In tonight’s American Ninja Warrior episode, it was Night Two of the Semifinals! The contestants were now directly racing against each other. It was all about the furthest they can get against the other competitor and a buzzer wouldn’t hurt either. Even if they were too slow to the buzzer, there’s still a chance they can make it into the next round if they have the fastest time out of the non-winners. They will have to win the Runoffs if that’s the case. The first pairing up tonight was Luke Dillon and Ramcis Valdez. They share curly hair if not the same haircare regimen. And they were eager to race against each other.
However, there was a clear lead. Ramcis was faster. He was the expected winner until he had a surprising fall and Luke caught up. He managed to keep going. He eventually made it to the wall where he climbed up and hit the buzzer. He was the first winner of the night only Ramcis’s timing could mean he gets to run in the Runoffs. He has to wait and see. There was competition between the ladies next. Casey Rothschild and Taylor John ran against each other. Casey was in the lead right up until she also suffered a surprising fall.
Taylor otherwise known as Teach continued on. She didn’t get to complete the course, but she did make it further pass Casey and she will be going to Vegas for the first time in her veteran career. Next up was James McGrath vs Evan Bomegen. Evan was a baby. This was his rookie year and he was almost a foot shorter than James the beast McGrath. This was a test of old guard vs new guard. Evan truly never had a chance against such a fierce competitor. James was faster. He was more skilled. He hit a buzzer while poor Evan was still on the obstacles.
Then there was the Addy Herman vs Brittany Durant. Both of these young women were finishers. This was a true test of equals and Addy proved to be just a little quicker and a lot neater. She even took a moment to breathe. Brittany caught up to her only she later fell. Addy continued and she was so close to the buzzer. She fell because she lacked the grip strength to hang on and thankfully she was still going to Vegas. She will be joined by her boyfriend. Next up Jonathan Godbout bs Verdale Benson.
Verdale was an army veteran. He was also a bodybuilder that could dead-lift over five hundred pounds. He was pure muscle. He was over twenty years older than Jonathan. Jonathan was a rocker. He plays in a band. He didn’t have a lot of experience and so he asked Verdale not to hurt him if he won. Only Verdale was in the lead. He was fast. He was doing great until his shocking fall. Jonathan continued on and he hit his first buzzer in the Semifinals. Next up was Emily Gardner vs Michelle Warnky Burma.
Michelle was the veteran. She had almost twenty years on Emily. Emily saw Michelle as an idol and took inspiration from her. Michelle was just coming back after having a baby, but she was still a fierce competitor. She started out the race in the lead. She took her time. She gave herself moments to breathe and unfortunately Emily caught up. They both fell on Hopscotch. Emily got there first and so the rookie won this battle. The Phoenix rose again after that battle. Najee Richardson went up against Mazeiah Andrade.
It was another veteran vs rookie battle. The two guys greatly respected each other. This could be Najee’s final run and he still took the time to amp up Mazeiah before their race. Both guys fells into the water on the exact same obstacle. Najee got there first and so its him that will be going to Vegas. It’s been a while for him. If he really does retire after this year, let’s hope it’s with the million dollar prize. It was a battle of the Jersey Girlz that went next. Abby Clark had to go up against her friend, Rachel DeGutz. They were both part of a group of ninjas known as the Jersey Girlz.
The two women train together. They’ve competed against each other for years and now one good friend had to send the other home. It became clear that Rachel would be the one to send Abby home. Rachel came out in the lead by being the fastest and she continued on long after her friend had fallen. Rachel hit her buzzer tonight. It was bittersweet that her friend couldn’t join her in Vegas though the group will be happy that at least one Jersey Girl made it. And the final race tonight ended up being Joe the Weatherman Moravsky against Noah Jones.
Noah was another baby. He was seven when Joe first began competing on ANW. He got Joe’s autograph and Joe could have taken it easy on him only he really wanted to go to Vegas this year. Joe went super-fast. He wanted the Safety Pass. He made the mistake of going too fast and he ended up falling not long after Noah did. Joe’s timing guarantees him a spot in Vegas. He just missed out on the Safety Pass. The two running in the Safety Pass were Josiah Pippel and Noah Meunier. And they both fell on the same obstacle.
It was unclear who won at first and so they had to watch the tape before Noah was ultimately named the winner.
THE END!
