GLADIATORS!!!!

[SarahC]

How exciting, Gladiators is coming back! I used to watch that show religiously, and I even travelled from Melb to see it being filmed at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre. Plus I think I still have the majority of episodes on tape... I have quite a lot of tapes, that I refuse to tape over!

That show is really responisble for getting me started in serious excercising and going to the gym! It is going to be so motivating once it starts

Now my only problem is that the Melbourne auditions are tomorrow morning and...
* I'm sick, and
* I have to go out for lunch as it's my grandma's birthday, I can't show up all sweaty in my gym gear


Did anyone else used to watch it?

Who was your favourite gladiator??

omg i love that show, i had the board game and everything! i used to love how full frontal would make fun of the show and the hosts kimberley joseph and aaron jeffries. i.e.

"tanya you just fell off the podium, was that your plan?"

hahaha laughing about it now.

my fave gladiators were:

vulcan- oh so sexy!
flame- wonder woman she was!

and remember how they combined the english one and australian one for a couple of episodes?!

guess who is joining up as a gladiator

[SarahC]

Cool I would say that if the producers approached her to audition, then it's pretty certain that she'll get in!

1995 it started! That's 12 years ago (wow, I can do maths, knew I got that engineering degree for something ). I was in 1st year uni in 1995

Urgh noooo Jaslyn Hewitt drives me up the WALL!
She did her Cert IV in Massage where I did (not at the same time) and apparently she was acting like SUCH a know it all the whole course! Urrrgh

[Chelle]

I love gladiator that was the best show. i would love to do that but I'm not strong enough

[Playboy_bunny]

OMG gladiators! I loved it! Oh Kate and Vulcan I remember him he was awesome!!! YAYYYYY! hehehe

[sunshine]

I am sooooo looking forward to this show starting and I think my kids will really get a kick out of it. My favourite was Taipan, because he was ALWAYS losing the games to the contestants and HE was supposed to be the professional ha ha ha

Hope its on Saturday night, so it can be a family thing. Gawd I'm boring.

They also had a Tri nations series with the poms and Russians. I got to meet them after filming a show one time. It was hilarious. They had to have their translators there just to sign autographs.

Clearly Tower was the greatest. So easy for a young whipper snapper like me at the time to make a sign. TOWER POWER so simple LOL
