I think Nightshade appeared again, but this is often considered as her end on Gladiators. Brilliant athlete and classy woman who was dealt a cruel hand of fate.
Has to be the year when gladiatours UK was at the peak of its powers. Great show and everyone remembered Wolf/Jet/Lightning/Cobra/Shadow w throuht. Great show and so 1990's. Baywatch and then You Bet and then Gladiators.
Nightshade is one of my favorite gladiators. She was the Queen of the Joust and Suspension Bridge from Season 2 to 4. It almost seems like they tried to replace her with Rio but there is and will always be one Nightshade 🥰
Rio was not her replacement it was Laser. Rio had the most upright respect for her black queen (nightshade) and said on the glad pod that she beat her in duel
Jeez they weren't very kind to Sylvina on the events in comparison to Yvette! They give Sylvina Lightning on Skytrak, Rio on Whiplash and Duel, Vogue on Hang Tough and Rebel on The Wall. Think Yvette got easier opponents in every game!
I keep hearing they're bringing Gladiators back! I hope so. They need to keep the fun/playful yet slightly grand elements from it with focus on good sportsmanship. They also need to keep the theme song! Just arrange it with a high quality orchestra and use modern guitar tones, percussion and production. Maybe good powerful female vocals would work better too.
They are. It's already started filmng. I saw a feature about how the women's outfits would be slightly less revealing as the ladies had to tape pants in place which was uncomfortable. Some will still be wearing two pieces but with short shorts.
I remember meeting her when I was younger. I also meet Nightshade around the same time. Still have their autographs. Both were very polite and friendly to talk to. Everyone's likes Jet but Facon was my favourite.
She was in a very bad way after The Ashes 1 Series & that was pretty much the end for this legendary gladiator Best to remember her for her Outstanding Work in Series 2-4
She looked really thin and bony on the Duel, it was tragic to see it considering how good she had been. You never know how a virus is going to affect you.
The female winner had to push off the side section to get up the travellator , it was that same side that the male winner touched, though he went down and did it again. For a 100m Hurdler she sure made an absolute meal of that travellator.
And strange how the one thing Andy got right was the travellator throughout the whole contest. It was the only time he showed some good athleticism, I somehow expect he got stage fright or something during the competition with all the attention on him and was glad for it to be over.
Oooooh I miss these days of being young and I remember when wolf and another gladiator came to Ingram high school and my English teacher was really attracted to wolf and they really enjoyed talking to each other. Her name was Miss L
@@jacobburtonswfc that was the style for black hair in the 90s. I would be careful to call it ridiculous because it does connect to a larger group. Black hairstyles have been under fire for ever and its a sensitive topic... Just food for thought no T or Shade
Looking at it in Slow-Motion at around 19.8, it does look like her pugil-stick touches the other platform, although its difficult to tell from the angle we saw it.
Andy what a pitiful pethetic 5 events leading up to the eliminator,, how the fuck do you expect to win with a dismissive attitude to the events? Mottram no pressure whatsover, could have fell fown the traverlater twice and still won, so hard to tell how good he is atm tbh.
Mottram was almost faultless the only mistake was the travellator but quite wisely especially after Michelle Kimberly's saga in the Northern Prelims went back down to did it properly
In my home country's version, after two or three bonified attempts on the treadmill, they get a free passage. I did see Mark stepped on the silver part of the treadmill, he did the right thing to stop, if he had not stopped he would have been disqualified or penalized
@@jacobburtonswfc different games. Wes won the final of international gladiators but this guy claims to have beaten Paul Field on a track or bob sled event. I just found his claim bizarre given how poor he evented in the show.
@@jacobburtonswfc yes on Gladiators Paul was only ever beaten by Wes Berry. Bear in mind Paul had to run the eliminator with sore ribs which he got from a nasty accident in Powerball only finished about a second behind Wes so still very impressive.
@@Freddie1980 Yes I remember it when it happened, did Paul Field ever come back for the Champion of Champions which that boring Jane Smith won the women's?
This, GamesMaster, The Crystal Maze and Red Dwarf. When you grow up and realize that those were the best days of your life.

Don't know what was funnier: Hunter's disdain when he saw how crap Andrew was on The Wall or Phil's "clash" with Wolfman.

@@tourous4life Fair enough, I like Laser too, but she ended up as Sheena in Springbok on the SA show. Rio of course is very powerful in Duel.
Jet from Gladiators to host a millennium barn dance at Yeovil aerodrome……Properly policed. It must not, repeat not, turn into an all-night rave.

How stunning beautiful was Falcon? Jeez! Didn't appreciate it at the time... as I was about 8. What a woman.
And now, her feathers are the wings of an angel.
I remember meeting her when I was younger. I also meet Nightshade around the same time. Still have their autographs. Both were very polite and friendly to talk to. Everyone's likes Jet but Facon was my favourite.
RIP FALCON you was 1 of my favourites
I met her at school I also met wolf
If Andrew Lewis had the calibre of Paul Field we weren't going to see it that evening.
Wondering what their up to these days. The contender
Or any evening
Phil Norman you should know that taking on Wolf is a bad idea!
Can't complain about Yvette's outfit. It seemed to be the winning combo up to this point that had most wins.
Indeed although she said in her next round that she let go on Hang Tough as she thought her knickers were going to come down
Man, poor Nightshade. She seemed like she was very out of it there. Sorry her run ended like this.
She was in a very bad way after The Ashes 1 Series & that was pretty much the end for this legendary gladiator
Best to remember her for her Outstanding Work in Series 2-4
She looked really thin and bony on the Duel, it was tragic to see it considering how good she had been. You never know how a virus is going to affect you.
As soon as I saw she was up on Duel, I grimaced. She was my favourite Gladiator and it’s heartbreaking seeing her like this 😢
Saracen is usually glorious to watch on the rings.
I just love how the Wolfman was always getting into fights on the show however it was hard not to love him
Gladiators this year seems to get a massive amount of work out of Rio
The female winner had to push off the side section to get up the travellator , it was that same side that the male winner touched, though he went down and did it again. For a 100m Hurdler she sure made an absolute meal of that travellator.

I think Andrew was the first contender not to score any points at all.

Good video
Rip Falcon
Saturday 23rd November 1996
At 6'2" tall and weighing 13 stone, which equals to 182 pounds, Rio is the tallest and the heaviest UK female gladiator ever.
Rio is the UK equivalent to America's Sky/Jazz
I thought Laser was the tallest (by a center metre above Rio).
We Love you Falcon Rip
RIP?
@@dannysstart2218Sadly, Bernadette Hunt (Falcon) passed away in March 2023 from Cancer
Vogue was my favorite gladiator
I wouldn't kick any of the girls out of bed for farting.
LJ Garrison: I hear you dude

I had a photo signed by falcon
Me too
@Anthony-Elliott was too nervous to get it myself as I was only 7 lol. A friend of my dad got her to sign it and was bit flustered meeting her

If you wear the knickers you deserve to win
Don't really understand Andrew's hairstyle the rest of his head bald yet he decides to keep that little fringe of hair on his head.
Lol
It’s the sideways Mohawk 😂
It does look a bit ridiculous to say the least.
Its a urban thing.. Very rasta alternative..

Bless Nighshade, she wasn’t great this season! Hence it being her worst season
Yea, it looks like she hadn’t fully recovered from the virus she caught at the international gladiators
I was really ruling for Nightshade on Duel. She was the queen in Duel & Suspension Bridge in prior seasons.
Contender Blue didn't score anything after 5 Events.

Was that the only time Rio lost in whiplash?

I'd do all challenges on that show except the upside down racetrack, stuff that!
Not even if you were only a couple of feet off the floor
@@davidfearis7335 Maybe, but I still think it would be a weird feeling.
Then what about Pendulum?
@@christianfrost8660 I had to search for that one but yeah, stuff that I don't think I'd do that one either. 😂
It has a name you know. It’s name is skytrak so you might as well use it’s name.

The only time Nightshade was knocked off on Duel. Only becaue of the virus though.
Nice
Not a good end for Nightshade, This wasn't the best season for her.
From what I remember, she picked up a virus the previous year during the first Ashes series and I wonder if it resurfaced during this series.
Sylvina's duel, 20/19 seconds left, Rio clearly not in control of her balance, does she touch the contender's podium? Looks like it.
Looking at it in Slow-Motion at around 19.8, it does look like her pugil-stick touches the other platform, although its difficult to tell from the angle we saw it.
If she did use the pugil-stick to regain her balance it would be a DQ.
Well done Rio. Glad she won against a man
Yvette is certainly right about her thighs, they look fantastic!
Yvette and Panther looked like sisters in the Whiplash ring!
Whose the Muppet who made the ribbons for the medals!
Whiplash, really is a shite game. Not a fair contest at all and the result in this show tells you everything.
I thought I've seen the name Mark Mottram before . Watch the game of thrones intro
He played Dave Quinnan in The Bill
who are you talking about.
Yeah, John Anderson sure had a Beef with Mr. Mottram this series until they shook hands in the grand final!
Howaga! Fash needs some new material
Still better then the charisma vacuum that was Jeremy Guscott
He was doing that in the Australia v Britain version in Australia
Mark Mottram reminds me of PC Dave Quinnan from The Bill.
Nicola Dale I agree with you
Also, I think that Sylvina looked a little like Nicola Adams.
I take it you mean Dave Quinnan.

Claims he beat Paul Field but scores zero points. Yeah that story makes perfect sense. 😏
Was Wesley Berry the only person to ever defeat him?
