A gameshow is defined by Wikipedia as "a type of radio, television or stage show where contestants regularly compete for a reward", although as far as Gladiators is concerned IIRC nobody won anything unless they won the final, so if you won your heat and got knocked out in the semi-final, then tough. Although on one occasion somebody had an accident in the final and they had to parachute in a semi-finalist in to keep the competition going. I think the prize money was split on that occasion.
However all that being said, Gladiators was revived by Sky in 2008. And the less said about it the better, really.
