American Ninja Warrior

Okay, I kind of dropped the ball for Oklahoma City's Qualifier this year. I was out of town, so I didn't have time to sit down and write. As a result, I will be combining these two cities for an extra long post. So, let's start with OKC. This year, I don't seem to have many qualms with the courses/obstacles. The only problem I've had all year is the Bouncing Spider (I think that's what it's called) that was in Atlanta. So, I guess I'll skip to the ninjas. Obviously, we should start with Daniel Gil. Two weeks ago, when Drew scored both the $10k and the Speed Pass, I thought it was kind of a one in a million chance sort of thing. It takes a very special athlete to be able to obtain both of these coveted prizes in one run. I should not have doubted Gil in any way, though.

They are still the same; I still don't like it, but if you want to know why, you can look at the qualifiers/finals from the cities Jake Murray was in two years ago and Daniel Gill was in last year. Those were the cities, I believe, in which the Bouncing Spider was in previously. Let's talk about Drew and Tyler first. If I had known these two were both competing in this city, I definitely would have bet on them competing against each other. I knew Drew would be in Atlanta, but I wasn't sure about Tyler. Anyway, I love them both, but I still don't feel so great about the Power Tower, so I feel bitter-sweet about Drew winning the Speed Pass. I stand by the City Finals, and I think they are good competitors. I...
