Hopefully this can settle the debate and they are both champions (and only Geoff will be a defending champion ). It doesn't matter who got up first too much, people remember Nagano far more than Akiyama anyway ^^ As long as there is some recognition that they are both champions I'm happy with that. And also sweet news that the prize gets split this season, I hope to see Geoff and someone else up there this season, both at the top of the tower embracing each other with $250,000 celebrating that they both beat the course and not each other.

Agree fully. Does anyone have a copy of Isaac's "statement" from the podcast? Where can we see that? I heard what he said but wanted to examine it a bit closer for clues. Also, is his girlfriend competing? I just don't understand why you wouldn't want to run on the FUNNEST obstacle course ever built, especially with his skill level. Maybe it's a business decision? No doubt the tension between he and Geoff (not the other way around I might add) is kind of a sad reflection and not in the spirit of sasuke, IMO. I guess I'm preaching to the choir here aren't I…

Surprised the Wolfpack isn't pissed as hell. I wonder what really happened behind the scenes. Thanks and sorry bout that. Wow.

I expect they are but honestly they are smart to take the high road. That's such a public divorce and not worth going down into the trenches to bad mouth him. It's interesting how they just said this as a 'get it over with' to get it out of the way because everyone else is not privy to the behind the scenes and only go by what was on television (especially with USA vs. World being shown recently and them being so overtly supportive of Isaac). It's better to just say the statement so they have closure on their podcast and move on. Their podcast is supremely positive and doesn't cover the controversial stuff that we do here on SMF. That's not their demographic. They love giving tips and support to kids. This wouldn't be something that's worth covering on their podcast. It's intensely personal.

I like the podcast but as a fan would love to hear the "back room" conversations our champ Geoff mentioned. I bet there's some juicy stuff there because the why just doesn't make sense. Anyway, Geoff, you are a freaking champion and deserve the title and I voted for you on that poll for what it's worth. I can't imagine what you went through physically and emotionally to finish a perfect season and have $1mil taken from you like that... Not that you're in it for the money, but you earned it and it would put your kids through college. I hope you win this year buddy. You are one of the strongest out there!

Screw NBC, but HAH! at Stratis. But seriously, unless Geoff is on the other side of the truck, they might as well drive it over him and get it over with.

NBC has a "winner".. no one else (outside of us maniacs and the competitors) are privy to the politics/fight. He won, NBC SHOULD promote him. We don't have to like it but it doesn't change the fact that he won ANW7. I wish there was more Geoff love though.. hopefully they can do that during the season when he returns in his region. I'm looking for a Geoff truck in Philadelphia dammit...

Can we please clarify if Issac is indeed blacklisted from ANW?
It gets brought up on page 3 out of nowhere & stated as fact but later Geoff say he would be "shocked" if Issac was banned.
Is this one of those things we have to believe without any evidence?

Is this one of those things we have to believe without any evidence? I'm the one using the word blacklist but it is probably not a correct word to be used. Isaac demanded some things from NBC, NBC won't budge on it, Isaac walked. NBC won't allow him to enter ANW unless he meets demands that Isaac finds unfair. So they are at an impasse. The only way Isaac goes back to ANW is if he accepts NBC's terms. Whether or not that happens depends on Isaac but it's not up to NBC to give him a pass if Isaac is being a pain in the a** about it. Given that Isaac has gone on record saying he's done with ANW, it is safe to assume he has no interest in accepting NBC's terms.. thus the ride is over. Whether that constitutes a blacklist or not is a word I probably shouldn't have used, but it seems that way to me. I can't find another word that explains the situation succinctly.

Eh, that truck was probably decorated long before Isaac took off. If not then NBC have serious moral issues.

Yeah.. to do anything different would open a can of worms and expose dirty laundry they would prefer keeping hidden.

Isaac actually is confirmed to be on sasuke 32, that wasn't a April Fools joke! Watch Universal Tuber's latest video on youtube Universal Tuber is a former member of this forum who has been permabanned. His videos have time and time again been removed from this forum. He's not exactly a reliable news source. When a more reliable source verifies this information, we will accept it as fact. EDIT: This appears to be the "source" of his information. Going back a full year on sasuke_tbs, a simple Ctrl+F finds zero results of "Isaac" and only one result of "NBC", which was Kenji Takahashi tweeting about USA vs. The World. This is therefore a completely fake tweet and a desperate attempt at gaining attention by breaking fake news. 100% fake. Case closed. Happy April Fool's Day.
