Well, today we thought we’d be celebrating the new American Ninja Warrior champion with you. However, the season 12 finale was pushed to Friday, November 6 to give space to the ongoing election coverage.
As we while away the hours, we’re keeping our thoughts squarely on the approaching season finale. To that end, let’s take a look at some preview photos from the episode! We think these are pretty spoiler-free, so you should be safe.
Zuri Hall has been fantastic all season. You can tell she genuinely enjoys her time with the Ninjas.

We are a little sad that we only have one episode left of Matt Iseman and Akbar Gbajabiamila’s banter and puns this season.
