I guess we won't know if "he" will be there for the taping until well... the day of or later. yes I mean Yamada. If it depends on his wellness he can't promise anything until right then and there. But I am curious if he's going to have another go at it.

It'll be nice to see the Black Tigers maybe competing alongside the trainer. (I won't say master like he wants though. Trainers are awesome. ^^)

They are really nice guys otherwise when I met them in person. Either way, makes for good TV since they all laugh at him now.

I'm friends with Hiroshige on Facebook, he is a nice guy as far as I know and he's one of the few that sent ME the friend request instead of the other way around. Always good TV. I'm going to guess he'll do better than his teacher but meh we won't know until March.

That is never public unless they mention it themselves and usually they don't. X2. Last year we found out about Kacy and Brent when they came clean at the airport en route. Drew was even shadier. If he hadn't Instagrammed a pic doing a handstand at the airport in China, it would have been a total mystery to us here. With his new gym opening literally a week ago, I'm sadly not expecting him to go.

It sounds like they are cutting down on foreigners in general. Perhaps after the backlash from last time.

I'm really glad to hear that Nagano will still be a part of the show!! I think it's a good idea for the show to have past competitors host the show. I'm guessing, though, it'll be more of a 2-3 minute thing between each stage with him talking about what happened/what will happen. Yamada returning (for the fourth time?) isn't as great news to me. I do like him, but after his 14-tournament Stage 1 fail-rate WHEN he was in practice, I think we can guess what's going to happen. And even though his old rivalries have been patched up (mostly) I think we should keep it that way. You never know though and he might be training constantly even now. I think it'd be nice for him to at least make it to Stage 3 and that'd be a decent way to end his career. Anyway, I'm really looking for to watching Sasuke 33 (and 34!) this year

Unfortunately, with his job I don't see it happening...

I think it's fine to have a few dedicated spots for them. They don't need to take over the show like they have a few times in the past, but I see no problem with them getting a few spots, especially people like Drew, Lee, etc.

Sorry, what I meant was that I don't care if there is one foreigner or 20 on Sasuke. It'd be ok if all 100 were Japanese, it doesn't make a difference to me, but of course it's nice to see some of them when they actually are on the show in the end.

As if Inui didn't have enough stress in his life, he has to hope Kunoichi isn't slaughtered in the ratings while hoping Stage 3 isn't the washout it was last year.
