Is there anyone else who finds this show as compelling, almost addictive, as I do? I often find myself rooting for guys that I think are cool, betting that they will fall on this obstacle, and picking out my favorite competitors.
How many other people enjoy this cool show? What are your favorite/least favorite competitors?
absolutely love this show, its a great show to watch if you are bored, but i don't think it will ever become a regular thing for me to watch, who knows tho huh, mythbusters sank in...
oh yeah definitely the only good thing about american idol is simon cowell making people cry with you words is impressive but not as entertaining as someone who can backflip three times in the air or pull himself up using only one arm. the guys on ninja are pretty sweet
of course, it's the only reality show on tv that i'll watch... well maybe the amazing race is allright too, but getting old..... but ninja warrior is not even on the same level as that...
I think that's because it's just the right combination of stuff. They have competitors that we find easy to root for, and each year there are new faces and new obstacles. It stays pretty fresh
hahaha no idea who would win next, i'd love to have the time to watch more often, or the cable tv connection needed to get G4, but i have neither, is there a website that posts episodes after they are aired? cause i would love to find that, i have seen only few episodes, i LOVe what i have seen tho...
yeah they are, i wouldn't be able to do any of that, well some of it, maybe, and other parts i'd have an advantage due to my height, but my height would be an issue at other times.... (i'm 6'6").... so yeah kinda handy for the jumps and reaches...
I think I might get through stage 1, but I'm probably just conceited. It's too bad youdon't get G4 with your basic cable. Where I live, it's in the basic package
no i don't even have basic cable.. lol i only have an antenae, local channels only.... :( its really quite primative
i dunno i might make first round, i have trained a little for fitness, cross country, but i have 0 upper body strength, loads of stamina but no strength...
I watch it alot. I really loved the last tournament, where only 2 guys made it to the second round, where they both failed. Even the all-stars failed on the first stage!
Ninja Warrior is now getting to that point where it is so fucking hard it's ridiculous. At first I was all about this show, but now it seems like there will never be a winner again.
Yeah that seems true. But I think they will tone it down if they need to. It's not like they're going to sacrifice the existence of the show for sheer challenge
I think they might stop making it harder, but I don't think they'll ever dumb it down. As soon as some steroid freak wins five years from now they'll ramp it up even more. Then it shall become a contest for robots.
I didn't say dumb it down, I said tone down the challenge. But that is an interesting fork in the road: Should they focus more on the strong competitors and veterans, or should they make things accessible to everyone?
I always thought Yamamoto was going to be the next one, since he's been there longer than all of them. But he injured his shoulder, so I can see him declining like Akiyama
