Meagan Martin spoilers... there is a video that I'm not sure that I should link that I saw...she obviously finished top 30 in qualifying because it's her failing that 9th obstacle. I typed in ANW 2016 and it popped up, but if you want me to send it to you DM me

Video will probably get deleted soon. Looks like the variation of the Skywalker that people were talking about.

Yes that's the video, I wasn't sure if it would break forum rules or not

THE ONE-LEGGED PRO WRESTLER WAS INCREDIBLE! Also... wrestling. Three race car drivers ran, one of them won Dancing With The Stars. It's cool whenever they mention other shows... would be even better if they mention Sasuke. Anyway, Danica Patrick was there as support. It was funny when Kristine latched onto something Danica said and pushed her to run next year. I like Jake Murray's goofiness. He looks like he's having fun but knows when to be serious. They hashtagged the women's full names, which gave me a little chuckle thinking about how last week they only hashtagged Brittany Reid's first name after she said she was "gonna make sure everyone remembers the name Brittany Reid". I wonder if the Rolling Log is easier or harder with cutouts versus handles. Some hard hits like last year, and a few people even lost their shoes. The Disc Runner is a little weird with that pole in the first one. Strangely, it had a short pole in the obstacle preview at the beginning, but a tall pole for the actual runs. Did they change it after a bunch of runners for safety or something? Maybe in the future, get rid of the pole and decrease the angle of both discs a bit. Also... mini Matt and mini Akbar... Attachment DeletedThe Captain Tornado count is still zero.

I hated the disc I prefered the other balance obstacle in the previous episodes it slowed down way to many competitors. Still not as bad as snake crossing but definetly not up to par as the last two weeks

Attachment Deletedbad news, looks like the mini tramp is back for the hourglass drop. (This was taken from Lorin Balls run.)

View Attachmentbad news, looks like the mini tramp is back for the hourglass drop. (This was taken from Lorin Balls run.) The trampoline is right after the Salmon Ladder into the first board of the Hourglass Drop, then a UB-style transition to the second board (no trampoline).

And IIRC there's a stationary bar between the SL and the tramp.

Finally bothered to watch the episode. I forgot how much I despise the qualifying episodes *shakes fist at editors who digested Ian Dory & Brian Arnold*
The Kacy Count currently stands at 33.

That because they are going to be in the Cities and it gets borning covering the same people in both episodes it is about rating at the end of the day

That because they are going to be in the Cities and it gets borning covering the same people in both episodes it is about rating at the end of the day If that were the case, they'd digest every single finisher in qualifiers. I can understand digesting some runners, and even could understand them digesting PJ Granger, but showing full rookie finishes while digesting half of the Wolf-Pack (well, more like 2/3rds when you factor in that Noah Kaufman wasn't running) rubbed me the wrong way. As for my thoughts, I really only have a few things to say.
That one-legged runner was incredible to see. It's very rare for an "inspirational" run to actually affect me, but that one did.
Lorin Ball's run was insane to see. Almost 30 seconds faster than second place, and that slip-up on the Discs was heart-stopping.
Felt so bad to see Michael Stager fail, but at least he was still smiling.
Forget his name, but that really big guy who bunny-hopped on the Floating Steps? I want to see him again next year, no joke.
Finally, am I the only one who thought Ian Dory looked a little creepy, smiling over Meghan Martin's shoulder after her clear?

ANW casual fans have long been noted they don't like when favorites aren't shown. It's important to get new blood in, but familiarity breeds recurring viewers.

Balancing act and usally we get to see those guys in the city finals. It is a tough balancing act and some fans are going to be upset. I beting we get a full on Wolf Pack flood in the next round
