This is the same contender who in duel sat there blocking and made no attempt to throw any strikes just to get a cheap 5 points, she was booed by the crowd at the time when she lied in her explanation also, like she did here. So she twice lied and twice cheated in the same show! What a piece of work!

Well again during season 1, the no attack or aggression rule wasn't part of the rulebook at that time. Just as what had happened during that heat's wall event. Luckily John made some changes so there's no easy pass on games. Besides you need to give 110 percent at all events why cheat or look for an easy win? Gladiators is the ultimate challenge.

@@STEJTHEGREATEST Interesting that, as she was always very friendly on all seasons of the show.

@@MysteryManfrom79 Judging by interviews I've heard, I've started thinking Phoenix might've been the scariest female Gladiator of series 1!!!! Seems like she has real life bad blood with Panther, and sometimes I find myself wondering if Phoenix was the one who complained about Jet getting so much camera time, with how she sounds like she was a tad outspoken! Plus, I think I remember reading that Phoenix did martial arts, and once beat up one of her old lovers alongside the lover she actually had at that time!!!!!!!

I think in S1 Scorpio was meant to be the villainess of the female Gladiators, although this was not true in the 2nd and 3rd series. She was often cast as such in pantomimes also, and was often paired with Wolf during the Season 1 promotional visits.

This is disgraceful. I'm going to side with what Scorpio said. She was given a handicap advantage and she still wanted to gain more. She cheated the gladiator and the other contestant of a fair match. Yes, she didn't cheat as she followed the rules but because of what she did the rules had to be changed. Just so everyone knows, in the 2023 Gladiators series, This issue was brought up again (Mainly in jest) for the audiences entertainment but it goes to show that if you shame yourself into a win, it's not a win when the whole world knows you took an unfair advantage to get that win. It's even worse if people are still talking about it 30 or more years later.

You would've thought that the referees and production team would've had the rule about GREASING THEIR LEGS & HAVE THEIR SHOES UN-TIED in place before the hosted their very first show, Nicola Bawden did get away with murder so to speak on this occasion, although in my opinion it wouldn't have made a big difference as to who qualified for the Semi-Finals of 1992 Gladiators so Nicola was still a rightful Semi-Finalist at that point even if the 5 POINTS would've been removed, two reasons why I think this: 1 her opponent Vivian made a right mess of the travelator allowing Nicola to overtake and Win the Heat & 2 because she would've still had enough POINTS to qualify for 3rd Place on the Semi-Final Leader-Board.
