GOOD:
27 Clears in Stage 1
2 Finalists
Return of many fan favourites
Shinya destroying the CCH
Great new Obstacles
Tarzan Rope FINALLY eliminated someone
BAD:
1 of 27 who cleared withdrew before Stage 2
SSL claiming victims (THE DQ RULE IS FAIR!)
Shinya failing the Vertical Limit. Never saw that coming
Bunpei failing the Jump Hang
Kenji Darvish almost clearing
Torisawa didn't win
Backstream toned down
Wall Lifting almost flattening Yuuji and Yusuke
No new Stage 2 obstacles (Spider Drop is part of Spider Walk)
UGLY:
Shingo revolting like a chicken on the Backstream (sorry lusitania)
Digests - Classic case of bad editing, WORSE THAN G4!!!
Yamada and Ishikawa getting cut
Kawaguchi messing up in the final (i feel bad for him)
Long Jump too easy. REPLACE IT NOW INUI!
Overall it was a good show. 8.1/10
