Anyone else watch this show? In their sixth season, Kacey Catanzaro, a 5'0" former gymnast from NJ, became the first woman to complete their qualifying course, highlighted by her scaling a 14' wall.

I watch it. Mindless amusement. Thought two hours of it was too much though.

Would be twice as good if it were half as long.

So I don't feel bad about sleeping through some of it, waking up for a few competitors, falling asleep, etc

I like the show. I would like to try the course, not necessarily compete in it.
All the shirtless guys are a nice bonus.

It's a perfect show for the DVR.

Anyone watch last night? This was one of the most impressive physical achievements I've ever seen.

No, but I am a fan of MST3K's MASTER NINJA and the truly brilliant GYMKATA.

It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.” ~ Muhammad Ali

^I watched. I may have teared up a little. My niece is a gymnast and it's been great sharing Kacy's accomplishments with her. She now wants to compete, too.

We watched it too and were cheering for her. That jump on the turning frames (or whatever they call them) was really impressive.

I watch it on occasion. I miss G4's marathons of the original Ninja Warrior, which always stuck to tight 30 minute episodes focusing more on the course than sob stories.
