My favorite thing about Ninja Warrior is how when I started watching I was like, “Oh, this looks pretty interesting.” Ten minutes into my first episode I had my fists pressed to my mouth, howling “Noooo!” at the TV as someone failed to make that last obstacle before the red button. It gets under your skin that fast.

If no one’s said it yet, I just want to add that their attitude is very “Japanese.” No, I’m not just some white girl stereotyping. I grew up in Hawaii which has an incredibly strong Japanese population. I’ve been a student of the language and culture since thirteen. I LOVE how the Japanese culture is group-oriented and humble. There is a lot of focus on taking responsibility for your own actions (which explains the “should have trained harder”).

For clarification, I’m not writing off there attitude like, “Oh, that’s just how they’re raised to be.” I think we should all strive for this kind of attitude towards fitness! I’m just giving an unsolicited culture lesson :]

I suppose you could say that Wipeout is the American version of Ninja Warrior. Except they made it into a complete joke and added pretty colors.

And I agree. The feats these people pull off and the obstacles they overcome is outstanding!
