Ninja Warrior

Mr E

Anyone watching this on Challenge in the evenings?

At a glance, its just another Takeshi's Castle clone. However, you have to be a seriously strong and fit athlete to make it to the end of the 4 stage assault courses.

I was glued to this last year - the new season started recently, so I'm hooked again.

Stuart Hall (the commentator) is much more entertaining than Craig Charles too, and more refined (no made up words like "Wazzock" or belittling phrases like "Happy Clappy Jappy Chappy").

Its hard not to like (and enjoy) Hall's infectious enthusiasm for what he is commentating on.

Great show.

Sorry about necroing this thread, beats starting a new one though. :P Just watching some of it on Challenge at the moment, anyone got any idea when the new season is starting on it?

Also, I hate Stuart Hall. :P

I love ninja warrior! There's tryouts for the show in la, 10 people will get to go to japan and compete, only problem is you have to be an american citizen! There's an online fame on the G4 website, just google ninja warrior online game!

I'm 24 my mates all love it to and we're around the same age, when I seen it first at a glance I thought it would be another gimmick show like "ti castle"

But man o man you have to be one seriously seriously fit person to compete, you have olympic medalists failing, and when its more or less an upper body even for the most part, having an Olympic "ringist" failing says alot.

Roll on more, love the commentary also.
