I know it's Friday, so what? I forgot to post that I'm SO proud of Jessie Graff! That finals course was unbelievably difficult, and she got right through it. No woman has ever scaled the wall in Stage 1, much less finished the course. Fourth fastest of the night out of only 8 finishers. Eight. Last year there were, like, 20. They've got to ease up a bit on these courses. Great run, Jessie. You're fine as hell...

Geoff. Wow. First fucking obstacle, I guess it was too much pressure. I'm surprised I can't find the clip, I'll post it when I do. Again, too few finishers. Season Finale next week! Who do you think will conquer Midoriyama?

yeah, they had (arguably) too many finishers last season so they wanted to make it tougher and maybe went a little too far. from a record high number of finishers to a record low.

but those who made it through are all top notch.

i have a top 5 of who i think may win it all. the bottom four, in no particular order:

daniel gill
brian arnold
drew dreschel
joe moravsky

and unclebuck's top pick to win it all, or at least make it the farthest:

josh levin

that kid is composed as fuck.

Disagree on easing up someone finished and won last year that is not supposed to happen every year, If you actually finish the Ninja course you should be touted as an amazing badass for at least 3 years until some other asshole finishes then it should get even harder, gotta keep the myth of the ninja real bruh.

Looks like you chose well, Drew and Daniel. Poor Drew. Again, I feel the courses are a little too tough. The fact that Drew had those fucking flying bars after the rock climb is insane. It's amazing that he made it as far as he did. Season's over, now I gotta go through withdrawal...

nope, usa vs the world, team ninja warrior, ninja warrior nationals, sasuke in japan. we've got ninjas for days.

i thought the courses were just about right in hindsight. the ninjas will adapt and get better.
