Obstacles look really rad, this will be a fun tournament to watch. The screen behind the first stage start platform is SOOOO hype!
The editing of the Navi however was a little strange. It just kind of ended out of nowhere without much warning. Left a little bit to be desired in terms of hyping up competitors who actually have a chance, but I can see their approach to pull in more viewers by focusing on the celebs.

Sadly that is quite normal. Any spoilers also will be accounted on the guessing game.
Whoops posted late. Celeb centric is needed for ratings.

They blurred out the people sitting on the chairs so I'm pretty sure they were for clears. In which case why were there only 20 chairs?  |

If Drew almost failed Roller Hill, no one is safe.

Chairs can be added and removed at will. It should not be used as a gauge. Also they ordered the women according to bra cup size....

They are gravure models with huge fan bases. Tbs needs them to stay alive. Besides, it's their fault they are objectified. Remember also that they take the slot of gag people. We don't have the old guard there anymore. Other more respectable women also competed.

Hahaha no worries. All the women in the audience were uncomfortable as most of the men leaned forward to see better.... All of us cheered more for the normal women though.

They had a whole part of the navi showing all the gravure idols competing and even showed 2 of them in the navi. I do agree the cup size based run order is fairly sexist but I mean it is their job so they're probably not pissed about it themselves lol |

Well, they didn't mention Shinya in the Navi really so I'm disappointed, but then again they didn't mention the top competitors THAT much.

The show historically has been an hour so having only half of it would make longtime viewers feel like something was "off".

Only the models were ordered by cup size (and there were only three of them). The rest of the women ranged from "Wait, why?" to a couple who have trained/are training sometimes with some of male competitors. At least half the women from this show probably would be decent to good KUNOICHI competitors.

I think the 120 second time limit is better for this stage. Glad they changed it from 130.

Also, I LOVE the fact that you climb up the Tackle to get to the Warped Wall.
