Michelle was felled by Destiny on Duel and was scoreless.
Michaela
Amazon took her out on Duel and she received no points.
James
Kouta made him hit the mat quickly in Duel.
Simon
He became another notch on Tank's belt on Duel and was pointless.

A flurry of blows saw both Female Challengers knocked from the Duel Podiums and hit the mats scoreless. So Michelle continues to lead Michaela 10-0.
The Guys like the girls were no match for the Gladiators on Duel and they came away scoreless. James remains ahead of Simon by 10 points at the half way mark.

Game 4 PYRAMID
First Challenger to the top of the Pyramid gets 10 points... Second to the top - 5 points... If you don't make it you get zero.

Michelle
An infringement by Viper on Pyramid saw Michelle collect 10 points.
Michaela
Olympia stopped her in her tracks on Pyramid leaving her scoreless.
James
Scar proved too big an obstacle for him on Pyramid and he failed to score.
Simon
Outlaw kept him from the top of Pyramid which kept him scoreless.

Score
A penalty saw Michelle pick up 10 points on Pyramid while Michaela was kept from scoring. This leaves Michelle on 20 and Michaela scoreless going into the eliminator.
The Male challengers were no match for the Gladiators and they left the Pyramid empty handed. James remains on 20, 10 points ahead of Simon.


Eliminator
Despite her 10sec disadvantage Michaela powered through the eliminator to overtake and defeated Michelle with a time of 1.26.87. James suffered an injury on Pyramid which stopped him competing in the Eliminator and allowed Simon to go straight through to the Quarter Finals.

What a sad show tonight, you matched up a mother that was 34 who had 5 children with a 20 year old women,what was your producer thinking of,your show is not fair,why di'dnt you put Michelle with a women that was a bit closer to her age.Michelle was the winner tonight.Happy Mothers Michelle well done
4. geraldine_cmpbll - May 11 11:31pm

Hey how come Simon hasn't got a photo up yet? I don't think the episode was sad. I was expecting Michele to win to the point of almost going to make a cuppa straight after they announced that the mens eliminator wasn't going to be run. I hate knowing the ending. Don't be so agest. 34 is not old!!!

well done michaela u did a great job to last night
7. geraldine_cmpbll - May 12 09:07pm
I did'nt say 34 was old,but having 5 children and a full time job in the fitness industry I'm sure would be very tireing.I thought Michelle was GREAT.

I really don't like the fact that a challenger can be, ok lets face it, not exactly the best challenger we've seen, and all they have to do is run the eliminator and get through. I will comment that you really noticed Michaela's age, she came across very young with her comments. Michelle was good TV

PS. How slow was the travelator for the women Sunday night!

Oh dear, aussie_chick7986
I would have to disagree. In fact I was rather surprised at her language. Entirely more wiser than my daughter and son of similar age. I shudder to imagine what they would say if ever confronted by the same situation!
