I've used spoiler tags, I'm not sure if I need to but it's about who is going to be in the semi finals so if you don't want to know don't click please.

Sadly Cheaty Betti is the fastest runner up and will be back.

That's good, she deserved it.

I think she’s great, glad to see her through!

Good episode. Finlay is a great all round contender. As is Bronte. Nitro is unbelievably fast on the wall. I’d love to see him against Hunter in his prime, keeping in mind Hunter was the only one to ever catch Wesley two scoops.

They need to make it 15 mins longer next season so as not to edit out the comments after.

Also…what is the prize for the winner? If it’s been mentioned I’ve missed it.

A game of Whack-a-mole at Bowlplex.

Bradley and Barney wearing the same suits again. Can't someone get them a change of clothing?!

They seem to put the same gladiators on the same events every time. Athena barely gets a feature.

It also seems like they make up the rules as they go. In the heats, a contestant got taken down in Powerball but the ball didn't touch the ground and they put it in the basket. That counted. Whereas this time it didn't count. confused

I noticed on the Edge game that the netting below could definitely be bigger. When the contestants come off they could potentially smack the metal scaffolding or even drop to the ground. It was noticeable when Finley came off and how close he appeared to be.

That's what I thought when someone fell near the edge a couple of weeks ago. But now I wonder if there's extra netting protection around the sides that we cant see on TV.

I genuinely laughed at that, Legend is a great character.
Now we are getting nearer the finals,the competitors are definitely giving the gladiators a run for their money on some events.
Gauntlet really needs altering. Either a shorter time to complete it or allow the gladiators more freedom.
All in all it's a great TV show and I hope the next series improves on a few of the faults of this one.

Catching up this morning and very glad to see the two winners.

Jake had a whiff of “wannabe reality star” about him, very annoying.

Agreed, not seen this weeks yet but think Comet had done 1 game in 1 show so far in the series before this week

Comet was in the changing room last weekend presumably helping out while injured.

Yeah I noticed that, funny thing is she's actually been out injured and now gone through full recovery and rehab since the show was recorded. Came across her on social media posting about her journey back to fitness since the injury. Quite a big gap it seems between recording and airing.

Recording took place over 11 days in June.
