{Large Image} You can see (all?) competitors here. Recognize anyone? Also, I only counted 50 or so people, so either that isn't all of them, or they only have 50 people.

While I'm a little surprised, Ayako and Rie are pretty old (40 and 39). I don't know how old Satomi is though.

Taping is apparently done.
If it is done, it's only 9pm or so in Japan. Final stage was set for 10pm or so, and stage 2 end was set for 9pm or so. Seems like nobody made it to the Final Stage. Of course timing can change, so that's not a guarantee.

Well we know one old obstacle return (Kunoichi 8-style Domino Hill where they're all on the same level but the shape at the top gives a smaller base to walk on) and one adopted from Sasuke outright (Rolling Hill). I wouldn't be surprised if Yoko is STILL bitter at her Final Stage run. EDIT: Just saw the picture with the clear original Jump Hang as well.

There are obviously other obstacles, this is just what I see:
Because I'm using these pictures as practice for 33, what I see:
Red Stage: Rolling Hill Spinning Log Hedgehog variant where their path are small pillars Floating Tiles Jump Hang
Blue Stage: Pendulum Bridge/Swinging Beam (3rd obstacle of Stage 2 in 1-2, the final obstacle of Stage 3 from 3, 4 and 6) Domino Hill (Kunoichi 8 version) Cliffhanger/Power Hanger-looking obstacle
Wall with lights where one sections protrudes out (version of Unforgiving Wall? Maybe the lights are peg holes?)

Other thoughts:
- I like how much they seem to be extrapolating from their history (original format of 50 women in 3 stages like with the first 2 tournaments, tower Final from Kunoichi 4, various obstacles from their past) - The addition of Sasuke obstacles give the difficulty a much needed spike (though I hope it's not too brutal -- a new show probably needs one hero)

I might be seeing things wrong but is it just me or do I see an old school (As in like 1-6 shaped but smaller) Spider Walk in This Pic
