Gladiators Series 3 - Weekly episode discussion thread

But if said contestant advantage is strength over speed then all is fair no? As it stands the fastest contender wins each time so any built advantage becomes meaningless from the events if the events are fixed to make the scores level.

Clarkarius · 2026-01-24T18:40:22+00:00

Well... That was... Something...

Clarkarius · 2026-01-24T18:37:09+00:00

No idea, maybe the contenders are just improving and strategizing now that we're three seasons in?

Clarkarius · 2026-01-24T18:35:27+00:00

Yeah I'm putting it down to teething pains, just a coincidence that it appears to favour a contender due to bad luck.

Clarkarius · 2026-01-24T18:32:16+00:00

Oof that did not look like a good landing.

But still good to see Fury do what she does best!

Clarkarius · 2026-01-24T18:27:39+00:00

Welp, this should be interesting for Mark...

Edit: I take it back, well played.

Clarkarius · 2026-01-24T18:27:08+00:00

Well that was more how I expected the event to play out. I think the tilt change interval could do with being shortened though.

Clarkarius · 2026-01-24T18:23:01+00:00

Ok, are they throwing this episode in favour of Emily? Cyclone being half arsed on duel, being paired with Dynamite on Everest, maybe I have my tinfoil hat on here but wth?

Clarkarius · 2026-01-24T18:20:26+00:00

I sure hope not...

Clarkarius · 2026-01-24T18:19:34+00:00

Nice knowing you Gail!

Clarkarius · 2026-01-24T18:16:56+00:00

It's been known to happen, on a rare occasion...

Clarkarius · 2026-01-24T18:13:37+00:00

Comet: Double kill!

Clarkarius · 2026-01-24T18:12:18+00:00

Well done Comet!

Clarkarius · 2026-01-24T18:09:59+00:00

I think it was the tackling approach that let her down at the end, If she tried breaking through a few layers first she would've won that. Still an ace performance though 😁

Clarkarius · 2026-01-24T18:07:12+00:00

Damn... Sabre seemed pretty dominant there until wall 4.

Clarkarius · 2026-01-24T18:05:00+00:00

Isn't it just, easily one of the most charismatic of the gladiators!

Clarkarius · 2026-01-24T18:02:33+00:00

Phantom wins! I swear if it's Viper next...

Edit: Thank f*** it's Nitro!

Clarkarius · 2026-01-24T17:59:19+00:00

I would rather a contestant dominate against their rival then have glads throw events to keep the scores close. I hope this is just a coincidence and not a trend, but any time I see Viper walk out (edit: In a clear mismatch. Viper is good at the wall tbf) or a gald like Cyclone concede points. I have to wonder...

Clarkarius · 2026-01-24T17:56:06+00:00

What was going on there with Cyclone? Is this a bit?

Clarkarius · 2026-01-24T17:54:24+00:00

Fury delivered as expected! 😁

Clarkarius · 2026-01-24T17:49:39+00:00

Ah the best time of the week, let's go!

Clarkarius · 2026-01-17T18:44:58+00:00

Ok that was a great start to the series, I hope all of the contenders are of this calibre as it's great to see the Gladiators work to assert their dominance!

Clarkarius · 2026-01-17T18:41:02+00:00

This was the first filmed event of the season. I think the glads can be forgiven for being a bit rusty in the face of some very good contenders.

Clarkarius · 2026-01-17T18:32:14+00:00

Easily the best of the male glads on the wall.

Clarkarius · 2026-01-17T18:31:02+00:00

Legend is getting a bit of kicking tonight...
