Watched yesterday's taping, was a fun watch indeed although I only watched the second stage in the afternoon, I think the second stage taping began around 2PM. Also had a photo with Morimoto (man, when I shook his hands it looks muscular lol), Edelmann and one of the Indonesian competitors (I forgot who was it, it seems like it was Max).
2nd Stage obstacles :
- Silk Slider - Some failed due to their legs touching the water.
- Floating Steps - someone got disqualified due to grabbing the black ropes, but he had a respectable time if not for that. Some others fell down.
- Something that looked like a swing and cargo net (forgot the name) - important to time, some competitors took longer than the others to complete the stage due to not gaining enough momentum to swing to the net
- Butterfly Wall, direct transition to Rope Climb - some competitors got a direct transition to Rope Climb (rotated the wall 180 degrees then jump), some other took a full loop on the wall before transition
And I found out that Kawaguchi and Matachi also smokes (Kawaguchi used a cigarette holder when smoking). I tried to ask them to smoke Indonesian cigarettes (preferably kreteks), but it doesn't seem to work (they smoked Japanese brands, probably Mevius).
I also saw Nomadic Ninja watching on the tribunes. Hioki was enjoyable to watch off-screen too, he had a short talk with one of the crowd members on the tribune, that guy shouts some Indonesian words and Hioki just smiled with a funny reaction.
They also had a birthday celebration for Daniel Gil since his birthday was on the day before the taping (May 13). And also, there's a funny moment when Drew wanted to take the photos after the taping ended - he climbed to the top (the beginning of 2nd stage first obstacle) with the platform's railing instead of taking the stairs
And today's the taping for the third and final stages, but I won't watch it.

{Spoiler}A competitor fell to the water on Floating Steps and his fall was made fun of by himself and his colleagues. His way of diving off was funny, according to the host and himself. [Can I reveal who's that guy? I will put them on the spoilers]
I think all Indonesian competitors completed the second stage, the others, not so much.
