Can you believe we only have one episode left of the season 13 American Ninja Warrior Semifinals? Tonight’s episode (Monday, August 23) will bring us our final group of competitors looking to get to the National Finals. That makes this our last batch of preview photos for Los Angeles, so let’s get going!

Light spoilers ahead, so be wary!

Up there at the top of the article, we have Jesse Labreck. Can she get a THIRD buzzer on a 10-obstacle course.

Let’s just take a moment to appreciate this team who have busted their butts to entertain us all season.
