So would Jessie's city finals run on YouTube get as much views as Kacy's or would she get ignored because she didn't complete it? Ignored because she's not Kacy and isn't going to get a rocket push despite the fact that Jessie's performance was vastly more impressive than Kacy's due to obstacle difficulty |

Anyone else notice the fact that when Jesse went to grab that other grib on the clear wall it spun as she touched it? Looked to me as if it wasn't screwed down all the way, considering none of the other grips were spinning at all, seems like an overlooked mistake by set construction. i.e. Jessie got screwed, will be interesting to see if they fix it afterwards.
Edit: Still spinning on Grant's run, and there was one more near the end that was spinning around, giving him trouble and forcing him to try and make a jump. Still seems like shoddy work to me considering only a few are spinning when force is applied. Oh and the new blonde interviewer is absolutely horrible. Saying to this family "I know you guys have gone through a lot of loss in your family recently, I see you're getting very emotional, just tell me what's going on in your mind," while wearing the cheesiest cheshire cat grin on her dumb face. NO s*** b****, THEY JUST LOST THEIR MOM AND GRANDMOTHER, WHY DON'T YOU COME ASK US AFTER SOME OF YOUR FAMILY MEMBERS DIE, YOU BIMBO.

So 1/3 of the people who qualified for Vegas didn't even REACH the Warped Wall.... what the hell happened to Venice?! Didn't it used to be one of, if not THE most stacked region?

Because the Hourglass Drop was a complete and utter crap obstacle and they did nothing between the finals to fix it the tolerance for error was too low unlike most the obstacles you can recover with being off just a little |

 "She won the 'Hourglass Drop' challenge..." That is the perfect way to describe it. |

Yeah, it's just a shame that she won't get to qualify for Sasookie.

the Hourglass Drop was such a random obstacle. Those who are comfortable on trampolines had a huge advantage on this one if they made it that far. As a walk on I got to watch them build the course and at first I thought it was something like the Unstable Bridge. At that point I remember thinking that the course looked easy but I wish I could say the same after trying it out.  There was no other 5th obstacle in the other regions similar to this one. Perhaps they were just trying to explore obstacles possibilities and they underestimated the difficulty level of this one if you were not prepared for it. I have to say though, they had a trampoline in the warm up zone and they let us practice before trying the course. I got to the point that I was confident about it but didn't even get to that point.  |

Now that the Venice episodes have aired, I want to point out that not everyone got to try the practice trampoline before they ran. At the start of the night, we were told we could try the trampoline when they were ready. A while later some people started lining up to jump on the trampoline, and I got in line behind them. Apparently it was such a wild trampoline that some people were flying off in all directions, which made the producers/ATS folks scared and they suspended all practicing on the trampoline before I even got the chance to try it. Shortly after that I was called on deck to run the course, without having ever touched the practice trampoline. While I was on deck, there was a short break of a few minutes that I took advantage of by jumping over the fence and taking a jump on the trampoline. So technically I did touch it before actually running the course, but I had to force the issue and probably piss off the staff by stepping out of line. If you're going to have a practice trampoline, everyone should have an equal opportunity to try it before they run. |

I slipped on the silk slider rope.  couldn't believe it and I was kinda depressed for a few days. |

If you're going to have a practice trampoline, everyone should have an equal opportunity to try it before they run. thanks for mentioning this Yen. I remember one or two of the producers or ats having an issue with us practicing at certain times during the night. They were not consistent though and a few of us decided to ignored them. I was one of the last people to run the course after 5 am. I had the advantage of practicing more but by 5 am I was feakin tired. Bummer that you didn't get to practice brother, especially given that you made it all the way to the trampoline obstacle. I think at the finals though the producers didn't have an issue with people practicing. |

check out Nicholas at min 2 who has a lot of experience on trampolines. This was easy for him.

I like his moves on the quint steps and two steps only on the tilting table. The wall is a joke for him. Also two steps only. The one that gave him hard time from the vid was the roulette row, he just made it on the landing platform.

I think at the finals though the producers didn't have an issue with people practicing. Oh totally! The producers wanted nothing more than to see people getting past the trampoline the 2nd night, so they made sure everyone had plenty of practice + coaching from ATS. Funny how that didn't really help, considering most people still failed the trampoline the 2nd night |
