Tonight Jeff Chapman and Adonis Lockett were the male competitors tonight, and they started things off in the Gauntlet. There was some controversy when Gladiator Justice held Adonis down after he passed through Justice’s scoring zone. After a dispute with the ref, Adonis was awarded the 2 addition points he would have scored if Justice hadn’t pinned him down.

Christie Philips and Siene Silva were the female competitors and also started things off in the Gauntlet.

The men next competed in The Wall, where Jeff came back, scored 10 points, and Adonis was shut out after being pulled off the wall.

The women then competed in the Joust, where Christie was knocked off the platform in 15 seconds, Siene didn’t fare much better, lasting 20 seconds after Gladiator Crush mercilessly smacked her in the head over and over again.

After that the men competed in Earthquake. Jeff “Big Country” Chapman continued to reinforce Southern stereotypes by talking about mud wrestling contests back home, however, when it was over “Big Country” scored another 10 points after knocking the Gladiator off the platform. Of course, after that was over, he then made a “hog wrestling” comment. Yee-Haw.

Adonis again failed to score any points, after trying to pants Gladiator Militia and falling off the platform.

The women then took on Gladiator Venom in Hang Tough. Christie got shut out again, but Siene, a former gymnast, made quick work of the rings and scored 10 points.

In the final event before the Eliminator, the men took their chances in Hang Tough as well. Adonis was up first, taking on Gladiator Wolf, and he finally gets back on the score board, making it to the platform and getting 10 points. “Big Country” didn’t fair as well, getting tossed into the water just inches away from the platform.

The women’s events were wrapped with Assualt, which still feels “off” to me with the contenders having to load and find the ammo during the event. Christie was quickly shot, scoring only 1 point. Siena didn’t do much better, only scoring 2 points before being taken out.

In the Eliminator, “Big Country” lost his commanding lead after a few hiccups during the obstacle course. It all came down to Adonis and Jeff on the Travelator. Neither man could get up the incline (and I really think this part of the Eliminator needs to be changed - it’s just terrible to watch, and seriously anti-climactic). Adonis eventually gets his footing a few seconds before Big Country, and taking the win.

It should be no surprise that Siene cleared the Eliminator very quickly - making the thing look easy.

So there is only one slot left for the semi-finals.

The current contenders are:

Men:
Anthony
Molivann
Adonis

Women:
Shanay
Siene
Venus
