No Gladiators fix this week? No problem. We've got you covered.
With no TV episode out this week, Jessica has taken it upon herself to do some homework, so she and Emily leaf through The Official TV Companion Book and share some of the best (and weirdest) facts.
Which Gladiator eats birthday cake for breakfast? Why does one Gladiator hate the Gauntlet? And who is a five times winner of the *checks notes* World Coal Carrying Championships?
We want to hear from you! What would YOUR Gladiator name be, and why? Send us a voice note or video to contenderreadypodcast@gmail.com.
