You know what would be hilarious? If Sara Jean Underwood beat the first stage. Some of you would have to put your foot in your mouth.

Some of you would have to put your foot in your mouth. Would rather put my foot in SJU's mouth. Actually, scratch that; my feet are gross. Here's my problem with any arguments of this nature: we're talking about a TV show. It's designed to be entertainment, nothing more. Hell, half the show runs on schadenfreude. Granted, my definition of "entertainment" may differ than others, but I can't really argue that this is inappropriate or disrespectful or anything like that. I have to imagine Ms. Underwood has some athletic talent, even if it's just jogging daily. Maintaining a figure takes work, and probably more than just diet.

I guess since Sara hosted that Boothbabe special and she guest hosted Attack of the Show for a week (or almost) I didn't know this. Actually, in my mind, that makes her going okay. It gives a chance for a new connection between G4 and Kunoichi that can be handled more as a "hey, the Americans sent a celebrity" situation. (Yes, we're working under Japan's more lax celebrity definition at this point). This could open the door for a real competitor or two maybe for Kunoichi 9 if it goes well (not to say Sara isn't one... I certainly hope she does very well)! This could end up being a very good thing.

Everyone keeps referring to the water as muddy. Isn't it just dirty? I haven't seen any competitor come out of the water caked in mud. On a side note, wouldn't it be funny if they brought back the infamous Falling Pole from Kunoichi 6? If they did and put it early enough for Sara to reach, I just might have to reverse my judgment against her. That's one obstacle replica she's practiced on for hours... Sorry Arsenette, I couldn't help myself...

Sorry Arsenette, I couldn't help myself... lol, this thread is funny, starting to become speculation but w/e My thoughts on SJU, is that from the night photos she's taken there is evidence she could have passed the 1st stage, it's definately to early to write her off. On the crossed arms pose I wouldn't fault her too much, I mean she hasn't been to a Sasuke before and I highly doubt she's watched either enough to know the pose. I agree that Luci going could mean better results but as Joe said, with the figure she has, she must be working out during some amount of time. She wouldn't be eye candy if she didn't do that. Finally on jfeathe's comment, there is a HUGE difference between posing for Playboy and Stripper. Strippers are much less tasteful and trashier. They do that to make $50,000 a year to support themselves because in the majority, they were high school dropouts. With Playboy, they see a good looking girl with a average income and go hey I'll play you $250,000 to do a nude photo shoot for out magazine. I mean come on, I know very few people who wouldn't take that offer. Either way there's a big difference, but i loved the comment XD

Actually--and this is coming from me--I have no explanation for that. Between everyone doing the same pose, Underwood's retainers, and however many M9 staffers who may have some minimum of English, you'd have thought she'd get the hint. I'd hate to use such a nerdy term, but she totally failed her spot check.

It's a bit stupid if it's what it looks like, but I imagine there's a good chance they weren't filming when that photo was taken.

I believe that this is a plan by g4 to get ratings. Which one of these sounds like it will get good ratings. See an American do well on the worlds toughest obstacle course for women. Or See a playboy model get muddy. The kunoichi fan in me says number 1 but the teenager in me says number 2. But I'm more of a kunoichi fan then a teenager As much as I'd love to see luci in kunoichi which one will get the ratings, sadly it's number 2. god damn horny teenagers Hate to admit it, but I too am also one of those horny teenagers and, also admit sometimes watching Kunoichi for that same purpose

Checking Ube's links, there's a long distance pic of the course here: www.plus-blog.sportsnavi.com/bt_aya/article/74A few things you can spot: -Domino Hill -What looks like a Super Vault on the right -Notice that there are no Pole Climbs or any significantly raised platforms like there usually is at the end of Stage 1. (Unless not pictured) -The way the stages are aligned, it looks like Stage 2 starts where Stage 1 normally does (to the right of the tower) -Cool moon design on top of the Final Stage More people: ameblo.jp/ryzone/entry-10334567312.html

Sweet, maybe we get to see how unstable the Red Zone is now. Unless they changed it

Well, she's exposed every inch of skin she has- exposing information shouldn't be too hard. Sorry, I just don't like her.

Eh, I'm not saying I like her either, but she speaks English and translation is not needed ^^; Because I can't seem to locate it elsewhere, when is the offical air date for Kunoichi 8? October 8th was it? October 7th, 7:55pm JST (3:55am PST, 6:55am EST). The KUNOICHI 8 link in my signature has some more information.

Yeah it was in Ube's possible airdates thread on this same section. He posted it as possible then realized a couple days later that he found the date and time. I also blogged about it and have it up on the top of the header so people can find it faster: ramblingrican.blogspot.com/2009/09/kunoichi-8-airing-date.htmlMuscle Park also put out the dates on their website with appropriate banners for them. For those who have their own websites feel free to hork and use (just use the copyright back to Muscle Park as a courtesy) But it conveniently has the date and time with logos. P.S. They also have a clean copy of the Kunoichi banner that up to now has been eluding us a clean copy.
