It is notable that in the quarter-finals, there has been an increase in antics by the Gladiators on Gauntlet, almost like they are trying to make it more entertaining.TV listings mention that Hang Tough will be on next Saturday's episode.
The Edge is also 50/50 whether it is good or not.
Some games are appearing less frequently than others, in particular Hang Tough and Collison. That could be a more complex set up for those two, but Hang Tough (only appeared twice) hasn't been seen since episode 4, the last apearance of female Gladiator Comet who apparently sustained her injuries on that event (it hasn't been refenced on the broadcasts and she walked away fine in what was shown).
Two really minor things I have noticed. In the heats, the contestant was always on the camera right podium on Duel, but they has swapped to being always camera left for the quarter-finals. And it is always Barney doing the interviews from the top of the Wall.
I've noticed some events are mutually exclusive and never appear in the same episode - Hang Tough and The Edge being one such pair, presumably because both events use aerial rigging.
Powerball and The Ring haven't been used in the same episode either, presumably because they're pretty similar.
