Please keep ALL discussion for these episodes in their respective threads.

Just like last week they are doing 2 hours on them on G4. I'll create a thread for the Monday, NBC Semi's. Please keep Northeast prelims on this thread only. Don't bring up other regionals into discussion here. Keep that on those threads. REMINDER: There are people who did not read the respective spoiler threads from when the competition was taped.. please do not include information from that thread here. Stick to the episode shown. Last reminders of course that all of this thread is a spoiler thread for what is shown on G4's broadcast. |

I am super excited to see the Miami course! Although I'll be crying internally since this is my region.

Here is the commercial that has been airing on NBC for the NE region:
If I'm not mistaken, there are shots from the SE in there too.

Another correct obstacle name - The "Bungee Bridge" has made a return, but the gaps in between the cords are huge compared to their counterparts.

G4 broadcasts always called the Bungee Bridge the Bungee Bridge (I know the pic is of a Challenge ep but those are just the G4 eps with the subs removed and dubs added... on-screen graphics are the same)... But yeah, the gaps did seem far bigger than on Sasuke, and with much smaller sections of cords... This is not a bad thing... they made a stage 1 obstacle with an 100% clear ratio failable

TBS used Cycling Road (Granted they had cycle road for the graphic but the navi graphic and the announcers all said Cycling Road and not Cycle Road) |

I wonder why they've been mixing the names up. |

They seem to have improved the wall lifts as they no longer crush people when they come down. But why on earth did they put them in the first stage in the prelims!?

They wall lift had counterweights, it made the walls lighter than they were supposed to be... not sure if that's really an improvement.. |

They were definitely lighter than the ones in Stage 2 in Vegas (non-spoiler, I was a tester, and by now everyone knows I didn't make it  . The fact that they were right before the warped wall made them more menacing, however. A good part of why I took an extra.... extra couple seconds before taking a run at it |

I guess technically I'd consider either one "correct". |

The walls looked lighter even before the announcers said that they were 45, 55, and 65 pounds.
