ANW3 schedule on G4 (Discussion and spoilers)

[arsenette]

Just a heads up just like last time. This can be the discussion thread for the premiere episodes on Sunday, July 31st on G4. Please do NOT DISCUSS SPOILERS FROM THE NEWS THREADS.. please keep all discussion to what physically happened on each show. Thanks. Given that G4 website only has one week at a time I'll post a new thread for each weekend as it's available.

Schedule for ANW3 on G4:
www.g4tv.com/schedule/index.html?datetime=07/31/2011%209:00%20AM
Sunday, July 31, 2011 on G4
9:00 PM American Ninja Warrior - Season 3 (Part 1) - The Qualifying Round from Venice Beach, CA begins
10:00 PM American Ninja Warrior - Season 3 (Part 2) - The Qualifying Round from Venice Beach, CA continues

[thatoneuser]

I'm fairly confident that it will air the following two Sundays (7th and 14th) with the Japan course airing on the 23rd, one day after it airs on NBC at 9 PM EST. I don't recall if there are any times.

Also, I don't like it being aired so late. I was happy with 8 PM.

EDIT: Look what I found

By the way, the G4 airings will begin July 31 and will I imagine proceed with airings each Sunday night until the NBC finale, although the second part is not confirmed. Also no advertisement yet from NBC's standpoint but I doubt anyone will hear about that until much closer to the date.

[arsenette]

.. which is why I said I'll create threads for the other nights when the schedule is available..

[thatoneuser]

Ah I see. We're going week by week then?

Fair enough. Can't wait to see the new course - oh wait, already seen it

Although I do want to see how deadly the *cough* fourth obstacle *cough* is for competitors we didn't get bootlegged runs of.

Given the past few times I think it would be a good idea to do it week to week and keep the discussions that way. It worked pretty good before so we'll see how it goes. Also helps if people want to discuss specific aspects and ignoring certain episodes (like people who don't like boot or people who are waiting for TBS broadcast and ignoring the NBC coverage). Besides, the last time each topic went on for like 10 pages LOL.

[penguincatfish]

Do we need to use spoiler tags?

Patrick Cusic with his hair cut short looks like Trevor Vaughn.

[TCM]

Considering we know the biggest reason for fails like Shane and Tre and the lack of wiping down the course overall I think this could use a resurrection:

[setg696]

Some bad stuff went down in these episodes...whats with the jumping bars ending being a foot off the water screwed a few people over by getting their shoes soaked. Worst jump hang ever as well just horrible. Also just wow on those soaked quad steps, and the best part is the semifinals are going to be even worse.

Unstabelo Bridgey! Or as G4 now calls it... the Slippery Death Bridge!

[m4tt3r0x]

I kinda earned a lot of respect for Patrick Cusic after watching his run. His determination was pretty admirable. I'm certain he would have made the top 30 if it weren't for that dreaded hax!

[penguincatfish]

Water was mentioned a lot throughout the broadcast. It was a shame because there were a few that I wanted to see go through.

I had the same feeling. I think he slightly made up for his boot camp fiasco with his run, but maybe that is overdoing it...anyway he had a great run right up until his mishap.

[Ninja Chris]

Water *was* a big deal this competition. They don't seem to be talking as much about it as I thought, but the rain absolutely saturated the course on Day 2. The water *everywhere* was making things difficult... Mainly the Quad Steps.

It's 100% the reason why Tre and Brian K. failed that obstacle... slick as if it were ice, just as Tre said. You would not believe how many people were taken out by it.

If they failed that, the only other obstacle that gave trouble was the Warped Wall, as a bunch of water was pooled inside the track. They would come and mop it out, but it remained moist... I'm guessing due to the paint? Either way, I would see people come down from the Jumping Bars and make a run, and see wet footprints, even though they never had touched the water. It was just a hard day.

[RiderLeangle]

I think in the case of the wall, it was more the people failing the Jumping Bars splashing the landing platform, looked like Ryoga soaked the mats at the end

[arsenette]

Would it be possible that someone with G4 (I don't have cable anymore) can make a list of people we know that G4 showed in the first 2 episodes? Just a thought.

[RobbyMac]

If I could catch the replay I'll do it. I was actually going to do this from 1pm-3pm ET but I woke up at 2:30ET LOL.

[TCM]

I have both episodes on my DVR, if no one posts a list, I'll try to make one within the next few hours, just a bit busy atm with school stuff.

[RobbyMac]

I'll keep a list during next episode while I'm streaming. I guess..... Do it this time TCM. Thanks!

Finally finished. Just decided to make a full competitor list.
