I'm sure we are all getting ore than a little bit anxious now that we're in the final week before SASUKE 23 airs. What are your thoughts as we enter the last week?
For me..I'm excited to see the new changes and obstacles, but worried that TBS/M9 will make the course even more challenging. I think stages 2 and 3 may be tougher this time around and we already know that at least 1 obstacle has changed in stage 1. Time will be a big factor in stages 1 and 2 and this worries me, too.
Also, I am excited to see the competitors for this event because we're going to have a lot of new entries, from the G4 crew to Japanese celebs and athletes. But many of the people we have enjoyed watching may also be missing. Looks like no Miyazaki and Shunsuke. Has anyone heard about Terek? Takahashi? Kobayashi?
I'm also going to try and not watch the #23 spoiler they have during Navi and the beginning of SASUKE. This seems to ruin the whole experience for me.
What are your thoughts?

David said beforehand that Terek wasn't going, don't know about the others. I think the new first obstacle will be the only change for stage 1. Stage 2, we know the Swing Ladder is gone, I imagine they'll cut the time limit too, and I don't imagine them doing anything major to stage 3. They probably want more people through, not less. EDIT: The Navi will be in progress in exactly one week's time.  |

I'm seriously starting to gasp when I think about it. Heck, I hate school...this will be one of the longest weeks of my life.
I am worried because they seemed to have made stage 1 even harder. For some reason, I want to see the Salmon Ladder taking out a few people but being pwned by the ones who'll pass it. And, obviously, I hope my favourite one to finally achieve the kanzenseiha that was denied to him for someone else's mistake.
I will be obsessively checking if TVAnts works in one week's time. one week and 17 minutes to go!

Yes, I agree with you pn that one. Every time I replay #21 and see that damn 'gliding' ring, I swear at the TV. But don't worry- Nagano wll get his revenge....come to think of it, maybe a good title for SASUKE 23 is "SASUKE 23: Revenge of the Champions"

let's keep it speculation-free. Could be that he went there or could be that he simply kept in touch with who went there. Enough

Uhm what do you mean? We KNOW UncleSam didn't go... he even posted a video of him losing the ANW qualifer.  Also he said something about not having much money after spending it to go to ANW, so chances are he didn't pay his way either, so we can assume it's just insider info. It's hardly speculation. |

I know. I love stating how much I know. Or don't know. Depending on how you look at it. But nonetheless... it's fun. This is gonna be an incredible tournament. But then again, when isn't it? |

That's only cuz you know who went to Japan after trails If he failed the Spider Walk why would he be at the finals and knowing the results? And why did he go to trails? I thought everyone was chosen at Trials? |

I thought everyone was chosen at Trials? Instead of asking me like I'm some kind of fool, just explain why you think sam didn't know or see the outcome. I figured since he was with David and the rest of the ninjas at the after party, he would know. |

And weren't the finals for ANW Monday and Tuesday that week? |

I almost wish I didn't already know. So I could be 100% surprised when I watch it... but then again... I love knowing
