I'm about 97% sure that's a tester we're seeing on the Ultra Crazy Cliffhanger, in fact he has the same logo on his shirt as the tester from 28 they showed so that can't be a coincidence, I assume it's some kind of company involved with the building or something It does look a hell of a lot like Ryo tho

5. Oklahoma. Way too difficult, and the Log Runner seemed similar to Snake Crossing last year, with a boring Ring Swing and confusing Bar Hop. 4. Philadelphia. Exciting to watch, but again way to difficult, with the jump and pray obstacle's trampoline back as only the 4th obstacle, and an even more unfair obstacle for the 5th, with anyone under 5-4 being f***ed for the reach. Also last obstacle I wanted back again this year was the Log Grip. 3. Indiannapolis. Didn't want to see the Rolling Log back again, they should have kept the pole out of the Donuts, with maybe a wider platform, and they should have kept last years Swinging Spikes, as this year's was simply a mess. 2. Los Angeles. Nice obstacle concepts, but was just really boring to watch with how slow the course ran. 1. Atlanta. Did have wtf obstacles like the Pipe Fitter, but watching people like Drew and Cow Man race through the course was reallly exciting. They should try and make more fast-moving courses like that.

Kinda surprised they didn't show him like they did Brian Kretsch last year, but maybe it was gruesome Kretsch is a vet since season 1 and carried on, I assume Jonathan ended his run right there considering the course, they don't show those typically, I remember a similar case where a Harlem Globetrotter (Jet I believe was his name?) breaking his ankle on the Prism Tilt in Baltimore for ANW5 and wasn't shown, seeing it in person that was probably a good thing, he just had to roll onto his back and they had to get help lowering him down onto the pads and pull a pad out to stretcher him off Okay, in any case if he broke his femur there he most likely fell in the water.

Even if they reach the ulimate difficulty possible at some point, they can always add new, equally difficult obstacles. Just putting in new obstacles can be enough of a challenge in itself, and even though the difficulty isn't going up, competitors will struggle until they figure out how they work.

I think watching the Giant run is the most exciting thing. Too bad they didn't upload that. I'd love to see him take on Vegas Stage 1.

I didn't catch the guy's name, but he had his hair cut to look like a squirrel (even had googly eyes glued to his hair where the "squirrel's" head would be. EDIT: Found a pic of the guy: link Pic #20 of 36. Kinda surprised they didn't show him like they did Brian Kretsch last year, but maybe it was gruesome

What with him being digested and not advertised at all, he might go out on the 8th. Josh Levin was digested too. He was cut (I think?) but then again no one knows who he is.

Expecting Flip and Josh Levin to finish, the Bull and Jessie to make it to the Invisible Ladder. What about Coolridge? What with him being digested and not advertised at all, he might go out on the 8th.

I'd like to come into my first guessing game thinking I can just blow everyone out of the water, but that's probably not the case, even though I went back and watched Sasuke 31 to judge returning competitors abilities. Stage One: 16 Stage Two: 7 Stage Three: 0 Final Stage: 0 #1 Saito Tsukasa: 1 #2 Inomata Sho: 1 #3 Katsuhide Torisawa: 1 #4 Hasen Kuniyama: 2 #5 Masaya Yamagishi: 2 #6 Yuta Yamashita: 1 #7 Kazuki Kono: 2 #8 Keita Hamada: 1 #9 Ryoji Mizuno: 1 #10 Hirohisa Ota: 1 #11 Ryoichi Tsukada: 5 #12 Shinji Tamura: 1 #13 Toshinari Fujioka: 2 #14 Kennin Nakamura: 2 #15 Masahito Aihara: 1 #16 Yuichi Mizunoya: 3 #17 Ryo Horiuchi: 5 #18 Shingo Yamazaki: 3 #19 Mikio Yoshida: 2 #20 Ryota Watanabe: 2 #21 Simon Okura: 7 #22 Hideaki Kato: 2 #23 Kotaro Koga: 2 #24 Ryo Ozaki: 5 #25 Yohei Inetsuki: 2 #26 Tsubasa Ogasawara: 4 #27 Yusuke Kato: 3 #28 Takahiro Hida: 5 #29 Jun Akiyama: 1 #30 Kane Higuchi: 5 #31 Masashi Hioki: 16 #32 Shinji Matsubara: 1 #33 Hiroshige Yamamoto: 9 #34 Hitoshi Obata: 5 #35 Shogo Ugajin: 2 #36 Mitsuhiro Kunihon: 2 #37 Takayuki Hikawa: 5 #38 Tomohito Okaro: 2 #39 Kentaro Miyagawa: 1 #40 Kenshiro Togashi: 5 #41 Can Yutaka: 4 #42 Tatsuya Tanimoto: 2 #43 Gishi Hokama: 7 #44 Takayuki Igaki: 2 #45 George Amano: 3 #46 Keigo Takahashi: 5 #47 Shuta Nishimura: 2 #48 Reino Shimamura: 9 #49 Ryuji Wada: 2 #50 Kota Ibushi: 9 #51 Kacy Catanzaro: 9 #52 Ami Imamura: 2 #53 Reika Saiki: 2 #54 Sayaka Tomaru: 1 #55 Haruka Futamura: 2 #56 Mika Watanabe: 3 #57 Yui Uo: 2 #58 Grace Mineta: 1 #59 Kaho Takada: 3 #60 Maya Shiromuko: 3 #61 Reina Akiyama: 4 #62 Brent Steffensen: 20 #63 Peindante Shonosuke: 5 #64 Yuta Nonaka: 3 #65 Yuki Tsuruta: 4 #66 Yusuke Suzuki: 5 #67 Yoshiki Yamaguchi: 7 #68 Koji Yokouchi: 5 #69 Kouki Nakayama: 4 #70 Perry Oosterlee: 16 #71 Shinichiro Narita: 2 #72 Naoyuki Araki: 5 #73 Hara Sasaki: 2 #74 Daisuke Matsuda: 4 #75 Kung-Cheen Howng: 16 #76 Jun Sato: 7 #77 Yuta Takiguchi: 7 #78 Masamitsu Kikuchi: 5 #79 Torataro Taniguchi: 2 #80 Kouki Akiyama: 9 #81 Takeru: 9 #82 Wataru Mori: 4 #83 Naoki Ihara: 2 #84 Wangyang Zhang: 9 #85 Andre Sihm: 16 #86 Liao Long Zhun: 1 #87 Shunsuke Nagasaki: 20 #88 Shinya Kishimoto: 16 #89 Yuuji Urushihara: 16 #90 Ryo Matachi: 16 #91 Kenji Darvish: 12 #92 Kenji Takahashi: 9 #93 Drew Drechsel: 20 #94 Anastase Ragivaru: 18 #95 Kazuma Asa: 20 #96 Hitoshi Kanno: 20 #97 Tomohiro Kawaguchi: 20 #98 Toshihiro Takeda: 7 #99 Shingo Yamamoto: 7 #100 Makoto Nagano: 16 Golden Competitor: Drew Dorrescherruru.

The team challenge gives us a chance to see how guys who might never make it to Stage 2 or 3 would do on those courses. So, it's not totally useless.

He needs to learn that if life kicks the s*** outta you over and over again, you just gotta get back up and keep going after it even harder. This reminds me of Flip Rodriguez and David Campbell. Heartbreaking exits in a row, and all they did was get back up and keep trying. He's taking the p**** way out.
