Some of these absolutely baffle me. Bull not selected? Why?

[Al Bundy]

What about Josh Levin? Is he done on ANW?

[DeAndre]

Not sure whether this is part of it but I was scopin thru Brian Arnold's instagram. In july he said:

"ANW is time intensive and last few years I have other things I am focused on. 😃 Things may change."

Regardless I'm happy for him. Guy looks super strong still even off ANW

This may be opening up a can of worms, but a lot of ninjas won't be coming back next season by the looks of things with this vaccine mandate.

James McGrath applied, but wasn't selected. Though given he's declined badly since ANW 5 I can kind of see why. What is it with him and the Jumping Spider these days?

Yeah it's weird to see him fail the same obstacle three years in the row when he has beaten it fine before
