This Friday, December 27, 2024, as a bonus, TF1 offered a brand new show called Gladiators. A novelty which did not appeal to Internet users, from the very first minutes of the program.
The show Gladiators is adapted from an American program of the same name, launched in 1989. Since then, this game show has been exported to England, Australia, Denmark, Finland and even Japan. For its French version, TF1 decided to call on a trio of renowned presenters. Denis Brogniarta key figure in the chain, is at the helm of this new feature alongsideHélène Mannarinorising star of TF1. Jean-Pierre Foucault is also there, he who has been content for several years to present the Miss France ceremony. “Before answering, I watched the English show and found that it looked a bit like Intervilles, which I hosted for a long time. It is a program for the whole family and This is the kind of program I like“, he explained to Tele-Leisure.
Many reviews on social networks
The game sees great athletes, called gladiators, compete in an arena. Of the various tests allow them to be decided, each round being eliminatory. At the end of the season, the best among them will obtain a golden helmet. Teased for weeks, Gladiators seemed highly anticipated viewers. Unfortunately, from the credits marking the start of the show this Friday, December 27, several Internet users expressed their disappointment. “The credits, what a horror” ; “Are we talking about the credits which are very 80s?” ; “It smells like a flop unfortunately, there are shows of this type that should be left to the Americans” ; “I only just saw barely 5 minutes that I already have want to skip“, we can read in particular on the social network
