How do you think it will be done, and how do you think it should be done? Who will be sent back, if any? Who do you think are the main contenders, and who would you like to see go? Let's try and keep the G4-bashing to a minimum.

How should it be done? Well, Levi and Brian should be brought back and should be able to compete as long as they want to. I also think Luci Romberg should be given a second chance on the course. Then, G4 should hold a competition where the winner joins them. From the 100s of videos, G4 picks 16 and we vote for the top 6. Then from there, the final 6 compete in a series of tests and challenges and the winner will join Levi, Brian, and Luci. If Colin or Mark want to compete, I think they should get a second chance as well. But they should not have to go through voting.
How will it be done? Honestly, I don't know. I think Levi and Brian will be brought back automatically, while the others will have to be voted in. If G4 uses their funds, I could the top 3 from voting, battling it out in a competition. Of course, it could just be voting, but how did that turn out?

and Colin i can see come back via voting and competing Man, I wish so. But what I really thought should happen before coming into this thread is bring in a whole new set of competitors. I think the only one who should really come back would be Levi sure, but.. not Brian, and nobody else. Are they really that interested in giving competitors 2nd and 3rd chances when there's so many others with gifted abilities out there?

I don't think Mark could compete in ANC4, I remember one topic here said that it would take 6 months for him to recover from his injury (and didn't that happen litterally the night before the big 21?), I think he has a chance at ANC5 if hes feeling better, If G4 at least mentions he hurt his finger or else people won't vote for him thinking hes bad (I know we don't think that, but this is america, think about how stuborn people here usually are)

Be a man and train" "they might wanna make it sound real bad. Say like a injurg nerve in his hand before the night of Ninja Warrior Mark Witmer can't even do simple tasks likeplaying his guitar. He will be out for 6 months, which means he cant compete in ANC4" somethin like that

I think Levi will be back, and Brian will probably go back too. Leave Olivia and Kevin out of it and fire the person who thought to give them a shot at the course.
In total, I think five should be the maximum amount of people they send. A nice symmetry with the (regularly competing) All-Stars. To fill the remaining three slots, something along the lines of ANC2 would be good. Online voting followed by a test session on either the Marine course or an Arsenette-designed Ninja Killer (read some of her old blog posts to understand her feelings towards that thing).
I would like to see Luci come back, and TBS might like it too considering how few women have ever gotten that deep into ANY of the courses.

I just thought he fell because he was going way too fast and never really got set on the obstacle.
I would like to have the traditional sumbission-vote-trial approach but have former ANC qualifiers not named Levi or Brian O go straight to the trial portion. It'll give the proceedings a bit of an "Iron Chef" flair, and if you hold off on announcing the twist, that makes it all the more enticing because you get the reality show angle from it.
I really wish I could work in television.

It's basically up to TBS who participates or not, but I would assume Levi and Brian O. will be back. Luci may be invited but not sure. G4 should narrow it down to 6 competitors from the voting and have them compete for 2 or 3 available spaces on an obstacle course to make it FAIR. But I wouldn't be surprised if it was exactly the same as ANC3. I would hope next time to see guys like Rick, Joe and Ruselis there.

I agree with Lars, I hope that Rick and Ruselis finally get their shot at the course.

To actually bother to answer my own questions:
Chances are it'll be the same as ANC3, with direct video voting determining two or three people to be sent (they won't send Kevin and Olivia back). I think Levi and Brian will be sent back. Brian's won the competition twice and made it to the second stage, it would be ridiculous if he had to do so again. If Levi wasn't sent back, and instead had to send in a video, he'd pretty much win automatically due to his huge fanbase.
If it was up to me, ANC would be an annual thing, rather than biannual, and the winners would get to compete in both tournaments that year. They would be allowed to compete again if TBS allowed it, otherwise they'd have to go through the process again. For Sasuke 22, I'd send back Levi, Brian and Luci, plus whoever placed fourth in ANC3 or Colin Bell. Mark would get a guaranteed spot in 23, for recovery time.
Of course, there would have to be a trial after the voting, which would not involve head to head elimination (I'm not sure why they thought that woulud be a good idea in ANC2). Ideally you'd have like 16 people picked by G4 for the trial, but 6 after a vote is more realistic. Again ideally, the trial would consist of two stages, the first mostly agility/time based and the second mostly strength based to mimic the course, ie. to get to the real strength tests you first have to get through stage one.
The big players for ANC4 are probably Rick and Ruselis because of their fanbases, although I heard Ruselis might not be entering again. If he's not there and Brian and Levi are automatic then it's wide open. I'd love to see Rick go, as well as Jake Hilton, who's someone I've been following on YouTube (NixSeraph).

The competitors I look forward to most are Blackie Chan, Colin and Luci. Ruselis is very deserving of the chance of course, Colin because he fukin rocks and Luci because I want a female clearing stage 1.

For the love of everything holy DO NOT SEND BACK KEVIN AND OLIVIA.. okay got that off my chest... having them cut by TBS hopefully sent the signal to them that they were not happy with them.
As for wtf G4 is going to do? I gave up a long time ago after the fiasco with AN"not so C"3.
We already know Ruselis won't be back for the spring because of his commitment to Cirque de Soleil... and as much as I'm am THRILLED for that I'm not happy he will not be back for another shot.

Ruselis isn't coming back? Aw man that sucks, he would've been the first black guy to clear the first stage.

He did a post in the G4 forums about it. I do with him all the success in the world. Should be a great experience being in Cirque de Soleil.

Well if im reading correctly, its a circussy thing, looks more like something Chris Angel does, which is awesome, if Rus is being somethin w/ magic tricks and issusions, thats awesome!
But it kinda looks like they go 2 asain, and if he;s their @ the right time, looks liek he might be able to do SASUKE. so it might actully work out perfect for him
