1
00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:03,920
BEN FORDHAM: Last night,
in the second of our four semifinals,
2
00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:05,840
experience counted...
3
00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:08,320
This is astonishing stuff.
4
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:11,480
..as just eight ninjas
rose above the rest
5
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:13,920
to claim a place in the grand final.
6
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:18,760
Like robot ninja Rob Patterson
and Alex the Mo Matthews
7
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:22,960
who completed the course
with the two fastest times.
8
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:27,680
As well as standout performances
from newcomers Jeff Gooch.
9
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:29,440
Go the Gooch.
10
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:31,240
And Stuart Furze who proved
11
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:34,040
they don't call him
the Furzinator for nothing.
12
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:36,600
(CHEERING)
13
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:39,360
But in a repeat of season one,
14
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:43,120
Andrea Ha narrowly missed
the grand final yet again.
15
00:00:43,160 --> 00:00:45,000
Oh, no!
16
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:48,200
Tonight, semifinal three
17
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:52,960
and 30 more elite ninjas take
on the toughest course yet.
18
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:56,600
The challenge is just going,
"No. I can do that."
19
00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:59,800
Determined to conquer it
the BMX ninja Daniel Walker.
20
00:00:59,880 --> 00:01:02,440
People might have underestimated me
being a BMX racer.
21
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:04,720
But watch me.
I'm going to smash that course.
22
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:07,360
The onesie ninja Laura Edwards.
23
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:10,160
To get through to the final
would be like I really made it.
24
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:14,400
And first in his heat,
barefoot ninja Daniel Mason.
25
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:17,880
Plus phenomenal gymnast
Celeste Dixon.
26
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:19,760
She made it up the warped wall
27
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:23,160
but can she join Olivia Vivian
in the grand final?
28
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:25,120
To get up that wall twice
would be awesome
29
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:28,760
but to get all the way to the end,
that would be unbelievable.
30
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:33,000
We'll find out tonight
on Australian Ninja Warrior.
31
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:43,080
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
32
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:51,560
Welcome back to the 2018 season
of Australian Ninja Warrior
33
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:56,280
and the stage is set for another
spectacular semifinal.
34
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:01,520
The heats have already showcased
some of Australia's most powerful,
35
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:04,840
most agile, strongest
and fittest athletes
36
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:07,080
but this course is not easy
37
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:11,120
and only the very best have survived
the heats to make it through.
38
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:15,240
Tonight, if our ninjas are good
enough, the grand final beckons.
39
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:17,480
30 ninjas will make the run tonight
40
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:20,800
and must adapt to a course which has
been extended for the semifinals.
41
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:24,160
The assignment awaiting them
is as tough as it gets
42
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:26,680
but these ninjas do
love a challenge.
43
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:29,720
Warming up for the night,
we've got the Enforcer.
44
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:32,600
Riot squad cop Jeffrey Merc.
45
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,560
Also, Antarctic adventurer
Steve Choate
46
00:02:35,640 --> 00:02:40,800
and the explosive power
of the commando Scott Evennett.
47
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:43,120
Representing our strong contingent
of women
48
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:45,800
who have made it
through to the semis this year,
49
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:49,640
one of six women up the warped wall
Celeste Dixon.
50
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:56,280
Road trip ninja Kirby Gibbons
and the onesie ninja Laura Edwards.
51
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:59,960
As always, ninjas come to us
with all sorts of great nicknames.
52
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:01,880
Tonight, we'll be seeing
the barefoot ninja,
53
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:05,320
the banana ninja
and the bogan ninja.
54
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:09,000
Take a look right now at what awaits
our ninjas
55
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,480
on tonight's obstacle course.
56
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:13,240
It's the semifinals
57
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:18,720
and nine bigger, badder obstacles
stand in the way of our ninjas.
58
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:21,560
First, it's the quadruple steps.
59
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:24,200
Four steps 1.5m apart.
60
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:27,440
Touch the water and you're out.
61
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:30,360
Next is the frame slider.
62
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:34,000
Competitors must brace themselves
within the frame
63
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,520
then slide down two
bone-jarring jolts.
64
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:38,320
One slip, and it's game over.
65
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:40,320
Then the broken pipes.
66
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:44,640
These have been deadly
so far in the semis.
67
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:46,560
The pipes spin
if you step off centre.
68
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:48,480
As we saw last night,
69
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:52,720
our ninjas have been finding
inventive ways of getting across.
70
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:55,400
The swinging pegboard is back.
71
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:58,960
Ninjas must use pegs to hold
their bodyweight
72
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,880
and traversed two swinging
peg boards.
73
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:05,760
Take too long
and you'll sap all your strength.
74
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:11,200
Ninjas burn more energy on the new
battering ram to pipe climber.
75
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:15,320
Up next, it's the warped wall.
76
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:16,960
It was the last obstacle in the heats
77
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:21,560
but in the semis, there are three
more brutal challenges to come.
78
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:26,400
First up, the dreaded salmon ladder
to floating monkey.
79
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:30,640
An obstacle that has terrorised
our ninjas so far in the semis.
80
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:34,840
Competitors must propel
themselves up three vertical rungs
81
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:38,840
and then traverse
the water using two movable bars.
82
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:44,840
Then tonight's second key obstacle -
the hourglass to tramp to bungee.
83
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:49,040
Finally, it's the 7m
chimney to rope climb.
84
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:53,240
Ninjas must dig deep
as they free climb the first 4m
85
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:58,440
and then pull themselves up the last
3m to press the buzzer at the top.
86
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:01,760
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
87
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:03,520
So that's what stands in their way.
88
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:07,040
Remember, we are looking
for the eight furthest fastest
89
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:10,040
to advance to the grand finals.
90
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:12,560
Let's bring out our first ninja.
91
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:14,360
He was Australia's first bachelor
92
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:17,840
and he's aiming to be Australia's
first ninja warrior.
93
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:20,560
He hurt his hamstrings in the heats
94
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:23,760
but still managed to qualify
for tonight's semi.
95
00:05:23,840 --> 00:05:28,200
A huge round of applause
for Tim Robards.
96
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:31,240
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
97
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:42,520
This year I was super
pumped for my heat.
98
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,040
I was facing off against
the bridge of blades
99
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,120
but I come unstuck on my second step
100
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:49,120
and the hamstring just went bang.
101
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:50,560
Oh, hang on.
102
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,080
He's just started clutching
the back of the knee.
103
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:56,320
Got through that, got to the next
one and went in the water.
104
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:57,880
That's alright.
105
00:05:57,960 --> 00:05:59,200
He's gone
to the second last obstacle.
106
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:01,520
Well done, Tim Robards.
107
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:03,240
Yeah, I was pretty surprised
with myself
108
00:06:03,280 --> 00:06:05,720
actually to get through that far.
109
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:09,040
Tonight's competition is probably
110
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:11,440
one of the most hardest semifinals
you'll ever face.
111
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:13,200
As a sports chiropractor,
112
00:06:13,280 --> 00:06:14,760
if I was talking
to one of my clients,
113
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:16,080
my patients, I'd probably say,
114
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,160
"You probably should sit it out
and wait it out for a bit."
115
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:21,000
This is a bit of a
once-in-a-lifetime thing
116
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,800
and, you know what,
I want to see where the story ends.
117
00:06:23,840 --> 00:06:25,680
The grand final is in reach.
118
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:29,560
I've put in the hard work
and I could get through.
119
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,000
Even if I live to the end,
I'm not quitting now.
120
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:39,840
Here is Tim Robards.
121
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:41,600
Looking terrible again this evening.
122
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:43,560
He's bloody beautiful.
123
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:45,440
Go, Tim!
124
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:47,640
New wife Anna on the sideline
125
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:51,720
with her mum and sister,
Tim's mum Tanya there to.
126
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:54,840
Here we go.
127
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:56,040
Semi three.
128
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:57,600
Now the quad steps.
129
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:01,480
See there? A much bigger leap
to that first step.
130
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:03,320
This will test that dodgy hammy.
131
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:06,680
Maybe a little cautious
but he's through.
132
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:08,480
And up to the frame slider.
133
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:09,840
Now Tim's a big guy.
134
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,680
90kg so holding that weight
is going to test him.
135
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,440
The trick is wedge yourself in.
136
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:17,240
Get as much grip with your feet
as you can.
137
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:21,320
Here he goes. Weight a little forward
one jolt, two.
138
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:23,920
Oh, Tim Robards.
139
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:26,160
Thrown out the front.
140
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:29,920
Disaster for the Bachelor
on just the second obstacle.
141
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,160
Tim got nice and high on the slider
142
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:36,000
but when he hits the first jolt,
his feet slip and he is thrown back.
143
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:38,720
He's off-balance for the second jolt
144
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:41,920
and then it was into the crash mat
and then the water.
145
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:44,320
Tim, that was so unlucky.
146
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:46,560
Just a slight misjudgement?
147
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:49,920
Yeah, but I think I was hoping
to go a bit faster
148
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:53,080
and that last little jump,
I was ready to bounce off
149
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:55,560
and I had one more jump
and it's just a silly mistake.
150
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:57,120
Yeah, Tim!
151
00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:58,840
Ladies and gentlemen,
the great man, Tim Robards.
152
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:01,600
Well done, mate. Top man. Oh...
153
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:03,480
Oh, lovely.
154
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:05,840
Cheers, mate.
155
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:13,920
Good to see that bromance is alive
and well but up next,
156
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,880
a man who is a little less cuddly.
157
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:20,640
You will remember him as an
unstoppable force in season one.
158
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:22,640
He's an ex-special forces soldier
159
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:25,880
who lives by the motto -
challenge accepted.
160
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:28,360
He is Scott Evennett.
161
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:32,840
I've definitely got something
to prove coming into season two.
162
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:36,440
This bloke is on fire.
163
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:37,920
This year, on Ninja Warrior,
164
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,680
the heats were a lot more
nerve-wracking actually.
165
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:43,320
I think the pressure was applied
from having done season one.
166
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:47,280
He is just carving through this
thing like a knife through butter.
167
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:49,320
When I first stepped down
in front of the wall
168
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:52,920
and looked up to there, the first
thought was, "You are gassed."
169
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:54,480
He is taking a breather.
170
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:55,520
He is taking his time.
171
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:56,840
He doesn't want to muck
the last bit up.
172
00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:58,000
Once I was focused on the top,
173
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:00,080
I just didn't stop running
until I got the hand over.
174
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:03,240
Hit the buzzer, smashed it.
175
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:07,040
Scott Evennett,
that was out of this world.
176
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:09,160
It's all a blur after that.
177
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:13,240
My approach to the semifinals
178
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:15,680
this year is one that I bring
from my military heritage.
179
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:17,280
Season one
is the reconnaissance mission.
180
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:18,640
Now, that information,
181
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:22,520
that intel that I've got
has gone into my training so, yes,
182
00:09:22,560 --> 00:09:23,560
you'll see beast mode
183
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:25,200
and, yes, you'll see the smarter
version of me.
184
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:27,400
The semifinals may have got me
last year
185
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:29,480
but there's no way
that's happening again.
186
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:31,160
Challenge accepted.
187
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:36,560
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
188
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:41,920
The competition has just gone up
a notch now.
189
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,720
Scott Evennett, the commando
from New South Wales,
190
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:46,880
blitzed his way through the heats.
191
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:51,480
Scott said tonight,
he's going into full beast mode.
192
00:09:51,560 --> 00:09:55,680
Oh, this course might not be
the same once he's done with it.
193
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:57,720
Come on, Scott.
194
00:09:57,760 --> 00:09:59,600
He's got it.
195
00:09:59,680 --> 00:10:03,280
Girlfriend Jenna on the left.
Dad Warren, sister Kate.
196
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:05,480
Big support in the stands
as well tonight.
197
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:11,680
No doubt about it,
he means business.
198
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:15,200
This bloke is a beast of a man.
199
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:17,320
He's not too tall
but just look at him.
200
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:20,920
He's a machine covered in muscles
201
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:24,040
and he's just got
that real determination.
202
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:25,480
The commando.
203
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:28,360
Frame slider now.
204
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:30,560
Now no one looks comfortable
on this.
205
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:33,200
He is in, he's off,
rides the first jolt
206
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:35,640
and the second and he's through.
207
00:10:35,680 --> 00:10:37,480
Now the broken pipes.
208
00:10:37,560 --> 00:10:39,960
It's proved a graveyard
for some of our top ninjas.
209
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,800
But no fear from Scott Evennett.
210
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:45,000
Oh, Scott Evennett, just fallen
onto the plug in the middle.
211
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:46,440
That fine. Come on, big lad.
212
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:47,960
Yes, Scott Evennett.
213
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:54,080
All our ninjas, when they get
through the broken pipes,
214
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:55,520
so relieved.
215
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:58,520
Such a tricky obstacle
and the crowd know it as well.
216
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:05,040
Now he takes on
the swinging pegboard.
217
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:06,960
Up onto that first board.
218
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:10,080
We've seen earlier in the semis,
219
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:13,280
Ben, this can make or break you
for the rest of the course.
220
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:17,840
He struggling a little bit though
to put those pegs into the board
221
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:19,960
and that means more time
holding himself up.
222
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:23,760
What he is doing well
is keeping those arms bent.
223
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:28,000
That helps recruit all the muscles
across his huge shoulders and back.
224
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:29,800
He might be in beast mode
225
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:32,200
but he just needs to settle
down a little bit.
226
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:36,960
Not just about power, not just
about determination, skill as well.
227
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:39,600
Clear thinking under pressure.
228
00:11:39,680 --> 00:11:42,040
Nearly missed a peg there
but he rectified the situation
229
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:47,520
and he's got to swing up to get
himself over to the second board.
230
00:11:47,560 --> 00:11:49,080
This obstacle is cruel, isn't it?
231
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:50,280
Oh.
232
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:54,320
It just burns your stamina when there
are so many obstacles still to come.
233
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:56,160
He wants this so badly.
234
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:59,240
He wants to be at the top
of the chimney so bad.
235
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:02,240
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
236
00:12:03,560 --> 00:12:07,040
Next up, a brand new obstacle.
237
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:11,040
This is called battering ram
to pipe climber.
238
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:13,280
He is looking tired.
239
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:15,920
He's got to shimmy his way
along the pipe
240
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:19,240
and then leap
to the second battering ram
241
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:21,560
before swinging across
to the pipe climber.
242
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:24,400
His arms and upper body
must be screaming.
243
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:26,040
Oh, he's doing well.
244
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:27,600
Now it's up to the second one.
245
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:28,880
Oh.
246
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:30,320
No!
247
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:31,680
That's a shock.
248
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:33,280
That's a massive, massive shock.
249
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:35,000
Scott Evennett's fallen.
250
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:37,880
Wow, this course is hard tonight.
251
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:44,520
The commando's problem started
back on the swinging pegboard.
252
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:46,320
He took a long time
getting across there,
253
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:49,440
burning up his arms and
when he came to the battering ram,
254
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:53,280
it's the same muscles again
and he was all out of ammo.
255
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:56,240
Scott, you started well.
256
00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:59,560
Can you tell us how much harder this
course is tonight than the heats?
257
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:01,080
It doesn't even compare.
258
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:02,800
It's incredibly hard.
259
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:04,840
Give everyone a round of applause
who gets on this course.
260
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:05,920
It's bloody hard.
261
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:07,560
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
262
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:08,840
You've still got a chance
at the final
263
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:10,720
depending how the rest
of the ninjas go tonight.
264
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:13,080
How much have you enjoyed it
on Ninja warrior?
265
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:15,040
Oh, mate, I love it.
I'll come back every year if I can.
266
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:16,440
We want you back.
267
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:18,320
Ladies and gentlemen,
Scott Evennett. Mate, top man.
268
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:22,240
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
269
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:27,360
Coming up, aerial ninja
Celeste Dixon is a highflyer.
270
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:29,760
So unbelievably excited
that I made it up the wall.
271
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:32,560
Can she soar to the top
of the tower?
272
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:34,760
That would be the icing on the cake.
273
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:39,280
BMX ninja Daniel Walker
was a crowd favourite in the heats.
274
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:46,360
Now can this doting dad make it
all the way to the grand final?
275
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:47,960
Did it for these two in my heat.
276
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:49,880
Now I'm going to do it
again in the semifinals.
277
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:53,600
The Irving brothers Nathanial
and Jayden are back.
278
00:13:53,680 --> 00:13:56,280
So twice now, I've proved
that I am the better brother.
279
00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:59,600
But which brother will come
out on top tonight?
280
00:13:59,680 --> 00:14:01,360
I have to beat you.
I can't lose.
281
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:02,640
You're not really any competition.
282
00:14:02,680 --> 00:14:03,680
I could beat you.
283
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:05,000
It's not a rivalry.
I will beat you.
284
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:06,320
No, you won't.
I will.
285
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:10,160
And adventurer Steve Choate has run
marathons in the Antarctic.
286
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:12,400
He trains camels to cross the desert.
287
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:15,400
Next up, he faces
his biggest challenge yet.
288
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:16,920
You go for it.
289
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:31,080
Welcome back to Australian
Ninja Warrior
290
00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:33,760
and our third semifinal
for the season.
291
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:38,280
The course is harder and longer
292
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:43,280
and just the eight furthest, fastest
ninjas progress to the grand final.
293
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:47,400
Next up a mum of three
who's packed up the family
294
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:48,720
to drive around Australia.
295
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:53,000
She crashed out on the big wheels
in the heats, qualifying 15th
296
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:54,640
but she is looking to go further.
297
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:57,080
She is Kirby Gibbons.
298
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:02,760
We are always saying
"One day we should do this,
299
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:04,080
"one day we should do that."
300
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:07,520
So I went, "Righto, we're doing it."
301
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:09,920
Everything was sold
and now we're travelling Australia.
302
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:11,400
It's been amazing.
303
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:13,280
Australia is awesome.
304
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:19,960
I want to prove tonight that,
not only can women do it but mums.
305
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:22,920
It's hard to have an identity
after having kids
306
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:24,280
so it's nice to be able to go,
307
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:29,760
this is something for me and this is
who I am and this is what I can do.
308
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:33,360
For the semis tonight,
I've got one destination in mind.
309
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:35,360
I'm getting over the wall
and beyond.
310
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:39,440
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
311
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:48,840
Kirby Gibbons, the road trip ninja.
312
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:52,000
The whole family is here.
313
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:53,600
Axel, Danny and Bonnie.
314
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:56,840
Husband Jacob and dad Donald
who inspired their big trip
315
00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:58,120
in the first place.
316
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:02,400
CHANTING: Kirby! Kirby! Kirby!
317
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:05,120
Okay, quad steps.
318
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:07,000
Big first jump.
319
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:09,640
Remember, Kirby's background
is in gymnastics.
320
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:11,240
The same as four of the women
321
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:13,120
who made it up the warped wall
in the heats.
322
00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:15,960
She's got the background alright.
323
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:17,920
Now onto the frame slider.
324
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:19,080
She's nice and light.
325
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:21,720
Only 52kg which is going to help
a lot -
326
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:25,200
Less to hold up
through those nasty jolts.
327
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:27,440
Sorry, Kirby,
there's nothing to hold onto there.
328
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:29,920
Outward pressure from hands and feet.
329
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:32,200
She's trying to work that out.
330
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:35,000
Okay. The right knee is bent right
up underneath the...
331
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:36,320
First jolt.
332
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:38,080
Oh, no.
333
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:40,400
Big splash.
334
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:43,040
Oh, no. Whoo.
335
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:45,080
Just have a look at the replay.
336
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:47,520
You'll see the right knee
337
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:50,760
tucked right up underneath her,
below her foot.
338
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:55,080
When she hits the first jolt,
her leg collapses, she loses balance
339
00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:59,880
and her Ninja Warrior road trip
ends with an impressive splash.
340
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:03,360
In the water, mum!
341
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:05,840
That's all you'll remember,
isn't it?
342
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:08,120
Bad luck, Kirby Gibbons.
343
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:13,000
But tonight's semifinal course is
already proving to be a big step up.
344
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:17,720
Our next ninja is an adventurer
who has run a marathon in Antarctica.
345
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:22,040
He's training camels for a desert
crossing but he's lucky to be here
346
00:17:22,120 --> 00:17:27,640
after finishing 20th in his heat, he
only just snuck in to the semifinals.
347
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:29,920
Give it up for Steve Choate.
348
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:32,560
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
349
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:35,680
There he is.
350
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:37,520
Go, Steve.
351
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:40,240
You can do it.
352
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:44,320
So I was a bit nervous
going in to the heat.
353
00:17:44,360 --> 00:17:47,000
Bridge of blades now. Smashed it.
354
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:50,040
I remember getting past
the second obstacle
355
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:52,280
and it all happened really quickly.
356
00:17:52,360 --> 00:17:54,640
All of a sudden, I was in mid-air
and that was it.
357
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:56,280
Steve!
358
00:17:56,360 --> 00:18:00,440
This slightest mishap causes the
biggest catastrophe for Steve Choate.
359
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:02,240
So I scraped in number 20
360
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:05,320
and it's definitely not how
I wanted to go through
361
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:08,400
but it's a lifeline and I get
to give it a good crack tonight.
362
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:13,480
So the similarities between training
camels and being a ninja,
363
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:16,480
you just have to pay complete
attention to what you're doing.
364
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:19,120
I'm pretty happy with my endurance.
365
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:22,240
If I'm using my endurance,
it means I'm progressing.
366
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:23,920
So it's a good thing.
367
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:28,400
The goal for me tonight is to see
how far I can go
368
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:29,440
and one thing I will do
369
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:32,120
is definitely leave it all out there
on the course.
370
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:33,960
I definitely have to step it up.
371
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:35,920
I scraped into the semis
by this much
372
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:37,960
but tonight,
I'm going to prove myself.
373
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:42,200
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
374
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:43,880
Our firefighter and camel trainer
375
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:45,360
Steve Choate underperformed
in the heat.
376
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:48,040
We expected big things.
He only got to obstacle four.
377
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:49,920
He qualified 20th.
378
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:51,120
Scraped in.
379
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:53,400
I think he's going to go further
this time.
380
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:54,840
There Steve's mum and dad,
381
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:57,320
Lynn and Clive
along with the rest of the family.
382
00:18:57,360 --> 00:18:59,720
Everyone hoping for big things.
383
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:06,960
Here he is, Steve Choate,
off to an absolute flying start.
384
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:09,040
All steps done and dusted.
385
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:12,480
Slow down, Steve. Slow down.
386
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:15,800
Needs to treat this one
with respect.
387
00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:17,520
It's already taken out two tonight.
388
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:19,120
Do not make it three, Steve.
389
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:21,000
He's up, strong position.
390
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:22,960
One jolt, two jolts.
391
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:25,280
That is how it's done.
392
00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:27,240
Flies of the end of it.
393
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:29,040
He's got a swagger about him,
Steve Choate.
394
00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:30,840
Hasn't he?
395
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:34,000
I reckon, this lad,
he's a definite final contender.
396
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:35,760
Has to get through this though.
397
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:38,400
The broken pipe has been
so difficult.
398
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:40,160
Here he goes.
399
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:41,480
Oh!
400
00:19:43,120 --> 00:19:44,400
Look at that recovery.
401
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:49,040
One step, two. Oh, Steve was never
going to let me down.
402
00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:51,720
Now he turns the corner.
403
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:53,840
Looks ahead to the warped wall
404
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:58,320
but standing in front of him
is the swinging peg board.
405
00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:01,200
Now this obstacle,
406
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:03,680
the number obstacle
is going to mean a lot to him.
407
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:05,560
He's never seen
this particular obstacle
408
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:07,880
but in the heats,
he came off the ball swing to cargo
409
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:11,760
in exactly the same spot
as where he is right now.
410
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:13,920
Take your time. Get the pegs.
411
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:17,320
This is a real test of endurance
and strength.
412
00:20:17,360 --> 00:20:18,360
Get the pegs in.
413
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:20,200
And accuracy as well
414
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:24,600
because you've got
to really nail the removal
415
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:27,400
and insertion of these pegs.
416
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:30,120
Swing!
417
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:33,040
The longer he spends up there
on them pegs,
418
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:35,080
the harder it's going to be.
419
00:20:35,120 --> 00:20:37,840
This course, it's just accumulative.
420
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:40,120
It just gets tougher
all the way through.
421
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:42,800
Yes!
422
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:46,680
Two hands on that first peg.
423
00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:48,960
Will he go for the second
or straight for the third?
424
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:51,720
He's got long arms.
Oh, he's gone for the second.
425
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:53,920
Now he's onto the third.
426
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:57,600
Here he goes. Nice swing.
427
00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:00,320
Swing, snake hips here.
428
00:21:00,360 --> 00:21:01,720
Look at that. There we go.
429
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:03,800
Here we go.
430
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:04,960
He's through.
431
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:07,000
You can see he's burned his arms.
432
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:08,960
The same thing happened
to Scott Evennett.
433
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:12,000
He knows it's top eight
furthest fastest
434
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:16,240
so he wants to be quick
but he needs a breather.
435
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:18,120
It's a real gamble, isn't it?
436
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:22,560
Do you go with the speed
or do you go with some patience?
437
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:25,960
He's taken a bit of time here.
Probably 30 seconds.
438
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:27,240
Oh!
439
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:28,720
But it was not enough.
440
00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:30,640
Steve Choate.
441
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:33,760
Got through in the back door,
in the heats, 20th.
442
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:35,280
I didn't see him coming off there.
443
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:37,840
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
444
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:42,400
Steve made a confident start
but you can see,
445
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:44,840
by the time he's halfway
through the peg boards,
446
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:48,040
his arms are straightening
as he starts to tire.
447
00:21:48,120 --> 00:21:51,480
On the next obstacle, he got his
hands around the battering ram
448
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:53,920
but just didn't have the strength
to hold on.
449
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:55,440
A bit of bad luck, Freddie.
450
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:56,840
Steve, come here, mate.
451
00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:59,040
You got further than
you did in the heats.
452
00:21:59,120 --> 00:22:01,800
Has this Ninja Warrior course
all the way through surprised you
453
00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:03,600
how hard it actually is?
454
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:06,120
Yeah, look, I think it's different
455
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:08,360
once you start stringing together
these obstacles.
456
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:10,520
It takes it out of you a little bit
457
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:13,200
and a moment of inattention
is all it takes, Freddie.
458
00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:15,920
Top man. Ladies and gentlemen,
Steve. Well done, mate.
459
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:17,320
What a bummer.
460
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:20,800
We are yet to see anyone get past
the battering ram tonight
461
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:23,400
but there are plenty of big names
to come.
462
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:27,560
Nothing gets in the way
of the Enforcer Geoffrey Merc.
463
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:29,440
Go!
464
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:34,040
But can this riot squad cop overcome
tonight's semifinal course?
465
00:22:34,120 --> 00:22:37,080
Semifinals,
I'm coming at you, all force.
466
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:39,560
For the bogan ninja,
Zayne Wealthall,
467
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:42,160
season two has been
a long time coming.
468
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:44,640
I put a whole year's work
into this from last season.
469
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:49,160
Now he's ready to show big things
come in small packages.
470
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:51,920
Tonight, this little guy has got
something huge to prove.
471
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:53,120
I'm going to that grand final.
472
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:57,320
Warming up now is the onesie ninja
Laura Edwards.
473
00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:01,840
The semis for me is about showing
everybody everything that I've got.
474
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:04,960
Tonight, I'm going all the way
to hit that red buzzer.
475
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:16,120
Welcome back to Ninja Island.
476
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:19,600
And the third
of our four semifinals.
477
00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:21,560
Tonight,
the course is playing tough.
478
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:23,960
No one has made it
past obstacle five -
479
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:26,560
the battering ram to pipe climber.
480
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:29,240
Our next ninja has already achieved
481
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:31,280
her goal of making the semifinals
482
00:23:31,360 --> 00:23:33,680
but tonight,
she has more in her sights.
483
00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:37,920
After finishing 16th in her heat,
she is aiming for the grand final.
484
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:41,480
She is onesie ninja Laura Edwards.
485
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:44,240
So my onesie outfit started back
486
00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:47,920
when I accidentally turned up for
work with a onesie in my bag
487
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:50,280
and everyone called me coach onesie.
488
00:23:50,360 --> 00:23:53,880
So I got one made and that way,
no one could miss my name.
489
00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:56,440
Here we go, Laura Edwards.
490
00:23:56,520 --> 00:24:00,680
So, in the heats, my heart
was pounding out of my chest.
491
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:02,560
The first lache was great.
492
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:03,640
Yes.
493
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:05,680
The second lache I've never done
anything like that before.
494
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:07,400
This is a huge lache.
495
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:09,920
To the second. Oh, she's done it.
No, she hasn't.
496
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:11,440
Yes... No!
497
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:13,720
I came off and hit the water.
Just before the warped wall.
498
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:14,920
So brutal.
499
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:16,640
So close to the end.
500
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:22,360
So the semis for me is about showing
everybody everything that I've got.
501
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:23,800
Everything that I'm capable of.
502
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:26,800
To get through to the grand final
would feel,
503
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:28,520
feel like I really made it.
504
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:33,680
Tonight, I'm going all the way
to hit that red buzzer.
505
00:24:35,120 --> 00:24:36,760
I can do this.
506
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:40,760
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
507
00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:50,920
And there is a lot of support
here for the onesie ninja.
508
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:55,240
Sister Angela on the left there
and dad Jim on the end.
509
00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:57,320
I like this girl. She is tenacious.
510
00:24:57,360 --> 00:24:59,120
She really wants this.
511
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:02,600
Can we get another girl into the
final of Australian Ninja Warrior?
512
00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:04,000
Come on, Laura.
513
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:05,280
I reckon we can, Freddie.
514
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:06,720
Olivia Vivian is already through.
515
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:07,840
Why not Laura?
516
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:11,320
And she's away.
517
00:25:11,360 --> 00:25:12,800
She's off to a confident start,
518
00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:15,520
Laura Edwards,
the 28-year-old looking good.
519
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:18,920
This is her third appearance
on Ninja Island, Ben,
520
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:22,160
but she's never made it
as far as the warped wall.
521
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:25,400
Chances are, she'll need to get past
it tonight to make the grand final.
522
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:29,200
The frame slider,
taking her time to get her hands
523
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:33,760
and feet in good position and as soon
as she lifts her foot, she'll be off.
524
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:35,800
Has she got enough grip there?
525
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:38,280
She's very lucky to have
hung on there.
526
00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:39,440
Yeah!
527
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:43,760
As long as you hang on, you're okay.
528
00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:46,920
Now, the broken pipes.
529
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:49,440
Light footwork required
here by the onesie ninja.
530
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:50,800
She's light.
531
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:52,720
Only 60KG.
532
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:56,000
Hopefully, that is to her advantage.
533
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:59,040
It seems to be. She's halfway
through. She is on the mushroom.
534
00:25:59,120 --> 00:26:00,560
She just needs to continue on...
Yes!
535
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:01,600
..and she's done it.
536
00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:03,400
She circles those arms.
537
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:05,320
She pumps those arms in the air
538
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:07,760
to get herself through
the next part of this course.
539
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:10,160
Team onesie on the sidelines
cheering her on.
540
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:11,360
So too are the crowd.
541
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:12,920
Look at them in the background.
542
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:14,480
There's banners, there's T-shirts.
543
00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:15,840
They're chanting. They're clapping.
544
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:19,000
CHANTING: Let's go, onesie.
Let's go. Let's go, onesie. Let's go.
545
00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:21,640
This is an obstacle
that's done a lot of damage.
546
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:22,960
The peg board.
547
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:24,040
She swings up there.
548
00:26:24,120 --> 00:26:26,000
This is a test of upper-body
strength.
549
00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:28,840
She starts moving these pegs.
550
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:31,680
Oh, she's having trouble
getting that first peg in.
551
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:33,320
Oh, she's got the death wobbles.
552
00:26:33,360 --> 00:26:34,920
They are quite deep holes too.
553
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:36,600
It's not like you need to place it.
554
00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:39,600
They've got to carry
all your bodyweight
555
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:41,280
so they are quite deep in there.
556
00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:42,680
You really need to ram it in.
557
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:45,480
Arms are straight.
558
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:49,040
That's not textbook
but she looks strong.
559
00:26:49,120 --> 00:26:53,320
Will she have enough swing
to make the move?
560
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:55,560
Oh!
Oh. She's in.
561
00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:57,040
Goes for the last peg.
562
00:26:57,080 --> 00:26:59,400
That takes guts.
563
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:02,080
Oh, the dismount.
Thought she was going to do it then.
564
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:03,920
She's got some swing.
She's got some swing.
565
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:05,000
She's going to do it.
566
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:06,040
Come on. Get off there, Laura.
567
00:27:06,120 --> 00:27:08,080
Is she going to do it?
She's doing it!
568
00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:10,280
Don't worry about that.
She's doing it.
569
00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:11,960
Great reaction.
570
00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:16,240
Now no one has made it
past the battering rams tonight.
571
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:20,400
Laura is taking a moment to recover.
Smart move.
572
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:23,160
Coach onesie,
and the crowd really want
573
00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:28,440
to see Laura Edwards give it
her very best shot.
574
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:31,200
Come on, Laura.
575
00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:32,760
Show us how it's done.
576
00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:34,280
And she's on!
577
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:36,360
Go!
578
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:39,480
She's moving fast
across that first pipe.
579
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:40,800
Really fast.
580
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:42,080
She scrambling.
581
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:44,080
She doesn't want to be
up there for long.
582
00:27:44,120 --> 00:27:45,120
Yes!
583
00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:47,120
That's a big move for her.
584
00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:48,480
She knows it.
585
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:51,960
And now, if you can push
that battering ram along,
586
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:54,000
she'll get a shot at the warped wall.
587
00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:55,320
Legs up, legs up, legs up.
588
00:27:55,360 --> 00:27:58,720
And Ninja Island comes alive.
589
00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:01,400
Oh, it is well and truly alive, Ben.
590
00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:03,600
She's the first to beat
this obstacle
591
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:06,200
if she can climb down that pipe.
592
00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:08,200
Come on.
593
00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:10,880
No problems using the legs
and she's there.
594
00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:11,960
Well done.
595
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:15,680
What a moment for Laura Edwards.
596
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:20,200
What a moment for all of us here
on Ninja Island
597
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:22,520
and all around Australia.
598
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:26,480
So far, six women have made it
up the wall this season.
599
00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:28,480
Can Laura make it seven?
600
00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:31,040
Can she go all the way
to the grand final?
601
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:34,960
165cm.
602
00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:39,840
One of the shorter competitors
on Ninja Island this year.
603
00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:43,160
This is her moment.
This is it for coach onesie.
604
00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:46,720
This is what all the training has
been for. She goes to the top.
605
00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:48,480
Yes!
606
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:51,120
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
607
00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:55,000
That is phenomenal.
608
00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:57,720
Wow.
609
00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:00,480
Oh, that has just
given me goosebumps.
610
00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:06,000
Everybody here on Ninja Island
is up out of their chairs.
611
00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:07,880
And she is looking strong, Bec.
612
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:09,520
Three obstacles to go.
613
00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:10,720
Come on, Laura.
614
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:15,080
Salmon ladder now.
615
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:18,040
Got to muscle
her bodyweight up three rungs.
616
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:20,880
This is just torture
but look at her eyes.
617
00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:22,680
She wants this, Ben.
618
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:25,760
She's on that bar.
619
00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:26,920
Oh.
620
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:30,200
Oh. This is such a big ask here
for Laura Edwards.
621
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:34,080
It's a huge ask but
she has the will and determination.
622
00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:35,320
Yes!
623
00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:36,360
One.
624
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:38,600
ALL: Oh!
625
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:41,080
Oh, that was a spectacular fall.
626
00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:45,600
She made it up the warped wall and
she made it to the salmon ladder.
627
00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:50,120
What a great moment here
on Australia Ninja Warrior.
628
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:54,800
The onesie ninja Laura Edwards
629
00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:57,480
was the first to make it across
the battering ram tonight.
630
00:29:57,560 --> 00:30:01,040
She smashed the warped wall
on her first ever attempt.
631
00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:04,040
She made the first rung
on the salmon ladder
632
00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:06,640
but was fatigued
and just rushed the second,
633
00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:10,400
missing her mark
but hold your head high, Laura.
634
00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:11,960
Laura, there's a towel.
635
00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:15,920
How thrilled were you getting
to the top of that warped wall?
636
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:17,600
Oh, my goodness.
637
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:20,280
Finally had the opportunity and
I knew that I could if I got there
638
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:23,600
with the adrenaline pumping
and this amazing crowd behind me.
639
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:25,720
It just felt so good!
640
00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:28,360
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
641
00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:32,000
Tell us what it means to get
this far in the competition.
642
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:33,760
I can't even begin to explain.
643
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:35,520
Look at that smile on your face.
644
00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:36,720
It's amazing.
645
00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:39,000
I am so happy right now.
646
00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:40,440
I am so proud of myself.
647
00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:42,000
I really wanted that red buzzer
648
00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:44,600
but maybe if I'm lucky,
I have one more chance.
649
00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:45,880
Well, you say that.
650
00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:47,360
We're going to see now
how the rest do.
651
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:50,280
It is fastest furthest
so I think we should have
652
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:54,040
a look at the leaderboard and see
where Laura Edwards stands on it.
653
00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:56,120
Well, there she is.
654
00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:59,840
The onesie ninja Laura Edwards
at number one.
655
00:30:59,920 --> 00:31:03,480
She's followed by former commando
Scott Evennett in two.
656
00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:05,720
Adventurer Steve Choate third.
657
00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:10,680
Kirby Gibbons fourth
and bachelor Tim Robards in fifth.
658
00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:14,920
Laura Edwards, our furthest
and fastest female tonight
659
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:18,240
and, at the moment,
she has a spot in the grand final.
660
00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:19,960
Can she hang on to that spot?
661
00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:23,840
We'll find out right after this
on Australian, Ninja Warrior.
662
00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:28,840
Coming up, Ryan Brooke
is not your average ninja.
663
00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:32,200
As a child, my nickname was monkey
because I liked bananas so much.
664
00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:35,320
Neither is his approach
to making the grand final.
665
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:39,320
I want to show that you don't have
to take yourself too seriously
666
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:40,720
and as long as I don't slip up
tonight,
667
00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:41,800
you will see me in the final.
668
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:44,840
The barefoot ninja Daniel Mason
is back.
669
00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:46,960
Just missing out last year
has really given me
670
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:48,160
that hunger to get there.
671
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:51,040
Can he hotfoot his way to the top
of the tower?
672
00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:53,200
I may have taken my time in the
semifinals last year but tonight,
673
00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:56,520
I'm going to fly through that course
and make my way to the grand final.
674
00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:58,960
Warming up now is the bogan ninja.
675
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:00,520
Zayne Wealthall
676
00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:01,800
and he's hoping he can improve
677
00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:04,360
on last season's
semifinal performance.
678
00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:06,800
I'm here to really show,
not just Australia,
679
00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:09,280
but this course what I'm made of.
680
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:16,920
The competitors
on Australian Ninja Warrior
681
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:20,000
all want to make it
through the course in record time.
682
00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:22,440
But it's the ninja who goes furthest
683
00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:27,000
and fastest that will be given the
title of performance of the night.
684
00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:28,640
Thanks to Berocca.
685
00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:36,920
Welcome back to Australian Ninja
Warrior semifinal three.
686
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:41,080
On course now is a bloke
who finished third in his heat.
687
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:42,840
His name is Ryan Brooke.
688
00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:46,120
He calls himself Baninja.
689
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:49,720
There is his partner Molly
cheering him on tonight.
690
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:53,400
As he faces the warped wall,
here goes.
691
00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:56,720
And up he goes.
692
00:32:56,800 --> 00:32:59,360
Ryan Brooke up the warped wall
on the first attempt.
693
00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:01,240
He is only the second competitor
694
00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:04,720
after Laura Edwards to make it
this far tonight.
695
00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:07,360
So Ryan Brooke,
696
00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:08,760
he may not have had
the kind of prominence
697
00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:11,880
that other ninjas have had,
but at the moment,
698
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:15,880
he is staring down the barrel of
our final three obstacles, Freddie.
699
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:18,520
We just want him to get to the top
of the chimney.
700
00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:19,800
Oh, thank you.
701
00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:21,160
Throws his towel at me.
702
00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:22,560
There's no need to rush.
703
00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:23,680
You can take your time.
704
00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:25,800
Just get to the top of this chimney.
705
00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:27,160
Please, Baninja.
706
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:28,560
Give me, give the crowd,
707
00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:31,240
give the viewers at home
something to shout about.
708
00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:33,440
As he comes onto the salmon ladder.
709
00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:36,240
He's got to go up three rungs.
710
00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:37,320
Oh!
711
00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:39,000
One side is up and one side is down.
712
00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:42,120
It's alright though, he's still
here. Yes, come on, Baninja.
713
00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:44,560
On to the last one.
714
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:50,160
That's okay. He only needs to get
part of the bar onto the third rung.
715
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:51,960
Here he comes
onto the floating monkey bars.
716
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:53,280
He'll take them with him.
717
00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:54,560
Nice and easy.
718
00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:56,160
Safety first.
719
00:33:57,640 --> 00:33:59,080
Yes, Baninja.
720
00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:04,280
Now he needs to dismount
to the penultimate obstacle.
721
00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:06,320
Oh, yes. Come on.
722
00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:08,280
I'm getting excited.
723
00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:10,920
Okay, he's made it to the second
last obstacle.
724
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:16,640
Ryan Brooke, are you the man
to go all the way tonight?
725
00:34:16,720 --> 00:34:19,720
This is as far as anyone
has made it tonight
726
00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:21,720
and the first time we are seeing
this new obstacle,
727
00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:24,720
the hourglass to tramp to bungee.
728
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:26,360
CROWD: Baninja! Baninja! Baninja!
729
00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:28,760
Now the thing about here,
the drop is a big one
730
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:30,960
and that tramp has got a lot of give
731
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:35,280
so he's got to time it just right
to make the bounce to that bar.
732
00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:38,440
It's all about this drop,
it's all about this jump.
733
00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:40,600
Oh, no!
734
00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:42,560
One hand.
735
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:43,760
Almost.
736
00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:49,360
I thought he was going to be
the man to go all the way.
737
00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:51,120
Just a few metres short.
738
00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:53,080
So close.
739
00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:55,200
The Baninja peeled off the moves
740
00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:57,880
across the salmon ladder
to floating monkey
741
00:34:57,920 --> 00:34:59,160
but with the end in sight,
742
00:34:59,240 --> 00:35:01,760
he bounced just too far forward
on the tramp
743
00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:04,560
causing a desperate
one-arm grab on the bar.
744
00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:06,640
What a great run.
745
00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:09,720
That was an unbelievable effort.
746
00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:12,400
I've got to say, so close.
747
00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:14,920
I had it in me but just the jump.
748
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:16,280
It threw me off.
749
00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:17,320
I got one arm on it.
750
00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:19,720
Tried to hang
but it just wouldn't...
751
00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:22,280
The grip strength at that point,
it was getting a bit tired.
752
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:23,640
I'm still stoked.
753
00:35:23,720 --> 00:35:26,920
Ladies and gentlemen, he didn't make
it to the top of the chimney
754
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:28,800
but big round of applause
for Banana ninja.
755
00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:30,520
Well done, mate.
756
00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:32,960
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
757
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:42,760
Well, Ryan Brooke is the furthest
fastest of the night so far.
758
00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:46,680
Our next ninja is also
known for his speed.
759
00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:50,320
He dazzled us in season one
with his light footwork.
760
00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:53,320
This year, he qualified 11th
in his heat
761
00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:55,600
after falling victim
to the basket toss.
762
00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:57,440
He is Zayne Wealthall.
763
00:35:57,480 --> 00:35:58,800
The bogan ninja.
764
00:35:59,720 --> 00:36:02,360
Last year, I come into the semis,
I was confident.
765
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:05,080
He looks incredibly focused, Ben.
766
00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:07,240
I think I thought too far
ahead of myself.
767
00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:08,520
And I lost it.
768
00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:11,800
Oh, what?!
769
00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:14,000
Sorry, it's pretty devo.
770
00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:17,320
I went too slow so obviously
I was absolutely devastated.
771
00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:19,600
It felt like the whole year's work
was just wasted.
772
00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:21,000
Shattered.
773
00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:23,400
But at the end of the day,
what can I do?
774
00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:25,760
Come back next year bigger
and stronger.
775
00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:29,240
I've trained so hard for this.
776
00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:31,720
I put a whole year's work
into this from last season.
777
00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:33,080
I'm hungry.
778
00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:34,560
I want this so bad.
779
00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:36,320
I'm here to really show,
780
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:39,320
not just Australia, but this course
what I'm made of.
781
00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:42,440
Tonight, this little guy
has got something huge to prove.
782
00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:43,560
I'm going to that grand final.
783
00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:48,800
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
784
00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:53,000
The bogan ninja is back.
785
00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:54,840
Zayne Wealthall.
786
00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:56,440
Will he be the first person
787
00:36:56,520 --> 00:36:59,800
tonight to make it up the chimney
and press that red button?
788
00:36:59,840 --> 00:37:01,280
We want someone.
789
00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:02,760
Come on, the bogan.
790
00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:05,760
Break the curse of the semifinal
course tonight.
791
00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:09,520
Now just for the record,
he calls himself the bogan ninja.
792
00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:10,880
That's not our idea.
793
00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:12,520
And such a small guy.
794
00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:14,600
Weighing in at 70 kilos.
795
00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:16,560
Standing five foot six.
796
00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:17,960
He is well suited to this.
797
00:37:18,040 --> 00:37:20,920
Looking good early on
on the quadruple steps.
798
00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:22,480
Comes up to the frame slider.
799
00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:25,760
There's nothing to him really,
is there?
800
00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:30,280
Apart from a whole heap of guts
and determination.
801
00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:37,240
Now we get to see him
on the frame slider.
802
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:39,960
He survives those two jolts.
803
00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:43,480
Now onto the broken pipes.
804
00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:47,720
Remember he came off on a very
similar obstacle last year.
805
00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:51,760
Reckons he went too slowly but here
he is again being very tentative.
806
00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:53,600
He is spooked by this one, Bec.
807
00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:55,160
Come on, Zayne.
808
00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:56,640
You've got to give it a crack, son.
809
00:37:57,920 --> 00:37:59,400
Hang on. What's this?
I've not seen this yet.
810
00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:01,280
What's he doing? Oh. No.
811
00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:03,280
That's all right.
Shimmy across, mate.
812
00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:07,880
Shimmy across. I like your style.
The bogan ninja. Like a rat.
813
00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:08,960
Are you allowed to do this?
814
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:11,000
Yeah, you can. You just hang onto it.
815
00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:15,080
As long as he doesn't put his hands
on the dark part there.
816
00:38:15,120 --> 00:38:17,280
He's got to stay on the mushies.
817
00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:19,480
What?
818
00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:20,680
He's okay.
819
00:38:20,720 --> 00:38:23,680
Oh, my goodness me.
820
00:38:23,720 --> 00:38:26,200
Zayne, Zayne.
821
00:38:26,240 --> 00:38:28,480
He is on the mushroom.
822
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:29,800
He's not going to do it
again, is he?
823
00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:31,440
He's going to run across this time,
isn't he?
824
00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:32,680
He's got to get off the mushroom.
825
00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:34,560
He's not.
He's going to go slow again.
826
00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:35,760
I can't believe what I'm seeing.
827
00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:37,040
No. It's alright.
828
00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:39,200
It's all about survival.
829
00:38:39,240 --> 00:38:40,840
Oh, he's doing it again.
830
00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:44,400
Look at the bogan.
831
00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:48,040
He's going to use his head again.
This is incredible scenes.
832
00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:50,680
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
833
00:38:50,720 --> 00:38:51,960
Hey, hey. Love the bogan.
834
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:55,120
I cannot believe my eyes.
835
00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:58,160
I cannot believe what I just
witnessed then, Ben.
836
00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:01,200
I've seen some things
on Ninja Warrior.
837
00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:03,920
I'm not seen anything like that
in my life before.
838
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:06,320
Well, it's spiced up the night,
that's for sure.
839
00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:09,120
And now for the swinging pegboard.
840
00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:13,840
He's on the rope and soon, he'll
be on the first swinging pegboard.
841
00:39:15,760 --> 00:39:19,360
Okay, he seems to be doing this
the traditional way.
842
00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:21,760
He is light
and that will help on this one.
843
00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:25,800
There's only 70kg of him.
844
00:39:25,880 --> 00:39:30,400
He's going up to the highest
and then coming back down again.
845
00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:31,560
He's not going in a straight line.
846
00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:32,720
Up and down, up and down.
847
00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:36,200
He likes the diagonal
and why doesn't that surprise us?
848
00:39:36,280 --> 00:39:39,400
Look how high he is able to keep
all of his knees and his core.
849
00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:41,000
Yeah, the arms.
850
00:39:41,080 --> 00:39:44,240
Bent at 90 degrees,
not fully outstretched.
851
00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:46,080
This is a hard stretch for him
852
00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:49,800
because he doesn't have the
wingspan of many of our other ninjas.
853
00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:51,720
But he does nicely.
854
00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:57,360
Zayn, great transfer. Oops.
855
00:39:57,440 --> 00:40:02,080
He dropped a peg. You can see
he is starting to get tired.
856
00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:05,440
Those arms are straightening
but this guy is a fighter.
857
00:40:05,480 --> 00:40:06,880
He's not going to give up.
858
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:09,120
Getting those legs swinging
for the dismount.
859
00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:11,120
Come on, Zayne. One more swing.
860
00:40:11,160 --> 00:40:12,640
Oh!
861
00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:15,800
Right on the end of the obstacle.
862
00:40:15,840 --> 00:40:17,880
He's just come up short.
863
00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:22,600
What an incredible effort
from the 21-year-old.
864
00:40:22,680 --> 00:40:25,600
Just look at the way he conquered
the broken pipes.
865
00:40:25,680 --> 00:40:28,440
No one's tried it before
but it worked for Zayne.
866
00:40:28,520 --> 00:40:30,720
He looked
to have nailed the pegboard too
867
00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:34,480
but just didn't have
the swing he needed at the dismount.
868
00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:36,760
He must be gutted, Freddie.
869
00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:41,160
I think I can see it
written all over your face
870
00:40:41,200 --> 00:40:42,800
how you feel about that, Zayne.
871
00:40:42,840 --> 00:40:44,440
Shattered.
872
00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:47,000
Can you talk us
through the broken pipes?
873
00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:48,480
Talk about using your head.
874
00:40:49,360 --> 00:40:51,360
Well, semifinals last year,
I got knocked out on it
875
00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:52,960
so I wasn't going today.
876
00:40:53,040 --> 00:40:56,520
I went with the slow approach
and they just turned me.
877
00:40:56,560 --> 00:40:57,920
I had to grab it.
878
00:40:58,000 --> 00:40:59,200
I tell you what,
I wasn't falling on it
879
00:40:59,240 --> 00:41:00,680
so I didn't care what was going on.
880
00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:02,160
I wasn't going to fall
on that tonight.
881
00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:04,440
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
882
00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:05,840
Yeah, bogan ninja.
883
00:41:05,920 --> 00:41:07,600
Top man. Ladies and gentlemen,
Zayne.
884
00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:09,040
Unlucky, mate. Gutted for you.
885
00:41:09,080 --> 00:41:10,800
Top man.
886
00:41:12,520 --> 00:41:14,920
He is one determined little fella,
887
00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:18,600
the bogan ninja but it
wasn't to be tonight, Bec.
888
00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:21,840
And still no ninjas have made it
to the final obstacle.
889
00:41:21,920 --> 00:41:25,800
We'll see if one can right after
this on Australian Ninja Warrior.
890
00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:28,000
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
891
00:41:28,080 --> 00:41:31,720
Aerial ninja Celeste Dixon
was one of six women
892
00:41:31,760 --> 00:41:33,800
who made it up the wall in the heats.
893
00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:35,960
Celeste Dixon!
894
00:41:36,040 --> 00:41:39,400
But will she be the one
to push the buzzer tonight?
895
00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:42,120
It was such an amazing feeling.
I want to smash it again.
896
00:41:42,200 --> 00:41:47,400
Up next, Ninja Warrior's biggest
rivals Jayden and Nathaniel Irving.
897
00:41:47,440 --> 00:41:49,200
The Irving bros are back.
898
00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:53,280
It's brother against brother against
this tough semifinal course.
899
00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:54,880
I'm on team Nathaniel.
900
00:41:54,920 --> 00:41:57,760
I'm supporting you all the way and,
901
00:41:57,840 --> 00:42:01,040
hey, it's up to you to see
if you can beat me.
902
00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:12,800
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
903
00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:15,600
Welcome back to Ninja Island
and our third semifinal.
904
00:42:15,640 --> 00:42:16,760
So far tonight,
905
00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:19,600
no one has completed this course.
906
00:42:19,640 --> 00:42:22,520
Can our next ninja change that?
907
00:42:22,600 --> 00:42:25,800
Now Ninja Warrior has thrown up
some great sibling rivalries
908
00:42:25,880 --> 00:42:28,240
but none better
than the Irving brothers.
909
00:42:28,320 --> 00:42:31,240
Stuntman Jayden got the better
of little brother Nathaniel
910
00:42:31,280 --> 00:42:32,560
in season one.
911
00:42:32,640 --> 00:42:35,520
Again this year in the heats,
both are competing tonight.
912
00:42:35,600 --> 00:42:39,040
So the red-hot rivalry remains alive
and kicking.
913
00:42:39,080 --> 00:42:41,160
It is Jayden Irving.
914
00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:44,600
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
915
00:42:51,600 --> 00:42:55,560
So first heat back for me
for this season and controversy.
916
00:42:55,600 --> 00:42:57,200
Oh.
917
00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:00,760
I think we'll have to have
a steward's enquiry on that.
918
00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:02,760
I think his foot touched the water.
919
00:43:02,840 --> 00:43:05,040
I was shattered
because this is my chance
920
00:43:05,120 --> 00:43:07,080
to prove that I was
better than my brother
921
00:43:07,120 --> 00:43:08,200
and having been kicked out
922
00:43:08,280 --> 00:43:10,520
so early in the comp
would have been gutwrenching.
923
00:43:10,600 --> 00:43:14,080
Luckily, video ref said my foot
in fact didn't hit the water
924
00:43:14,160 --> 00:43:15,520
and I was cleared
to compete in the semis
925
00:43:15,560 --> 00:43:17,560
so now I'm really amped to be here.
926
00:43:18,520 --> 00:43:21,520
I've got to prove
that I'm better than last year.
927
00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:23,840
Pressure is always there
to get the in the grand final
928
00:43:23,920 --> 00:43:26,680
but at the end of the day,
you've got to run your own race.
929
00:43:26,720 --> 00:43:27,800
Come on, Nathanial.
930
00:43:27,840 --> 00:43:29,640
Oh, no. His feet are wet.
931
00:43:29,680 --> 00:43:31,640
I'm amped to have Nathaniel here
932
00:43:31,720 --> 00:43:33,520
because we've been ninja bros
the whole time.
933
00:43:33,560 --> 00:43:35,160
The rivalry is definitely back.
934
00:43:35,240 --> 00:43:36,720
I don't know.
It's probably not back.
935
00:43:36,760 --> 00:43:38,280
I have to beat you. I can't lose.
936
00:43:38,360 --> 00:43:39,640
But you're not really
any competition.
937
00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:40,800
I could beat you.
938
00:43:40,880 --> 00:43:42,240
It's not a rivalry thing.
I will beat you.
939
00:43:42,320 --> 00:43:43,480
No, you won't.
I will.
940
00:43:43,520 --> 00:43:45,160
(MOUTHS)
941
00:43:46,560 --> 00:43:50,840
On the sideline, mum and dad,
Carol and Stewart.
942
00:43:50,920 --> 00:43:54,160
With younger brother Nathaniel
who will run later.
943
00:43:54,240 --> 00:43:56,800
Jayden Irving, this lad performed
so well in the heat,
944
00:43:56,840 --> 00:43:58,320
flew round the course
945
00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:01,200
but the big question is
can he break the curse
946
00:44:01,240 --> 00:44:03,160
of tonight's semifinal course?
947
00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:04,400
Oh, come on.
948
00:44:04,440 --> 00:44:06,280
Someone, please do it.
949
00:44:08,480 --> 00:44:13,640
Now he's off. Quadruple steps.
Very comfortable.
950
00:44:13,720 --> 00:44:19,880
Two-step style there on the quadruple
steps. Frame slider now.
951
00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:21,960
Go on, Jayden.
952
00:44:22,040 --> 00:44:24,720
Jayden Irving, I think this lad
is a real competitor.
953
00:44:24,800 --> 00:44:29,120
Oh, whoa. He's copped a bang
on the head on the second drop.
954
00:44:29,200 --> 00:44:31,800
He was not expecting that
but he's okay.
955
00:44:31,880 --> 00:44:36,080
Now, he's setting a quick pace
through the first three obstacles.
956
00:44:36,160 --> 00:44:38,120
That's if he can get
through the burn.
957
00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:41,600
Go, Jayden, over onto the mushroom,
doesn't stop.
958
00:44:41,640 --> 00:44:42,960
He's okay.
959
00:44:43,040 --> 00:44:44,280
Oh.
He's okay.
960
00:44:44,320 --> 00:44:46,360
That was close.
961
00:44:46,400 --> 00:44:47,760
Well done.
962
00:44:47,800 --> 00:44:49,360
Jayden Irving, you lucky, lucky boy.
963
00:44:49,440 --> 00:44:52,200
Attacked it, went quick.
Got away with it.
964
00:44:52,280 --> 00:44:54,200
Doesn't matter how you get through,
just get through.
965
00:44:54,240 --> 00:44:55,520
Come on, Jayden!
966
00:44:55,560 --> 00:44:56,600
No breath.
967
00:44:56,680 --> 00:44:59,000
He's obviously got confidence
and he's got enough energy
968
00:44:59,080 --> 00:45:02,280
to get up onto this obstacle -
the swinging pegboard.
969
00:45:02,360 --> 00:45:04,160
And the trick
that we are learning here
970
00:45:04,200 --> 00:45:06,120
is you need to be careful but fast.
971
00:45:06,200 --> 00:45:10,720
You can't afford to burn too much
energy hanging off those pegs.
972
00:45:10,800 --> 00:45:13,440
Well, if encouragement
counts for anything,
973
00:45:13,520 --> 00:45:16,720
he's getting plenty of fuel
from the sideline.
974
00:45:16,800 --> 00:45:19,560
He needs to transition
across to the second board.
975
00:45:20,560 --> 00:45:23,520
There you go. Pretty smooth.
976
00:45:23,600 --> 00:45:26,880
Backhand onto the end peg.
That's a great move.
977
00:45:26,960 --> 00:45:30,360
He did that with such grace
and poise, didn't he?
978
00:45:30,400 --> 00:45:32,640
He is looking extremely strong.
979
00:45:32,720 --> 00:45:34,800
I'm feeling he's looking
in better form tonight
980
00:45:34,840 --> 00:45:36,680
than he was in the heats.
981
00:45:36,760 --> 00:45:39,920
Okay, the battering ram
to pipe climber.
982
00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:44,320
Only Laura Edwards and the Baninja
have made it through this.
983
00:45:44,400 --> 00:45:47,200
He grabs the first battering ram,
pushes it along.
984
00:45:47,280 --> 00:45:50,080
Then there's a bit of a jump
to the next battering ram.
985
00:45:50,160 --> 00:45:52,880
How they do it,
I don't know but they do.
986
00:45:52,920 --> 00:45:54,400
There you go.
987
00:45:54,440 --> 00:45:56,400
Onto the second one.
988
00:45:56,480 --> 00:46:00,160
As of yet, not one ninja reaching
the top of the chimney.
989
00:46:00,200 --> 00:46:01,880
Is this the man to do it?
990
00:46:01,960 --> 00:46:04,080
I'll tell you what,
it could be, Freddie.
991
00:46:04,160 --> 00:46:06,840
Remember he's been to the grand
final before.
992
00:46:06,880 --> 00:46:09,320
Yes, he has.
993
00:46:09,360 --> 00:46:11,880
Oh, geez.
994
00:46:11,920 --> 00:46:13,360
Looking a bit tired. Here he goes.
995
00:46:13,400 --> 00:46:14,680
The warped wall.
996
00:46:14,720 --> 00:46:15,720
Come on.
997
00:46:15,760 --> 00:46:17,080
And he's up.
998
00:46:17,880 --> 00:46:19,680
He'll be happy with that,
999
00:46:19,720 --> 00:46:21,480
but he is feeling the pinch.
1000
00:46:21,520 --> 00:46:22,520
Now the salmon ladder.
1001
00:46:22,600 --> 00:46:25,160
Only Baninja Ryan Brooke
has passed this one.
1002
00:46:25,200 --> 00:46:27,360
Can Jayden go better?
1003
00:46:27,400 --> 00:46:28,760
I'm tired.
1004
00:46:28,800 --> 00:46:29,920
Jayden, don't say you're tired.
1005
00:46:30,000 --> 00:46:32,280
Get on with it. Come on,
get to the top of that chimney.
1006
00:46:32,320 --> 00:46:33,840
He's telling people he's tired.
1007
00:46:33,880 --> 00:46:35,000
Don't give in to it.
1008
00:46:35,040 --> 00:46:36,800
It's all in the mind, Jayden.
1009
00:46:38,320 --> 00:46:41,720
Jayden Irving meets
the salmon ladder.
1010
00:46:42,880 --> 00:46:48,200
It's vertical, it's mean,
it's brutal and it's agonising.
1011
00:46:49,680 --> 00:46:52,080
One, two. One more to come.
1012
00:46:52,120 --> 00:46:54,000
There it is.
1013
00:46:54,040 --> 00:46:55,520
Well done, Jayden.
1014
00:46:56,880 --> 00:47:02,200
Now he's got to use those bars
to work his way across the frames.
1015
00:47:02,240 --> 00:47:03,320
Good lad, Jayden.
1016
00:47:03,360 --> 00:47:04,640
Come on, Jayden.
1017
00:47:04,680 --> 00:47:06,560
Keep working, son. Dig deep.
1018
00:47:06,640 --> 00:47:09,200
He looks between the two.
Makes the next, almost.
1019
00:47:09,240 --> 00:47:11,760
His second chance. No.
1020
00:47:11,800 --> 00:47:13,280
Third time the charm? No.
1021
00:47:13,360 --> 00:47:15,280
Oh, please. Get in there.
Get in there.
1022
00:47:15,360 --> 00:47:17,160
Yes!
Yes!
1023
00:47:17,200 --> 00:47:18,200
Get in there.
1024
00:47:18,240 --> 00:47:19,400
Get off.
1025
00:47:19,440 --> 00:47:20,920
Yes.
1026
00:47:20,960 --> 00:47:22,360
Oh, Jayden.
1027
00:47:22,400 --> 00:47:24,720
You make my heart skip a beat.
1028
00:47:24,800 --> 00:47:29,000
Now, Jayden Irving just composing
himself, wiping his hands.
1029
00:47:29,080 --> 00:47:31,560
So close to the chimney,
he can taste it.
1030
00:47:31,640 --> 00:47:33,520
He can feel it.
He can nearly touch it.
1031
00:47:33,600 --> 00:47:37,320
He's got this one obstacle
in his way. Hourglass to bungee.
1032
00:47:38,720 --> 00:47:40,080
Excellent work.
1033
00:47:40,120 --> 00:47:41,800
Don't rush, Jayden.
1034
00:47:41,840 --> 00:47:42,840
Take your time.
1035
00:47:42,880 --> 00:47:44,480
Catch your breath. Catch your breath.
1036
00:47:44,520 --> 00:47:45,520
Get your breath.
1037
00:47:45,600 --> 00:47:49,840
Jayden Irving would be our first
competitor tonight
1038
00:47:49,880 --> 00:47:52,680
up the chimney to rope climb.
1039
00:47:52,760 --> 00:47:55,600
This is where the Baninja Ryan Brooke
came unstuck.
1040
00:47:55,640 --> 00:47:57,880
That tramp is super stretchy
1041
00:47:57,960 --> 00:48:01,160
and you need firm legs to get
enough height off the bounce
1042
00:48:01,240 --> 00:48:04,480
to grab that bar
or one of the bungees.
1043
00:48:04,520 --> 00:48:05,640
Not easy.
1044
00:48:05,720 --> 00:48:07,760
This is nerve wracking to watch.
Boing.
1045
00:48:07,800 --> 00:48:08,800
Oh, no!
1046
00:48:08,840 --> 00:48:09,920
Oh, no!
1047
00:48:12,360 --> 00:48:14,160
Another one crashes out.
1048
00:48:16,040 --> 00:48:19,520
Jayden Irving so near, yet so far.
1049
00:48:19,600 --> 00:48:22,600
This tramp is proving to be
a difficult one.
1050
00:48:22,680 --> 00:48:25,960
You can see he pulls himself up
just before release
1051
00:48:26,040 --> 00:48:28,480
and he doesn't get enough
forward momentum
1052
00:48:28,560 --> 00:48:32,840
which means he bounces straight up
and just can't reach that red bar.
1053
00:48:32,880 --> 00:48:34,520
But what a super run.
1054
00:48:34,600 --> 00:48:39,320
Jayden finishes just three seconds
behind the Baninja Ryan Brook.
1055
00:48:40,720 --> 00:48:43,720
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
1056
00:48:45,360 --> 00:48:48,040
The thing is, Bec,
Jayden Irving has just shown
1057
00:48:48,120 --> 00:48:51,160
that ninjas are getting closer
and closer
1058
00:48:51,200 --> 00:48:53,440
and closer to completing this course.
1059
00:48:53,520 --> 00:48:55,960
Plenty more action here
on the semifinals
1060
00:48:56,040 --> 00:48:59,120
of Australian Ninja Warrior
after this.
1061
00:48:59,160 --> 00:49:01,360
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
1062
00:49:02,120 --> 00:49:04,400
Former BMX champion Daniel Walker
1063
00:49:04,480 --> 00:49:07,400
has experienced plenty of bumps
in the road.
1064
00:49:07,480 --> 00:49:11,400
Had the opportunity to go as far
as I can and just threw them away.
1065
00:49:11,480 --> 00:49:16,040
Now he reckons he's got what it
takes to go all the way.
1066
00:49:16,080 --> 00:49:17,240
I will go further
1067
00:49:17,320 --> 00:49:20,200
and I'm going to smash that course
and hit the buzzer.
1068
00:49:20,240 --> 00:49:21,640
And warming up now,
1069
00:49:21,720 --> 00:49:26,400
aerial ninja Celeste Dixon ready to
take her shot at the course.
1070
00:49:26,480 --> 00:49:29,680
This year, I want to be one
of the girls in the grand final.
1071
00:49:29,720 --> 00:49:31,560
That would be the icing on the cake.
1072
00:49:41,680 --> 00:49:45,600
Welcome back to Australian Ninja
Warrior semifinal three.
1073
00:49:45,680 --> 00:49:48,880
While you were away,
the course continued to played havoc
1074
00:49:48,920 --> 00:49:51,280
with some of our strongest ninjas.
1075
00:49:51,360 --> 00:49:56,800
Nathaniel Irving wanted to beat older
brother Jayden and started well.
1076
00:49:56,840 --> 00:49:59,080
Coming down. Bang, bang.
1077
00:49:59,120 --> 00:50:00,960
Oh. Blooming 'eck.
1078
00:50:01,000 --> 00:50:03,400
Yes. Well done, Nathaniel.
1079
00:50:03,480 --> 00:50:05,720
But he couldn't match
his brother's efforts
1080
00:50:05,800 --> 00:50:08,680
on the battering ram
to pipe climber.
1081
00:50:08,720 --> 00:50:10,440
Oh!
1082
00:50:11,920 --> 00:50:14,000
Oh, my God.
1083
00:50:14,080 --> 00:50:18,680
Ninja Damo, Damien Lees conquered
the warped wall...
1084
00:50:20,360 --> 00:50:24,920
..but like so many others, just could
not crack that salmon ladder.
1085
00:50:24,960 --> 00:50:26,800
Come on, Damo, and again, son.
1086
00:50:26,840 --> 00:50:28,880
Oh, Damo.
1087
00:50:30,600 --> 00:50:33,320
And it was a forced landing
for Mr Bigg,
1088
00:50:33,360 --> 00:50:35,680
air force technician Alex Bigg.
1089
00:50:35,720 --> 00:50:36,760
Oh, no!
1090
00:50:36,800 --> 00:50:38,200
And he's in the water.
1091
00:50:38,240 --> 00:50:39,320
Just missed the bar.
1092
00:50:39,360 --> 00:50:41,200
He missed it by about an inch.
1093
00:50:41,240 --> 00:50:42,960
Big effort. Big effort.
1094
00:50:43,040 --> 00:50:46,240
Now remember, it's the eight
furthest fastest
1095
00:50:46,320 --> 00:50:49,120
that make it through to the grand
final so let's check the leaderboard.
1096
00:50:49,160 --> 00:50:51,600
The Baninja Ryan Brooke holds on
1097
00:50:51,680 --> 00:50:55,400
to the number one spot with
Jayden Irving jumping into second.
1098
00:50:55,480 --> 00:50:59,080
While onesie ninja Laura Edwards
holds on in fifth.
1099
00:50:59,160 --> 00:51:02,840
Adventurer Steve Choate is living
dangerously in the eighth spot
1100
00:51:02,920 --> 00:51:05,320
which puts bogan ninja
Zayne Wealthall
1101
00:51:05,400 --> 00:51:08,680
and road trip ninja,
Kirby Gibbons out of the running.
1102
00:51:09,760 --> 00:51:11,560
Our third semifinal
1103
00:51:11,640 --> 00:51:14,680
and I can't believe that we've had
no one complete the course tonight.
1104
00:51:14,760 --> 00:51:17,520
You're telling me. It's not as if
we don't have great ninjas.
1105
00:51:17,600 --> 00:51:20,920
We certainly do but let's just hope
that their fortunes change.
1106
00:51:24,560 --> 00:51:27,680
Our next ninja could just be
the one to make it happen.
1107
00:51:27,760 --> 00:51:32,440
She was one of six women to make it
up the warped wall in the heats.
1108
00:51:32,520 --> 00:51:36,280
A true testament
to ninja perseverance.
1109
00:51:36,360 --> 00:51:39,800
At the warped wall,
she twice failed to make it over
1110
00:51:39,880 --> 00:51:42,800
until her gutsy third effort
proved a charm.
1111
00:51:42,840 --> 00:51:45,360
Let's give it up for Celeste Dixon.
1112
00:51:45,400 --> 00:51:49,120
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
1113
00:51:57,120 --> 00:51:58,760
To know that I'm one of six girls
1114
00:51:58,840 --> 00:52:02,760
to make it up that wall is
just the most amazing feeling.
1115
00:52:02,840 --> 00:52:05,120
You get there, you know
you've got three attempts
1116
00:52:05,200 --> 00:52:08,840
and to fail the first two times
was just devastating.
1117
00:52:08,880 --> 00:52:10,520
Relax. Concentrate!
1118
00:52:10,600 --> 00:52:13,680
It's within your grasp
and then it just goes.
1119
00:52:13,760 --> 00:52:17,520
You've got one more shot
and then that's it. It's all over.
1120
00:52:17,600 --> 00:52:19,960
You don't make it,
you're not through.
1121
00:52:20,000 --> 00:52:21,680
Can she do this time?
1122
00:52:21,720 --> 00:52:25,120
Celeste Dixon makes it up.
1123
00:52:25,160 --> 00:52:26,920
I don't even remember how I got up.
1124
00:52:27,000 --> 00:52:28,920
I remember just seeing this red
shiny light
1125
00:52:29,000 --> 00:52:31,680
going "Hit me, hit me"
and I'm like, bash.
1126
00:52:32,880 --> 00:52:34,600
Then I kissed the top of the wall.
1127
00:52:34,640 --> 00:52:36,240
It was great.
1128
00:52:38,320 --> 00:52:39,800
So when you get to the semis,
1129
00:52:39,880 --> 00:52:43,600
the competition is so much harder,
so much more pressure.
1130
00:52:43,640 --> 00:52:45,240
Especially on yourself.
1131
00:52:45,320 --> 00:52:47,960
When you know what's in front
of you, your heart rate rises,
1132
00:52:48,000 --> 00:52:49,200
your hands sweat.
1133
00:52:49,240 --> 00:52:51,600
It's just, ugh, nerves everywhere.
1134
00:52:52,680 --> 00:52:55,160
To get up that wall twice
would be awesome
1135
00:52:55,240 --> 00:52:58,560
but to get all the way to the end,
that would be unbelievable.
1136
00:52:59,720 --> 00:53:02,760
This year, I want to be one
of the girls in the grand final.
1137
00:53:02,800 --> 00:53:04,520
That would be the icing on the cake.
1138
00:53:08,600 --> 00:53:12,080
Celeste cheer squad is always
something to behold.
1139
00:53:12,160 --> 00:53:15,280
Dad Steve seems to be
particularly vocal.
1140
00:53:15,360 --> 00:53:17,640
She'll be wanting every
bit of support tonight.
1141
00:53:17,680 --> 00:53:19,480
Off she goes.
1142
00:53:19,520 --> 00:53:20,960
Quad steps.
1143
00:53:21,000 --> 00:53:23,000
Celeste Dixon the aerial ninja.
1144
00:53:23,080 --> 00:53:25,160
She has got great
upper body strength
1145
00:53:25,200 --> 00:53:27,080
which will serve her well tonight.
1146
00:53:27,120 --> 00:53:28,360
That's right.
1147
00:53:28,400 --> 00:53:29,680
She's light, she's strong
1148
00:53:29,760 --> 00:53:32,880
and that should help through
the pegboard and the battering ram.
1149
00:53:32,920 --> 00:53:34,880
That is some distance away.
1150
00:53:34,920 --> 00:53:36,560
Focus. Focus.
1151
00:53:36,640 --> 00:53:39,040
On the sidelines again,
dad is very, very vocal.
1152
00:53:39,120 --> 00:53:42,040
Shouting encouragement,
shouting advice.
1153
00:53:42,120 --> 00:53:44,480
Shouting nonsense at times
but it all helps.
1154
00:53:44,520 --> 00:53:46,200
Take your time!
1155
00:53:46,240 --> 00:53:47,720
Take your time.
1156
00:53:47,760 --> 00:53:49,320
Take your time.
1157
00:53:49,360 --> 00:53:51,240
Wedges herself in.
1158
00:53:51,280 --> 00:53:53,160
Good strong position.
1159
00:53:53,200 --> 00:53:54,280
She looks comfortable.
1160
00:53:54,360 --> 00:53:56,800
Here she goes
on the second obstacle.
1161
00:53:56,840 --> 00:53:59,800
Falls flat on the mat.
1162
00:53:59,840 --> 00:54:03,360
Keep going! Keep going! Keep going!
1163
00:54:03,440 --> 00:54:06,560
Just in the middle!
Just in the middle!
1164
00:54:06,600 --> 00:54:09,360
This one is a nightmare.
1165
00:54:09,400 --> 00:54:10,880
The broken pipes.
1166
00:54:10,920 --> 00:54:12,080
Sizing it up.
1167
00:54:12,120 --> 00:54:13,240
Visualising those steps.
1168
00:54:13,320 --> 00:54:16,600
She needs to hit the pipes
dead centre every time..
1169
00:54:16,640 --> 00:54:18,440
Come on, Celeste.
1170
00:54:18,520 --> 00:54:21,520
The nerves would be excruciating
at the moment.
1171
00:54:21,560 --> 00:54:22,760
Here she goes, she is halfway. Safe.
1172
00:54:22,800 --> 00:54:24,280
Dives for the mushroom.
1173
00:54:24,360 --> 00:54:27,160
You've got to do this step down
from the mushroom
1174
00:54:27,240 --> 00:54:29,440
and the pipe moves
as soon as you hit it.
1175
00:54:29,480 --> 00:54:30,760
Come on, Celeste.
1176
00:54:30,800 --> 00:54:32,960
Come on, Celeste. Come on, Celeste.
1177
00:54:33,000 --> 00:54:34,760
So nerve wracking, Celeste.
1178
00:54:34,800 --> 00:54:36,360
Here she goes.
1179
00:54:36,400 --> 00:54:40,320
Yes. Oh, there you go.
1180
00:54:42,080 --> 00:54:44,880
You can see just how hard the ninjas
think that obstacle is.
1181
00:54:44,920 --> 00:54:46,200
The broken pipe.
1182
00:54:46,280 --> 00:54:48,040
Every one of them,
once they're through,
1183
00:54:48,120 --> 00:54:50,080
celebrating
like they've completed the course.
1184
00:54:51,120 --> 00:54:54,720
Alright, three down, six to go,
Celeste.
1185
00:54:54,760 --> 00:54:56,760
Take it easy.
1186
00:54:56,800 --> 00:54:58,600
Take it easy. Take it easy.
1187
00:55:00,120 --> 00:55:03,320
Oh, this is where the course
really starts to bite.
1188
00:55:03,400 --> 00:55:06,480
And now she hits the first
of these boards.
1189
00:55:06,560 --> 00:55:11,120
She's got to take the pegs
out of the holes and move them along.
1190
00:55:11,200 --> 00:55:15,080
The strength required just to pull
one of them out.
1191
00:55:15,120 --> 00:55:16,960
This is going to be a slow process.
1192
00:55:17,000 --> 00:55:19,560
The question will be whether or not
1193
00:55:19,640 --> 00:55:23,160
she can sustain all the time
up on those boards.
1194
00:55:23,200 --> 00:55:25,440
She's up there for a while.
1195
00:55:25,480 --> 00:55:28,120
You got it. You got it.
1196
00:55:28,160 --> 00:55:29,680
You got it.
1197
00:55:29,760 --> 00:55:32,960
Doesn't want to take
too long on here.
1198
00:55:33,040 --> 00:55:35,840
Starting to feel it now
in the fingers and the forearms.
1199
00:55:35,880 --> 00:55:37,680
In the arms.
1200
00:55:37,760 --> 00:55:40,440
Not to mention, it is
also the furthest fastest.
1201
00:55:40,520 --> 00:55:44,280
Got to keep one eye on the clock
to get through to the final.
1202
00:55:44,320 --> 00:55:46,920
She is exercising patience
1203
00:55:47,000 --> 00:55:50,800
and caution at the moment and now
she starts kicking up these feet.
1204
00:55:50,880 --> 00:55:53,520
Oh, she's got to make
this transition over
1205
00:55:53,560 --> 00:55:55,960
and it is one frightening one.
1206
00:55:56,040 --> 00:55:58,480
Look at the angle
that her arms are on.
1207
00:55:58,520 --> 00:56:00,520
Yes, Celeste Dixon.
1208
00:56:00,560 --> 00:56:02,480
Oh, Celeste.
1209
00:56:02,520 --> 00:56:03,760
You little ripper.
1210
00:56:03,800 --> 00:56:08,600
Superb, absolutely superb.
1211
00:56:08,680 --> 00:56:11,400
I honestly did not think
she was going to make that.
1212
00:56:11,480 --> 00:56:14,120
She spent so much time
hanging in the air
1213
00:56:14,200 --> 00:56:17,360
and to do this, fingers crossed
she gets the dismount.
1214
00:56:17,400 --> 00:56:18,440
Yes, she's got the swing.
1215
00:56:18,480 --> 00:56:20,000
To do that is incredible.
1216
00:56:20,040 --> 00:56:21,760
That's it. That's it.
1217
00:56:21,800 --> 00:56:24,880
You go, girl. You know this.
1218
00:56:26,880 --> 00:56:29,360
The battering ram
to pipe climber now.
1219
00:56:29,440 --> 00:56:32,360
She knows only the eight furthest
fastest go through
1220
00:56:32,400 --> 00:56:33,800
so she's got to pick it up.
1221
00:56:33,880 --> 00:56:35,960
On the other hand,
your body is saying,
1222
00:56:36,000 --> 00:56:37,960
"Hey, Celeste, give me a rest."
1223
00:56:38,040 --> 00:56:42,480
I reckon she's given herself
a good amount of time here.
1224
00:56:42,520 --> 00:56:46,000
She's given her body a decent spell.
1225
00:56:46,080 --> 00:56:49,840
Let's hope it's enough
and look at the focus on that face.
1226
00:56:49,880 --> 00:56:51,240
No doubt about that.
1227
00:56:51,280 --> 00:56:52,800
At this stage of the course,
1228
00:56:52,880 --> 00:56:57,440
no matter how fit you are, your arms
and upper body is stinging.
1229
00:56:57,480 --> 00:56:58,680
You'll be right.
1230
00:56:59,600 --> 00:57:00,840
And here she goes.
1231
00:57:00,880 --> 00:57:02,760
Oh!
1232
00:57:02,800 --> 00:57:04,120
She slipped.
1233
00:57:04,160 --> 00:57:07,320
Celeste Dixon just falls short.
1234
00:57:07,360 --> 00:57:08,880
Unbelievable.
1235
00:57:08,920 --> 00:57:10,400
Unbelievable.
1236
00:57:12,320 --> 00:57:16,400
After a promising start from
Celeste, fatigue came into play.
1237
00:57:16,440 --> 00:57:18,040
Like so many others,
1238
00:57:18,120 --> 00:57:21,240
she took too long on peg boards
burning time and energy.
1239
00:57:21,320 --> 00:57:25,320
Then she landed too far forward
on the trampoline
1240
00:57:25,400 --> 00:57:27,760
and didn't quite get the height
she needed
1241
00:57:27,800 --> 00:57:29,920
to reach that first battering ram.
1242
00:57:30,000 --> 00:57:32,960
Bad luck, Celeste Dixon.
Amazing run though, Freddie.
1243
00:57:33,040 --> 00:57:35,440
How much harder
is that course tonight?
1244
00:57:35,480 --> 00:57:36,880
Massively.
1245
00:57:36,920 --> 00:57:38,680
(LAUGHS) Massively harder.
1246
00:57:38,760 --> 00:57:40,240
The course plays tricks
on your mind.
1247
00:57:40,280 --> 00:57:41,840
It's not really about ability.
1248
00:57:41,920 --> 00:57:43,880
It's about the mind games
that it plays with you.
1249
00:57:43,960 --> 00:57:47,120
But, you know, you think I'd know
how to use a mini tramp.
1250
00:57:47,200 --> 00:57:48,600
Maybe I need to buy one.
(LAUGHTER)
1251
00:57:48,640 --> 00:57:51,080
Ladies and gentlemen, Celeste.
1252
00:57:51,120 --> 00:57:52,280
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
1253
00:57:52,320 --> 00:57:54,440
Unlucky.
1254
00:57:54,480 --> 00:57:56,200
Go Celeste!
1255
00:57:56,280 --> 00:58:00,400
Well, unfortunately Celeste misses
out on a place in the grand final
1256
00:58:00,480 --> 00:58:03,320
but the competition for those
top eight places
1257
00:58:03,360 --> 00:58:04,880
is just getting hotter.
1258
00:58:04,920 --> 00:58:06,400
It's Australian Ninja Warrior.
1259
00:58:06,440 --> 00:58:07,480
Don't go anywhere.
1260
00:58:07,560 --> 00:58:11,040
We are back with more of your ninja
heroes right after this.
1261
00:58:12,760 --> 00:58:16,080
Coming up, can anyone beat
this course?
1262
00:58:16,120 --> 00:58:18,960
We roll out the big guns next.
1263
00:58:19,040 --> 00:58:23,200
The Enforcer, riot squad cop
Geoffrey Merc.
1264
00:58:23,240 --> 00:58:24,840
Semifinals, why stop here?
1265
00:58:24,880 --> 00:58:26,440
Let's go all the way to the top.
1266
00:58:26,520 --> 00:58:29,320
Mount Midoriyama,
I'm coming for you.
1267
00:58:29,360 --> 00:58:31,720
And the barefoot ninja Daniel Mason.
1268
00:58:31,800 --> 00:58:34,560
He's completed every ninja course
he's attempted.
1269
00:58:34,640 --> 00:58:36,840
Can he keep that record intact
tonight?
1270
00:58:36,920 --> 00:58:39,200
I'm really trying to replicate
what I did last year,
1271
00:58:39,240 --> 00:58:40,440
just a little bit quicker.
1272
00:58:40,520 --> 00:58:43,320
I'm going to fly through that course
and make my way to the grand final.
1273
00:58:51,680 --> 00:58:53,840
Welcome back to
Australian Ninja Warrior
1274
00:58:53,880 --> 00:58:56,440
semifinal three and over the break,
1275
00:58:56,480 --> 00:58:59,320
some of our very best ninjas
1276
00:58:59,400 --> 00:59:01,600
attempted to crack
this brutal course.
1277
00:59:01,640 --> 00:59:03,880
After putting up a good fight,
1278
00:59:03,960 --> 00:59:08,280
it was a technical knockout for
one-time boxing champ Cody Phelp.
1279
00:59:08,360 --> 00:59:13,000
What an incredible run on probably
the toughest course
1280
00:59:13,040 --> 00:59:14,880
we've seen on Ninja Island.
1281
00:59:14,960 --> 00:59:18,920
Last year's furthest fastest
in the grand final, Fred Dorrington.
1282
00:59:19,000 --> 00:59:22,040
He looked the goods
until the tramp to bungee.
1283
00:59:22,080 --> 00:59:23,960
ALL: Oh!
1284
00:59:24,040 --> 00:59:26,160
That trampoline
has seen another off.
1285
00:59:26,200 --> 00:59:28,400
It's sent Fred Dorrington off.
1286
00:59:28,480 --> 00:59:32,320
And Adelaide firefighter Andy Dunt
was snuffed out
1287
00:59:32,360 --> 00:59:34,120
at exactly the same place.
1288
00:59:34,160 --> 00:59:36,400
ALL: Oh!
1289
00:59:36,440 --> 00:59:40,000
He has gone far enough to put himself
1290
00:59:40,080 --> 00:59:42,560
in a very strong position
to go into the grand final.
1291
00:59:42,600 --> 00:59:44,520
Absolutely.
1292
00:59:44,600 --> 00:59:48,840
At this stage, we have not had
a ninja up the final obstacle.
1293
00:59:48,880 --> 00:59:50,760
However, all that could change.
1294
00:59:50,840 --> 00:59:53,440
Let's have a look
at the leaderboard.
1295
00:59:53,520 --> 00:59:56,320
Looking at those top eight
qualifying faces,
1296
00:59:56,400 --> 00:59:58,920
the Baninja Ryan Brooke is still
in top spot
1297
00:59:58,960 --> 01:00:00,800
with Jayden Irving in second.
1298
01:00:00,880 --> 01:00:04,160
Last season's furthest fastest
Fred Dorrington comes in third.
1299
01:00:04,240 --> 01:00:07,480
Whilst the onesie ninja Laura
Edwards just hangs on in eighth
1300
01:00:07,520 --> 01:00:10,080
keeping her grand final dream alive.
1301
01:00:12,440 --> 01:00:14,360
We are nearing the end
of this semifinal
1302
01:00:14,400 --> 01:00:16,240
but if anyone can make it through
1303
01:00:16,280 --> 01:00:18,080
this toughest of tough courses,
1304
01:00:18,160 --> 01:00:20,400
you would have to say
it's our next ninja.
1305
01:00:20,480 --> 01:00:24,160
He's a hot favourite who has never
failed to complete a course
1306
01:00:24,240 --> 01:00:28,440
and he only just missed out on
a place in last year's grand final.
1307
01:00:28,480 --> 01:00:30,080
This guy is a contender.
1308
01:00:30,160 --> 01:00:32,680
Let's give him
a big round of applause.
1309
01:00:32,720 --> 01:00:35,480
Daniel Mason, the barefoot ninja.
1310
01:00:35,520 --> 01:00:37,920
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
1311
01:00:42,600 --> 01:00:44,640
It's Daniel Mason. 26 from Victoria.
1312
01:00:44,680 --> 01:00:46,960
A.k.a. The barefoot ninja.
1313
01:00:47,040 --> 01:00:48,960
He didn't make it
through to the finals last year.
1314
01:00:49,000 --> 01:00:50,920
He was too slow in the semis.
1315
01:00:50,960 --> 01:00:52,960
Looking to rectify that.
1316
01:00:53,000 --> 01:00:54,080
He was faster in the heats.
1317
01:00:54,120 --> 01:00:55,600
One of the quicker times.
1318
01:00:55,640 --> 01:00:56,920
But speed is all right.
1319
01:00:57,000 --> 01:00:59,760
You've just got to get to the end
of the semifinal course.
1320
01:00:59,840 --> 01:01:04,120
The barefoot ninja, yes, he's wearing
shoes for safety reasons.
1321
01:01:05,600 --> 01:01:07,000
There is the barefoot ninja's wife
1322
01:01:07,080 --> 01:01:09,600
Maddie and baby son Fletcher
cheering him on.
1323
01:01:09,680 --> 01:01:13,040
Hoping dad's got his fast
feet on tonight.
1324
01:01:15,160 --> 01:01:16,480
Here he goes.
1325
01:01:16,560 --> 01:01:19,120
He's got the pedigree to finish
this course.
1326
01:01:19,160 --> 01:01:20,280
Such an incredible record.
1327
01:01:20,360 --> 01:01:22,760
He's finished every course
he's started.
1328
01:01:22,840 --> 01:01:24,520
The only thing that's ever beaten him
is time.
1329
01:01:24,560 --> 01:01:26,720
Can he keep up that record tonight?
1330
01:01:26,800 --> 01:01:29,720
Now the frame slider,
Daniel is not tall.
1331
01:01:29,800 --> 01:01:32,440
Only 5'5" so it is a little bit
of a stretch
1332
01:01:32,480 --> 01:01:33,720
to wedge himself in here.
1333
01:01:33,760 --> 01:01:34,960
And he's off.
1334
01:01:35,000 --> 01:01:37,400
Okay. Oh, what?!
1335
01:01:37,480 --> 01:01:39,560
That's an obstacle so many ninjas
get through.
1336
01:01:39,640 --> 01:01:42,160
I didn't see the barefoot ninja
coming off there.
1337
01:01:43,480 --> 01:01:45,960
Oh, we had such
high hopes for Daniel.
1338
01:01:46,040 --> 01:01:49,720
Maybe it's the shoes but his left
foot just slipped down
1339
01:01:49,800 --> 01:01:52,360
when he hit that first jolt
and in a shock exit,
1340
01:01:52,440 --> 01:01:55,560
the barefoot ninja belly flops
out of the competition.
1341
01:01:55,600 --> 01:01:57,800
Bad luck, Daniel Mason.
1342
01:01:57,840 --> 01:01:59,920
Daniel, that's a big shock.
1343
01:02:00,000 --> 01:02:02,800
I did not see you coming
off on the frame rider.
1344
01:02:02,880 --> 01:02:05,240
No, I think I was concentrating
too much on the next one.
1345
01:02:05,320 --> 01:02:08,520
Big mistake to underestimate
any obstacle, I think.
1346
01:02:08,560 --> 01:02:10,280
Yeah, pretty disappointed.
1347
01:02:10,360 --> 01:02:12,280
You can't take your eyes
off anything on this.
1348
01:02:12,360 --> 01:02:13,800
Ladies and gentlemen,
the barefoot ninja.
1349
01:02:13,840 --> 01:02:15,400
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
1350
01:02:15,440 --> 01:02:16,480
Unlucky, pal.
1351
01:02:16,520 --> 01:02:17,800
Thank you very much.
1352
01:02:19,560 --> 01:02:21,320
Well, we've certainly seen
our fair share
1353
01:02:21,360 --> 01:02:24,080
of heartache on this course tonight.
1354
01:02:24,120 --> 01:02:26,400
Let's bring out the big guns.
1355
01:02:26,480 --> 01:02:31,200
Our next semifinalist
is the Enforcer Geoffrey Merc.
1356
01:02:31,280 --> 01:02:35,480
This police officer with the riot
squad had little trouble in his heat
1357
01:02:35,560 --> 01:02:40,120
and is now focused on progressing
to the grand final.
1358
01:02:40,160 --> 01:02:41,640
Jeffrey Merc.
1359
01:02:41,680 --> 01:02:45,440
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
1360
01:02:51,280 --> 01:02:54,720
He's one of our new heroes
and word on the street,
1361
01:02:54,760 --> 01:02:56,920
He is the one to beat.
1362
01:02:57,920 --> 01:03:00,520
Okay, there's his mum Feliciana
on the right
1363
01:03:00,600 --> 01:03:04,640
and his sister Jennifer
and brother-in-law Abun.
1364
01:03:07,000 --> 01:03:09,240
That's a game face if ever I saw one
1365
01:03:09,320 --> 01:03:11,240
and he's known to his mates
as the Enforcer.
1366
01:03:11,320 --> 01:03:15,240
He'll be doing everything he can
to dominate this course tonight.
1367
01:03:15,320 --> 01:03:17,920
Part of the riot squad,
based in Sydney.
1368
01:03:18,000 --> 01:03:20,880
I reckon there will be a riot
if he finishes this course tonight.
1369
01:03:20,960 --> 01:03:24,240
That is for sure.
There is huge support for Jeffro.
1370
01:03:24,280 --> 01:03:26,480
Come on, Jeffro.
1371
01:03:26,560 --> 01:03:28,720
We need someone to get through
this course.
1372
01:03:29,840 --> 01:03:32,400
Looking good. Looking cheeky.
1373
01:03:32,440 --> 01:03:34,800
Oh, and that's well done.
1374
01:03:36,440 --> 01:03:38,280
A little bow to his mates.
1375
01:03:38,360 --> 01:03:40,600
It might be a little bit
early for that, Jeffro.
1376
01:03:40,680 --> 01:03:43,280
You need to be concentrating
on the broken pipes.
1377
01:03:44,160 --> 01:03:48,120
He takes a moment. One step, two
step, halfway.
1378
01:03:48,160 --> 01:03:50,640
Oh! Jeffro!
1379
01:03:50,720 --> 01:03:55,160
Oh. On the third obstacle,
the one to beat is in the water.
1380
01:03:57,960 --> 01:03:59,280
And another one bites the dust.
1381
01:03:59,320 --> 01:04:01,560
Jeffro's two steps were good,
1382
01:04:01,640 --> 01:04:06,360
the pipe barely moved a millimetre
but he was going way too fast.
1383
01:04:06,440 --> 01:04:08,600
He couldn't stop himself
on the mushroom
1384
01:04:08,680 --> 01:04:11,720
and the Enforcer cops a punishment
on the crash mat.
1385
01:04:11,760 --> 01:04:13,440
Jeff, we had high hopes for you.
1386
01:04:13,520 --> 01:04:16,440
We thought you was going to get
through all the way to the final.
1387
01:04:16,480 --> 01:04:18,360
What went wrong, mate?
1388
01:04:18,400 --> 01:04:20,680
I kind of overestimated this...
1389
01:04:20,760 --> 01:04:22,920
I wanted to stop in the middle
to reset
1390
01:04:23,000 --> 01:04:25,320
but I think I was moving
too fast forward.
1391
01:04:25,400 --> 01:04:29,040
I didn't have time to reset
to keep going.
1392
01:04:29,080 --> 01:04:30,840
Yeah.
1393
01:04:30,880 --> 01:04:32,120
Here's your towel, Jeffrey.
1394
01:04:32,200 --> 01:04:35,840
Ladies and gentlemen,
the Enforcer, Jeffrey. Unlucky, pal.
1395
01:04:40,680 --> 01:04:45,000
Up next, the last chance to defeat
this semifinal three course
1396
01:04:45,040 --> 01:04:47,600
that's proving a nightmare tonight.
1397
01:04:47,680 --> 01:04:52,360
It's BMX champion Daniel Walker
getting some last-minute advice.
1398
01:04:52,400 --> 01:04:54,160
Bye. Love you.
1399
01:04:54,200 --> 01:04:57,240
Dada, hit the buzzer.
1400
01:05:06,720 --> 01:05:10,240
Welcome back to semifinal three
of Australian Ninja Warrior.
1401
01:05:10,320 --> 01:05:14,680
Incredibly, no one has hit the buzzer
so far tonight.
1402
01:05:14,760 --> 01:05:17,360
But our next ninja
has got what it takes.
1403
01:05:17,440 --> 01:05:21,720
The BMX ninja was up the wall first
in the heats
1404
01:05:21,800 --> 01:05:25,200
and now all of our hopes
are riding on him.
1405
01:05:25,240 --> 01:05:27,080
Watch out, Ninja Island.
1406
01:05:27,120 --> 01:05:28,760
Daniel Walker.
1407
01:05:28,800 --> 01:05:31,360
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
1408
01:05:31,400 --> 01:05:33,920
Let's go.
1409
01:05:33,960 --> 01:05:35,880
Let's go.
1410
01:05:35,920 --> 01:05:37,560
Let's go.
1411
01:05:40,920 --> 01:05:41,960
I walked on that stage
1412
01:05:42,040 --> 01:05:44,360
and just straight away,
I was just in the zone.
1413
01:05:44,440 --> 01:05:47,560
Stretching out, bit of a dance
actually, my wife told me.
1414
01:05:47,640 --> 01:05:51,520
This is the opportunity to make
his way up the warped wall.
1415
01:05:51,560 --> 01:05:55,120
He's done it. Daniel Walker.
1416
01:05:55,200 --> 01:05:58,080
Got up that wall and I just
screamed, jumping around.
1417
01:06:00,360 --> 01:06:01,720
It was emotional.
1418
01:06:01,760 --> 01:06:02,920
I feel it now.
1419
01:06:02,960 --> 01:06:05,280
But, um... Sorry.
1420
01:06:06,600 --> 01:06:08,280
Ninja Warrior is massive
to me at the moment.
1421
01:06:08,360 --> 01:06:11,480
Showing my kids that, no matter what
happens in life,
1422
01:06:11,520 --> 01:06:13,640
you can better yourself.
1423
01:06:13,680 --> 01:06:16,280
I want them to be proud of me.
1424
01:06:16,360 --> 01:06:18,160
They are going to be on the sideline
with me again.
1425
01:06:18,200 --> 01:06:19,960
I'm going to push and push.
1426
01:06:20,040 --> 01:06:22,360
When I'm sore and tired
and struggling,
1427
01:06:22,400 --> 01:06:24,080
look at them and keep going.
1428
01:06:24,120 --> 01:06:25,680
I will go further.
1429
01:06:25,760 --> 01:06:28,000
I'm keen. Confident.
I'm keen, confident and ready.
1430
01:06:28,080 --> 01:06:30,600
People might have underestimated me
being a BMX racer
1431
01:06:30,640 --> 01:06:32,000
but watch me tonight.
1432
01:06:32,080 --> 01:06:34,120
I'm going to smash that course
and hit that buzzer.
1433
01:06:35,600 --> 01:06:38,360
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
1434
01:06:38,400 --> 01:06:40,120
BMX! BMX!
1435
01:06:40,200 --> 01:06:41,840
And there are the faces
on the tattoos
1436
01:06:41,920 --> 01:06:47,040
- daughter Isabel, stepson Kai
along with Brooke and mum Annette.
1437
01:06:47,080 --> 01:06:48,440
Have a look at his face.
1438
01:06:48,480 --> 01:06:50,560
He wants it.
1439
01:06:50,600 --> 01:06:51,880
He is ready to go.
1440
01:06:51,920 --> 01:06:54,120
His family want it as well.
1441
01:06:54,160 --> 01:06:55,160
They are so excited.
1442
01:06:55,240 --> 01:06:58,160
It's one of the great things
about this whole experience.
1443
01:06:58,200 --> 01:07:00,280
It's not just the ninjas themselves.
1444
01:07:00,360 --> 01:07:03,520
It really is a whole family
experience for them.
1445
01:07:04,480 --> 01:07:06,520
Hold on, daddy!
1446
01:07:06,560 --> 01:07:08,040
Come on, Daniel. Hang on there.
1447
01:07:08,080 --> 01:07:09,680
Thud, thud.
1448
01:07:09,720 --> 01:07:11,000
Safe.
1449
01:07:11,920 --> 01:07:14,080
Yes! Yes!
1450
01:07:14,120 --> 01:07:15,640
Now the broken pipes.
1451
01:07:15,680 --> 01:07:17,280
One slip and you're off
1452
01:07:17,360 --> 01:07:20,280
as the Enforcer Geoffrey Merc
just discovered.
1453
01:07:20,360 --> 01:07:22,800
Just needs to keep it all in check
especially on this.
1454
01:07:22,840 --> 01:07:24,280
This is tough. Yes.
1455
01:07:24,320 --> 01:07:25,400
Go on, Daniel.
1456
01:07:25,440 --> 01:07:27,680
Oh, he'll be pleased with that.
1457
01:07:29,400 --> 01:07:31,400
Have a look at the stands.
1458
01:07:31,440 --> 01:07:33,240
Look at young Isabel.
1459
01:07:33,280 --> 01:07:35,200
She is riding every bump with him.
1460
01:07:35,240 --> 01:07:37,920
This next one will test them both.
1461
01:07:38,000 --> 01:07:41,200
The swinging pegboard,
prepare for pain, Daniel.
1462
01:07:41,280 --> 01:07:46,280
Okay, Daniel.
Show us how to do this.
1463
01:07:46,320 --> 01:07:48,360
One by one.
1464
01:07:48,440 --> 01:07:53,080
He removes the peg and finds a hole,
removes a peg and finds a hole.
1465
01:07:53,160 --> 01:07:55,960
Then he's going to get
this board swinging.
1466
01:07:56,000 --> 01:07:58,640
And transfer onto the next board.
1467
01:07:58,720 --> 01:08:01,640
Look at him holding his bodyweight
up like that.
1468
01:08:01,680 --> 01:08:04,920
It is an amazing thing to watch.
1469
01:08:04,960 --> 01:08:07,560
Win! Win!
1470
01:08:07,640 --> 01:08:10,720
And now, just kicking himself up,
making the transfer.
1471
01:08:10,800 --> 01:08:15,280
Honestly, you've got to be
in awe of our new ninjas
1472
01:08:15,360 --> 01:08:20,160
that can hang in the air like this
and complete that obstacle.
1473
01:08:20,240 --> 01:08:24,360
That is one tough cookie
that you're watching.
1474
01:08:24,440 --> 01:08:28,560
He needs to be tough, Bec,
because we know what's next.
1475
01:08:28,600 --> 01:08:30,320
The battering ram.
1476
01:08:30,360 --> 01:08:31,760
Come on, Dada.
1477
01:08:31,800 --> 01:08:33,480
Hang in there, Izzy.
1478
01:08:33,520 --> 01:08:35,040
Come on, Daniel.
1479
01:08:35,080 --> 01:08:36,280
The battering ram starts to move
1480
01:08:36,360 --> 01:08:38,200
across the first part
of this obstacle.
1481
01:08:38,240 --> 01:08:39,480
Look at the arms there.
1482
01:08:39,520 --> 01:08:41,600
They'll be burning at the moment.
1483
01:08:41,680 --> 01:08:44,560
Now he needs to make that
transfer to the second one
1484
01:08:44,640 --> 01:08:47,040
but you can see it's higher than
the first.
1485
01:08:47,080 --> 01:08:48,480
He's got to jump up here.
1486
01:08:48,520 --> 01:08:51,080
He makes it.
1487
01:08:51,120 --> 01:08:52,160
Now he needs to shimmy forward.
1488
01:08:52,200 --> 01:08:53,800
His shoulders will be burning.
1489
01:08:53,880 --> 01:08:56,000
Look at the tension
in the lats at the back.
1490
01:08:56,040 --> 01:08:57,720
Hooks his legs on.
1491
01:08:57,800 --> 01:09:00,360
There'll be relief there
once he lets them arms go.
1492
01:09:00,440 --> 01:09:02,520
Taking a bit of strain on the legs
now as well.
1493
01:09:02,560 --> 01:09:05,000
Come on, mate. Come on, mate.
1494
01:09:05,040 --> 01:09:06,600
Come on, mate.
1495
01:09:06,640 --> 01:09:08,360
Yes! Come on, mate.
1496
01:09:08,400 --> 01:09:10,360
Nicely done.
1497
01:09:10,400 --> 01:09:11,600
Through to the warped wall.
1498
01:09:11,640 --> 01:09:13,240
How cute is this kid?!
1499
01:09:13,280 --> 01:09:14,680
Here we go up the warped wall.
1500
01:09:14,720 --> 01:09:16,840
Can he do it? Of course he can.
1501
01:09:16,920 --> 01:09:20,000
Why am I even questioning
Daniel Walker?
1502
01:09:20,080 --> 01:09:23,360
Well, we've got to question
this next one,
1503
01:09:23,440 --> 01:09:27,640
Bec, because these next three
obstacles, no one has made it past.
1504
01:09:27,680 --> 01:09:29,680
The hourglass to tramp to bungee.
1505
01:09:29,720 --> 01:09:30,920
One step at a time.
1506
01:09:31,000 --> 01:09:35,640
The salmon ladder to floating monkey,
he composes himself, tests the tramp.
1507
01:09:37,680 --> 01:09:40,040
Come on, Daniel.
1508
01:09:40,080 --> 01:09:41,760
You can do this.
1509
01:09:41,800 --> 01:09:43,800
Yeah, big deep breath.
1510
01:09:43,880 --> 01:09:48,040
Here he goes. Up onto the first
rung. Steadies himself.
1511
01:09:48,120 --> 01:09:51,880
Got to get up three rungs
and take the bar with you, Ben.
1512
01:09:51,920 --> 01:09:53,960
He is getting set for the first.
1513
01:09:54,000 --> 01:09:55,920
Taking his time to make sure.
1514
01:09:55,960 --> 01:09:57,680
One...
1515
01:09:57,720 --> 01:09:59,920
Again, taking his time, too.
1516
01:09:59,960 --> 01:10:01,120
Oh.
1517
01:10:01,160 --> 01:10:02,600
Can he lift himself up?
1518
01:10:02,680 --> 01:10:05,080
He gave himself a little
shake of the head there, Bec.
1519
01:10:05,120 --> 01:10:07,200
I think he's worried now.
1520
01:10:07,280 --> 01:10:09,600
He's just got to do it
one more time.
1521
01:10:09,680 --> 01:10:12,920
He finds something. He digs really
deep and he's done it.
1522
01:10:12,960 --> 01:10:14,920
Oh, now all of a sudden.
1523
01:10:14,960 --> 01:10:16,080
He's in the pool.
1524
01:10:16,160 --> 01:10:19,920
It's alright. He did good.
He did good, baby girl.
1525
01:10:19,960 --> 01:10:22,520
He did good. He did good.
1526
01:10:22,560 --> 01:10:24,000
That was a phenomenal run.
1527
01:10:24,040 --> 01:10:28,720
He absolutely gave it 100% tonight.
1528
01:10:28,800 --> 01:10:33,360
As this semifinal course claims
our final ninja of the night,
1529
01:10:33,440 --> 01:10:37,080
we've got to say, this really
is the toughest we've seen.
1530
01:10:37,120 --> 01:10:39,320
That killer combination, pegboard
1531
01:10:39,400 --> 01:10:42,840
into the battering ram, it
just shreds their arm strength.
1532
01:10:42,920 --> 01:10:45,800
By the time Daniel reaches
the salmon ladder,
1533
01:10:45,880 --> 01:10:49,120
he's struggling to hold on,
let alone jump up three rungs.
1534
01:10:49,200 --> 01:10:53,320
Wow, it's been a tough night,
Freddie.
1535
01:10:53,360 --> 01:10:54,760
Daniel, that was incredible.
1536
01:10:54,800 --> 01:10:56,120
I enjoyed watching that.
1537
01:10:56,160 --> 01:10:57,400
Mate, you're a BMXer.
1538
01:10:57,440 --> 01:10:59,560
You've turned your life around.
1539
01:10:59,640 --> 01:11:02,240
Can you believe where you are
on Ninja Warrior right now?
1540
01:11:02,280 --> 01:11:04,040
To be honest, I really can't.
1541
01:11:04,080 --> 01:11:05,400
I'm super proud.
1542
01:11:05,480 --> 01:11:07,840
Them three over there,
they're the reason I'm doing this.
1543
01:11:07,880 --> 01:11:09,640
I'm stoked for where I got.
1544
01:11:09,720 --> 01:11:12,400
I'm stoked that I got past
the second obstacle.
1545
01:11:12,440 --> 01:11:14,120
You can't really complain.
1546
01:11:14,160 --> 01:11:15,960
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
1547
01:11:16,040 --> 01:11:17,480
You know your family are waiting
over there.
1548
01:11:17,560 --> 01:11:19,120
Go and join them, pal.
Great effort, Daniel.
1549
01:11:19,160 --> 01:11:21,120
Well done, mate.
1550
01:11:21,160 --> 01:11:25,280
ALL: Daniel! Daniel! Daniel! Daniel!
1551
01:11:26,520 --> 01:11:28,920
Well, that's another semifinal
under our belt
1552
01:11:29,000 --> 01:11:33,240
with, you'd have to say,
some rather unexpected results.
1553
01:11:33,280 --> 01:11:35,040
No one completed the course
1554
01:11:35,120 --> 01:11:36,640
so let's bring up
the final leaderboard
1555
01:11:36,720 --> 01:11:39,600
and check out who went
the furthest fastest
1556
01:11:39,640 --> 01:11:42,280
to secure a spot in the grand final.
1557
01:11:42,360 --> 01:11:46,560
The Baninja Ryan Brooke
sits in top spot.
1558
01:11:46,600 --> 01:11:48,400
Jayden Irving is in two.
1559
01:11:48,480 --> 01:11:52,280
While last season's furthest fastest
Fred Dorrington is in third.
1560
01:11:52,360 --> 01:11:55,440
The BMX ninja Daniel Walker
comes in at seventh
1561
01:11:55,520 --> 01:11:59,960
while ninja Damo Damien Lees
rounds out tonight's top eight.
1562
01:12:01,040 --> 01:12:05,640
Which unfortunately means the onesie
ninja Laura Edwards just misses out
1563
01:12:05,680 --> 01:12:07,600
on a place in the grand final.
1564
01:12:09,840 --> 01:12:12,080
In a night where no one
completed the course,
1565
01:12:12,160 --> 01:12:15,040
the pick of the bunch has to be
the Baninja Ryan Brooke.
1566
01:12:15,120 --> 01:12:18,520
Although the 26-year-old only made it
as far as the eighth obstacle,
1567
01:12:18,600 --> 01:12:21,720
with a time of four minutes,
six seconds,
1568
01:12:21,800 --> 01:12:26,640
the returning semifinalist was
the furthest fastest of the night.
1569
01:12:30,720 --> 01:12:34,800
So, next week sees the conclusion
of this incredible second season
1570
01:12:34,880 --> 01:12:39,320
with one more semifinal
before the grand final kicks in.
1571
01:12:39,360 --> 01:12:40,960
So many of our returning
1572
01:12:41,040 --> 01:12:44,120
and new heroes are booking
their tickets to Ninja Island
1573
01:12:44,160 --> 01:12:46,880
in what is sure to be an epic week.
1574
01:12:46,920 --> 01:12:48,400
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
1575
01:12:48,480 --> 01:12:52,120
Great athletes, great obstacles
waiting to be conquered.
1576
01:12:52,200 --> 01:12:56,640
But the big question, who among them
can become Australia's Ninja Warrior?
1577
01:12:56,720 --> 01:13:00,240
It will be fascinating to watch
the whole thing unfold.
1578
01:13:00,280 --> 01:13:02,200
Until then, from an Ninja Island...
1579
01:13:02,280 --> 01:13:03,640
Good night.
Good night.
1580
01:13:03,680 --> 01:13:04,720
Good night.
