Please keep ALL discussion for these episodes in their respective threads. Sunday, July 7, 2013 - G4 Network9:00 PM - S05, E03 - Baltimore Qualifying Part 1Description: A qualifying round in Baltimore features obstacles such as the Downhill Jump, Prism Tilt, Swing Jump and Circle Cross. Okay thanks to zap it being totally screwed up I'm using the www.tvguide.com/tvshows/american-ninja-warrior/tv-listings/327397 listings and winging it. If anyone sees discrepancies please bring it to my attention and I'll edit it. The whole point is to make sure that we get proper discussion threads for each of the televised shows to help those who didn't want to get spoiled avoid an incident.  This is Baltimore, Maryland Prelims on G4. Please keep this specific prelims on this thread only. Don't bring up other regionals into discussion here. Keep that on those threads. REMINDER: There are people who did not read the respective spoiler threads from when the competition was taped.. please do not include information from that thread here. Stick to the episode shown. Last reminders of course that all of this thread is a spoiler thread for what is shown on G4's broadcast. |

episode airs after NBC ep?... Yeah I have a pic for thatactually I understand why in this case... That way everyone can see that due to friday's unending rain caused runs to start in the day, that way no city finals or maybe vegas (no seriously I forget who ran early and if any made it) profiles/recaps cause confusion

It's extremely confusing because the week right after that they go back to a SUN/MON/TUES set up.. no wonder the G4 numbers are in the tank. No one knows wtf is going on..

Someone at g4 must be upset about esquire and trying to sabotage the rest of g4... That or g4 people don't give a f*** since it's on the way out... Only explanations to how g4 got even MORE f***ed than usual

In the interim though.. ya'll missed an episode this week. There is an Episode 3 that ran on Tuesday for Venice. I'll try to keep up when creating the discussion threads.

Seems the website I used is all screwed up. There will be one on Sunday. I"ll have to find a better website then update the threads.
EDIT: I'll have to find the correct link but disregard below this for now. If anyone can find a full correct list that is not from Zap it I would appreciate it. I'll work on editing this later this afternoon. Okay.. using TV guide but even theirs is kinda screwy.. Still .. it seems to be following the pattern of Sunday G4, Monday NBC just like last season.. however all the websites are showing "new" on G4 on Tuesday to show the NBC rebroadcast... so I'm ignoring those. If something changes (especially those who notice from actually watching the show) please note on the thread and I'll try to keep it up to date. Thanks!

So it was the TV guide that was f***ed and not G4? That's kind of shocking considering which one has the bigger history of being a clusterfuck  |

Actually they are all screwed up but TV guide shows the Sunday dates.. even so.. take a look then hit on each one individually.. it's all over the place. That only shows me that when G4 gave them the list (including ALL of the repeats) it just overwhelmed the sites who have to post all of that extraneous information.

A TV guide error, venice ep 2 was listed as new in the rerun since it was called "new" since G4 hadn't shown it... So there's a ton of confusion in a non-existant ep 3 which is a "new" rerun thing... and so continues the clusterf**k that is g4

From my understanding, isn't the Swing Jump a lot like the Hazard Swing but you jump to a net instead?

Rider, are you off NDA after the prelims or do you have to wait until the finals?

Rider, are you off NDA after the prelims or do you have to wait until the finals? TBH I skimmed the NDA but it's the same forms competitors have to sign. To my understanding the NDA covers anything not yet shown (I.E after this ep airs I'm free to openly talk about qualifying runs shown and how the shown obstacles reacted but can't talk about the rest of the runs in qualifying until that airs or regional finals runs until that airs) From my understanding, isn't the Swing Jump a lot like the Hazard Swing but you jump to a net instead? Correct, also due to how the top of the net is mounted to an overhead scaffolding piece you have to go under the net. But yes, it's a fusion of the Hazard Swing and Jump Hang/Slider Jump/Giant Swing (26 version) |

I dislike that the daytime runs were cut to the point of non-existance, but hey, I did kinda see myself a few times! Course looks great on TV, and the Circle Cross doesn't look too different from testing (aside from switching to ropes which TBH IMO that makes it easier to hold on to) so I don't understand the trouble... Also does anyone know that Syvek (I hope that's how it's spelled) from Laurel MD? I have to find out where in this city that mini Salmon Ladder is. (hopefully another Laurel competitor makes a big showing next year, one who has been on the course but can't enter until ANW6 due to late year birthday lol) |

It looked like it was much harder to go under the Swing Jump's net than the Jump Hang's net (ANW 3-4) because of that steep angle.

Well it was intentionally mounted higher than the Jump Hang's net, as for the climb it's not as loose as the JH looked so I kinda managed to speed through it (then again while I was sorta close to the water with my legs but I stayed dry, although note I'm only like 5'9ish). I might be able to pull off getting some pics from vids with my ipod if you want EDIT: No spoilers from outside this ep Me on it:  Chris W on it:  |
