Just saw geoffnotjeff's 24/B4. The best part: they included "Get In the Van!" {Spoiler}Sadly it did seem like they were being really nosy with filming you guys. But that's ANW... Btw here's the link to the video. Whoot it is on YouTube.

WAS PAUL HAMM CUT?! Oh that's just rude... So they go through all of the G4 archives to find Paul Hamm's run on Sasuke to use in the preview, and they end up cutting him. Classic NBC

Extremely disappointed that Paul Hamm wasn't shown at all, especially after featuring him in the promos. It's like they used him to build off the Olympic hype going on, especially with both Men's and Women's gymnastics trials this past weekend, but decided to pull a switcheroo.
They easily could've made room for him. For example - Take one competitor, put them into a fast-forward segment where you would also see the results of two other competitors who weren't shown; or have another competitor's run shown midway; or when they came back from commercial 24 minutes into the second hour before Jon Alexis Jr.'s run, they could've done away with the recap of the three women who made it to Rolling Thunder who might or might not make it to Finals, since they would remind us again just before the final commercial break before giving us the results immediately following that break during the fast-forward segment leading into Michelle Warnky's run; etc.

On the runs tonight this was a very strong group of females tonight 4 made it to the 5th obstacle. Shock of the night Able going out at the paddle boards he has been a strong competitor the last few seasons had a lot of exit this year by some very good competitors. The 64 year old was pretty darn nimble for an old guy.

Paul Hamm is one of the few Americans that competed on Sasuke before American Ninja Challenge. He made it to the second stage in Sasuke 14, and only failed to complete the stage because he forgot to press the button. They even showed a half second of him before his second stage run in the preview, making us even more up in arms about this cut.

I know Ninja Warrior UK doesn't get any love because its "goofier", but they use LOTS of fast forwards in their editing. Not just "here's a compilation of people failing the jump hang", but far more edits in runs. They still show a veteran's full run, but edit down a lot of the new kids stuff. That way we get to see far, far more contestants.

I'm officially old when people don't know who Paul Hamm is.. As a Gymnastics and Olympic nut it's inconceivable that people wouldn't know an Olympic Champ. I'm going to cry in a corner now..

My mom knew of Paul Hamm since he competed in Athens. She's been a fan of him and Morgan for as long as I've loved SASUKE. This hurts me too! He should have gotten the recognition but NBC just loves to toy with our feelings don't they...

I really need to slap ANW for a buildup run that I think almost everyone looks forward to... And it all resulted in a complete cut. I think Paul knows first hand what's it like to be robbed now...

The strangest part is they advertised him in the previews for the show and didn't bother to even to show him at all not even a FF.

I know, pathetic by NBC...even more strange is they AIR the Olympics! That isn't good television. NBC, good luck with trying to come up with an excuse for this fiasco. LOL

I think this is the second fewest finishers with last year's Venice only having 7. Similar result with the non-finishers all on the same obstacle.
