    It was unbelievable that John came back from out of nowhere in the eliminator. That must have been the biggest comeback of the season.

    A few things to point out.
    First, Maria's Assault run was the first time a contender hit the Bullseye since Billy Wirth did so way back in Season 1. Until they changed the scoring format the following year (where they earned 10 points regardless of where on the target they scored the hit), contenders mainly hit the Outer Circle.
    Second, this was the last time Human Cannonball was played until Season 4. I don't blame the Gladiators for not wanting to do that event.

      They'd get hurt because the contestants would swing and with enough force, bang right into them before knocking them off the platform. No wonder they wanted to put a stop to it.
      8:28 Something I'd like to say to Gold:
      Well, did she make you cry
      Make you break down
      Shatter your illusions of love?
      And is it over now, do you know how?
      Pick up the pieces and go home

      I feel bad cuz the assault in season 1 was so ghetto with no rises to hide behind it was so easy to get hit when you try to shoot. It was so poorly set up like it was put together on a budget of like $50 or something.

    Another eliminator to prove why the head-start system is way better. Either one of the women contenders certainly deserved the win there, but the whole "You have to beat the other by x seconds" is just kind of a buzzkill

    • @tonyt3955555
      @tonyt3955555 ปีที่แล้ว

      also disagree adds more suspense when you see them close and have to guess the seconds. head start makes it less compelling to watch and leads to more the person with the headstart keeps the lead which is boring. the real travesty is Cinda getting robbed by awarding maria 5 points on the wall because she had a weaker gladiator trailing her, making the difference in the final.

    Cinda got robbed, that free 5 points they give on the wall made the difference. Its bad scoring when getting further up the wall is almost always determined by gladitor stregnth like it was there, both should of scored 0 points for getting pulled off.

    Warning- The gladiators and contestants are highly trained athletes and have a lifetime of experience, but they are not invincible. Bodies have been broken, necks broken, concussions inflicted, and careers ended in an instant. Although it is entertainment, the hazards are real, and the contestants and gladiators take real risks, endure unimaginable pain, and put their bodies, their careers, and their lives on the line.
    Don't risk yours!
    Be Smart!
    Be Safe!
    PLEASE DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME, SCHOOL OR ANYWHERE ELSE!!!
