I can't believe they cut Reko Rivera...seriously NBC need to get their act together this is worse editing than my YouTube videos! I think they don't want to spoil the surprise about something he told me he did in city finals, hell I don't want to spoil the surprise Sounds to me like he 'Did a Kevin' if you know what I mean. EDIT: Apparently that's not it, in which case I am stumped

I can neither confirm nor deny that I really freaking hate the OKC balance obstacle.

Sounds to me like he 'Did a Kevin' if you know what I mean. No that's not it... He pulls a JSB on the Big Dipper or he skips like half of the Clacker.

Guys it's not related to any obstacle in particular...

Regarding cow man, and Philip can vouch for this, in 2014 I came up with the original cow man idea for an ANW competitior, but instead called Cash Cow. Expect many lawsuits ahead for NBC (/sarcasm)

Honestly? I thought the course sucked compared to the other regions. Everyone else had some funky new obstacles that changed required muscle groups and we got the pipe fitter, which only resulted in more blood loss from people shredding their forearms on the tops of the pipes than I can remember. The block run was cool, I guess. Luis Moco did it first, though. What about the clacker? That looks cool.
Yeah, the clacker is pretty sweet. Obstacle 9, though, so really only a small handful of people are gonna get to it. Ideally, I'd like to see new/awesome obstacles in a place like #2 or #4 (like Tic-Toc was) so that they get maximum exposure.

I don't understand why they have a lot of sob stories on the show to fill up the time...some of them are probably not true...it's all about the money and that's definitely not the spirit of American Ninja Warrior.

{Spoiler} I didn't like this regional. Drew was awesome, but other than that there seemed to be an above average amount of sob stories this week. The course wasn't too interesting... The Block Run was OK but the Pipe Obstacle was just lazy and uninspired. As for the Big Dipper/Spin Cycle, we've seen them before. Just seemed bland compared to Los Angeles. Also, that "king" guy was an unbearable a*****e who I really don't want to get to Vegas. Sure he got the 4th fastest clear, but he was talking himself up so much beforehand I just hated him instantly. Awwwww. You don't like MACK? He's almost as over as Cow Man (wrestling speak) but seriously it'll be interesting to see how MACK does in the upcoming stages because judging by the fluff piece he's probably going to Vegas and who knows, I think he could go really far

Yes but that draws raitings there is this entire psychology behind it with people heck look no further than the other NBC the Voice they do the same thing it sells. The sob stories and other peoples drama at the end of the day sells.

Then Pipe sliders have been around a long time on stage 2. Heck if I remember correctly Flip went down on the obstacle on stage 2 in back to back years in Vegas on ANW. Then again it is all about personal preferences

Your spirit of American Ninja Warrior was the first time I ever heard that word. I think it definitely exists. I've been trying to take my life a lot more seriously lately. Hope everything is well, lol. Any kind of money is great, lol, it's just feeling corrupted by it is what matters. Just in a general sense.
