I had to share this meme I saw on Twitter while it was still relevant.

I had to share this meme I saw on Twitter while it was still relevant. I was honestly hoping other things from that speech... Eh... Does that mean everything (including the news) gets pushed 30 minutes?! This will be confusing...

Top 15 overall Attachment DeletedTop 2 women Attachment DeletedThe show was interrupted for half an hour at the start of the second hour (Central Time), but fortunately, the network continued where it was interrupted so nothing was missed. The show just ended half an hour later.

The biggest thing that confuses me is that Jeremiah Morgan who was a former stage 3 competitor got completely cut from the broadcast. I would have thought they would have at least made a passing mention.

Thanks everyone! They seem to throw "history has been made" around a lot , but seemed to neglect mentioning that 6 walk-ons will advance to the national finals. I'm reduced to a thumb nail once again. You killed it Ben and stayed dry!!!

Highs:
• That from-behind camera angle on the Crank It Up is really cool! • Mitch Vedepo was on a whole other level tonight! It’s a shame he fell so close to the top of the Lever Climb, hoping he goes far in Vegas! • Holy crap, Kyle Mendoza was FAST! I saw potential in him last year, and he really showed it tonight! At least, you know… until he fell. Lows:
• The first guy who made it to the Floating Monkey Bars was so close to clearing it! • RIP Ethan Swanson, I really wanted to see him go far this year. • I hate how Matt and Akbar keep saying that people fail by running out of grip. That 'Kilt Ninja' guy didn’t, you could clearly see that he fell when the bar rolled out from under his hands. • RIP Dan Polizzi, looks like the Towers of Power aren’t competing in Vegas together for yet another year… • They did the ‘first mom up the Warped Wall’ thing from last week (Or was it the week before?) again with Maggi Thorne, for everyone’s sake I’m not gonna repeat myself. • RIP BOTH Towers of Power, that was unexpected. 😯{Spoiler} • ARGH they spoiled Meagan Martin making it to the Wedge next week!
Other:
• I thought the guy who kicked the second Bar Hop bar away was Geoff, he confused me with his Ninja Brittens shirt 😕• Why was the arm wrestler guy’s name Brad Spine and not Brad Bicep or Brad Forearm? • Tyler Yamauchi probably would’ve cleared, had he not fallen on the Iron Maiden. • WOW, no clears again, looks like the rumors were true... Kacy Count:
0 Jessie Count:
19 Fluff Piece Count:
13 Cut:
• Jeremiah Morgan • And our very own Ben Baker and Donovan Metoyer (Sucks that you guys got cut AGAIN, congrats on making it to Vegas!)

{Spoiler}Lance got to the Floating Monkey Bars, so he still qualified. ah. Also idk how but I somehow thought the Towers of Power both went earlier and both failed the broken pipes. Turns out just half of them ran and go figure the other one winds up failing there anyway. Sheesh I predicted something fierce. O.O (Also it's like Takeda and Shingo on the dang fishbone in Ninja Machine... What is Ninja Machine?

Jeremiah Morgan is the most underrated competitor. He got the fastest time in Dallas and Houston Finals but he got overshadowed by Kacy Catanzaro and Sam Sann.
In his first year at Vegas he failed the Spin Bridge but he was cut. The next year he got Double Digested and Mid-Cut even if he made it to the the Cliffhanger.
Now he gets Double Cut. I won't be surprised if he doesn't get invited the following year.

Yamauchi WOULD have cleared. He's nearly as strong as Geoff Britten, if not as strong. He said he wasn't even pumped there.
Overall, what a horrible, depressing episode. I wanted to see more difficult front halves to prevent the 8th obstacle from destroying the field. I didn't want to see that. Not to mention the 8th obstacle STILL destroyed the field.
One positive I have was actually the battle between the two Sarah's. After seeing Schoback's horrible dance moves, then saying Heesen needed to work on her moves after her moves were CLEARLY better (not to mention how Heesen's been beasting it in the NNL recently), I wanted Heesen to get the second spot badly. I was on the edge of my seat when Schoback was on the pipes.
PS Ethan Swanson down=RIP my fantasy team.

In his first year at Vegas he failed the Spin Bridge but he was cut. The next year he got Double Digested and Mid-Cut even if he made it to the the Cliffhanger. He actually never failed the Spin Bridge. He didn't compete in Vegas in ANW 6 due to religious reasons. This is also why he didn't compete in ANW 8.
