Yes he was, and that's was a big hint that Grant was going to fail and not qualify How did they hint it since I don't live in America? Also good for David. Sucks Grant couldn't make it though. they brought up he was on the bubble. It happened with Sam Sann in the Dallas finals in 2014 when Dillon Gates also failed the Salmon ladder.

First the went, oh look at this guy in 15th place. Then, they went "Grant McCartneys had some trouble with salmon ladders before" and then they went, "REMEBER, YOU NEED TO TOUCH THE PEG ON THE PEGBOARD TO CLEAR THE SALMON LADDER, I REALLY HOPE GRANT DOESNT COME REALLY CLOSE TO TOUCHING THE PEG ON THE PEGBOARD, AND THEN FALL, THAT WOULD BE A SHAME WOULDNT IT."

It didn't help that the also gave the POM run to the MIT guy.

I think you guys are being too hard on the editing. Grant's run could have gone either way.

I honestly dislike the attention of Zhanique Lovett's son. He just seems like a little kid trying to be cute and get attention. I don't like it. Yeah he wasn't even paying attention to his mom. I cringed a ton watching that.

Highs:•Nick Hanson was pretty smooth up until the Battering Ram! •Jackson Meyer took kind of a long time to get to the Battering Ram, but he powered through it in just 25 seconds! Also, first to beat the Swinging Peg Board! •Props to Charlie Andrews for being the first clear! •I don't think Zhanique Lovett's son is capable of getting dizzy •I'm really liking the sparks that shoot out when someone clears! •Props to Sean Bryan for being the fastest clear! Lows:•Seeing Grant and Kristine dance after the first commercial break was CRINGE!!!! •Why'd they mid-cut Kevin Bull, he was advertised to be the star of the episode! •Why do they keep turning personal tragedies into fluff pieces, that's so insensitive! But the people involved are okay with it, I guess. • They mid-cut Josh Levin too?!?!?! Other Notes:•Wow, the Kacy Count EXPLODED during Rebekah Bonilla’s run! •Were competitors not allowed to grab the bar at the top of the Elevator Climb? •”Now remember, Akbar loves you.” •I see David Campbell went to the “Sam Sann School of Cutting It Close!” Kacy Count: 17 Jessie Count:2 Fluff Piece Count:8 Digested:•Tiana Webberley •Alan Connealy •Brian Wilczewski •Flip Rodriguez (WHY?) •David Campbell Cut:•No one significant in the Top 15.

The people that I think were cut and none were in top 15 were Brent Bundy, Westley Silvestri, Tyler Vogt and K.C. Halik. I dont have any memory of them being shown today, but correct me if I am wrong.

Weird episode. I feel like I should have liked it, due to the high success rate and decent editing, but the success just got boring after a while.

Is this not Nagano after the reaction to the Campbell fail? Yeah, but I didn't even notice that; plus, no mention of him.

I was disappointed when they digest Flip, Alan, and David the three that competed pre ANW 4 (In This Regional Finals)

Something didn't feel right about Finals last night. The course wasn't that tough and the Floating Pegboard was a big disappointment. The course just wasn't exciting enough, only interesting part was the last-minute upset.

I felt like that the Los Angeles course was too easy since 10 people made it to the stair hopper and there was no real ninja killer
