This is it, finale time on Monday! Huge spoiler up on their Instagram, all but verifies a stage 3 complete (which I'm sure happens, due to the ad spoiler for this week).

The fact that the it skipping a rung and still making it is possible was stupid. The gap should be large enough to where that isn't possible...

Note, there was a hint that it's coming back next year. We'll see.

Who decided to upload the runs early on YouTube?

Matt said only 2 ninjas have ever won the million dollars. Going into Stage 4, he said before that night we've had 5 ninjas total in 13 seasons make it there. So...  |

I don't get what the name Patriot Pass is about for the obstacle. Maybe if the ropes were red, white, and blue. The whole thing looks more like a set of fishing reels, or toilet paper rolls.
Ultimate Cliffhanger should've been cleaned up long ago. Random idea - some version of Shattered Panes that goes directly into a Cliffhanger.
Wish they'd use a different color for Eyeglass Alley, like yellow rings so that it all doesn't blend together with the red hooks. They used a yellow ring for Ring Chaser in Qualifiers.
RJ would've been disqualified for not doing the last jump in any other show. Nice that he had the option to skip it here. At this point, get rid of the last jump, or push the landing pad farther away. Maybe just replace the whole thing with Ghost Town or a longer Final Frontier or something.
Was really hoping Nate and Flip also made the Final Stage.

Final time this season doing this. Not sure if I'll do it again next season. Also, "Just two ninjas have won the $1 million on Stage 4". I guess they've officially struck winner #2 from the history books.

I like that we got to see a range of sizes and different climbing techniques. I wasn't rooting against anyone, but I also wasn't devastated when they failed the Rope Climb. This might be messed up of me, but I had the biggest grin on my face after nobody beat it.
The ninjas have had their chance with this 13+14 pair of seasons. I wish next year would be a course renewal, but I feel like the producers want to make Season 15 part of a trilogy to potentially end with a winner, so we'll probably see only a minimal amount of changes again.

Last night did 3,000,000, the second best rating this year. Objectively, this season was a failure. It didn't gain any viewers all year, and continued a disturbing trend of the show floundering in viewership. What used to be a summertime goliath only amounted 3,000,000 twice in a season. Every metric you can think of was down this season. Probable to have another season, but unless an immediate change is made, things will NOT get better. The teenager experiment has bombed.

Anyone notice that Josh levin and RJ who were the first two to climb had some serious slack during their climb? RJ at one point looked like he was getting twisted in it. I think the show might have been worried about multiple finishers and another whole debacle of who finishes it fastest and getting the money. Also does anyone know if the height this year was higher than previous years or the exact same? Is it usually 70 ft or 75ft?

I think the show might have been worried about multiple finishers and another whole debacle of who finishes it fastest and getting the money. I think, if there were multiple finishers at Stage 4, they would split the money. For example, if 2 ninjas achieved Total Victory, each of them would earn $500K. Also does anyone know if the height this year was higher than previous years or the exact same? Is it usually 70 ft or 75ft? The Stage 4 tower is always the same since season 4 - a 75ft Rope Climb with a time limit of 30 seconds. |

I guess they've officially struck winner #2 from the history books. Weren't the two Isaac and Drew? Daniel Gil is a "winner," but if memory serves, that was on the unusual Season 12, and he only won 100K, not one million. Who is the third million dollar winner that I'm forgetting? |

I don’t think (like I’m 99.99% sure) you’re missing anything. I’ve noticed a weird trend where people like to mention how Drew counts/doesn’t count/shouldn’t count where it’s not relevant. Also don’t understand the argument of claiming they should change the number of winners when they don’t even reference him by name. Seems like people getting worked up over nothing TBH. |

The Stage 4 tower is always the same since season 4 - a 75ft Rope Climb with a time limit of 30 seconds.That is not true. Season 8 it was changed to 80 ft, then on Season 11 it was changed back to 75 ft. Actually that 80ft was from Season 9 (remember the one in USA vs The World where Sean Bryan faced against someone from EU team, the course used was from ANW9). That height was kept for Season 10 (you may have seen the fight between who shouldn't be metioned and someone from Australia team), before like the latter of your sentenced, decreased back to 75ft from Season 11. |

That’s one of the things I dislike about the show the most. They don’t really emphasize these changes that a viewer couldn’t tell the difference with. You just assume it’s the exact same obstacle as previous. Same with the ultimate cliffhanger. Might be the exact same layout but the ledges can be different sizes from previous years.
