I watch the videos of this show. I still love Jet! She was my TV crush on the show and I still love watching her on the videos. She was so cute. I still love her. Jet was my favorite!
Sam gradually became a fan favourite, the most charismatic contender ever, and Phil was also a fantastic personality. This would have been a worthy final.
666jon agree. I love how Phil at 16.48 talking of the flashback of pyramid, tells how wolf is complacent sitting there like it's all too easy and then is taken out by cobra flying down - that's karma for being too confident!
Many of the male gladiators started to lose weight as the seasons went on, the reason being that the quality of the contenders was getting higher and higher all the time. The excess weight hampered their agility, so each season quite a few of the male gladiators had lost a stone or two in order to outpace the contenders.
Yeah I guess they were naturally training harder and longer wanting to look their best on telly. What I liked about them is they were down to earth the kind you'd probably find in your local gym.
Sad to see Erika go out like that. Lack of the draw didn't help her in some events and towards the end she was clearly rattled. This semi final should have been as close as the men's.
Poor Erika, She was a great contender, great personilty. But the pressure was way too much for her in this show. She could had possibly beaten Eunice if it had been a less of a headstart.
I agree. Erika just had it all go wrong on the day in the Semi Final. With how fast she had done the eliminator (that has to be one of the quickest females if she did 1.05 in the 1/4) I think she could have won on another day. In another series (especially Series 4) she could have been champion.
Fashanu did give Jet the Juju. She is the only person to whom he asked a question about getting injured..and that is exactly what will happen to her leading to her leaving the show...Makes you wonder about the power of autosuggestion
It happened to me as well. My cat had kittens and one of them hated being stroked. One time she tried scratching me when I went to stroke her and I said "why don't you go away and get squashed somewhere" in frustration. I shouldn't have said it, because half an hour later, it happened. Sister's boyfriend's car ran her over. I couldn't believe it
After the MEN'S DUEL I think John Sachs was rather harsh on his criticism of Sam just constantly defending the way he did, he was up against SHADOW after all and literally all you can do with this gladiator is just defend so I think it may have been a fair 5 POINTS for the draw on this occasion!
A fortnight last Wednesday ago we went to a taping of the new Gladiators at the Utilita Arena in Sheffield, we should've gone the Friday previous but the ticket company messed up and the show was oversubscribed. Plus most of the new Gladiators weren't even born yet when this was on.
@@doyouhearthepeoplesing2 - Yeah true I was gutted at the time because I went to see Gladiators the series after she left. Anyway she’s doing well in her life now as a psychotherapist.
I think Hunter and Ace were...! Mind you, on the 25th anniversary of the show, Ace had become a Gladiator for God, his words, and Hunter said he had kept in touch with her
Does anyone remember how long it would take to typical film a while 15 episode season of gladiators. They may have shot some of the Eliminators together for 2/3 shows because it took so long to set it all up?
I grew up in Birmingham, I went to about 5 show recordings. It was about 6-8 hours to film, depending on the events chosen and their set up time. They filmed an entire episode in a single day, setting up all the different events for just that episode each time I went. They did not shoot multiple episodes on the same day anytime I was there.
According to a recent interview with Wolf which you can find on TH-cam they used to film one episode every few days in the early series but in the later ones they filmed 3 shows per day
If Sam had not broke the rules so many times during the whole season of Gladiators then he could have gone on to become the series male overall champion 1994
Why should the others get a look in? Jet and Lightning were the best at the Wall and Hang Tuff.. And Nightshade was simply the most formidable Gladiator of them all.
@@RexBanner_ because no Gladiator is bigger than the show. Scorpio, Zodiac and Falcon were undefeated in hang tough at this time, perhaps they would have been “best” had they been given the chance. This sort of thing never happened again because I’m sure the producers realised it wasn’t a good look to show favouritism.
I'm guessing they gave the points to Eunice because it would've been harsh not to, given how she was only miliseconds away from lasting without dropping it.
Eunice should have received ZERO points in Duel. I was able to stop the playback at 0.1 seconds (on the video replay); you can see the pugil stick clearly out of her hands then. That should have been an automatic loss, especially in the semi-final.
@@michaelcoloradogambler1171 Apparently the rules at the time state the pugil stick had to hit the floor before the clock hit zero not just leave Eunice's hands
@@davidfearis7335 Seems a bit sketchy. I know in the American version, the moment the pugil stick was out of a combatant's hands, they instantly lost the match. And this WAS a semi-final...
He jumped it but when this happened in Duel in some previous episode they simply restarted the game and the Gladiator got a warning that doing it a second time would result in a DQ. As we know they're not very strict in earlier seasons. Not a major issue as it wouldn't have affected the outcome.
I'd drink Jets bath water. What a beautiful woman she was and still is. I was lucky enough to meet her a few years back, and she is also incredibly sweet and friendly and just down to earth. I bet even when she passes wind it smells of Fabreeze 😂
Tyler B have you seen her glamour photos??? Here’s my list for series 3 Actually I can’t even do a list. I think falcon might be in first place if it wasn’t for that haircut. Also depends if you’re including body or not, lightning not my fave but her body...Jesus.
@@minecraftlord568 Falcons hair was so 80's. I thought Lighting was hot af despite me not being a fab of blondes on general, just a personal taste thing. Zodiac was smoking too.
So much for the dead leg .wondered when the female contestant had a gladiator give her a dead leg landing on her and walked away OK. Sam the little man had a bandaged leg thru from the quarter thru the semi .Mmm...
If Penalties were introduced in Pursuit this would be scores for the event. For the Girls:- Erica had 2 PENALTIES but was caught so scored 0 POINTS, Eunice had 3 PENALTIES on The Snake-Beam so would've scored 7 POINTS. For the Boys:- Sam had a Total of 3 PENALTIES on the Snake-Beam (1 for the Falling Off & 2 for come off the Beam before touching the very end) so would've scored 7 POINTS, Phil had a Total of 5 PENALTIES (4 for the Snake-Beam & 1 for Not Touching The Last Rung on The Hand-Ladder) so would've scored 0 POINTS.
Look at the final rope swing through the finish as well. He doesn’t swing, he just takes a diving jump through the finish instead of swinging properly. Actually swinging would’ve taken longer so he gained a lot of time by jumping/cheating. The cheat eventually got what was coming to him though.
Bit of favouritism going on by the producers there... this episode was basically the Jet, Lightning and Nightshade show. Poor Zodiac, Falcon and Scorpio must have wondered what they had done wrong to just appear in Hit & Run. Note that Panther is back on Hit & Run - the semis were filmed the same week as the quarters so that Tilt fall can't have been that bad or she wouldn't even have been on Hit & Run platform!
I think she wasn't allowed any physical contact so maybe she was allowed games like Danger Zone and Hit and Run. during the episode she was injured, the commentator says she wasn't seriously injured.
Trojan was just for show.... he was never great.. and he kept coming back to the legends to try and prove he would get better.. be really is just the pretty face... Raider, Khan , Diesel were better gladiators...
Only reason Sam undeservingly got as far as he did is because they kept playing favorites with him. One of the biggest cheaters to make it throughout the season. Him and 2 Poops continuously got away with shit they shouldn't have. I hope Sam lost in the end. Eunice though, I backed her the entire time
Sam certainly came off the Snake-Beam too early on Pursuit so perhaps should've been DISQUALIFIED However Phil failed to touch the Last Rung of the Hand-Ladder so he should've been DISQUALIFIED too
@@megameerkat2634 It's "you're" you dumb fuck. Also, how is is what he said racist? Because the guy was black? Seriously, get a life. Maybe you're the racist for not seeing how Sam was babied throughout the tournament? I don't believe he was but do you see how dumb what you wrote is now and how easy it is to call someone racist? Stop looking for things to be offended by loser.
@timewyrmrevelations7700 so true, if I’d been whacked multiple times by Nightshade I’d have cried too! Ronaldo cried recently after missing a penalty, it can happen to anyone, Erika was an amazing challenger and she went far!
Loved this programme but 2 things got too much and ended spoiling it for me John constantly using "Arooga" to try and be cool The whole "Wolf being a baddie " terrible acting...and he was a bit of a shite Gladiator too
Jet was always my childhood tv crush, looking back I had damn good taste. What a iconic show btw ;)
She definitely knew how to light up a room, that's for sure....
Oh yeah, back then everyone was in love with her, and 30 years later, I still would.
I watch the videos of this show. I still love Jet! She was my TV crush on the show and I still love watching her on the videos. She was so cute. I still love her. Jet was my favorite!
My hand was always on the move looking at her 😂😂😂
I had no idea Nightshade was such a formidable Gladiator. She was universally feared amongst the contenders.
And fancied by the fans! Well she wasn't exactly fat and ugly was she? ;)
I love Sam. He's such a great guy in this. Wolf loves him too
Pretty sure it was Erica who ran the Eliminator with a mild concussion, she probably wasn't the only one.
PRETTY SURE IT WAS ERICA WHO RAN THE ELIMINATOR WITH A MILD CONCUSSION SHE PROBABLY WASN'T THE ONLY ONE GLORY SENGO.
19:29-Man the people doing the music must enjoy winding Wolf up with his "favourite song"!
He must hate that song with a passion, how humiliating for him! XD
Sam gradually became a fan favourite, the most charismatic contender ever, and Phil was also a fantastic personality. This would have been a worthy final.
this was my fave of all the seasons
666jon agree. I love how Phil at 16.48 talking of the flashback of pyramid, tells how wolf is complacent sitting there like it's all too easy and then is taken out by cobra flying down - that's karma for being too confident!

Notice that Jet has to shout during her interview with Fash after Powerball because the cat whistles are very loud. 😂

"Oh no! The teacher's been expelled!" 😂John Sachs is too hilarious
I remember that too.
i wish they´d bring the show back
They bought it back around 2008 and it was god awful! If they do bring it back again, it needs the classic format
It's back but shit
After the MEN'S DUEL I think John Sachs was rather harsh on his criticism of Sam just constantly defending the way he did, he was up against SHADOW after all and literally all you can do with this gladiator is just defend so I think it may have been a fair 5 POINTS for the draw on this occasion!
If he was against Another Gladiator, then I would consider that a DISQUALIFICATION depending on Sam's Overall Work Rate
Not to mention that Sam is only 5'8 and a welterweight vs Shadow who is 6'3 and a heavyweight. Total mismatch,so he did a great job.
i actually met shadow in real life when i was a child back in 1994
Amazon, Rio, Zodiac , Nightshade, Fox , Rocket and Siren, we're the biggest Female gladiators
Thanks for this :+)

I went to one of the shows last year too, was a good day out.
@@GeordiLaForgery Yep.
'Most of the new Gladiators weren't even born yet when this was on' - you don't say. I don't see how that makes them lesser athletes.
I felt for the female athletes, every event that requires a long reach they get put up against Nightshade, no wonder she won all the time.
good show bring it back
They have, it's on BBC on Saturdays!
Saturday 3rd December 1994
Oof, that interview from Jet was unfortunately very prophetic given what would happen to her.
Why what happened?
She had to retire from the show after damaging her spine on the pyramid.

Duel really wasn't a good game for Phil.
He actually chose to attack if you look. Ducked, caught Shadow on the leg and then went high. The other guy just defended which is far easier.
@@TheDanzomanzo He tried but he got knocked off every time.
Which one of the gladiators was pumping Ulrika?
Hunter
But he's not the father of her baby here.
I think Hunter and Ace were...! Mind you, on the 25th anniversary of the show, Ace had become a Gladiator for God, his words, and Hunter said he had kept in touch with her
@@Tubewings don't think they had a baby together?
It came out that she had a brief thing with rhino too

38:17 Imagine being 5'8", and surviving that onslaught.
Phil Campbell = Richard Hammond!
Panther's first game after her Tilt injury. Despite promising to keep us updated John Sachs provided no information at all.
There must have been a gap between the quarter finals and the semi finals, otherwise Panther is back after just three weeks.
Yes i think there's two weeks between each filming session

If Sam had not broke the rules so many times during the whole season of Gladiators then he could have gone on to become the series male overall champion 1994
The semi finals and grand final of season 3. Or the Jet, Lightning and Nightshade shows. The other females glads hardly got a look in.

Hunter clearly started before the whistle on poll axe.
Yes when you play it in 0.25 Speed HUNTER Clearly Jumped The Whistle
In My Opinion HUNTER Is DISQUALIFIED & SAM Gets 10 POINTS
In my opinion, Hunter did not do anything wrong in Pole-Axe. Once the whistle blew Hunter started up the pole
He jumped it but when this happened in Duel in some previous episode they simply restarted the game and the Gladiator got a warning that doing it a second time would result in a DQ. As we know they're not very strict in earlier seasons. Not a major issue as it wouldn't have affected the outcome.

24:20 When you play it in 0.25 Speed HUNTER Clearly Jumped The Whistle
In My Opinion HUNTER Is DISQUALIFIED & SAM Gets 10 POINTS
Hunter did not jump the gun when the whistle blew in Pole-axe So Sam lost to Hunter fair & square
It depends how the rules were written. Hunter start preloading his muscles 0.5 seconds early but his foot stayed on the peg until the whistle blew.
So much for the dead leg .wondered when the female contestant had a gladiator give her a dead leg landing on her and walked away OK. Sam the little man had a bandaged leg thru from the quarter thru the semi .Mmm...

I def think the pool in the new series instead of the mats would have been alot safer esp for events like Tilt, Poleaxe, Pendulum esp.
No one wants safer 😢

She did Gauntlet which would have been filmed the same week as her Tilt fall which is one of the most physical contact games there was!
Or maybe she's a strong gladiator fighting through the pain.
I don't think the insurance would have allowed her to do Gauntlet if it was that bad an injury. It was insurance costs that KO'd Amazon's career.
or she just walked it off. It's like twisting your ankle. It hurts for a while then it gets better the next day.
