I did notice the off timing of the whistles on The Wall and Eliminator.
I’m not entirely convinced that the whistles are being blown accurately by referee Mark, as John Anderson would use a stopwatch to time the whistles back in the day, and it appears that Mark is doing it blind or upon a prompt.
Overall episode 2 was just as good as ep 1. I do think the poor backing music is still an issue in making the challenges seem interesting and dynamic.
Also, new event The Edge was an odd one. It seemed just a case of contender walking back and forth with the Gladiator usually too scared to do a lot due to the sheer drop. And if the Gladiator found their bravery and tackles the contestant then game over comes quite quickly.
The one contender who slipped through the Gladiators grip and was left on the grid was just left to walk back and forth for about 40 seconds. Rather pointless and dull.
It wasn’t as interesting as previous rooftop events like Skytrak or Pendulum.
