Vegas

[thomasladder]

I know Vegas just got done filming. Does anybody have any spoilers related to Vegas this year? Any leaks would be greatly appreciated.

[kid0h]

They have a split decision at the end of stage 1, and only 68 competitors in Vegas compared to the usual nearly 100.

[Ninja Warrior Ryan]

Ah, you're new here.

[jfan02]

I'm anxious for some spoilers myself, but I wonder how many people actually got to attend?

[Messup434]

Did anyone get to? I hope so, but thought not.

I feel like that's pretty cool but everyone on this classic sub would legit drop a brick in their pants if that happened.

Having split decision in Vegas. A lot of people on this forum are really OG ninja fans and so things that break the overall 'rules' of the show in the official four stage course like the Safety Pass are pretty frowned upon. Not saying this is a good or bad opinion to have though.

[jfan02]

At least we know the Safety Pass is not a sure thing. Sure, Drew Drechsel was able to win it all after using it on Stage 1 two years ago, but 1 guy actually failed on his re-do, so, like I said, the Safety Pass is not a sure thing.

Can't wait to see what they have in store. It's being released in... bloody September though

Some vegas spoilers (obstacles that i saw from like the three seconds in the semis episode)

{Spoiler}
Stage 1 seems to be confirmed to have a split decision past the w.w. as stated by... another user on this platform. You can see a high element on the left and a low element on the right; maybe a mix between balance and upperbody again?

Stage Two has the striding steps (from allstars) as the first obstacle. As the second, I seem to be able to see the same high element as the second obstacle as seen as the seventh on s1, so maybe there's another split decision there? hrmm.

Looks like Daniel Gil is missing Vegas due to COVID contact tracing, it’s a damn shame.

[Ninja Warrior Ryan]

Vegas episode discussion is up on its dedicated thread. Preview is posted of stage 1.

[DeAndre]

Well, it's time again. I haven't done predictions in so long so I thought why not waste some time. Let's see how wrong I am.

OVERALL

The fact that they need to have an extra half-episode for S2 despite having a large, large reduction in the number of people in Vegas compared to S10 for example to me means 25+ clears on Stage One and probably upwards of 5 Stage Two clears. Last Man Standing to me probably is between Jay Lewis and Joe Moravsky, although I see a lot of brilliant athletes going very far this year. I think the biggest 'shock' would be Daniel Gil - I'm not sure whether he'll perform as well as he did in S12 here.

COURSE:

Stage One's already out. From what I can see in Adam Rayl's preview, the

{Spoiler}
Falling Shelves, tube-ish version of Swing Surfer, backend of V Formation and Air Surfer

are sort of confirmed for Stage Two. But as for my predictions on Stage Two, I'll imagine the configuration is sort of like this-

1. Striding Steps.

2. Salmon Ladder will be removed.

3. Split Decision - Falling Shelves. or V Formation

4. Swing Surfer.

5. Newie. Saw some sort of Bar Hop like cradles in that slot with angled trusses... hmm...

6. Not the Water Walls, I don't think.

My brain's too muddled to think about what crazy s*** they've cooked up for Stage Three.

STAGE ONE PREDICTIONS

Daniel Gil                                   CLEAR - but barely. It hasn't felt like his season this year.
Brian Burkhardt                          CLEAR (no Safety Pass usage)
Max Feinberg (teen/rookie)         CLEAR
Abel Gonzalez                            Time out
Owen Dyer (teen/rookie)            5. Tire Run
Deren Perez                              5. Tire Run
Ryan Meeks                               Dunno, he was all cut
Isaiah Thomas (teen/rookie)       4. Jumping Spider
Christian Youst (teen/rookie)      CLEAR or 5. Tire Run
Elijah Browning (teen/rookie)     3. Double Dipper
Isaiah Wakeham                        4. Jumping Spider
Anthony Porter                          CLEAR. One of the pretty solid rookies this season
Lance Pekus                              5. Tire Run

Dan Champagne (rookie)              CLEAR. One of my more convinced clears for this season.
Rachel Degutz (rookie)                 3. Double Dipper

John Uga                                    3. Double Dipper or CLEAR?? Man manages to stumble through everything, I wouldn't be surprised to see him on Stage Two.
Casey Rothschild                        5. Tire Run
Cara Mack                                 2. Swinging Blades

Might do the rest later, hehe
