Monday, August 12, 2013 - NBC Network8:00 PM - S05, E14 - Miami Finals - Part 2 Description: Thirty competitors attempt the Miami Finals course, which includes two new obstacles: the Ledge Jump and the Rolling Steel. Going to be using TV Guide and winging it to get the correct dates (especially after the debacle with the zap it website).. This is semifinals from Miami, Florida on NBC. Please keep this specific episode 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.

Is it just me or does Flip actually look VISIBLY more mature from last year to this? Like, first time they showed him in qualifying 4 weeks ago it took me a few seconds to realize it was him. Happened again tonight too which is weird because I knew he looked a little different from before but whatever lol

I'm kind of upset by the multiple people failing the slider jump and being able to continue and make it to Vegas.

Miami had a high failure rate on the Salmon ladder and the slider bar was the other obstacle that took a lot of guys out. This year has been a crazy ride to Vegas.

Miami had a high failure rate on the Salmon ladder and the slider bar was the other obstacle that took a lot of guys out. This year has been a crazy ride to Vegas. That's definitely for sure. With the Slider Drop being as short as it is, compared to the original version being longer, there is VERY little room for error for that obstacle, which in turn makes me wonder about how they gauged their difficulties for each region. At least for the 2nd half after the Warped Wall, it technically gets easier, but of course, still need to be careful with how much energy you have left since the Monkey Peg I know will sap a lot of energy. Guess with the MP as I mentioned, that's probably part of why so many have been knocked out from it, losing so much energy since to traverse "monkey bar"-style to the peg holes is taxing in and of itself.
