Am I the only one confused by the 'don't touch the caution tape' rule? It seems to come and go entirely at random, especially on the fallen ladder bridge where people keep grabbing it with no repercussions and in the 4th episode the commentator even said it was a legit strategy to sort of cling across it rather than balancing? I think the short answer is that they should have used two different types of tape. I'm pretty sure the rule only applies to the Door Ladder and Twister.

They definitely should have used a second colour, red perhaps, for the no-touch zones, because if it's confusing to watch, it must have been more confusing to run!

On the door ladder you were able to touch it.
On the balance obstacle, you were not allowed.
On the twister, I can't remember.
That's how it was explained to competitors.

The one dude in episode 2 used it to get up the twister and they did not say anything I think they did say something in the video, though it didn't matter. Anyway, I was referring to what they told us in person - and I couldn't remember. Whether they followed through with those rules is different entirely. Honestly it seems like there are very few hard and fast rules. Those things are all in place to make it harder, not to actually disqualify you.

Re: money I just assumed that enough time had passed and Higuchi's other business was doing well enough for him to take a chance. The website has changed since I last checked (which admittedly was a while ago) but the whole venture looks to have expanded: www.goldschool.jp/

I'm actually kind of enjoying watching a few people's runs each day. It's kind of nice to come home from work and the next part is up. Looking at the number of views though, I think I might be one of very few people who's enjoying it... lol

Wow. So many people failed the first obstacle. It was more difficult than I thought it would be, but I didn't expect that many people to fail it. It's just such an awkward jump to make. You don't have much to hold on to, and you're facing left and have to jump to the right. Super awkward.

Are we going to talk about the guy's shorts in the background around 1:43ish? Or are we not going to because of word filters on the site?
