As we move into the American Ninja Warrior City Finals, this series of “What you didn’t see” articles will probably get less surprising. With only 30-35 Ninjas competing in each region now, versus the 100-115 that ran in each Qualifying round, the producers have more more opportunity to feature most of the Ninjas.
But let’s stay consistent! There are a few things there wasn’t time to pack into the exciting first episode of the City Finals.
We saw on TV: 28 finalists try to make it to Vegas
Night of recording: 33 Ninjas took the course
We saw on TV: 6 fails at the Battering Ram
Night of recording: Yup, 6 Ninjas were stuck here!
We saw on TV: 6 Ninjas dropped on the Swinging Pegboard
Night of recording: 9 Ninjas couldn’t navigate the new obstacle
We saw on TV: 3 Ninjas fall at Cannonball Drop
Night of recording: 5 Ninjas only made it to the second obstacle
