Having just caught up on last night's episode that bit did amuse me, as he broke character.

I think for the next series Viper's character needs tweaking, assuming he's retained. At the moment it's not really working.

I wonder if they'll use clips from a "Gladiators boot camp" as a filler in the next series, as per the 90s series. That way they don't need to rely on the Gladiators 'rule breaking' antics to fill as much time.

Hopefully it'll also get a slightly longer commission. Maybe allowing for two heats to be filmed in a same day, using the same games, even if some of the rounds are shown in a different order.

The second 90s season did lose three Gladiators for the second series (Flame, Phoenix and Hawk), who were replaced by five new ones (Nightshade, Zodiac, Falcon, Trojan and Hunter). The only one I suspect won't be back for series 2 of this version though, is Comet, due to her getting injured.
