Knowing Monster 9, they'd probably make the first few obstacles harder so no one would ever attempt the Cliffhanger again.

Well I think that Olivia getting a chance to compete again in the first place is just stupid, anyone here on these proboards has a better chance of getting past the first stage than her. The fact that she's injured is a negative to...Injured people dont need to be in Sasuke...its that simple. I don't think you understand Sasuke. Really, and maybe people will disagree with me on this, I don't know, but Sasuke isn't about beating all 4 stages. Its about doing your best and doing better than you did before. For example, the Sumo Wrestler from Konochi (Don't know her name sorry) hasn't gotton past the first obstacle. And although I make fun of her, I'm still a fan and I hope that if there's another Konochi that she will return and beat the first obstacle. Just my thoughts, Ill be cheering for Olivia Munn to beat the first obstacle, hopefully she will.

My initial post was of someone walking into the course trying to break through security. He backed off when I called him on it. Then he said he was going personally to Sasuke Trials and volunteers his services. THEN he said he was going to TBS directly to give him his specs for a better course.. If that's not arrogance I don't know what is. He left for Japan last week so I'm sure we will hear about it one way or the other what happened from there. I swear if they close off all entries to Americans because of this a** I'm seriously going to be pissed. I don't see why he can't just do what normal people do and .. oh I don't know.. wait to be invited? Sasuke Trials in Japan had 2 THOUSAND entries.. they only picked 60 and 6 passed. What makes this cocky bastard think that by showing up unannounced he should get dibs? As for the TV station thing I'm sure he will get bricked by Security at the front door. I have no problems with people submitting their entries to be invited into the course by email or mail. Heck Oti did it by mail and they wrote back to him for more information. Heck I even put a post on my blog in directions of how to DO it. So I don't see the correlation over the post I made of the asshat going to TBS to offer his "advice" to the wrong place (he should be trying Monster 9 if he wants to get anywhere .. and good luck trying to talk to Higuchi.. LOL I want to be a fly on the wall) and people sending emails to Monster 9 asking for an invite. 2 totally different things. As for nerfing the course.. yeah.. BIG time nerf of the course. That wall lift has had people pinned underneath, landing on achiles tendons (Shingo happened twice.. once cost him the clear) and only when an American had his foot caught briefly they all went "oh crap". As I mentioned before G4 did not complain or sue. Levi did not complain or sue. It was just the mentality in Japan that they are now working with people who do not share their thought pattern. They never had a liability waiver (Still don't) but they still feel compelled to nerf the course to avert any problems in the future.. because of us. In the past the only thing they ever changed was a course problem (Nagano putting his hand off the course on the Shin Cliff hanger so they walled it up so it's physically impossible to do again). They put water under the spider walk.. remember them landing on the steel poles when they fell? OOOOOOOOOUCH.. Heck they even had MAJOR injuries with people in traction in the hospital.. So yeah I get bent out of shape that they changed the wall lift because Levi pinned his foot. You barely have to lift it to slide under. At least Takeda and Nagano lift the damn thing over their heads just to prove how hard their nuts are Mwahahahhahahha I see what your saying, I just don't that guy will have any influence on Sasuke at all. At first, I thought you were jealous that he was going to Japan to try to get on... I hope your not. In the end, them nerfing the course is there own damn fault, and there smart too. Who cares if they Nerf it, the safer the better. I don't see why anyone here should be mad about it. Hell I'd probably sue them too, if all they had to do is add a bit of cush so my foot doesn't break. Maybe thats just me lol.

I understand where your coming from, but Olivia shouldn't get to go just because she hosts Attack of the Show, and we just think its stupid to send her back, when you could send someone else from ANC who could do way better than she will do.

The big gaping hole in your argument is that the Japanese have done the exact same thing for 12 years, whether it's comedians, gravure idols, or Yasuo Aoki. It's a publicity stunt, plain and simple, and just because Olivia lives in America doesn't make it any different.

I know Japan has been doing the same thing for 12 years its just that, this ANC thing is pretty much the only way to get into Sasuke if you live in America, so why send another comedian like Olivia, when you can send someone thats more qualified, and that really wants to try the course, Olivia has already had her shot, and it seems as though she really didn't want to do it again, when she got there all she was concerned with was getting past those steps, congrats if she accomplished it, especially due to her injury, but i just think with the format ANC is in, we need to be sending the most qualified people.

They should send that guy on youtube who has the record for the fastest Muscle Park pass. He has tons of cliffhanger variants and he puts up vids regularly. Guy is a BEAST! What's his name Arsenette?

Tomino Keita if I remember correctly. He's been trying to get on Sasuke since the Sasuke 13 trials. Plus, just because he's amazing at upper body obstacles, doesn't mean he'll be good at Sasuke, especially in the First Stage.
