Poor Yuuji is getting flustered. He didn't know G4 was splitting up the runs. He's now excited for Sunday's USA broadcast

I think it means he's getting excited to see the runs that didn't get to the TBS broadcast but were on G4 looked on TV, and the thrill of finding out who made the cut. He probably recorded the tbs broadcast

Actually neither.. as far as he knows the American's haven't seen his run (only the hardcore saw it but it wasn't "officially" aired in the USA until now.. which in essence.. he's right) and thus don't know the ending to the tourney He's just hoping for some good news even if it comes from across the world. To my knowledge he hasn't seen the broadcast at all just knew that the final wasn't shown.

Ah, Well that's possibly a reason too I wonder if he knows how many people in america unofficially saw it.

After all we all tweeted him congrats when he got on twitter And since then he's been sent messages. Though honestly you are correct.. he might not know how MANY for sure since outside of now there was very little way of contacting him. Ever since M9 went down it's not like people could write to him.

Oh I'm sure he knows he has plenty of fans here in the US, I was referring to how many exactly, not all of them are going to write to him or even consider that they could.

Why is that a surprise? I wonder what went wrong? Maybe they should have shown with EVERYONE including Americans who did so well.

If anything, separating the Americans from the rest of the competition allowed them to have two high rating events instead of one. Unfortunately, G4 is one of the (if not the) least watched cable channel and they're never going to get high numbers.

Pretty much, G4 needs to fix the problems with themselves before they can work on ninja warrior to get better ratings... They're so bad in ratings some providers are dropping them for being so bad (At least DirecTV did)

I wouldn't be surprised if G4 is the world rated TV station in the WORLD (or galaxy).

Unfortunately, G4 is one of the (if not the) least watched cable channel and they're never going to get high numbers. Actually I disagree. First. The wait killed the ratings. They could have piggibacked off the ANW broadcast straight into NW27 and built up the audience by having both in the same program. Granted ANW3 ratings even on G4 did not reach that one episode of ANW2's premiere so this is almost a moot point.. but in terms of comparison with previous "G4 ratings winners" this is still their highest rated show since they barely produce anything else to begin with. As for NBC's broadcast, regardless of that one NY Times article said (and even then that didn't even mention that the rating itself was actually good, it just said NBC sucked all summer and ANW was the only one that didn't suck as much).. ANW4 on NBC did horrible. All the industry stuff said so and K-Swiss not coming back was a damning statement. They lost an obscene amount of money. That said NW27 would have at least matched the ANW numbers right out of boot camp and still at least kept the 0.1 rating and posting on the Sunday cable ratings. My guess is that they would have seen more if that happened since it also encompassed the Sasuke fans that boycotted ANW anyway... but then NBC wouldn't have had anything to show.. I'm curious what Sasuke and not ANW 10 only would have posted if given the chance. Second - doing almost no advertising (by comparison to the ANW onslaught even on the G4 network) to tell people NW27 was even coming to TV. I wasn't surprised they didn't even post on the Sunday cable ratings. That's how it usually is. I checked anyway because now that we can readily find it.. it's best to try to look for it for sanity's sake. I'll check this Sunday since it's the final 3 stages anyway. It's obvious they really don't care about NW at all anymore and it's relegated to "whenever" on their own network. ANW is now king and that's all they are ever going to put any effort in. But we know that's a dead horse we all keep beating on I just feel frustrated for the rest of the world that had to wait until this broadcast aired just to buy the damn thing. IF they are going to buy it at all. UK is literally the only one interested right now.

Which has yet to air. I hope it airs before season 2 start. Lucky for them, they have guarantee to broadcast NW27 (SASUKE 27 without 9 Americans who did so well). I hope? I feel bad for rest of the world for not buying it.

I can't stand the G4 broadcast at all. I really liked 27 presentation wise, from the SASUKE wipe to the little portraits of competitors next to their names. (Yuuji looks like he just got up in his...)
This also reminds me a lot of older tournaments, where craploads of people clear stage 1 and then get relatively deep into the course. I really would have loved to see Brent, Stratis, and the other Americans with the Japanese commentary because as I've said infinity trillion times, Iseman and that other douche make Wataru O. sound like a poet. G4 can stick to original programming lol nope 24 blocks of Cops and Campus PD.
The only thing I'll give G4 credit for is it seems like the NW broadcasts are smoother than the TBS ones... but I think that's a technical issue.

I vaguely remember Sasuke Malaysia was the first exposure over there wasn't it? Or am I remembering wrong?

What I meant to say is that SASUKE Malaysia "season 1" is connected to SASUKE 27, since winner get to go to Japan to compete (Cat). I'm not so sure what "season 1" broadcast is going to be like, but it probably show something like having 4-6 episodes of trial (Day 1+2) at Malaysia, and then broadcast NW 27 (SASUKE 27 without Americans who did well) as "season 1" finale. I HIGHLY doubt they would do something like ANW "Final" (SASUKE run without Japanese), where they would just show Cat's run of SASUKE only and delete everyone else (Japanese, Americans, etc.). Since, Cat didn't went that far.

Even G4 didn't do that in the days of the American Ninja Challenge, they just put all the winners in the Ninja Warrior Broadcast until Sasuke 23 when they had 10 (The start of American Ninja Warrior)
