From Olivia Munn's blog: "Ninja-Fest… Make sure you set your tivos and mark your calendars for NOVEMBER 12… You’ll see Kevin and I attack Tokyo in 24 hours, a preview to our run on Ninja Warrior, the new Ninja Warrior show with us, and a Ninja Warrior wrap up show… You’ll see me get kicked out of tea ceremonies, dance in the middle of Shibuya, Kevin playing Sumo and find out how far we made it on the “most diabolical course ever created”- NINJA WARRIOR!" www.heyolivia.com/?p=543yay.

Not really. At least we know that date though. I just hope they bring Zach Selwyn back so that G4 can make a full commitment to the awfulness.

Cool, I've never seen the "Kevin & Olivia Show in Japan + Plus some Ninja Warrior" before. Wow seriously, can G4 care any less about Sasuke then they do now. If I didn't know better, I would think it was just a 5 minute segment they rarely shown on AotS, that's it.

I didn't like Zach in Sasuke 19 but he did do better in Sasuke 20.. I just don't like the G4 coverage.. I think the only bonus is that we saw Shinji's Flying Teabag maneuver on Nagano and we saw Nagano smoking to drive the fanboys insane Other than that.. The actual coverage of the show was bad. Judging by this description.. they will do almost nothing with the actual people on the course like the All-Stars, etc... I knew this would happen when AOTS got involved..

If I didn't know better, I would think it was just a 5 minute segment they rarely shown on AotS, that's it. That's exactly what I was thinking when I read that description again. Even though this is sort of par for the course for G4, I've never actually witnessed the before-and-after of seeing the TBS broadcast and then G4's handling of it all. ANC3 was a little taste of it for me and it seems as if they've also hit a new low. They really hit a nerve with me with that whole "Olivia display" on the course. For a good laugh (or cringe), read the comments section on any of her blog posts... I was reading some of the gooey comments left by her lonely, sycophantic, fans that I had to leave a comment of my own: "September 24th, 2008 at 11:59 am
Hey Olivia, can’t wait to see you take a serious, sporting run at the course without any silly, unfunny, embarrasing, or cheap theatrics.
P.S. So glad you won’t be wearing some ugly and inexplicable get-up."

Really Arsenette? Wow that's... weird that you would get hate mail. O whatever, most of those comments are rather funny to read anyway.

...Prudently not offering comment on G4's coverage of Sasuke 21 (my big mouth got me in enough hot water over at the fan site yesterday)... but it seems odd G4 would choose to air this on a weeknight.

Well they moved the date for the announcement for ANC3 to coincide with a much celebrated and anticipated urinal dive.. maybe they have a Hurl marathon waiting for this.. because you know.. Hurl gets the ratings (being sarcastic.... watch some idiot say Omg no they don't...). I wouldn't be surprised if she got the date wrong as well.. since November 19th has been pretty much announced for a long time now. Maybe she is talking about AOTS premiering that instead of the actual Ninja Fest?

Well, I'm looking froward to it. Last time AOTS went to Japan, it was funny as hell.
Perhaps this change in direction is because of trying to get more ratings?

Oh and snowy you did not get in trouble As for getting more ratings.. I sincerely doubt it.. most Ninja Warrior fans want to see the dang show.. and considering that the last couple things they showed for behind the scenes actually showed the competitors rather than some stupid non-Sasuke related thing (everything the ANC guys did had to do with another Sasuke competitor (Mr. Octopus/AllStars/Nagasaki).. I don't see how this is of any interest. They already put pictures in their blogs as to what we are going to see... I don't want to see that.. I want to see the actual show.. and the actual competitors..

Yea. but perhaps they are trying to get more non-Ninja Warrior Viewers to watch Ninja Warrior by throwing AOTS into the mix.

But G4 has been REALLY lackadaisical in terms of all things Sasuke 21. From ANC3 to spoilers about Sasuke 21, it really hasn't seemed like G4 cares that much about building their "Ninja Warrior" product.

I wouldn't mind a separate AOTS in Japan show (that I could watch or ignore) but they're stepping all over Sasuke in the process. I would be more interested in G4 doing an in-depth look at Sasuke to complement the broadcast of the tournament, not Kevin & Olivia at (insert location here).

Eh.. could be a probable defense.. but very few people that watch AOTS would get into a niche show like Sasuke. Besides.. pissing off the core base of the show ... the only reason why the show is as popular as it is.. is a recipe for disaster. So far they are effectively doing that. Not inviting Mr. Octopus or Famous Gut of Japan in favor of these 2 clowns was a bad way to piss off the core base. I know that won't happen again next year.

AotS with Sasuke thrown in, where have I heard this before? *cough*InsideNinjaWarrior*Cough*.
And why would they have Ninjafest 3 right in the middle of the week and not a weekend?
And this has proven it, Ninjafest 3 has turned into a giant Cluster-Fork (Move the top of the o to the bottom of the r and turn it sideways, if you did it right it should look like uc).
Yes, we all know how serious yelling for your mom, asking them to wait, then failing the first obstacle is (A spoiler warning isn't neccicary, Its already been known since before sasuke 20 (when they first said they were going to go) about that, now we just know what joke.
Sadly they do, G4's forums have been having ads for a Hurl Marathon without the buckets (I.E. uncensored). So remind me NOT to watch G4 on October 11th
