Jean truly deserved this! Such a beautiful moment between her, her son and husband at the end. One of my favourites in the entire series. Phil was another favourite of mine. Really gave it all he had. Two truely deserving champions!!
Two great champions Phil Norman and Jean Klenk. Jean Klenk, "The Ultimate Alternate", and Phil Norman the martial artist. Two awesome champions. They were more deserving contenders that season. Me being from America, that was a real good final.
Great show! I clearly remembered that my favourite female contender (HGV driver) won the 1993 season. Great little interview with John Anderson as well 20 minutes into this episode :-)
People hating on Georgina is a bit unfair imo. She's just a very young and highly competitive athlete, who is taking part in the biggest competition of her life. She was a great competitor all series and unfortunately had a shocker on the night. I would be as pissed off as she was, but her anger and frustration wasn't directed at anyone else but herself, so I don't see the problem really.
@@STEJTHEGREATEST Oh come on I really think you're reading way too much into it. She was just saying she still had the energy left to complete the course easily. I also think she was recognising that the only thing that stopped her winning was her poor performances during the events and subsequently not picking up enough points to give her a good headstart in the eliminator. Don't forget she was only 19 and spent the whole series talking about how she was a high-performance competitive athlete, so of course she wasn't perhaps as mature as you want her to be. I bet you did plenty of silly things when you were her age too. Give her a break.
@@cdv1qa Sorry. Given that I hardly ever leave the house, you could say I'm quarantined most of my life. My only worry is the supermarkets running out of things! :(
Here's a little guide as to how many times a certain event was played throughout Series 2 (including the Battle of the Gladiators special). The Wall--15 times (all but the grand final) Powerball--13 times (all but Heat 8, QF 4, and SF 2) Hang Tough--11 times (all but Heats 2, 7, and 8, QF4, and BOTG) Suspension Bridge--9 times (Heats 1, 3, 5, and 8, QF 1, 3, 4, SF2, and GF) Duel--8 times (Heats 2, 4, and 6, QF 2 & 4, SF1, BOTG, and GF) Skytrak--8 times (Heats 1, 2, 5, and 7, QF 1 & 3, SF 1, and GF) Atlaspheres--6 times (Heats 2, 7, & 8, QF4, SF2, and BOTG) Gauntlet--6 times (Heats 6, 7, & 8, QF, 2 & 4 and SF2) Swingshot--5 times (Heats 3 & 4, QF1, SF1, and GF) Tilt--5 times (Heats, 1, 4, 6, & 7, and QF3) Joust--5 times (Heats 2, 5, & 8, QF2, and SF2) Danger Zone--4 times (Heat 3, Heat 8, QF4, and BOTG)

In the end, the best man and woman won. Phil deserved it because he was the all around best that season and Jean won because she had the better attitude. Georgina on paper was a better athlete, but Jean handled the pressure whereas Georgina crumbled and sulked. Just for that, everyone was glad she lost. As a whole, the final was a formality. Not much excitement. The semi finals were so eventful, that this was anti-climatic. Phil didn't even get out of 3rd gear to win while Bryan was burned out.
I think Jean VS Helen and Dean VS Phil would have been an amazing finale. I suppose we did get Dean and Phil in the Semi Final but their eliminator would have been an amazing last round.
I don't think he even did Suspension Bridge other than in Season 2, his record was 3 wins and 1 defeat. He became more of an all rounder after this season.
20:04; This shows that John Anderson was just an important part of the show as Ullie, Fash, or the Gladiators, as we get to know the man a little better. Also, notice that one of the athletes he's worked with over the years was Judy Simpson. If that name sounds familiar to you, it's because she was Gladiator Nightshade. ruclips.net/video/TADUZ8hl0aA/видео.html Here's an interview I've found from the 1986 European Athletics Championships, where John talks about Judy's bronze medal-winning performance in the heptathlon, which was her personal best in the event.
Damn! Athletically I thought Georgina should have this one in the bag, but she seemed pissed off all through the night....her nerves got the better of her.
LOL Fash was clearly trying to wind up the contenders after Hang Tough. Telling Brian and Georgina how they could have done with the points when they were both gutted and claiming Jean only had a second left to hold on when it was more like 20 seconds. The contenders did a fairly good job at not taking the bait.
6:04, Fievel Mousekewitz from the 1986 animated film "An American Tail," which was released by Universal Pictures, created by David Kirschner, produced by Steven Spielberg and his company Amblin Entertainment and directed by former Disney and Filmation animator Don Bluth.
Jean Klenk take a bow you wouldnt have thought when she came off the substitutes bench after Lisa Thompson suffered a concussion in powerball in the heats would end up winning the season title phenomenal. Georgina knew she knew she threw it away when the pressure came on she fell apart.
1:04 - Whoops! Member of G-Force just pom-pomed the camera (right side woman)! I'm sure you can see the one behind her laughing too if you slow it down!
Sarah Damm was a worse sport than Georgina in my opinion, also glad Phil Norman won in the end because Brian I felt got away with murder a couple of times in the series.
@@nicoladale1668 Adam Stretton got disqualified for doing the exact same thing in the Season 6 Final but Brian got away with it. Would have been kinda weird to have a rematch with Gary Towers vs Phil in the final, Gary was better at the events but nowhere near as good as Phil on the Eliminator so I'm pretty sure Phil would have still won again. Deano was his biggest competition.
Soooooo happy that Jean won this! That moody cow only got through because the powerlifter was injured in the semi final & fell off the beam. Imagine being a PT & swimmer & getting beaten by a truck driver! Biggest F you ever!
It wasn't as if Georgina lost on the Eliminator. She was bad the whole final through and was only there because Helen fell off the rolling log in the semi-final eliminator.
Like the previous year, both Jean Klenk and Phil Norman went to America soon afterwards to compete in the second International Challenge of Champions (a precursor to International Gladiators, which they would also compete in the following year). Like Vanda and Weininger before them, both were eliminated before the Eliminator, but unlike them, both were eliminated after the same event--Pyramid (which would become a regular event in the UK for Series 3). ruclips.net/video/E9xfSO_zX24/видео.html Here's the first part of their appearance on AG.
For the women's final I wasn't sure who the favourite was going into this. i thought possibly Georgina because she was the fastest of the Eliminator in S2. Jean though was calm and cool and maybe for Georgina wanting it too much allowed mistakes to creep in. Conversely, Jean was consistent when it mattered the most. The mens race was clearer with Phil being the favourite. Brain to be fair had been excellent throughout the series and deserved to finish 2nd. His lower points total in the final gave him too much ground to make up.
Phil was unbeatable in this series, especially when it came to Eliminator. He was king of Gladiators, his toughest test was in the semi (Dean) and he beat him, so as long as he played his cards right he was pretty much Champion in waiting. Funny that the stand in Jean went on to win the whole thing, she wasn't good enough for the start of the show but she end up the winner. Georgina's immaturity and ego got the best of her and Jean played it safe, the perfect winner.
When Scorpio was recently asked on The Glad podcast if there was any contenders they didnt like, she said to Jet if she remembers the contender we use to call Timotel, which Jet said yes. I think she was referring Georgina. Many 35 + will remember the name Timotel was a hair shampoo brand with cringey adverts of girls with incredible blonde hair as a result of using timotel. 😂
@@STEJTHEGREATEST she was frustrated when she lost. Brian was a good sport as the runner-up. That was nice that he gave his prize money to his wife. We had great contenders on my country's version the American Gladiators as well.
The only reason that the two contenders won is because Phil Norman was not made to be sent back to the start for falling at the beam in the semi final eliminator and Jean was a replacement for the contender who got injured in the heat during Powerball anything else then they would never have won
@@Tigermarly1 Even when I watched episodes featured 2 Scoops I'd never seen before where he'd be behind on points, I'd still be expecting him to make a massive comeback and win the eliminator at the end.
Why do you think most women marry men? Back in the 90s especially when there was a far larger pay gap. Men made the money and provided for the household.
