Default Uk Gladiators 2024

Anyone else chuffed with gladiators coming back to UK tv?

Growing up in the 90s, those women were an early fantasy!

Some good looking and strong women as you’d expect - late Xmas present!

Hope it succeeds and there is a US revival. Except without all the camera jumps that IMO totally ruined the last couple years of the US original and reboot in 2008. I wonder if they were trying to make a live action show resemble a video game.

I remember the original. I can't say I'm consciously aware of it developing my liking for strong women, but it could have been a subconscious influence.

I haven't yet picked a favourite from the new Gladiators. Diamond's an absolute bombshell, Dynamite is cute but didn't do too well in "The Ring" today, Sabre on the other hand was a beast in her events, and I was amused that the producers put sprinter Fire in the very static "Duel" but she despatched contender Kerry nonetheless.

Have a group shot of the women Gladiators. From left to right Fire, Comet, Athena, Dynamite, Diamond, Sabre, Electro, and Fury.

Haven’t got round to it yet, worried they would have messed with it too much like the last reboot attempt.

I was always a fan of Panther in the original. The 80’s throwback with the big perm and thick thighs.
The other thing I always remember is the theme music. The drum rolls at the start, three shredding electric guitar solos, 70’s porno saxophone solo…it was all there.

Crank up the volume…

I take it there's no FvM stuff or anything edgy. It would be cool on games like "hang tough" if they had some inter gender competition to spice things up. Size and weight respecting of course. I'm not talking about a guy built like Eddie Hall going up against a little pixie.

The only one that really caught my eye was "Diamond" / Livi Sheldon.

6ft blonde. ex footballer and bodybuilder.

A lot of girls are like this these days. Growing up very active and sportive.

In my local supermarket on Friday, I past a bunch of 8 or so teenagers. 4 girls, 4 boys, about 14-15. The girls wearing Football or Rugby shirts, looking athletic and strong. The boys mostly wearing marvel, anime stuff. socks and slides. Looking frail and meek.

Yes I’ve noticed that the girls seem more athletic looking and the boys are a bit wimpish

Probably not. Closest is a couple of interview answers,

A mixed team event would be reasonably fair from a sporting standpoint but it would likely incur vocal backlash. Even as the popularity of strength training with women is rising, sensitivity around "violence against women and girls" is also high now. A man attacking a woman in an event like Duel or Ring, regardless of who is the gladiator and who is the contender, is completely out of tune. I think that would actually have been easier to do, in terms of public perception, in the 90s. Look at WWE, they stopped doing serious intergender matchups in the 2000s and now they even code their videogames to prevent players pitting a female character against a male.

A top tier female contender in Bronte today. The people of Sheffield have nothing to fear with her in their fire service! Went the distance versus Dynamite in Duel, and absolutely outrageous in The Edge. It's early days but I'll call it now, I can see Bronte winning the series and/or turning Gladiator in series 2 like happened with one of the contenders in the original.

Great show from Alex too, such a shame she slipped in the Eliminator, if she hadn't I'd tip her for the fastest-runner-up slot. She still might get it.

And Dynamite kicking ass in Duel. You don't want her coming at you with a pugil stick. (Well, we do )
