Credit to the contender - that was amazing!

Wow, that lady prooved to be a really good example. She really hanged tough! I hope she is alright.

Vogue aka Miss Cox taught out here in Western Queensland for a time during the mid to late '90s as a relief teacher. She usually taught at both Augathella and Morven.

I was watching the new 2023 version and noticed that Sabre still held onto the rings even when she caught the contestant with her legs. I'm certain that what happened to poor Pauline here weighed in to the formation of this new safety rule.

Always sad when such a tough contender gets injured. On another note. I preferred the Gladiators custom outfits from earlier seasons to the ones they ended up with here

this is hang tough at it's best, when there's tactics and sheer endurance going on :]

Man I wish they showed this in the stares back in the 1990s when I was a teenager in 1998-1999 I would have stayed up late to watch it Saturday night with my dad Vogue was a babe back then

I'd have loved to go up against the gorgeous vogue...😍😍

No no John, that's not a smile.. that's a grimace

Wow, super impressive

I think once the gladiator locks onto a contestant, they should not be allowed to jump up and down or to put all of their weight on one of the contestants shoulders. It is to harsh and leads to injuries like this. I think that the once the gladiator is fixed to the contestants mid-section, they should stay still and if the contestant has the strength to hold onto the rings for the remaining time then they should get some points.

One of the strongest ever contenders. Who badly got injured after Vouge landed on her back.

Name of the game she really hanged tuff fair play to vogue for helping her after she was injerd

Something about the arena looks incredibly different from a 1995 clip I just watched. I don't know what it is though. Anyway, back on topic, WOW! That woman is absolutely incredible. What actually happened to her, does anyone know? Did she come back to compete?

31st October 1998

She was my first gladiator crush

vogue was gorgeous , plain and simply , no quibbling - gorgeous !

Yet the contenders would get a earful if they hurt the gladiators. I remember one female contender on hang tough who 'pushed' the gladiator away when they went to grapple her, the gladiator fell after losing her grip but the referee disqualified the contender for an 'illegal move'. There's talk of bringing this back in 2023, if they do they I think the contenders should be able to defend themselves more because if the gladiators can grapple and tussle then so can the contenders.

What injuries did Pauline receive?

The excess stress on her arms/shoulders. This lady I remember was a strength athlete or something, but sadly this effort ended her time on the show

I wish Vogue would be me in those body scissors.:)

i remember when one of the females had her shorts pulled down on this event

pauline looked like the squeeze was hurting her, but she's tough

How could you not get injured doing this shit? Was it really just the landing? I mean she was being seriously abused up there, granted she was continuing to volunteer for it, unless she couldn't let go? Doubtful. She didn't have hooks for wrist grips, or did she?

I don't get it!...if you know that holding that much weight on your body/arms is gonna affet you and may take you out of the competition altogether...why would you risk it and hold on for 5 points...i know she needed/wanted the points but...if holding on is gonna result in having to leave the competition altogther their was no point in holding on!...i know she didn't know for sure that she might get hurt but...she had to have felt pain after a llittle while!

right on dmraider. I honestly wondered if the female glads ever got turned on by doing the body scissors...

@britneywannabe pride

Fucking stupid event - having somebody hang on you and try to pull you off - I'd like it better if you could kick the gladiator - but couldn't there be some sort of race, or distance you have to complete. My girl is incredibly strong, though - can you imagine holding someone of roughly equal body weight who's jumping up and down? Really incredible strength. Try hanging by one arm and pulsing your weight up and down. For, what was that?, 20 seconds or more?

I would have given everything to do a dirty fozzie on vogue and jet back in the day.
