Catastrophic performance from Nightshade, totally anonymous. It was clear in this episode that she had lost her power and strength. Very sad that it was a virus caught during the Ashes in Australia, she should have been given time to recover fully before competing again. The demise of Nightshade is painful to sit and watch.
A few names I think would be good for Gladiators in the future: Jackal, Retro, Cavalier, Veloz, Madhouse, Viking, Bookworm, Dart, Goodwill, Apparition.
well, there was 1997 - quarter final 4, and 1998 - quarter final 1, where he really did kick off at john anderson, to be fair though, i think they were the only 2 other occasions he actually did though!! 😂
Ikr? Totally unnecessary from Warrior. Something not quite right in the head of that guy (as was shown in his later life with his ties to criminals and money swindling). Warrior.... More like "Wan*er"
Having seen the incident Michelle Kimberly caused on the travalator by using her legs on the static section in the centre, I think it was right for the ref to send both girls back to the beginning of the balance beam, but I think Meleri Davis who started the Eliminator with a 3 second head-start should've also been allowed to start the sudden death play-off with that head-start intact seeing as it was Michelle that caused the incident in the first place and not because both girls were tired and need the regain their energy after failing the travalator so many times. In short Meleri should start the sudden death race with her 3 second head-start intact and that in my opinion would've been a lot fairer.
Mind you looking at how Michelle's supporters were taking it when John Anderson spoke about the incident, it does make you think they were the sore losers and not Michelle!
This reminds me of an incident in Australia Gladiators during the eliminator when one of the female contenders helmet came off. The eliminator was stopped and after the helmet was replaced the eliminator was restarted and the contender who had the head start started with the same headstart.
Michelle should've been disqualified for cheating on the travalator. Why did John make both girls restart from the balance beam, that was not fair at all. Meleri was at the bottom of the travalator just about to run up it when John made them restart. Not fair at all and I wish she complained.
And ulrika jonsson ffs,, "absolutely amazing, 10 seconds".. he was 15 seconds behind with a donkey only having to run up the traverlater but managing to fail not once but twice.
Good thing Jonny won the Eliminator in the end, he really did deserve it out of all 4 Contenders this episode, the other 3 made a right mess of the Travelator throughout!
Can't get over how adorable Rio is despite being nearly 7 inches taller than me. I would pat her on the head and go "aaaww" but I'd need a stool to stand on first
Jonny Alcock I mean seriously wow just wow the biggest head start deficit overturned since Series 2 when Steve Quick overturned a 15 second head start to win his heat and then followed it up by coming back from a 10 second head start deficit in the last 8 unbelievable
Always had a soft spot for Lightning back then, a great gymnast/gladiator and a real down to earth and friendly person from outside of ‘Gladiators’! 🥰🥰🥰⚡️
@@davidfearis7335 They're allowed to momentarily crawl, jump, twist. Do you expect the contenders just to run stupidly directly at the gladiators and allow themselves to be smashed in the face repeatedly?
Doesn't matter, he got out-skilled and from that point needs to let go of the ram rod. Seen it happen before on that game plenty of times, they have to let go and let the contender carry on past them.
They are allowed to do that, the rules state they must have at least one hand on the strap at all times & they must NOT put their hands down on the platform
They should've had a adjudicator at the top of The Travelator to send them back down if they use the static section But I do agree Michelle should've been DISQUALIFIED on The Eliminator
When Wolf and Warrior got pulled up in gauntlet I thought Wolf broke the rules again. You know what he's like. Unexpected that for once he was off the hook
John Sachs calling Pantther.Lighing during Gauntlet.Sumoball is a complete and uttuer crap evenn,t so boring -lts.just basically the same almost as Whiplash and Tit.After lasts years Pendulm.they clearly where not gonna beark the bank in trying to top it. Brekthrought and Coquer, whch they tryed out Wembley in 93 .would had been more excitiing then Sumoball.And that Saghtti Jection adds nothing to the elimiantior. And ulrika jonsson ffs..absolutely amazing .10 scond;.he was 15 seconds behid with dookey only having to run up the traerlater but managing to fail once but twice
John Sachs calling Panther, Lightning during Gauntlet. Sumoball is a complete and utter crap event, so boring. It's just basically the same almost as Whiplash and Tilt. After lasts years Pendulum, they clearly where not gonna break the bank in trying to top it. Breakthrough and Conquer, which they tryed out at Wembley in 93, would had been more exciting then Sumoball. And that Spaghetti Jection adds nothing to the eliminator.
i personally think that the rules should have been allowing the contenders to score a point for each gladiators they pass, and score 10 points when they get past all 5 gladiators, like how the 1998 rules were, it must be so frustrating when michelle nearly got to the end but ended up with no points, such a pisstake!! they should have stuck with the 1998 rules of the game when they introduced the event in 1994!!
Absolutely pethetic the blokes on that traverlater so far,, heat 1 was a joke, and andrews here was absolutely pitiful.. its the easiest part of the eliminator ffs,, come off the beam with a spring and sprint up it with purpose. Truly diabolical tbh,, and two shite competitors have benefitted from 2 clowns not knowing how to run up a traverlater ffs.
@@davidfearis7335 On second viewing of this something looks off about his attempt,, like its either been sped up as he runs up it or he does it on purpose to throw the whole event.
@@therebel4332 I think looking at it for close viewing, Andy forgot the golden rule with the travelator:- ALWAYS KEEP YOUR HEAD UP He didn't so that's why he lost so badly here
mate!! they had to run up a hill that came down!! how the hell is that easy, especially after 5 hard events, and on top of that the other obstacles in the eliminator??
@@ewanellis2176 Exactly! @therebel4332 probably was sitting there on his coach with a hand full of Cheetos and a can of coke resting on his belly whilst watching these guys
The only time where both contenders got 0 POINTS, both failed to get back up the towers quickly enough & the gladiators did enough to keep the contenders away from the cylinder until the end where it was too late to basket the ball.

I love Nightshade’s new outfit
I have seen some exciting eliminators in the USA, but those two in this episode were big comebacks. Wow!
A few names I think would be good for Gladiators in the future: Jackal, Retro, Cavalier, Veloz, Madhouse, Viking, Bookworm, Dart, Goodwill, Apparition.
I think the only time Saracen seems to lose it is in the GAUNTLET, every other event he's such a gentleman and a fantastic sportsman!
Could have been heat if the moment. You know what the games like.
well, there was 1997 - quarter final 4, and 1998 - quarter final 1, where he really did kick off at john anderson, to be fair though, i think they were the only 2 other occasions he actually did though!! 😂
It's not easy going from Maximum Murder Mode to OK Shake Hands in seconds
25:07 phwoar! Oh my, Rio and vogue both wearing swimming cossie in time out 😋😍😍😍😍💕💕💕
Vogue was my favorite
Jonny Alcock really showed Michelle, Meleri & Andrew how to deal with The Travelator
35:16 I bet Warrior's thinking; "c'mon John that ain't fair"
36:11 Wolf: "Get him Warrior! Get him!"
At first, you can't tell that Michelle used the central part of the travelator but then when you see the replay from a different angle it's obvious.
John Anderson really threw his weight around in this episode, didn't he?????/
After the battering Jonny got from Warrior I am surprised he was able to complete the eliminator
Ikr? Totally unnecessary from Warrior. Something not quite right in the head of that guy (as was shown in his later life with his ties to criminals and money swindling). Warrior.... More like "Wan*er"
John sachs keeps calling panther lightning on gauntlet lol
Anybody can make that error.
Incredible Eliminators this time around!

The travelator got it's own back on Michelle in The Ashes.

@@michaelvidal1971 Yeah I've seen that incident too, although it had to be stopped for safety reasons & not through cheating of the contenders
Two exciting eliminators in this episode!
Man-O-Man haha i remember that show
Michelle should've been disqualified for cheating on the travalator. Why did John make both girls restart from the balance beam, that was not fair at all. Meleri was at the bottom of the travalator just about to run up it when John made them restart. Not fair at all and I wish she complained.
John Anderson was struck by her beauty and could not think straight
Fash just handing over the Medals instead of putting them round the contenders necks.
I cannot believe that men's eliminator Andrew it was in the bag in truly was in the bag he was miles ahead but he had a travellator catastrophe
And ulrika jonsson ffs,, "absolutely amazing, 10 seconds".. he was 15 seconds behind with a donkey only having to run up the traverlater but managing to fail not once but twice.
Saturday 12th October 1996
Put some ear defenders on that poor little babies ears!!! 😠😠
Everybody on the seat of their chairs
Actually Nightshade played Powerball so she wasn't absent.
It says she is a guest Gladiator.
A record 4 restarts in Gaunlet by Jonny.
Johnnie should have been awarded 5 points from gauntlet. He was clearly pinned by warrior and that would cause a DQ
Good thing Jonny won the Eliminator in the end, he really did deserve it out of all 4 Contenders this episode, the other 3 made a right mess of the Travelator throughout!
You could tell Uli loved saying Johnny Alcock's name.
Unshy Ulrika lol
Can't get over how adorable Rio is despite being nearly 7 inches taller than me. I would pat her on the head and go "aaaww" but I'd need a stool to stand on first
Yet another person with a professional sporting background makes it through!
Jonny Alcock I mean seriously wow just wow the biggest head start deficit overturned since Series 2 when Steve Quick overturned a 15 second head start to win his heat and then followed it up by coming back from a 10 second head start deficit in the last 8 unbelievable
Tough show for Rebel and Rio, pretty much every event!
“OoOhh I love clubs” 😂 she’s aDOrable!
Always had a soft spot for Lightning back then, a great gymnast/gladiator and a real down to earth and friendly person from outside of ‘Gladiators’!
🥰🥰🥰⚡️
Michelle should have been disqualified instantly for cheating on the elimination and let Meleri instantly go through to the Northern semi final
38:10 to be fair that wasnt really Saracen's fault
That could've been A RESTART At SARACEN'S Sector Again Because Andrew Crawled, Causing SACAREN To Hook Him Inside The Ram Rod

1 hand on the sumo ball for an extended period should be a DQ.
They are allowed to do that, the rules state they must have at least one hand on the strap at all times & they must NOT put their hands down on the platform
swingshot being on gladiators since series 1 in 1992
Michelle should have been DQ'd on the Eliminator
Nope she shouldn’t!
@@4HBirtchershe was the only one to gain from her DQ
They should've had a adjudicator at the top of The Travelator to send them back down if they use the static section
But I do agree Michelle should've been DISQUALIFIED on The Eliminator
MICHELLE SHOULD HAVE BEEN DQ’D ON THE ELIMINATOR GLORY SENGO.
I was happy when swingshot got an outing but the mens event kinda messed up the competition
Warrior meant business in the Gauntlet.
Not like Saracen to misbehave though.
When Wolf and Warrior got pulled up in gauntlet I thought Wolf broke the rules again. You know what he's like. Unexpected that for once he was off the hook
this wasnt my favourite episode for the biceps but it was ok.
38:36 Wolf's worst performance in Gaunlet.
20:24 I couldn't agree any more, Sachs. In Jet's absence, Vogue's lovely ass became the highlight of the show.
Is it me or would yoh rather ba e the runner up prize the the winning prize!
Scooby doo movie
Nightshade's leotard looks different sense she was presented in 1993.
Worcestershire? SOUTH west Wales? Yes, very northern 🤣
They had to separate them somehow, think there was a contender from Birmingham in the Northern heats and the Southern heats.
Nice

As fiddly as the Sky One reboot was, even it at least got scoring for Gauntlet right.
@@Signerdragon123thats the way they have the gauntlet on the bbc version for 2 points for each gladiator you get past

Don't forget these contenders are only from the NORTH of Great Britain, we'll have to compare them to those from the SOUTH of Great Britain.
