Gladiators viewers have complained a classic challenge is ‘easier’ in the BBC One reboot than it used to be on ITV.
Fans watching Saturday (January 27) night’s episode of the sports entertainment show hosted by Barney Walsh and Bradley Walsh complained on social media how they felt the Gauntlet game should be canned.
“I don’t remember the Gauntlet being this easy #Gladiators,” one onlooker pondered as contestants Bronte and Alex speedily eluded the Gladiators attempting to halt them in their tracks.
But they both sprinted through the passage in which Gladiators are armed with pads to prevent the contestants dashing past the finishing line.
“Like a knife through butter,” Alex later celebrated.

Finlay also emerged victorious as the male contestants stepped up for the Gauntlet. However, the male Gladiators did enjoy some Gauntlet success by squashing contender Ash. Overall, however, fans were not convinced.
“I’m loving the new #Gladiators but gauntlet is way too easy this time around,” wrote another viewer on Twitter.
