UK Gladiators - Series 7 1998 - Episode 1 - Heat 1 - 5th September 1998
Louise Raines (Bridal shop owner from Preston, Lancashire) versus Claire Short (Pet shop owner from Portsmouth)
Alan Forshaw (Lake Warden from Wirral, Merseyside) versus Cassius Frankson (Fitness instructor from East London)
Notes: Powerball has its new rules that were changed in the first Springbok Challenge series: two Gladiators against two contenders, meaning each Gladiator targets a specific contender. It features new theme tunes for all Gladiators and contenders: Female: Sisters Are Doin' It for Themselves by Eurythmics and Aretha Franklin and Male: Let's Get Ready to Rhumble by PJ & Duncan.
Gauntlet has its new point system being changed into a number of points: 10 points for reaching the end of Gauntlet in under 30 seconds, or a point for each sector the contenders fight their way through from sectors, 2-5 if they do not reach the end of Gauntlet in under 30 seconds. But it is in the first heat in an event line-up as a core event and a chest guarded event for odd numbered heats.
New Events: Dogfight and Vertigo, but each of them is played as a split event for all Gladiators and contenders: Vertigo for the women and Dogfight for the men.
The Gladiators casts remain as usual, but Andrew Norgate returns to Gladiators as the timekeeper after the sixth series replaced by Eugene Gilkes.
New Gladiator: Vulcan, who joins the British Gladiators series after his native Australian Gladiators series.
Absent: Cobra and Diesel.

I wish they could bring this programme back!!! In this format

@samabercrombie 4 года назад

I love and adore this show so much and no TV Show today had ever quite come close in my eyes. Ninja Warrior is very good but not my all time favourite. Still trying to workout why people weren’t watching it as much in the last couple of years? Lack of new good games, not as many ‘legendary’ contenders? Too many injuries? I would still love to see a remake for the 21st Century at some point.

It is very obvious that Cassius was in the wrong in Gauntlet. He was past the Gladiator and then shoved the gladiator while the Gladiator was on the ground. John was correct to Disqualify Cassius

@michaelvidal1971 4 года назад

Having looked at it again Cassius' friend was wrong about Alan. Vulcan had taken Alan out of the gauntlet. The rules are in those circumstances he goes to the next section. As Vulcan was the last section this meant that Alan had completed the gauntlet.

@davidfearis7335 3 года назад

Both yourself & @Michael Vidal are correct, Alan was PUSHED OUT rather than taking himself out therefore its 10 POINTS to Alan & Cassius well whether he did shove ACE while he was on the ground I'm not sure, but he certainly should've been long gone into the next sector & not just standing still looking to mix it

@ivaneames4354 6 месяцев назад

The contender only starts from the next section after a push out if there is still time on the clock. Here the time ran out as he was pushed out so the game was over before any restart would have occurred. I'm not saying anyone here is wrong because I think it could have gone either way and I would not like to be the one who had to call it.

Why should he care whether Ace was on the floor or not? If you pass a gladiator then they can't touch you anymore, whether you left them on their back or their feet. He was past Ace and onto the next section. Cassius only turned back to be aggressive.

@bobomb1986 3 года назад

Ace's reaction to Cassius being disqualified on Gauntlet was quite something - the fact that he had the decency to defend Cass because he knew he was trying to regain his balance after getting through his sector - which I don't think was something John appreciated. He certainly stopped Cass from losing it emotionally. The most fascinating thing for me about Ace is how he openly talks about his conversion to Christian faith, to individuals as high-profile as Nicky Gumbel, while encouraging physical and mental fitness amongst those both of faith and not, and of the steroid abuse which took place on the show.

@user-sb2tb9oe7d 2 года назад

Pretty sure all the male Gladiators were on the juice back on the show, Shadow was just the one that got caught. Maybe not Wolf as he always seemed like a health fanatic but there is no way Hunter was able to keep dislocating his shoulders to the point he couldn't lift heavy weights and still be such a beast was not taking steroids for recovery.

@gquinn4159 Год назад

Anyone notice the opening credits? Normally it's boy/girl. But Rio, Siren and Vogue then Wolf last. I don't understand why Vulcan and Diesel were not included. Diesel was in all the publicity photos for the series. If they had been included in the opening credits, it could had being boy/girl order. Even Gold and Fox who were stand-by gladiators last series still made the credits. Producer's had been wanting Wolf to have a bad-boy rival for awhile. Shark was to be a new gladiator in the pervious series. Producer's where impressed with him and was set to become Wolf's rival, but during gladiators event pratice, Shark's came across some issues with his health and couldn't continue. They decided on making Kahn a full time member of the team just before filming. However Producer's weren't happy, the character that had hoped to be, didn't come across in the series and he was axed, despite being a good gladiator with a high win rate. For this new series, they decided to draft in Vulcan from Australia, where gladiators had ended for over a year. Producer's loved the on screen rivalry he had with Wolf in The Ashes and decided to have him as a guest gladiator.

@brentrogers4774 3 года назад

Sometimes the gladiators gets a disqualification in the gauntlet, but that's a first and only that a contender gets disqualified for retaliation. In the American Gladiators, we have 25 seconds to get through the gauntlet for 5 points, and 10 points for getting through in 20. In season 7, We cut the time to 20 seconds. If you got through in under 20, you get five points, ten points if you get through in under 15.

@ivaneames4354 6 месяцев назад

It made it way too easy for the contenders as showed by the girls scores. Once you evaded your gladiator you could do whatever you wanted because you knew the other gladiator couldn't touch you as they could only go after the other person. With three you still had that wildcard to worry about as you didn't know which one of you they were going to mark. There were still great scores during the three gladiator era so it's not like it was too hard and had to be changed. I don't understand why it was changed.
