[TV] Gladiators

[StonehamPark]

Fun fact, one of the contestants in the recent “real life” version of Squid Game on
Netflix

Really!? I watched the whole 'real life' version and didn't notice him at all.

Baywatch or Gladiators?

A conundrum as old as time itself.

Absolutely this, I’m surprised my knob never fell off back in those days !
This generation don’t know they’re born with the internet at their fingertips !

 

[Sheebo]

So it was you that turned her gay. Poor work, frankly

Tremendous work, Sheebo Trumps my snog with Susannah Reid!

Alternatively, after a night of passion with @Sheebo she thought "I've peaked - no man can compare with that - I'll check out women instead."

I mean, I completely made that story up - but wouldn’t it be great if it were true

He didn’t do very well, might even have fallen first round, but he was definitely there

Ok, I'll bite.

What made you snog a palace fan? Or did she turn to palace after you?

You knew you'd overdone it when the most special part of the tape started to go a bit squiffy through being rewound, paused, and slo-mo'd far too many times.

 

[Frutos]

Yep, I'll give it a watch.

Baywatch or Gladiators?

A conundrum as old as time itself.

noel edmonds used to do a cctv section where he set cameras up in a person's house. They would then surprise the victim live on tv

They set these up in chris evans's house and they allegedly couldnt switch to show him for a long while as he was 'playing billiards' to baywatch instead

I remember way back in the day an episode of Celebrity Gladiators, which featured Vinny Jones. It was hilarious. Vinny was being Vinny and giving it all that when the mic was in front of him. So, the Gladiators pretty much ignored the other contestants to just wail on Vinny. After being slapped about a bit he looked like he might start crying.

I always thought the women's part of the contest was a bit unfair on the gladiators. On the men's side, the gladiators were all these 'roided up monsters and the contestants were fit, but otherwise fairly average blokes. They stood no chance against these hulks. But on the women's side, the gladiators were picked more on how good they looked in a those tiny outfits rather than on how physically powerful they were. They were physically fit, no doubt, but hardly the monsters we had on the men's side. Meanwhile, the female contestants always ended up being super butch and often looked much stronger than the gladiators.

So while the male contestants got slapped around like rag dolls, it was the female gladiators that ended up getting slapped about.

I heard an interview earlier this week that the Gladiators for this new series had to be dragged into a meeting and told to take it easy on the contestants as they were being a bit too rough.

I know one of the Gladiators from the reboot about 15 years ago, the male gladiators certainly didn’t want to lose face and definitely liked to lay one in when they could. So the above story doesn’t surprise me at all.

Ha! No…it’s all rather benign…we were kids - I grew up in enemy country in Surrey, we lived on the same road. Also…my Godfather ran off with her Mother…

Bloody BOLSHEVIKS.
Gladiators being asked to take it easy on contestants is the thin end of the wedge.
Next thing the COMMUNISTS will have taken over and we'll all have to be contestants on Gladiators to win the right to buy a bath plug.

 

[BBassic]

Great fun this is.

Like being a kid again

You can't even potentially maim anyone today without being sent to jail.

Yep - as beige as beige can be.
