American Ninja Warrior

Any fans? I enjoy watching some good, mindless television now and than, so I've watched most of this season.

 

Watched it earlier tonight. It amuses me how "hardcore" people make themselves out to be then turn around and fail on the first obstacle.

The "pro" rock climber thought he was so athletic and failed asap.

 

Yea, you've got to love when the cocky guys fail. It kind of annoys me when they let the "wildcard" competitors in though, it takes away from the show IMO

 

I don't quite understand what you mean?

The "wild cards" aren't winners, they're people who've been given a second chance.

 

I had a mis-type. I meant to say IN not WIN. And I find that by letting people who failed, compete with those who battled their way through the course and earned the right to be there, kind of takes away from the experience.

 

They do it for a reason, they need competitors. If they didn't do so the episodes would be 5-10 minutes long. The wild cards allow productions to proceed while giving others a second chance.

 

I watched it at my girlfriends house. It was pretty cool. The one gymnastics coach who came up 1/3 of a second short was a moron. He like stood around for hours at multiple of the obstacles.

 

Completely agree.

I was laughing so hard at how disappointing he was.

 

I like it. Watched it a few years ago. Is it a yearly show?

 

Yep, I think this is the sixth maybe seventh season. They have about 12 episodes a year I believe.

 

Yea it sucked for him but he really needed to move his ass.
