Australian Gladiators 1995 S01E12

[@johntziannis1134]

Thank you for uploading. I miss this show!

[@michaelvidal1971]

I note that Taipan and Fury come out together at the start. I was reading that they are married to each other.

[@cassandralovessjmheapswrat902]

Yes its true not sure if their married still

[@brendanwilliams7291]

Vulcan was the best in the business, a very hard nut to crack but always the showman. A bit like Thunder was in the 2008 series.

[@drewconway7135]

I’m guessing this is the episode that resulted in the rules for Hit and Run being changed. To me, it would have made more sense to use a flat beam and have less clearance between the balls and the surface… but that’s just me

[@ashleywallace83]

Force was hospitalised in the previous episode yet runs out at the start...either the runout is pre-recorded or this episode is out of order.

[@Aukon]

I noticed that too, you'd imagine the runout is from a different time. Normally he'd make an appearance on Hit and Run, if nothing else.

[@davidfearis7335]

I reckon it was pre-recorded, but usually Injured Gladiators can still take part in HIT & RUN seeing as they are only required to Swing The Demolition Balls

[@DamienDrake]

I was sooooooo glad to see Fernanda win this round. Usually the tiny women get the hell knocked out of them and she certainly is the tiniest so far to my recollection. It was painful to see Tania's attempts at the travelator though. You could tell she was in pain.

[@michaelvidal1971]

I think Bernadette who went onto win was smaller.

[@IPlayPianoInMyPjs]

Pyramid has to be the most difficult of games....

[@StFidjnr]

S01E01 shows the proof of the pudding

[@drewconway7135]

I think so, too, but IMO it also looks like the most fun. Those flying leaps that Hammer takes are legend

[@drewconway7135]

I should also say: I think Pyramid is lots harder for the women than it is for the men, since they are usually much shorter. There are some events (especially Duel and Suspension Bridge) that I think are harder for the men

[@Aukon]

Fernanda and Tania are my two favourite girl contenders from the first season I think, shame there could only be one winner here.

[@jacobburtonswfc]

Fernanda is lovely

[@rebeccaarthur3254]

Don't know why when I was younger I thought taipan was cute

[@davidfearis7335]

27:06 NO SCORE HERE HOWARD MUST TOUCH THE BACK RAILING FOR THE CROSSING TO COUNT

[@swift_aus]

47:06 wow what a time 50 seconds

[@lachlanpattersongameshows]

That’s the fastest Eliminator time so far on Australian Gladiators.

[@RETINA8719]

That point at 16:08 thought the contenders tits we’re gonna pop out. Surely there must a rule not allowing gladiators to pull on clothing on contact games like Pyramid, Hang Tough, etc

[@ashleywallace83]

Custom video replaced the beeps with annoying sounds for the countdown clock this episode.

[@PalZer0]

I suspect they forgot to mute the sound effects.

[@cassandralovessjmheapswrat902]

Go hard or go home from cougar thats a good quote

[@davidfearis7335]

36:57 If Howard Scored With THE WRONG COLOURED BALL before he was Grounded, if may have been 2 POINTS to Rhett!

[@magicalsenshi8685]

Or they would've disallowed it altogether, even if it wasn't grounded.

[@andysee6996]

That did happen with Tim Goldrick and Mark Ortega in the third season of American Gladiators. If Tim didn't score with one of Mark's balls, he likely would've won that episode.

[@beng1603]

Isn’t the game supposed to stop if someone loses their shoe?!

[@drewconway7135]

I thought so too, but in another episode in Series 1 one of the male contenders loses his chest armour in Gauntlet and the refs let him keep going. Seems like anything goes 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@jacobburtonswfc]

Definitely would if they lost their knickers

[@davidfearis7335]

46:50 Rhett touched The Static Section of The Travelator with his feet so surely this should've been a rematch!

[@magicalsenshi8685]

The rules were more relaxed when John Alexander was referee. It's more than likely that contenders would've had to have gone back to beginning of the Balance Beam if this happened after Mike Whitney took over as referee in Season 2, as rules became more stricter then.

[@davidfearis7335]

@@magicalsenshi8685 Maybe that's why John Alexander didn't last too long compared to Mike Whitney

[@magicalsenshi8685]

@@davidfearis7335 Interestingly, that wasn't the case. John Alexander was unable to return due to his commitments to Wimbledon (as a commentator).
