I wouldn't be surprised if Monster9 did ask for him. I mean doesn't he have the world record for most olympic gold medals? Sounds like an athlete they'd want. Besides, I think he kind of want to get out of america for a bit now

I would strongly suspect he's coming back. Mr. H likes him and they'd be insane not to invite him back. From what I'm hearing they are trying to create "regulars" since viewers are complaining that sometimes they don't know who these people are and there are too many new people to keep up. Considering both he and Brian got to the 2nd stage I don't see why both would not be there at this point. Levi definately... not sure if they are bringing back Brian.

its very rare they dont bring back sombody who didnt beat stage 1, unless Monster9 and then get into a fight (Kosugi's), or they cant come back for whatever reason
i think luci, levi and brian, will all come back w/o G4

i think luci, levi and brian, will all come back w/o G4 Unless G4's "One Winner and Olivia" is just a scam like ANC1's One Winner (and they sent Brett), ANC2's Two Winners (and Brett got sent back again) and ANC3's Three Winners (with Levi) policy. Wouldn't be surprised in the least if it was.

I think 1 "new" person is what G4 was aiming at. I don't have a problem with that concept.. I have a problem with how they picked them..

Oh, I don't have a problem with it either. I just wish that, if that were the case, they would stop with the run arounds and falsehoods. Think back to ANC3; the fact that Levi was going back was the worst kept secret on the net. So when G4 said that a "mystery guest" was going, everyone just nodded and said "Levi". Its a waste of time and an lame attempt at artificially increasing tension and "what ifs".

Updated the list with David's name and links to both the ANC4 announcement and his YouTube Video.
P.S. So is Masaski Nomura and Ryo Shirai - going to check blogs tonight to see if any additions/confirmations. Usually they start posting in earnest after the taping though.

Arsenette, Question:
You said in your new blog entry that the Trials had 60 entries. Was that in total or the number after they pared it down like they did for last time?

They pared it down from 2000 again like last time and invited 60 to participate in the Trials.

That's a relief. I thought for a second that they only got 60 applicants total and no one was even trying to get on the show this time.

Nah the show still has a hardcore fanbase and even if you got there before quite a few of them have to keep reapplying. BTW thanks Ube for helping out on that one I'm frustrated we don't know anymore past that. Either way. Taping is Monday so I suspect we should find out more by next week leading up to Sasuke in 2 weeks.

From what I can figure out:
The Trials were held outdoors. Not sure where but maybe not Midoriyama, I think because DOORS 2009 was using the lot during that time (http://ameblo.jp/folcom/).
They chose 6 out of the 60 (out of the 2000).

Wow, 6 out of 2000, Trials must be mostly luck.
And am I noticing something about that TV guide entry?
Why do I get the feeling TBS asked for Phelps?

Doubt it. I'd imagine the swimmer is probably Kosuke Kitajima, a Japanese gold medalist from Beijing. The wrestler is probably Matsunaga, with the singular suggesting that Henry might not be coming back.
As for the trials, don't they select a bunch from the 2000 to skip the trials and go directly to the show?

Why do I get the feeling TBS asked for Phelps? Probably because I already suggested it and then you agreed with me that it sounded like it could be him. Interestingly enough, in this thread on the first page.
