Poor Rhyno, disqualified on Whiplash, gets chucked in the middle on Gauntlet and gets knocked out by Carl.

It seems like John favors hunter. Hunter was clearly jerking and seen him do it multiple times more obvious then rhino the first time.

Do you know why the 'Red Step' rule was introduced in Pyramid?

[@davidfearis7335]

In the Men's SKYTRAK THE 10 POINTS PRIZE would've been Gordon's if Cobra hadn't of caught him when he did, he beat Carl to THE CHECKERED FLAG which also told us that he was faster the Carl on The Eliminator, the Head-Start Carl had was crucial for him winning tonight. Was a shame Carl had to retire through injury before the Quarter-Final and that we never got to see him again not even for Series 7 where he might've been a real challenge for Dave Walter!

[@User-3O3]

I love the references to Thomas the Tank Engine in this episode.

[@GladiatorsBoy]

Strange line ups 0n Gauntlet. No Rio or Rebel, Cobra at the front, Rhino in the middle. Didn’t seem to work.

[@mjfitness7896]

I thought the same

[@michaelvidal1971]

Was the line up for the women's eliminator picked to give the contestants a better chance of scoring?

[@davesartbook]

Warrior was more likely to be pissed than injured

[@davidfearis7335]

15:20-16:00 Hardly worth getting the Whiplash carpet after all that. The rules are quite clear the Gladiators shouldn't be pulling back on the Dog-Bone to make the contenders lose their grip while they try to pull the Gladiator out of the circle clearly Rhino was all of those rules and I don't think I seen him that angry before after being DQ. Hunter in the replay clearly did the same thing with Gordon and if all the Gladiators kept doing that tactic, the game would barely last 2 seconds as we saw with Gordon. Good to see John Anderson playing it to the contenders advantage and being completely fair by with both Gordon and Carl 10 POINTS for barely working up a sweat just like the girls at that point.

[@ljgarrison6910]

I dislike the rule, contenders should be stronger.

[@chrislayton4451]

The first time ever that both Gladiators rightfully got disqualified on Whiplash for Jerking Hunter and Rhino

[@davidfearis7335]

On the subject of Carl & Gordon I am glad Gordon was given another chance for the Quarter Finals seeing as he was faster than Carl. If you want prove then look to Skytrak where he would've had 10 points if Cobra didn't catch him and he still beat Carl on that, then in the Eliminator he did make 3 of the 5 seconds head-start and even qualified for the fastest men's eliminator at that point. Also I do think Gordon may have been a little robbed in Pole-Axe the way Wolf lost the event & Carl ended up having just to finish the course for victory.

[@m1a2r3t4y5n6]

I assume form Julie's reaction that Duel was either the 4th or 5th event filmed rather than first.

[@jacobburtonswfc]

It was the 3rd

[@Costas22]

Carl looked like a real favorite to win the title. Shame that he had to drop out.

Match fixing

[@nicoladale1668]

I thought we were going to get the first 0-0 of the series until Gauntlet.

[@davidfearis7335]

Shame with me, they were both bad in the events until GAUNTLET came, but when it came to THE ELIMINATOR, Helen clearly had The Speed Advantage & Julie was the one who needed a Massive Head-Start

[@ashleywallace83]

12:24 fastest event ever? Over in 1 second...the only events that might come close are Duel 1HKO or people that fell off at the start of Hang Tough.

[@markcushines3120]

[@michaelvidal1971]

Was the score for the women the lowest ever. Going into the Gauntlet I thought that they were both going to end up with no points.

[@davidfearis7335]

Wouldn't say it was the lowest ever I have seen a lot worse, particularly in the 2009 UK Revival series where most of the female contenders only scored in one event and I think the lowest scores achieved then were 2-2 on two separate occasions.

[@Gary85Paul]

For the benefit of any American viewers... "No jerking" is not what you think! 😂

[@GladiatorsBoy]

The pulling rule in whiplash for Gladiators was silly. They allowed it in the USA and the event was much more exciting.

[@jacobburtonswfc]

It was to do with an incident that happened in South Africa

[@MrCassiuschrome]

@@jacobburtonswfc well it wasn’t because the South African show didn’t launch until 1999…. 2 years after this and the same year the UK show was axed.

@@MrCassiuschrome They had the Springbok challenge before 1999

They did but Springbok challenge 1 was in the UK and Whiplash did not feature. SC2 was filmed in 2000 again after the UK show had wrapped.

2:27 back to back automatic promotions Uli might I add as Bury went up automatically from what was Division 3 now League 2 finishing 3rd behind Gillingham and Preston and then winning what was Division 2 now League 1 and it was the first time they had been in what was then Division 1 now the Championship second tier for 30 years

OMG.... Helen DID NOT touch the yellow mark on the second seesaw... She should had been made to go back to the start. John Anderson said nothing this week.

[@davidfearis7335]

Sorry G quinn but having watch the video myself in full screen Helen DID touch the yellow mark on the second seesaw. Besides it wouldn't make much difference to the end result if she did miss it because Julie was still on the Cargo Net, Helen was definitely the faster of the two so Julie really needed the head-start points wise.

[@Rex-s3d]

Someone needs glasses 😊 thats you, just to clarify. Oh and it’s spelt weak. Not week 👍

[@davidfearis7335]

Defiantly the shortest event lasting has to be this Skytrak for the woman, pathetic effort female contenders I was expecting more.

[@therebel4332]

Julie threw a strop right after duel so it was over for her then on really lol. I know confidence can go when doing well but there's no respect for throwing in the towel as these two women did after 1 poor event.

It hadn't been set up properly hence the shortness

contestants cheating at gauntlet once again, throwing themselves over the top

[@jonathanhockey9943]

what is this crap about jerking, yanking etc, if you are playing a game called whiplash isn't the whole point of it that you yank on that thing. And how can the gladiator be expected to sit there and "pull" without jerking or yanking when the contender is doing whatever they want, and also he let Hunter get away with doing the same thing as Rhino, very bizarre nonsense refereeing there.

[@jonathanhockey9943]

And why is the contender getting a free pass, past a gladiator when they push him out in the gauntlet all of a sudden?
