“Blueprints” lol, no. Things are 3d modeled and kept close. There is a book of obstacle options, and about 3/4 of them have been seen in the show or in other concepts. The copy I have is from that era, and wouldn’t have helped at all. If ATS was doing this, anyone caught would be fired and they would lose their most lucrative product. I’ve worked for them, and this would be in insane if true. It’s not. Standards and practices is a real Thing for game shows, with serious consequences. Beyond all that, obstacles change constantly, including right up to filming, especially in Vegas. Small changes make large usage changes. We used to get pictures of obstacles and replicate them, within 12 hours and try them. It was never even close. Some ninjas have gotten to try some obstacles, usually for photo shoots, but they were always careful to not let ninjas try obstacles they may be trying later on. I’ve personally been a part of that with ninjas like Kacy, Jessie, drew, etc. And after all that - if anyone leaked anything, it wouldn’t be from ATS. It would be from NBC or A-smith. I highly doubt that, though. Btw - no one cares if you talk about old things or things that did t make air like obstacles breaking, reruns, etc. unless it’s really big or spoiling things. Brian breaking the cliffhanger in season 5, stage 3? No big deal. People not competing from covid + tests? No one cares. Letting a large number of competitors rerun stage 3 in season 11, no one cares. The amount of reruns or interesting things happening has risen dramatically since the later seasons, with complex obstacles becoming the norm. I’d love to hear about real stories from seasons I wasn’t apart of

It was on the double helix when he made an early dismount and his foot almost dipped in the water. The red showed but on replay they realized he didn't tap the water. Most DQs aren't aired on TV. Most DQs are accidental contact with a support piece or truss. For example in LA 2015, the Spin Cycle was a DQ machine. Or in 2016 Atlanta a few were disqualified on the Big Dipper. Using the Truss to help you dismount is usually considered a no-no. I remember in 2013 Thomas Stefanik had cleared Denver Qualifying, but was later disqualified for putting both hands on a side of the Grip Hang. I've heard of instances of NBC totally deleting a competitors' results from a competition even before the Drew blacklisting. (Will Dodd 2013, Jason Soares 2014, Sean Bennett 2014, Shane Daniels 2013) It's all really weird how it works but stuff like that is all NBC's discretion
With NDA's and competition, majority of ppl violate it, it's really only enforced if you are caught. Like when competitors made replicas of obstacles in the ATS obstacle testing warehouse. Or when someone online leaks results early and is banned from attending events. Just keep spoilers in your private chats until the episode airs, and then ur pretty much free to discuss what happened in most cases.
oh yeah idk if im allowed 2 say this but nbc has ats send blueprints of the obstacles ahead of time to the top stars so they can practice early. i'm not against it tbh, cause it helps get better results. i'd honestly do the same. This seems highly suspect, I know most of everything that has gone on at the highest level and have not even heard a rumor of this until now. If it happened it woulda had to be someone inside ATS, the producers have definitely given hints on "suggestions to practice" to certain ninjas, but never "blue prints."

Letting a large number of competitors rerun stage 3 in season 11, no one cares. Wait, this was a thing? Thought that was just a season 10 Stage 2 thing cos of Deja Vu. Anyone care to explain?
