How in the world are we already half way through season 12 of American Ninja Warrior? Time is flying and we’re swinging into night one of the Semi-Finals!
The Semi-Finals will consist of a 10-obstacle course. Like in the Qualifiers, only the top 12 from each episode advance, and the top two women if two women are not in the top 12. The Semi-Finals will take place over two episodes.
On the first segment of the Semi-Finals, we should see the competitors from the first two nights of the Qualifiers. Need a refresher on who that might be? Take a look at the preview photos below!
We selected these pictures to try to avoid any spoilers, so we didn’t include any of the back half of the course. But, if you’re a purist, maybe stop your fingers from scrolling right about now.
It looks like we’ve got an intimidating new balance obstacle.
