I feel Nagano was the only good thing we saw tonight. XD I mean it's not exactly something you see every day in ANW land.

Still don't know how people were confused about whether women who made the top 30 would also count in the top 5 women's section.

How come Josh Levin is 15th if he has the 12th fastest time?

So they did show Nagano? Yay! I wasn't sure how NBC was going to handle that surprise. Well, more like they mentioned him and showed him for like 3 seconds in a digested run. I don't even think they mentioned Sasuke, just that he was one of the "greatest ninjas". (Correct me if I'm wrong) They said he "conquered Mt. Midoryama in Japan," so in kind of an indirect way, they did mention SASUKE.

Highlights: -Bull, Rodriguez, Levin, and McCartney cleared! -"Flippy" Rodriguez (someone go edit his Sasukepedia page lol) Lows: -Zhanique Lovett's son being super cringy on the sidelines. -Veteran fails -Poor design on the Fly Wheels and Battering Ram (people hitting their faces; hitting the bar and falling) -Obviously whoever designed the Battering Ram has never heard of the Pipe Slider, the two obstacles are pretty much the same fundamentally (except the Pipe Slider isn't stupid and actually WORKS well) -Kacy count -The editing; too many fluff pieces and veteran digests. Also the set of digests BEFORE one of the commercial breaks, WTF? -MINONS

AND I FORGOT ABOUT NAGANO, NOOOOOOO

I wonder where's Jessie Graff. Is she participating in another city? She said she didn't compete in LA because she hyper extended her fingers and needed time to heal. She'll be in Daytona.

Yeah Flippy and Makoto were very much high notes for me. Good start. Can we continue it?

Soooo major flaw with the new women rule. Tiana and Zhanique both made top 30, if any of the other women beat them second night it is totally unfair to them because they legit earned their spot against everyone where the other women did not earn a chance to compete in finals.

It's pretty much the same for men though; some guys clear the qualifying course then fail the third obstacle in finals, while others fail the fifth obstacle in qualifying then make it to the 8th obstacle in the finals. Your finals performance is all that matters in regionals.

I would have changed it and had all 3 sections in line with each other (instead of the second one being offset) but the grip is much different and the way it spins I think is pretty challenging.

So how big was the Kacy count? Kacy and Jessie traded the lead back and forth throughout the night, but a late surge puts our score through one episode at Kacy 12, Jessie 10. Stay tuned for next week as the count hits triple digits.

Nah, I thought the Battering Ram was good too. They need to heighten the first Fly Wheel though.
