It's a sad day to see Geoff Britten thrown under the bus today. This is pathetic...

For the record, both men will be on the Today show tomorrow morning. Maybe they can enlighten us further then.

Did anyone else notice in the side-by-side comparison of Isaac Caldiero and Joe Moravsky's Cliffhanger pre-jump technique that Isaac's thumbs were off the ledge and pushing up against the gray flat underside? {Just noticed it now. It was only with one hand.} I think it depends more on the individual whether it helps or not. Props to Joe for trying it the Sasuke way... not that it matters much in ANW if there isn't a rule prohibiting you from doing it one way or the other.

I am very happy they showed Geoff "winning" the show part of me felt that ANW would edit it to make it seem he timed out the final stage tower to avoid fan backless about two people completing all four stages I am glad that didn't happen.

"He [Geoff] got to be one of the first American Ninja Warriors. According to the rules there’s only one winner. We talked to NBC about it, we might make adjustments next season, but we didn’t plan for a second finisher." - executive producer Kent Weed

I'm looking through a lot of the articles that the ANW twitter are retweeting and it seems like Geoff is getting some degree of recognition. He's mentioned and referred to as co-champion on most of them. Hell, a few of the articles went into some detail about Sasuke.

They can do something about it. I am positive they have a way to fix the problem. Have them do a small blip before USA vs. World which as of yet is not aired. It's still an ANW show and historically the ratings are really good for it if not better now that they can market the hell out of it. Take advantage and rewrite a better ending. I think they will be hailed as heroes for doing it. All eyes are on NBC. We'll see how NBC responds. The backlash is real.. and it's not just the hardcore losing their crap. Heck, it just started airing in the West coast.. Tomorrow should be interesting.

anyone else ever get the impression that brent steffensen really doesnt want anyone else to do well, or at least doesn't care when they do? ive seen james mcgrath jumping for joy at multiple people, brent meanwhile has the most forced half smile ever, clapping, maybe saying something totally unemotional like "wow" when the camera is there for his reaction.

I'm still debating if using the gray non-ledge part of the UCH structure as leverage, like Isaac did, is fair or foul. What's not debatable is that ANW screwed it up again. That part of the structure should have been extended further down so that nobody could push their thumbs up against the underside.

By the way, listen to what the competitors and Matt/Akbar say, not what the Ninja Warrior social media pages say. The people who run those social media pages have no idea what's going on and are just getting paid to say as much as possible. Listen to what the people that matter and understand what's going on have to say.

The public could demand to send the new ANW champs to Japan and if NBC has no interest in doing that, the backlash to their denial would be worse.

STAGE 2 - We saw 33 out of 38 competitors - 16 full runs, 1 already-in-progress, 16 fast-forwards - 12 had some kind of profile package (not counting Joe Moravsky). A minor inconsistency with the graphics was with the finishers list throughout the show, they only used periods instead of colons, but they fixed it for the final list at the end of the stage. Just me nitpicking. {FINISHERS} {RESULTS}FF = fast-forward; M = already-in-progress; P at the end = profile piece
Jojo Bynum - Double Salmon Ladder - P Daniel Gil - Roulette Row - P Dustin McKinney - Rope Jungle
FF - Kevin Klein - Rope Jungle FF - Tremayne Dortch - Unstable Bridge FF - Brandon Mears - Unstable Bridge
M - Jamie Rahn - Roulette Row
Grant McCartney - Double Salmon Ladder - P Dan Yager - Roulette Row - P Ian Dory - FINISH 2:16.03 - P Brian Arnold - Roulette Row Travis Rosen - Unstable Bridge - P
FF - Neil Craver - Double Salmon Ladder FF - Dustin Rocho - Unstable Bridge FF - Brian Wilczewski - Roulette Row
Ryan Stratis - Double Salmon Ladder Isaac Caldiero - FINISH 2:04.80 - P
FF - Mike Meyers - Roulette Row FF - Jeremiah Morgan - FINISH 2:11.23
Lance Pekus - Roulette Row - P Kevin Bull - FINISH 2:01.10 - P
FF - Mike Bernardo - Roulette Row FF - Karson Voiles - Roulette Row
Flip Rodriquez - Roulette Row - P
FF - Pavel Fesyuk - Double Salmon Ladder FF - Anthony Scott - Unstable Bridge FF - Abel Gonzalez - FINISH 2:20.56
Geoff Britten - FINISH 2:00.89 - P
FF - David Yarter - Unstable Bridge FF - JJ Woods - Roulette Row FF - Drew Drechsel - FINISH 2:12.48
Brent Steffensen - Unstable Bridge - P Joe Moravsky - FINISH 2:09.59
The five not shown at all are: Jake Murray Sean Clayton Jason Williams Thomas Stillings Nathan Tucker STAGE 3 - We saw all 8 competitors - 7 full runs, 1 already-in-progress - 4 had a profile piece {RESULTS}M = already in progress; P = profile piece
Abel Gonzalez - Ultimate Cliffhanger Kevin Bull - Ultimate Cliffhanger - P Ian Dory - Flying Bar Isaac Caldiero - FINISH - P M - Jeremiah Morgan - Ultimate Cliffhanger Drew Drechsel - Hang Climb Joe Moravsky - Ultimate Cliffhanger - P Geoff Britten - FINISH - P
STAGE 4 {RESULTS}Geoff Britten - FINISH 29.65 / 00.35 remaining Isaac Caldiero - FINISH 26.14 / 03.86 remaining

Yes I thought that was crap since he has made it to stage three is sasuke twice Guess because of the "timing" of Sasuke's broadcast? That's the only thing I can think of since after all, you have to keep mum about what happened during the filming of most shows. It's when it's done after the fact, that's where you can say a lot more. While the taping was already done back in May for Sasuke, the filming for the Vegas Midoriyama didn't finish until late June, when the broadcast of Sasuke was lJuly 1. Can't really say too much until after the broadcast.

When Joe tried to do the 180 move on the cliffhanger they acted like that was a weird way to do it.

Especially since that aired months ago already and a lot of the editing and even some calls are looped in (meaning done in post production months later). They haven't exactly been consistent with that kind of stuff (which usually causes us to go nuts). Just chalk it up to continuity error. But they seem apposed to even mentioning Sasuke. When Joe tried to do the 180 move on the cliffhanger they acted like that was a weird way to do it. To be fair.. that wasn't aired in Japan either.

While there's no mention of USA vs. The World, {there was a Sean McColl sighting... along with Elet Hall lit up like a ghost...}

Well I got my wish I always wanted to see Issac on stage three I figured he would look real comfortable on that stage his grip strength is so crazy and he looks feather like when he climbs.
Congratulations to Britain I do not know how he held on by his finger tips on that fourth bar but it was awesome to watch.
I am glad both made it up the rope in 30 seconds that is a brutal rope climb 75 feet 30 seconds sweet.
The cylinders in stage two where brutal you had one shot on the first one and not much on the second.
