If the show gets cancelled, then I guess those winners would have to be given a cash equivalent - presumably the same amount of money they're paying the Gladiators for this series?

It depends what’s in their contracts. There is probably a clause saying they get nothing if there isn’t a second series.

I wonder if the success of the UK version might save the Aussie one. As it will show them it can be done well. The damage is probably done though.
