Six contestants who fell on stage one-and would have been eliminated in any other season-made it to stage two, including Flip Rodriguez and Elijah Browning. In order to seed those races, the producers guaranteed 24 contestants would make it to stage two.įlip Rodriguez and Hans Hertz race each other through stage two of the American Ninja Warrior 15 Las Vegas finals (Photo by Elizabeth Morris/NBC) This year, the finals course was easier to move through, as falling or not completing the course in time was not necessarily disqualifying.Īll of this was because the Las Vegas finals’ stage two was changed to a head-to-head, ninja vs. Roman benefitted from that, falling on stage one but getting a second chance to complete it thanks to the safety pass he won earlier. The final four stages are unforgiving: tough obstacles and no second chances-well, unless a contestant has a safety pass, which allows them a second chance. I ask that question because of all the changes American Ninja Warrior made this season.įirst, it changed its semifinal rounds to add ninja versus ninja races, and then made even more changes to its format for the Las Vegas finals.

So Vance Walker-who already won American Ninja Warrior Junior twice-won American Ninja Warrior season 15 and $1 million after beating Daniel Gil’s time by more than one second.Ī pre-written NBC blog post said, “Fans are pumped to celebrate the history-making Champion of Season 15 in one of the toughest competitions yet.” Was it really? Or does the win come with an asterisk? ANW 15 made its Las Vegas finals easier Here are those who made it to stage four and their finishing times: Half of ANW 15’s eight finalists were 18 or under, including the youngest-ever to compete on stage four, Nacssa Garemore, who was “barely out of middle school,” as co-host Akbar Gbajabiamila said. My local affiliate, WESH, kept trying to cut in with severe weather updates and having technical difficulties-perhaps due to the severe weather!-so I’m not sure if this happened just in Central Florida or elsewhere, too.) (The audio for the feed I watched was odd: at one point, descriptive audio turned on, and during Hans Hertz’s stage three run, Matt and Akbar’s commentary was not audible, so it was just audience sounds and music, which was surreal. “This is where his cerebral palsy may have an effect,” co-host Matt Iseman said as Vance Walker traversed part of stage three without any discernible struggle.

We found out after plenty of American Ninja Warrior’s trademark filler, bio packages full of the same details that have been repeated all season, and were repeated again as they ran the actual course. Would it be one of the teenage contestants to win it all? The episode opened with a montage of clips of some of this season’s teenage finalists talking about American Ninja Warrior they were even younger.
