Gladiators (Phase 3)

Has anyone else been watching the just-launched American Gladiators or the succesful UK version?

I like the UK version.

I won't watch the American one, but the BBC one has been good silly Saturday night fun. The way they kept the injured Legend around on series 3 was hilarious.

They apparently filmed ALL of his cameos during the recording of the finale. From following his YouTube channel, he was in hospital for a while and lost a lot of muscle mass.

I've watched the premiere of American Gladiators '26, and its paced far too quick (only three challenges per episode) and the tournament flowchart suggests the finale is going to have 3 male and 3 female participants (am guessing the two with the most points advance to the Eliminator), so curious how that plays out when Amazom fix their "Tech issues" and we can watch fhe remainder.

Announced earlier that Sabre is taking part in Celebrity Apprentice this year.

I wasn't aware of a new American Gladiators, though I thought they'd done a reboot about 10 years ago.

Mildly frustrating that the series was promised at 7am on the 17th, then went to Coming Soon and Amazom CS claiming "technical issues", to suddenly being "currently unavailable in your area" and CS claiming that there were no plans to bring the show to the UK.
