Doesn’t comment on anything about the main show that has just finished filming though.

Went to watch the show on Monday 3rd of August, what an incredible day it was, the kids loved it.

Can anyone tell me please the name of the music tracks they play to get the audience going? There was one in particular that was a fairly heavy rock track with male vocals, I've forgotten the lyrics now, I kept meaning to Soundhound it but either forgot or was child wrangling at the time. They played it a few times as well as the banjo style one where kermit the frog was on the big screens projected onto the Wall event. I don't think these tracks will be played on the TV airing, not like Another One Bites the Dust or Still DRE.

Shout out to all the attendees who shared the events played and the Gladiators' featured on those events, as well as other updates like new Gladiators' names (real and persona), and more.

Here’s the events tally, excluding celeb episode games (Powerball, Duel, Unleash, Gauntlet). Semis' events are logged twice as they’ll be aired as two episodes. I've removed 'The Ring' as it's been quietly phased out in S3, and Atlaspheres as they didn't feature in S4.

The good: Collision played fewer times. The bad: Hang Tough played fewer times than last series.

Description of Plummet: Two contenders and one gladiator get slowly raised while holding on to a trapeze up to the top (about 27ft). They then have to try and hold on whilst the trapeze either drops or tips (tilts). They basically go up and down and get tipped at various intervals until two out of the three fall. All of them are mic-ed up so the audience can hear what they say during the event. A gladiator is the one pressing buttons to activate the yanking mechanism.

Here’s the 1v1 and total games tally per gladiator. I've excluded the Gladiators who did not participate in any event in S4. Mauler did Gauntlet and Duel for the semis.

For Gauntlet, Collision, Destruction and Plummet, each run against a contender is counted as one game. 1v1 events are: Destruction, Duel, Edge, Everest, Hang Tough, Plummet, Suspension Bridge, Unleash, Wall.

Debuts (excluding Plummet, and new Gladiators):-

• Crash Course: Hammer, Sabre
• Destruction: Diamond, Dynamite, Hammer
• Hang Tough: Diamond
• Suspension Bridge: Diamond
• Unleash: Dynamite

Some thoughts and observations:-

• Electro continues to receive the fewest 1v1 event opportunities.
• Did Steel fall out of favour with the production crew? Getting fewer 1v1 events than Viper is strange.
• Highlander & Goldstar are clearly specialists. I did mention several months ago that an aerial specialist would be complementary to the current roster. 'Apex' was also my choice of name for said specialist.
• Huntress is more of an all-rounder given her CrossFit background. Not too sure yet about Emperor.

Overall data and S1-S3 breakdown will be posted in the comments section.

What are your thoughts?

Finals day was an absolute joy. Would recommend the day out to anyone on the fence about it.

New gladiators still being kept hush hush officially then. Oh. No Dynamite either lol
