---|
In the last semi final, battling for the final places for the Grand Final are male contenders Wesley and Chung, and female contenders Kerry and Marie-Louise.
During the fourth event, Powerball, Chung injured himself and had to withdraw from the competition. He was replaced by Matt, the competitor who lost to him in the heats, for the remainder of the competition. The winners of the semi are Wesley and Marie-Louise. The episode also sees Sabre's last appearance during the series, and Dynamite appearing in 4 different events, which is more than any other Gladiator has participated in a single episode.
NOTE: For the reason of Matt being reinstated following Chung's injury, the latter's scores in events 1 to 3 will be regarded as if Matt were competing.
