped up or what?
03:22Roxy, tell us about our first event, The Wall.
03:26Thanks, Miz.
03:27Behold the Wall.
03:30A 60-second vertical pursuit of pure panic.
03:35Contenders climb for their lives while a gladiator released six seconds later is hot on their heels.
03:42First, contender to the top earns 10 points.
03:45Five points for second place.
03:47Get caught by a gladiator, and it's a fast drop back to reality.
03:52Now for the scoring breakdown, let's toss it over to Chris Rose at the desk.
03:57Rosie!
04:00All right, thanks, Roxy.
04:02Three events, one eliminator.
04:04A total of 30 points up for grabs tonight.
04:0610 points each for The Wall, The Gauntlet, and in our new big event, The Edge.
04:13Come eliminator time, the leading contender will earn a half-second advantage for every point they're ahead.
04:18And in an event like The Eliminator, that can make all the difference.
04:22At the end of the night, one man and one woman will emerge as victors and move on to the
04:27semifinals.
04:30With 10 points up for grabs in this first event, let's check the tail of the tape to see who's
04:36got the upper hand.
04:37One puts out fires in Florida, and the other lights up the Vegas Strip.
04:41At 5'11", and a lean 195 pounds, Jaquez is hoping the gladiators don't extinguish his chances at 100K.
04:49And Michael's 5'9", 200 pounds, a bonafide party boy.
04:53But I bet the house that he's never met a bouncer like our gladiators.
04:59Las Vegas, Nevada, the city of sin.
05:01Honestly, everything you see in the movies is true.
05:04High energy, lights in your face, and I'm open to almost everything.
05:09Full marathon, brand new cowboy boots, let's break these bad boys in.
05:14I'm a YouTuber, also considering myself an artist because the way I create fitness is an art form.
05:19I build the most extreme stunts and fitness events that you can absolutely fathom.
05:25I plan on being one of the largest creators on YouTube, and that's why I'm here.
05:30I want to make it to the finals, I want to win this thing, and that's what's going to go
05:34viral in itself.
05:39Ten possible points, ready for the taking on the wall.
05:42But who are the gladiators hell bent on yanking our contenders down?
05:46Ready to chase down Michael at the speed of light.
05:49It's Neon!
05:50This is Neon's first time on the wall.
05:54And he's looking to use all of his 6'2 frame to his advantage.
05:59Neon Nation came out strong tonight!
06:04Well, if Neon brings the charm, this one brings the harm.
06:07Being let loose on Jaquez, it's mayhem!
06:12Mayhem's used to making touchdowns in college, but today he's looking for a tear down on the wall.
06:19It's over. It's over.
06:22This is my wall.
06:23All right, Thomas, let's get our wall on!
06:29On my first whistle, contenders will go!
06:33Don't slip. Don't slip.
06:36Tell me right now, don't slip her up.
06:38Six seconds later, on my second whistle, gladiators will go!
06:45Contenders, ready!
06:49Gladiators, ready!
06:50Oh, yeah!
06:53Three, two, one!
06:56We are underway on the wall.
06:59Jaquez in the red on the left.
07:00Michael in the blue on the right.
07:02Nice start by both contenders.
07:04Release the hounds!
07:06Mayhem and Neon are on their way.
07:09Man, right on the heels of the firefighter!
07:11He's about to grab hold of him!
07:13Jaquez is saying, hey, get off my drawers, man!
07:15You're stretching my spandex!
07:17Mayhem, stop doing that to me!
07:19Neon, well behind!
07:21Vegas party boy, Michael, who's nearly to the top!
07:25In just over 30 seconds, Michael has the 10 points and he smashes the button!
07:30In the meantime, the firefighters gonna have to call in for backup!
07:35Jaquez is down for the count!
07:37And gets zero points!
07:39Yeah!
07:40Yeah, welcome to the show, boy!
07:43Welcome to the show, boy!
07:44It's over!
07:45It was over before it even started!
07:49Michael!
07:50When the gladiator started coming up after you?
07:53A little nervous?
07:54Tunnel vision, didn't even see him.
07:56What's his name, Blaze?
07:56Oh!
07:57Oh!
07:58Oh!
07:58Oh!
07:59Did he just...
08:01Dang!
08:02Neon!
08:03Do you hear that, Neon?
08:05He's talking smack!
08:06We're gonna get it back.
08:08We're gonna get it back.
08:09All right, well, 10 points for you.
08:11Congratulations.
08:12Let's go down to Roxy.
08:15All right, we're here with Jaquez.
08:16You just took a giant fall off the wall.
08:21I mean, you're used to being able to carry several bodies
08:25out of a burning building.
08:27Was the wall more difficult than that?
08:29No, the wall wasn't more difficult than that.
08:31I just couldn't get a chance to get my bearings.
08:33But you just gotta know how to adapt and adjust,
08:35and just move forward.
08:36Forget about it.
08:37Well, at the end of the day,
08:38you're still a hometown hero for a lot of us,
08:40so thank you for everything that you do.
08:41Give it up one more time for Jaquez!
08:45All right, Mayhem.
08:46Hey, and listen,
08:48he talking about perseverance and all that.
08:49I respect it, but listen,
08:51you a lot smaller than me.
08:53You supposed to get up that wall a lot faster than me.
08:55All right?
08:56There's a lot of trash talking right now.
09:00Hey, Mayhem came to play.
09:02Give it up one more time for Jaquez,
09:05Michael, Neon, and Mayhem!
09:08The contenders have been talking smack to the gladiators,
09:11and the gladiators are all fired up.
09:14After the wall,
09:15Michael leading Jaquez 10-0.
09:18That amounts to a five-second head start for Michael
09:21going into the eliminator,
09:22but Jaquez, don't panic.
09:24Still a couple of events remaining before the eliminator.
09:29And here comes tonight's female contenders,
09:32entering gladiator arena.
09:35In the red, Bailey is a grown-up goth girl,
09:38gym owner, wife, and mother of a young son.
09:42And in the blue,
09:45Charisma is a New York City bartender,
09:47and dancing is her cardio.
09:52My name is Charisma Lockhart.
09:54I just turned 30 years old.
09:55So I used to be a bartender at Coyote Ugly in New York City.
09:58It was a mix of the two things I loved to do.
10:00I loved to bartend and interact with the crowd,
10:02and I got to dance at the same time.
10:04Handstands, headstands, some splits.
10:06The other activities that I do to keep me fit,
10:08I do tennis, pole fitness, gymnastics, going to the gym.
10:12With the 100K, I definitely want to expedite my nonprofit
10:14to help less fortunate women.
10:16These gladiators are going to look at me
10:18and see this little tiny dancer,
10:19but I'm going to kill it
10:20and do cartwheels and pirouettes all around them.
10:23All right!
10:25Our female contenders are ready to race.
10:27Let's find out which gladiators are giving them chase.
10:31Coming after Bailey,
10:32she's got a pole you can't deny,
10:34and she'll squash you if you try.
10:37It's Crush.
10:38This is the first time ever on the wall for Crush.
10:40Let's see if her CrossFit background has prepared her.
10:44Come on, come on!
10:45Yeah!
10:46And charging after Charisma,
10:48she's got the urge to surge.
10:51It's voltage!
10:53On the rugby field,
10:55she's used to chasing down her opponent.
10:57On the wall, she'll do the same thing,
10:59only this time vertically.
11:02Let's go!
11:03All right.
11:04Let's toss it over to our head referee,
11:06Thomas Taylor, to get this show going.
11:09Yeah!
11:11Contenders ready!
11:13You better go back!
11:14You better go back!
11:15Come on!
11:15Let's go!
11:16Let's go!
11:16Come on!
11:17Come on!
11:18Getting a good look at Charisma's aunt and mom Kimberly.
11:21Bailey's husband Brian is here, along with her son Enzo.
11:25Gladiators ready!
11:27Yeah!
11:29Let's go!
11:31Let's go!
11:32Let's go!
11:55She's got her!
11:55Trying to shake loose!
11:56Charisma, two-thirds of the way up the wall!
11:59Oh!
12:00And Voltage almost loses her grip but recovers.
12:03She's gonna have to make a move here.
12:05She grabs Charisma's aunt.
12:06Oh!
12:07Oh!
12:08She can't hold on!
12:09And now Bailey is off the wall!
12:11Oh!
12:12Charisma gets to the top!
12:14Hits the button!
12:15And collects ten points!
12:22Whoa!
12:23Whoa!
12:23Whoa!
12:29How do you feel?
12:30Exhilarated.
12:31Exhilarated?
12:32Voltage was coming at you when you heard that whistle.
12:34What was that like?
12:35I heard her.
12:36I felt her.
12:37I smelt her.
12:39But she was not ready for me like I told you.
12:41You know what I'm saying?
12:42Let's take it down to Roxy.
12:45Bailey, oh my goodness.
12:47First of all, great attempt at the wall.
12:50You gave it a good head start.
12:52It seemed like you had a great grip.
12:53But what happened?
12:54Well, she just caught up to me and then latched on.
12:57And that's a lot of girl to be latched off of, so.
13:00Well, I have to say, it was quite impressive.
13:03But at one point, you literally were dangling off of her waist.
13:07You gotta admit, she's a pretty tough cookie to be able to handle all your weight.
13:11Yeah, for sure.
13:12Strong women appreciate strong women.
13:14So, like, I like a good fight.
13:15That is such a great attitude to have.
13:17Everybody give it up for Bailey, Charisma, Crush, and Voltage.
13:22So, after the wall, Charisma leads Bailey 10-0.
13:26That would equate to a five-second head start for Charisma in the Eliminator.
13:30But, of course, that could all change with two events still to go.
13:34Wow, this crowd is hyped up and ready for our second event.
13:38Roxy, tell us about Gauntlet.
13:41Contenders have 30 seconds to charge through a narrow half-height pack to the gills with four gladiators.
13:48They'll earn two points per zone pass and ten if they reach the end.
13:53It's a high-impact collision course where every inch counts.
13:59Up next, Michael.
14:01And something tells me that our Vegas wild child has never crashed a party quite like the Gauntlet.
14:07Returning for this event are Neon and Mayhem.
14:14And joining them, he's single-handedly putting the demolition industry out of business.
14:21The Bull.
14:22He's 285 pounds and used to wrestling in a ring.
14:25With the Gauntlet, he's got a lot less space to defend.
14:28That's good for the Bull, but very bad for Michael.
14:32You're in the bullseye, baby!
14:34Yeah!
14:35And he's got boy-band looks and a fierce right hook.
14:41Ace!
14:41This former soccer player is ready to kick some butt in the Gauntlet.
14:46Oh, this crowd is in a frenzy.
14:49Ready for round two of this trash-talking party boy versus the gladiators.
14:54Contender, ready!
14:57Gladiators, ready!
15:03Three, two, one!
15:07Michael weighing in at over 200 pounds.
15:09Gets stuck by Ace, but still picks up two points.
15:13He has got to let him go at some point.
15:15Blocks him into the side.
15:17And Michael has picked up four points.
15:20Mayhem shoving him into the side of the halfpipe,
15:22and now down on the ground.
15:24Great job by Mayhem.
15:26Delivered a shot right to Michael's grill,
15:28and that will do it.
15:29An outstanding job by the gladiator of the third zone.
15:33Who is your daddy?
15:36Go at your side!
15:38Woo!
15:39Texas!
15:41Delphi!
15:43Now the gladiators celebrating like it's picture day at school.
15:47Michael's trash-talk coming back to haunt him
15:50as he has held only four points on the gauntlet
15:52by some very motivated gladiators.
15:56Mayhem really living up to his name.
15:58Takes Michael down once,
15:59then takes him down again,
16:01and again, and again!
16:04That was an amazing, amazing run.
16:07What was it about Mayhem that you just couldn't get through him?
16:10I mean, he just catches you off guard on that first hit.
16:13But you know what? Guaranteed, I'm winning this next event.
16:16Be ready, Michael, because these ain't like them parties in Vegas.
16:19Better be ready.
16:21Give it up for Michael and our gladiators!
16:25And now, the next gauntlet victim, Jaquez!
16:28Jaquez is down 14 points,
16:30but as a firefighter, he's used to working hard every day.
16:34As a firefighter, I would say you need critical thinking skills,
16:37mental fortitude, and you need to be physically fit.
16:40I plan on adapting my firehouse training to the gladiator defense,
16:43but I'm basically working on my movement, agility, speed, strength.
16:46Wearing an American gladiators would allow me to invest in my future,
16:49getting either a rental property or another investment property
16:52that appreciates in value.
16:53But I'm here because I want to showcase my ability to compete
16:56and conquer the gladiators.
17:00Contender ready!
17:03Gladiators ready!
17:05How about the last two lines of defense in the gauntlet?
17:09Mayhem weighing in at 240 pounds,
17:11the bull, 285.
17:133, 2, 1!
17:16Jaquez down 10 points.
17:19Ace working him into the corner,
17:21but kindly lets him go.
17:22Jaquez gets onto the board.
17:24Now spitting, spitting, and getting past Neon.
17:27Now dealing with some serious mayhem.
17:30Doing a great job against the Warriors of throwing him down.
17:32And how about the bull?
17:34You can't hold him down, but you can push him back.
17:37Gladiator, release! Release, Gladiator!
17:39The bull, instructed to release.
17:41Oh, he's holding him.
17:43You can't do that, bull!
17:44You gotta let him go!
17:47And referee Thomas Taylor says no way.
17:52That's a penalty on the bull for holding the contender down
17:56for more than three seconds.
17:58I saw my bullet couldn't get up.
17:59Contender, you have five seconds left on the clock to clear Zone 4.
18:04On my whistle!
18:06Five seconds to get it done.
18:11Another spin!
18:12Bull holding him in place!
18:14Another whistle!
18:16Will that do it?
18:18Bull holding for a second time.
18:20He's disqualified.
18:21My goodness!
18:23Contender winner!
18:24What the heck is happening here?
18:27I think Thomas Taylor is getting paid by the whistle today.
18:31That's what happens when I'm cheap.
18:32That's what happens when I'm cheap.
18:34I don't know what else to say.
18:35Nothing new.
18:35That's a lot of bull crap.
18:37I won.
18:38Know the rules.
18:39You don't know the rules.
18:43Jaquez, you juked him twice.
18:44And then he ends up getting disqualified.
18:47So you get ten points.
18:48Yeah.
18:48I mean, it feels good to get ten points, you know.
18:50My first match, I got ripped down off the wall,
18:52so it's comeback season.
18:53The bull is bleeding.
18:55You have blood coming down in your face.
18:56Why are you bleeding?
18:57Because that's what I bring to the table every time you see the ball.
19:00You see blood, sweat, and maybe some tears.
19:03There's a lot of sweat and there's a lot of spit.
19:06Okay.
19:06Yep, yep.
19:07Give it up for Jaquez and our gladiators.
19:10Blood, sweat, and tears here, ladies and gentlemen.
19:13After gauntlet, it's Michael 14, Jaquez 10.
19:16Michael with a mere two-second head start going into the eliminator.
19:20The firefighter is back in the game and hot on his heels.
19:24And now to the women's heat.
19:26First up on Gauntlet, it's Bayley.
19:29She's got a lot of work to do after her disappointing performance on the wall.
19:34Returning for this event is Voltage.
19:37And joining her, she's like if Lady Liberty traded her torch for a sledgehammer.
19:42It's Empire.
19:44Empire.
19:45With a background in bodybuilding, the only thing she's building lately
19:48is a reputation for being unstoppable.
19:54And she's all Southern and no comfort.
19:57It's Hurricane.
19:59She's got a background in pro wrestling.
20:01And now she's looking to go pro in the third position of the gauntlet.
20:07And finally, you better pray you don't become her prey, Huntress.
20:15Huntress is the total package.
20:17This track athlete has been hitting the gym, making her a double threat.
20:21She's a runner and a fighter.
20:24I'm on the hunt.
20:25I'm on the hunt.
20:27Long before ever dreaming of gladiator glory,
20:29teenage Bayley was running her own emotional gauntlet of rebellion.
20:33Growing up, I was a goth emo tomboy.
20:43I was never into sports.
20:45I always wanted to do my own thing.
20:48My dad played football.
20:49My mom did gymnastics and cheerleading.
20:51I was definitely a teenage girl who made life very difficult for my parents.
20:55As I got older, I have definitely channeled my anger or sadness or teenage angst
21:00and brought it into who I am now in my fitness, in my training.
21:04Winning the $100,000 would definitely prove that my life right now is not a phase.
21:08But I am bringing the former goth girl into the arena.
21:12She would be stunned to see who I have become today.
21:20A tender, Rene!
21:22Bayley's looking pretty calm for someone down 10 points.
21:25Gladiators, Rene!
21:27To Empire, Voltage, Hurricane, and Huntress checking in a combined 687 pounds.
21:373, 2, 1!
21:4030 seconds to cover 45 feet.
21:42She gets past Voltage.
21:44And now she gets pushed into the side.
21:47Another two points.
21:48Now working her way into Hurricane.
21:50Gets past that.
21:51She has six points.
21:52One more.
21:53Gladiator stands in her way.
21:55And Bayley!
21:56A perfect 10 to tie the score.
21:59And, oh, my gosh!
22:00She's blowing helmets!
22:02She's mean-bucking!
22:03And why not?
22:04That perfect score just got her back in the game.
22:07Wow!
22:10Bayley's certainly having no trouble tapping into her inner angst.
22:14Get out of her way!
22:18Come on in, Bayley!
22:20You just took down four gladiators in Gauntlet.
22:25That's gotta feel good.
22:26Feels great.
22:27Feels really good to take down people.
22:28Was she a tough cookie this go-around?
22:30I'll give it to you.
22:31I think you turned it up a little bit.
22:33But a count of five is still gonna hit you hard.
22:36But I'll give you your props.
22:37You did good.
22:37I think you really stepped it up this game.
22:39Let's give it up for our gladiators!
22:41Let's give it up for Bayley and your gladiators!
22:46The next contender to face the gauntlet is Charisma.
22:51All right, so both Bayley and Charisma now tied at 10.
22:55After Bayley's perfect gauntlet run,
22:57let's see what this New Yorker's state of mind is.
23:01Contender, Rene!
23:06Gladiators, Rene!
23:11Three, two, one!
23:13Charisma looking to retake the lead.
23:16Oh, she does a cartwheel there.
23:19She's lost her shoe.
23:20But she picks up two points, gets past Voltage.
23:22Man, that flyer.
23:23She's got four points.
23:25Now she's working on Hurricane, having a tough time.
23:27She's got no footing.
23:29She's in socks, for God's sake, or at least one cue.
23:32Has six points.
23:33One more stop.
23:34She gets through and walks in.
23:36Another ten points.
23:38Here, you can have my other shoe.
23:40She just does the splits.
23:42I mean, talk about a celebration.
23:44Literally socks into the gladiators.
23:47What is going on?
23:49Voltage has her shoe.
23:50Wow, Charisma, make your way on over here, Mama.
23:54She's gonna soul train.
23:55I mean, she's backflipping.
23:56She's pirouetting.
23:57She's splitting.
23:59She's high-kicking.
24:00She's doing it all in the gauntlet.
24:02Oh, the gauntlet's seen this action ever.
24:06Wow.
24:07Are you more tired from the dancing you did and the celebration,
24:10or going through the gauntlet?
24:12Definitely more tired from the dancing.
24:14They don't want this smoke.
24:16Listen, baby, this ain't choreography.
24:18It's combat.
24:19The next time you try to pirouette your way by us, think again.
24:23I know your name Empire, but I'm from the Empire State.
24:26Get with it or get lost.
24:28Where do you think I'm from?
24:29Let's go.
24:30Okay.
24:31Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
24:32Save it for the next gauntlet.
24:35Charisma reclaims the lead and will take a ten-point lead
24:39into the final event.
24:41The Edge, as she's in the running for a perfect score glory run.
24:50Gladiator Arena!
24:53For the first time ever on American Gladiators,
24:56we're unleashing a brand new larger-than-life event.
25:00And in honor of this milestone,
25:02I want everyone in the arena and at home to rise.
25:08This is The Edge.
25:10The Edge.
25:19The Edge.
25:21The Edge.
25:21The Edge.
25:22The Edge.
25:37Give it up for the four!
25:39Ready to breathe in the home of the brave.
25:43Woo!
25:44Now, Roxy, introduce the people to the edge.
25:50Contenders have 60 seconds to navigate a treacherous maze of narrow beams,
25:55suspended 30 feet above the arena floor with a gladiator hot on their trail.
26:00Each clean crossing scores them two points.
26:03If they reach 10, the chase is over.
26:06But one wrong step, and they're free-falling, baby.
26:10The first contender ever is on the edge, and it's Bayley!
26:17And waiting to take her down.
26:20You feel that?
26:21I do.
26:22Severe weather incoming.
26:24It's Hurricane!
26:28Bayley's got to get real creative with a gladiator like this chasing her down.
26:34Thomas, let's go!
26:37Contender ready!
26:4060 seconds for Bayley to score a maximum of 10 points.
26:45Gladiator ready!
26:46Ready!
26:48One, three, two, one!
26:5160 seconds of madness starts right now.
26:55Hurricane closing in quickly on Bayley.
26:58Moving right.
26:59Uh-oh!
26:59Hand-to-hand top at it!
27:00There she goes!
27:03Into the circus net!
27:07Goal!
27:09Goal!
27:09That's right, baby!
27:10That's a hurricane is my health!
27:12Let's go!
27:14Goal!
27:14It was one last chance for Bayley to score some points before the Eliminator.
27:20She is going to be facing a huge deficit!
27:24Let's take a look at that again.
27:26Not Bayley's proudest moment.
27:28Hey, it's okay to stare directly into a hurricane, but don't run right at it.
27:33Bayley taken down in second for her second goose egg of the day.
27:38Up next is the contender who has proven she can back up her trash-talking with or without shoes.
27:44Now stepping onto the edge, it's Charisma!
27:49But waiting to knock her off her rhythm, forget Katniss Everdeen.
27:54This gladiator is all hunger, zero games.
27:57It's Huntress!
28:02Contender ready!
28:05Charisma will have a lead heading into the Eliminator.
28:07The question is, how big will it be?
28:10Gladiator ready!
28:12The Huntress, ready to become the Hunter.
28:17Three, two, one!
28:20The edge, 40 feet from end to end, 34 feet wide.
28:25Here comes the dancer, and she gets two points quickly.
28:30Charisma makes another break for it.
28:32She's got a bunch of spinning in circles.
28:35Kind of.
28:36Oh, and a good move from right to left.
28:38And she gets six points.
28:41Remember, the most she can get is ten.
28:44Huntress has no clue what Charisma is doing.
28:47Make it a move.
28:48Make it a move.
28:49It's Barry Sanders-like.
28:51Make it a cool ten points.
28:54Charisma, the first contender of the season to finish the three challenges with a perfect 30 points,
28:59and is now indeed headed to our very first glory run.
29:03Party on, Charisma!
29:08Charisma!
29:08Come on over!
29:10Are you kidding me?
29:12Congratulations!
29:14Maximum points!
29:15Now, that's a stage that you can command.
29:18I really feel overwhelmed.
29:20I feel like the energy that I had to win that game was not just for me, but for the
29:25people that I want to help when I win this money.
29:28I want to help young women that are less fortunate, that don't have opportunities like this, that don't get to
29:33reach their true potential.
29:35So this is what I'm doing it for.
29:37I'm so grateful to be here right now.
29:39I feel so great.
29:40I mean, you've got to feel good.
29:42Your mom, Kimberly, is in the audience.
29:44What do you want to say to your mom?
29:45To have my family here means the world, and I'm happy to be here to support me.
29:48My mom has supported me since day one.
29:50The reason why I'm athletic the way I am, the reason why I could do any of the things that
29:54I do, is for my mom.
29:55Thank you so much.
29:56I love you, mom.
29:58We love you, mom.
30:00Congratulations.
30:02After the edge, Charisma's got a perfect score of 30 points.
30:07She's got a 20-point lead over Bayley.
30:10She'll get a 10-second head start going into the Eliminator, but more importantly, she's the master of the glory
30:16run.
30:17That's when a contender scores perfectly in all three preliminary events.
30:21All right, let's do it again in the men's heat.
30:24Jaquez is up first and ready for the edge.
30:27But is he ready for the Gladiator waiting to knock him off it?
30:31The Gladiator with the million-dollar face.
30:34It's Ace.
30:36Diamond in the sky, baby.
30:38Ace in that shining bright.
30:40But Watson beautiful here.
30:46Contender ready!
30:49The Gladiators and these male contenders have been going back and forth all night talking trash.
30:54Too bad in the Gladiator arena you get zero points for smack talk.
30:58Gladiator ready!
30:59But the red, white, and blue are thrown out there, Ace in the hole to stop him.
31:04Three, two, one!
31:08The edge is underway.
31:11An easy two right out of the gate for the firefighter.
31:15Breaking left.
31:16Now making a move right.
31:18Standing 30 feet in the air.
31:22Oh, Ace has got him right in the middle.
31:24Oh, Ace has got him right in the middle.
31:24Jaquez breaks right.
31:26Now retreats left.
31:29Remember, he cannot go back to home base.
31:31He can't do it.
31:32Oh, he stepped foot on it.
31:34Now he's got to go the entire other direction.
31:36And this will not count.
31:38He gets tangled with Ace.
31:40No points!
31:41No points!
31:42Because he set foot on his original base, but he does pick up two more points right there.
31:4720 seconds to go.
31:49Jaquez has four points.
31:50Making a move left.
31:52Retreating a bit.
31:54He's running out of time.
31:55Under 15 to go.
31:56Ace staring at me.
31:58Touching out for the firefighter.
32:00Hanging out for dear life.
32:01And, and, and, and he's down.
32:07Four points for Jaquez Jones.
32:14Oh, no.
32:15It looks like Jaquez might have hurt his shoulder there.
32:17The medical team is definitely going to want to look at that.
32:20All right, we need to take a look at this takedown.
32:22It looked like Jaquez fell, but that shoulder looks like it took the brunt of the impact.
32:27Jaquez had to settle for four points going into the eliminator.
32:31How you feeling?
32:32I saw you rubbing your shoulder or your bicep.
32:34You okay?
32:35I'm all right.
32:36Saw you hanging on for dear life.
32:38Did you pull anything?
32:39No, I'm good.
32:40I, um, I just knew the stakes were high.
32:42I needed some points.
32:43So I tried to get my best, get as many points as I could.
32:46Give it up for Jaquez.
32:49Ace, you did absolutely amazing up there.
32:53How do you stay balanced with so many big biceps?
32:55Oh, look, that's a great question, Roxy.
32:58The thing is, it's not my balance I'm worried about with my biceps.
33:01It's because when I flex like this, it's everyone else who I see falling over.
33:06Everybody, please.
33:08Eight.
33:10Next up is Michael on the edge.
33:14Michael leading so far.
33:15Fiancee Brooke loving every moment of this.
33:20And those metal detectors can only mean one thing.
33:24This gladiator's in the house.
33:27It's Steel!
33:28At 5'10 and 205 pounds, Steel is used to wrestling on the floor.
33:33Well, today, he's moving up 30 feet above the arena floor to wrestle his opponent off the edge.
33:39Let's see if Michael is up for the task.
33:42Thomas, take it away.
33:44Contender ready!
33:46Well, time for the trash talk to stop and for these contenders to start putting up points
33:51because talk is cheap in the gladiator arena.
33:54Gladiator, ready!
34:00Three, two, one!
34:02One last chance for Michael to add points before the eliminator.
34:06Makes a move, gets tackled, but that's two points.
34:09Release, release, gladiator! Release, gladiator!
34:12You gotta release him.
34:13Oh, Steel giving up an easy two, and now another two for Michael.
34:18And now another two.
34:21Steel a bit shaken with that move.
34:23Thought he had him all wrapped up.
34:25Michael now with eight points as he throws him into the corner,
34:28and now he's gonna make it a clear ten.
34:31It's gonna be a shutout for Michael.
34:34Wow!
34:35Another amazing performance by the party boy from Vegas.
34:39Let's go, baby!
34:40We'll take a huge lead into the eliminator.
34:44Woo!
34:46Michael!
34:47You just went toe-to-toe with the gladiator and did not back down.
34:51Yeah!
34:52How do you feel?
34:53I needed those points.
34:55I couldn't lose them.
34:56So when you see me at the eliminator, I'm going to dominate.
35:00Woo!
35:02Woo!
35:02Woo!
35:02So after the edge, Michael leads Jaquez 24-14.
35:05That means he will have a five-second head start on the eliminator.
35:10A 20-point lead gives Charisma a massive 10-second head start in the eliminator over Bayley.
35:16Now the only thing standing between Charisma and the semifinals is the eliminator.
35:21Let's go to The Miz and Roxy for more.
35:25All right.
35:26We're three rounds deep, and the bartender's giving us the stink eye.
35:30So let's make this last one count.
35:32It's eliminator time, baby!
35:34Roxy, tell us what's on tap.
35:36The eliminator, a brutal bar crawl of pain and embarrassment.
35:43Two contenders must conquer grueling hurdles, scale ropes, and monkey bars.
35:47After a daring trapeze, they'll climb up a tangled cargo neck, then careen down the zip line.
35:54It's a sprint across the balance beam before their final charge up the legendary Travelator.
35:59Then, one last rope swing to the finish.
36:03The winner of each heat moves on to the semifinals.
36:06Hopefully, the hangover's gone by then.
36:12Contenders, ready!
36:14Charisma has a 10-second head start, the biggest we've seen all season.
36:19While it feels monumental, on this course, it's anything but.
36:23Three, two, one!
36:27Charisma Lockhart off and running.
36:28In the meantime, Bayley, you can take a quick nap.
36:31She can't go for 10 seconds, and Charisma already at the rope.
36:35Bayley said, I am ready for this eliminator.
36:39I can make up some serious time.
36:42Charisma off to the monkey bars, doing a nice job, gets across.
36:46Now to the trapeze.
36:47We've got this in a bag, Ray!
36:49Bayley arrives safely at the monkey bars, has to make up some serious time.
36:53On to the cargo net for Charisma, the former dancer and performer at Coyote Ugly.
37:00Trying to win Ugly here today.
37:02Come on, come on, come on!
37:03She's coming!
37:04Two-thirds of the way up the cargo net.
37:07Bayley gets across and gets to the cargo net.
37:10Takes a big leap.
37:11Let's see if her fitness training pays off here.
37:13Charisma gets to the top and over to the zip line.
37:17And she's on her way down.
37:19Bayley, about 10 more feet to go up the cargo net.
37:25Charisma gets to the balance beam where you have to cross.
37:28There's no delay if you fall off.
37:30You have to start back at the beginning.
37:32But her dancing background.
37:34Oh, why don't you pirouette off that?
37:36Oh, now she's at the travelator.
37:39You had one of those zip lines in your backyard.
37:41By the way, you're really rich.
37:44Bayley, down the zip line.
37:46Charisma, push, push, push.
37:49Oh, she goes face first, opening the door for Bayley.
37:53Slow, steady, and perfect.
37:54Has her nearly erasing that 10-second deficit.
37:57Still, Bayley's going to need a little luck.
38:01Who can tuff it and out?
38:05Charisma gets it another run.
38:07And...
38:10Charisma, oh, so close.
38:15Bayley, Bayley is up.
38:17She has raised the 10-second deficit.
38:20She is off to the semifinals.
38:23What an upset.
38:28Oh, you just came back from 10 seconds to win.
38:37How are you feeling in this moment?
38:39So happy.
38:41It's okay.
38:42It's okay.
38:43It's all right.
38:44An exhausting adventure for Charisma Lockhart,
38:48who dominated the competition until the Eliminator.
38:53All right, baby.
38:54All right, baby.
38:55All right, baby.
38:57Bayley, you're going to the semifinals.
39:00You have a chance at $100,000
39:02and all that American Gladiator glory.
39:05Look at me now!
39:07Yeah!
39:09Charisma!
39:10Just, what do you think it was
39:12about that travelator that got you?
39:14I don't know.
39:15It just was harder than I anticipated it to be.
39:17And I'm sorry that I didn't give y'all
39:19that blue flame energy
39:21that I anticipated on the door.
39:22Give it up for Charisma
39:24and Bayley!
39:28Well, the big show,
39:29it ain't over just yet.
39:31We're about to find out
39:32who in the men's heat
39:33is going to be moving on with Bayley.
39:35And for more on that,
39:36let's send things back down to The Miz.
39:40What a night!
39:41And it all leads up
39:42to this men's eliminator.
39:44Michael, come on out here!
39:54You've done an amazing job
39:55in the Gladiator arena,
39:57but before we go any further,
39:59we have a little bit of news for you.
40:01We just saw Jaquez take that big,
40:03big hit from Ace on the Edge.
40:05Unfortunately, Jaquez suffered a pectoral injury
40:08and won't be able to run the eliminator.
40:10So there's a little twist here, Michael.
40:14Once all the preliminary heats are over,
40:17the eliminated contender
40:18with the fastest time
40:20will face you
40:21in a final showdown
40:23with a spot
40:24in the semifinals
40:25on the line!
40:27I like it.
40:27And finally,
40:28you have earned
40:29a five-second lead
40:31against Jaquez.
40:32So you will be able
40:33to keep that
40:34no matter who
40:35your opponent will be.
40:37Well,
40:38Michael will have to wait,
40:39but not for long,
40:41as this amazing new season
40:42of American Gladiators continues.
40:45For Chris Rose,
40:46I'm Roxy Diaz.
40:48And I'm The Miz.
40:49See you next time
40:49on American Gladiators.
41:27American Gladiators.
41:32I'm the one
41:34in the arena
41:36You'll remember the name
41:39I'm on the rise up
41:42I'll put it all here
41:43All here
41:44I'm the one
41:47in the arena
41:48I'm the one
41:50Remember my name
