After months of waiting, the new American Ninja Warrior will air this Wednesday, December 8th, on G4 at 8 pm Eastern. It has been confirmed that G4 will show 3 one-hour episodes back-to-back-to-back covering all the activities that went down in Venice Beach. I can only deduce that means everything from the opening round where about 250 people ran the course, including myself, during that awesome public “festival” on Saturday and Sunday. I also assume this means they’ll show the semi-finals of the top 30 runners from the opening round that happened on Monday in Venice Beach on a closed set. All in all, it should be 3 hours of American Ninja Warrior goodness.
I think there is a pretty good chance they’ll show my run…my kids would love to see it! In any case, watching it I’m sure will bring back the adrenaline and amazing camaraderie of that experience, and I look forward to seeing my friends compete (even though I was there, I missed some of their runs). I also look forward to being able to talk and blog in more detail about my experience, it’s been hard to operate under the Cone of Silence of their non-disclosure agreement these past few months.
I guess the following week, if I am right about the above breakdown, the show should cover the 15 finalists who performed the best in the semi-finals and their experience living in the training house for a week together Big-Brother-style where they competed against each other for the coveted 10 spots to go on Team America and compete in the legendary Ninja Warrior in Japan (Sasuke 26) against all our favorite Ninja Warrior competitors. Then maybe the week after that they show the top 10 competitors in Japan, but I’m not sure about that…maybe they will lump that into next week. But in any case, set your DVRs!
