End of American Ninja Warrior, Season 6

On September 8, the final episode of American Ninja Warrior was shown on NBC. I am a big fan of the show. Here is where we'll talk about what happened.

There were 18 finishers in Stage 1.  For more on what there about to face lets go down to the 3rd Member of our team Jenn Brown. First up is the Rope Jungle Followed by the Double Salmon Ladder. Then its the Unstable Bridge. Next is the second new obstacle the Butterfly Wall and the Metal Spin. And finally, athletes have to face the Wall Lift, do that in under 2 minutes and 5 seconds and you will move on to Stage 3.

J.J Woods ( 27, Miami, Florida) goes out on the very first rung of the Double Salmon Ladder.

Brian Arnold (36, Brighton, Colorado) the man who's made it further than anyone else, goes out on the Unstable Bridge.

Yen Chen ( 29, Encino, California) goes out on the leap of the Butterfly Wall.

Dr. Noah Kaufman (39 Fort Collins, Colorado), who trains with Brian Arnold, goes out on the Unstable Bridge also.

Dan Galiczynski's (25, Ivyland, Pennsylvania) forearms give out at the end of the first Unstable Bridge.

Ryan Stratis (31, Kennesaw, Georgia) is the first to reach the Metal Spin but fails.

Andrew Lowes ( 32, Antioch , Illinois) also reaches the Metal Spin by being the first to get his feet on the landing platform.

Isaac Caldiero ( 33, Boulder, Colorado) is part of the 4 members of the Colorado Wolf Pack, alongside Brian Arnold, Noah Kaufman, and Ian Dory who will be running later. But he shockingly misses the 3rd rung.

Jo Jo Bynum ( 36, Huntsville, Alabama) is dealing with Food Poisoning, and down he goes on the Double Salmon Ladder transition to the Unstable Bridge. He can't swim. But fortunately he's OK.

Abel Gonzalez ( 30, Edinburg, Texas) a rookie fails on the Double Salmon Ladder transition.

If a rookie can't do it how about a veteran, the 40 year-old Travis Rosen ( Franklin, Tennessee)  can't complete the Metal Spin. But with only 7 runners left, we could be out of luck.

Up next is Chris Wilczewsk ( 25, Mt. Laurel, New Jersey) competing with a fractured finger. Gets his knees on the Metal Spin but he doesn't have the core strength to hold on.

Joshua Cook ( 27, Potsville, Arkansas) even with his 6'0" frame can't do the Butterfly Wall. 

This is it the last chance for the Denver Wolf Pack, its Ian Dory (24, Fort Collins, Colorado) and down he goes on the Metal Spin.

Up next is Joe Moravsky ( 25, Sherman, Conneticut ). And guess what he does? Complete the course with 1.29 seconds left.

Paul Kasemir ( 28, Longmont, Colorado) after failing on Stage 2 the last 2 years is no different failing on the Unstable Bridge.

Lorin Ball ( 28, Golden, Colorado) a break dancer spent over a minute on Rope Jungle fatigued out on the Double Salmon Ladder.

But with 1 runner left Joe Moravsky could have company. It is Elet Hall ( 23, Cavetown, Maryland) the fastest from Stage 1. And he does it again, with 13.34 seconds left.


First up is Cannonball Incline and the Doorknob Grasper, followed by the Floating Boards and the Ultimate Cliffhanger then the Propellor Bar and the Hang Climb, followed by the Spider Flip and the Flying Bar.


First up is Elet Hall. But down he goes on the Floating Boards.

One last chance for $500,000 and it is Joe Moravsky. But he fails on the Hang Climb. 

The producers want to make it hard so they don't have to give out $500,000. I think that is honorable. I think it was a little frustrating because no one wins.
