Episode 5: Episode 5

Summary

Bradley and Barney Walsh host the last round of the heats. With five brutal events and the dreaded Eliminator to conquer, only the toughest will secure one of the last places in the quarter-finals. There is controversy on Crash Course, Apollo returns to the Duel podium, and Mark Clattenburg gets a new and not so helpful assistant referee

Review

Michael Hogan

He might have torn his bicep off the bone last week (ouch!) but despite being injured, Legend simply can’t stay out of the spotlight. In the last of the heats, the boo-hiss baddie tries to climb The Wall wearing a sling, insisting that he’s still good enough with one arm. When that doesn’t wash, Legend dons a referee’s uniform to officiate proceedings alongside Mark Clattenburg.

A dramatic men’s clash sees hometown Sheffield hero Sid attempt to complete the Eliminator in one shoe and in the women’s contest, there’s a double fall from the monkey bars and an epic comeback. Next stop: the quarter-finals and another punishing new event. What are the odds that Legend will gatecrash again?
