American Ninja Warrior. Do you watch?

[cindelamine]

We have been watching American N.W. on G4TV. They have a new thing where the guys have to go to boot camp & endure all kinds of things to try to win a chance to go to the Ninja Warriors in Japan. It reminds me of Endurance & Survivor.

It is amazing the things people can do.

Does anyone else watch it?

I think I've seen it before? How new is it? I think I saw it (or something like it) a few years ago.

Brand new. They are re-running it on G4TV today, last weeks 2 shows re-running Wed afternoon. But brand new, never before seen episodes Wednesday night!

It is not like the 1 from a couple years ago. These guys had to compete with thousands to go to Boot Camp. Then the stuff at boot camp is really hard & if your team loses even by 1 second of time, you have to choose 2 people from your team to try the rope climb whoever loses that goes home.

It is not a regular rope climb. I think it is 6 stories high. And you have to do it in 1 minute or see who is closest to the top in 1 minute or something like that.

When they climbed a rope on a wall & then did the 'flag' I was blown away. I did not know anyone could pull themselves into a flag position just using the hands. I mean they are hanging there vertically by their hands & then have to lift there whole body out to a horizontal position like a flag& stay that way as long as they can! 1 guy was amazing at that! It was like he could stand on air!!! Unbelievable!

It was great tonight! Now the 10 finalists go to Japan to compete in a 2 hour show on G4tv tomorrow night.

So much reminds me of Endurance, but much harder team relays & tests!

It was so fantastic!
We watched the finale last night. I hope some of you can see it in re-runs. Talk about Endurance, those guys really endure a lot!
