REBEL
COMPETED: 1996 - 1999
The rampaging Rebel, a former international athlete, was a force to be reckoned with in the Gladiators arena. With her positive attitude and loud personality she was unstoppable on Gauntlet, Powerball and Pendulum but especially The Wall in which she was only ever beaten once. How will she cope being the prey rather than the Gladiator?
