00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:04,320
BEN FORDHAM: Tonight, it's the fifth
and final qualifying heat
2
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:10,960
for a guaranteed $100,000 and
a potential shot at Mount Midoriyama.
3
00:00:11,040 --> 00:00:14,640
Only 18 semifinal places remain.
Whoo!
4
00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:18,480
Fighting for a spot,
some unconventional new ninjas.
5
00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:20,200
Fashion model Winson Lam.
6
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:22,680
Tonight, people are gonna take me
seriously as an athlete
7
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:24,440
and not just like a set of abs.
8
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:26,120
Golfer Charlie Robbins.
9
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:27,960
There's not many people my age
that play golf,
10
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:30,080
so the inside joke
is that I'm 80 years old.
11
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:33,720
And our first ever
professional jockey, Stephen Baster.
12
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:36,280
People would think a jockey
can't take on this course.
13
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:38,000
I'm here to prove
that the little guy can.
14
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:42,240
But they'll be up against returning
powerhouses like the Pawson twins.
15
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:44,120
BEC MADDERN: Oh!
Oh, what was that?!
16
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:47,520
And elite favourites,
Disco Ninja Betsy Burnett...
17
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:50,600
This is a moment
Betty Burnett will not forget!
18
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:53,880
..and fully recovered
from Ross River fever, Sam Goodall.
19
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:57,520
I feel better physically
and I'm back to take this course on.
20
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:01,720
For these ninjas, it's now or never
in the final qualifying heat.
21
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:04,240
There will be a winner.
22
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:11,800
(FIREWORKS POP)
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
23
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:16,000
Welcome to Australian Ninja Warrior.
I'm Ben Fordham.
24
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:18,000
And I'm Rebecca Maddern.
25
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:21,240
And what a great start we've had
to our 2019 season.
26
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:24,000
Four heats down, only one to go.
27
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:26,040
We've seen some amazing successes.
28
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:30,720
Olivia Vivian, the game-changer
and the record-breaker...
29
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:33,200
Extraordinary moments...
30
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:34,680
FREDDIE FLINTOFF: Unbelievable!
31
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:37,720
He's done it! He's saved himself!
32
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:42,680
..on this, the world's biggest
and toughest obstacle course.
33
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:44,840
Oh!
No!
34
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:47,160
Tonight, it's all or nothing,
35
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:50,840
the last chance to claim a spot
in the semifinals.
36
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:53,080
And what a line-up we've got.
37
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:56,440
Inspirational newcomers
against ninja royalty.
38
00:01:56,520 --> 00:02:01,520
Only the top 18 furthest fastest
will make it through to the semis.
39
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:03,920
Let's take a look
at tonight's obstacles.
40
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:10,000
First up, never to be underestimated,
the Floating Steps -
41
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:13,520
a huge test of nerves
and leg strength.
42
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:17,840
The now infamous Butterfly Wall
is responsible for knocking out
43
00:02:17,920 --> 00:02:20,920
half of our competitors
every time it appears.
44
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,280
Will it be the same tonight?
45
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:25,320
The Tuning Forks are next.
46
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:28,200
Failure to land
in the centre of each platform
47
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,040
sends the forks spinning.
48
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:33,320
Another favourite in the water
far too early!
49
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:36,120
The Rolling Steel
demands all of our competitors
50
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:41,520
use every bit of their upper-body
strength to traverse a 6.6m rail.
51
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:46,760
And seen for the first time
in heat two, the Double Squirrel -
52
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:49,520
a huge 3m from the tramp,
53
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:53,080
then a 3m lache between
the squirrels before the dismount.
54
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:56,440
And if they can get through
all of those,
55
00:02:56,520 --> 00:03:00,320
they must decide between
the 4.2m Warped Wall...
56
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:01,400
Yeah!
57
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:04,920
..and the 5.2m Mega Warped Wall.
58
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:08,120
Tonight is the final night
for this formidable obstacle.
59
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:09,760
Oh, no!
60
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:12,000
14 have been brave enough to try it
61
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:16,400
and seven have reached the top
to win $5,000.
62
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:21,400
At stake tonight in heat five,
the final 18 spots
63
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:23,840
to advance to
one of three semifinals
64
00:03:23,920 --> 00:03:26,480
and pave the way
to the grand finals.
65
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:29,400
(CHEERING)
66
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:31,520
Yeah, tonight we've got
some real contenders, Bec.
67
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:33,960
Let's bring out the first.
68
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:38,840
Everyone get excited, because
the parkour Pawson twins are back.
69
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:42,000
Brodie is the older twin
by 20 minutes.
70
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:45,680
He's in white tonight,
with Dylan in the beige T-shirt.
71
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:50,600
Every year, they wow us and now
they're taking their talents global.
72
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:55,120
Less than a month ago, me and my
brother, we were in Santorini
73
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:59,040
and when we were there, it was just,
like, literally just parkour heaven.
74
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:01,720
It's pretty precise and planned,
what we're doing.
75
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:05,640
You've just gotta be super careful.
76
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:19,080
So, last season, in the semifinals,
when I got to the Broken Pipes,
77
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:21,600
I was way more comfortable
jumping that pipe...
78
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:23,040
Oh!
..than running along it.
79
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:24,440
What?!
80
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:26,400
It just makes more sense in my head.
81
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:28,000
This year,
I just want to make it further.
82
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,280
I just want to try to get through
the finals.
83
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:32,720
Amazing footage. Amazing athlete.
84
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:35,440
Make some noise for Brodie Pawson.
85
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,000
FREDDIE: Here he is -
one half of the Pawson twins
86
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:39,240
and we all know about this lad.
87
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:41,440
Remember the leap last year
on the logs?
88
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:45,160
He made the semis
in season one and two
89
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:49,240
but brother Dylan down on the
sideline there missed out last year.
90
00:04:49,280 --> 00:04:51,640
Strong rivalry between these two.
91
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:54,520
He's gonna be quick.
Blink and you might miss this one.
92
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:55,840
(DING!)
Here we go.
93
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:59,360
The last heat
of Australian Ninja Warrior for 2019.
94
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:01,760
We're underway.
Oh, look at this.
95
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:03,040
This is textbook.
96
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:06,320
Textbook attack
of the Floating Steps.
97
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:09,880
Now takes on the Butterfly Wall.
98
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:12,280
Oh!
And the quick dismount.
99
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:14,440
That is good.
100
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:16,200
Next, the Tuning Forks.
101
00:05:16,280 --> 00:05:19,320
Three rotating prongs.
It's all footwork here.
102
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:20,680
He should be good at this.
103
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:23,520
Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
Oh, no!
104
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:25,000
Oh!
105
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:29,440
Brodie Pawson has slipped
and gone in the drink...
106
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:31,080
Brodie...
..on obstacle number three.
107
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:33,320
Listen to the crowd.
Everyone's stunned.
108
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,520
That was not supposed to happen.
109
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:39,960
You can say that again.
110
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:41,920
Parkour boys -
they're great on their feet.
111
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,440
But see how Brodie misses
the fourth step?
112
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:49,320
So many ninjas have done that.
Nearly all have had the same result.
113
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:50,720
Sorry, Brodie.
114
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:54,080
Brodie, I think you can sense
by the atmosphere in here,
115
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:55,880
everyone's just stunned.
116
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:57,760
Probably yourself as well.
Yeah, definitely.
117
00:05:57,840 --> 00:06:01,160
Like, yeah, you can't really take
any obstacle, like, lightly.
118
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:06,520
You have to be 100% focused on it.
And it can happen to anyone. (SIGHS)
119
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:08,280
You got any advice for your brother
coming up?
120
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:10,840
Oh, just take a bit more time.
121
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:14,080
Like, look at it a bit longer
and probably run a bit faster too.
122
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:17,360
DYLAN: He just got unlucky. Damn.
123
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:20,720
Everyone's clapping, but nobody can
quite believe it. Unlucky, mate.
124
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:26,560
Yeah, as Brodie Pawson walks away
with his brother Dylan,
125
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:28,040
who will be coming up very shortly,
126
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:31,680
just keep in mind, you never know,
he might still make it through,
127
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:35,240
Brodie Pawson, because in the end,
it comes down to furthest fastest.
128
00:06:35,280 --> 00:06:37,840
..as in you went just too slow.
129
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:42,640
But now, from South Australia, rock
climbing mum of three Katrina Bean.
130
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,960
My partner actually entered me into
a rock-climbing competition
131
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,400
two days before I was due
with this little guy
132
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:55,000
and somewhat surprisingly - mwah!
- And funnily, I won my category.
133
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:56,160
(LAUGHS)
134
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:01,000
I'm very, very aware of my body
and what I'm capable of.
135
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:02,520
And I think women that are pregnant
136
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:05,320
and women that have got
small or older children,
137
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:08,520
that your body actually can do
a vast amount more
138
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:09,880
than you ever actually think it can.
139
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:11,880
And to me,
rock-climbing in a harness
140
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:14,400
was safer than sitting in a car
with the seatbelt over my stomach
141
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:15,520
when I was pregnant.
142
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:19,560
I am a strong female and I'm happy
to push my health and my strength
143
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:23,680
as much as it takes to try a super
hard course like Ninja Warrior.
144
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:27,200
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
Here she is - Katrina Bean.
145
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:29,520
I always thought being pregnant
wasn't that hard.
146
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:31,920
That was a joke! That was a joke!
I'm joking!
147
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:34,320
BEC: This woman is a superwoman.
148
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:36,600
I cannot believe she was
in a rock-climbing competition
149
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:38,800
and three days later gave birth.
150
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:42,360
And there's the new addition.
151
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:44,880
Oh, hello, bubba!
Beautiful.
152
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:46,120
Look at those cheeks!
153
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:52,120
We know from previous seasons...
(DING!)
154
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:55,560
..this course does suit
the rock-climbers.
155
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:56,600
Yeah!
156
00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:59,240
They've got great
power-to-weight ratio
157
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:02,880
and they tend to be very cool
and calm under pressure.
158
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:05,280
And she clears the Floating Steps.
159
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:08,560
Partner Marinko,
the kids, Levi and Finn,
160
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:10,520
they're happy to see her through.
161
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:13,400
And I'd imagine she'd be suited
for the Butterfly Wall.
162
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:14,800
Plenty of grip strength.
163
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:17,440
As she eyes it up, jumps...
164
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:20,120
Oh, nicely on.
Just manoeuvres herself to the rope.
165
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:22,280
Oh... Oh, no!
No!
166
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:25,600
Just as I was saying
it suits the rock-climbers,
167
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,800
we find one of our strongest women
in the pool.
168
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:31,440
Oh, look at that poor little fella!
169
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:33,080
Have a look at this.
Here's the replay.
170
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:35,600
Katrina, she lands well
on the Butterfly Wall
171
00:08:35,680 --> 00:08:38,640
but then when she makes that move to
the rope, she actually missed it.
172
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:41,160
Her right hand missed the rope.
Then she just couldn't hold on.
173
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:44,240
Oh, well. Did you feel your finger?
Yeah, I felt it.
174
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:51,720
This course once again baring its
teeth, but can Dylan Pawson tame it?
175
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:55,560
His brother Brodie is
on the sidelines, ready to find out.
176
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:58,080
Put your hands together
for Dylan Pawson.
177
00:08:58,120 --> 00:08:59,320
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
178
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:02,880
He's just seen his brother's
shock exit on obstacle three.
179
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:06,560
Dylan, can you turn this around?
180
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:09,400
FREDDIE: He'll want to salvage
some pride for the family
181
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:11,320
by getting to the top
of the Mega Warped Wall.
182
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:14,800
He looks a bit tense.
183
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:19,120
Yeah, the scary thing is, these guys
have almost identical style.
184
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:20,880
(DING!)
185
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:24,840
So, Dylan, at risk of making
the same mistake as Brodie.
186
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:26,680
You got it, bro!
187
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:29,600
Remember, he missed out
on the semifinals last year as well,
188
00:09:29,680 --> 00:09:31,880
so plenty to prove
and plenty of pressure.
189
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:36,200
So, that's one obstacle down.
Now the Butterfly Wall.
190
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:38,840
Good leap.
191
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:40,760
No issue whatsoever.
192
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:43,000
Oh, wow!
(CHEERING)
193
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:45,440
Take your time, bro. Take your time.
194
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:47,480
Goes onto the Tuning Forks,
195
00:09:47,560 --> 00:09:50,920
the obstacle where his brother
came undone on the last one.
196
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:52,880
As his brother talked to him,
as he told him,
197
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:55,120
"Just take your time. Not too fast."
198
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:58,120
Oh, it's close! Close...
Ooh.
199
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:00,680
Almost falling
where his brother went down.
200
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:03,080
Goodness me.
Whoo!
201
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:04,960
Good save, bro. Good save.
202
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:08,160
He got through that
by the skin of his teeth
203
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:09,960
and he's further than anybody else.
204
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:13,480
The Rolling Steel now. 6.6m.
205
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:15,720
Look at this bloke powering through.
206
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:21,200
Dylan Pawson... gets that job done.
207
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:22,520
(CHEERING)
208
00:10:22,560 --> 00:10:24,000
Obstacle number five is next.
209
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:28,880
This is the Double Squirrel and he's
got to hit this tramp just right.
210
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:30,800
(CHEERING)
Gets it!
211
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:33,160
Big swing! Big swing!
212
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:35,280
And the handlebars
you've got to grab onto...
213
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:36,720
Oh, he's going!
..are tiny.
214
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:38,760
Nice!
That was right.
215
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:40,000
You've got it, bro!
216
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:43,680
And then the next question,
when he lands from this,
217
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:45,880
is he gonna take
the Mega Warped Wall?
218
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:49,640
Dylan Pawson,
our first to the double Warped Walls.
219
00:10:49,680 --> 00:10:52,000
Just breathe, bro. Breathe.
220
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:53,600
The Warped Wall is faster,
221
00:10:53,680 --> 00:10:58,160
but will he risk it all
to go the Mega and the $5,000 cash?
222
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:00,880
He's having a look at it.
It's 1m higher.
223
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:03,640
Only seven have made it up
so far this season.
224
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:07,000
He's just looking to the top.
He's looking to the big one.
225
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:09,760
If anyone's gonna get up this,
it's this young man.
226
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:11,800
It's the Mega. He's going the Mega.
227
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:15,480
Can he be the first
up the Mega Warped Wall tonight?
228
00:11:16,560 --> 00:11:17,720
He's there!
Oh, he's done it!
229
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:19,520
He's done it!
Dylan Pawson!
230
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:23,480
He gets to the top
of the Mega Warped Wall!
231
00:11:23,560 --> 00:11:26,880
And the fireworks go off!
He salutes his brother!
232
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:29,840
He's trying to look happy for him,
but I reckon he's gutted.
233
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:33,480
That was amazing!
234
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:37,040
Now you do it.
Yeah, OK.
235
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:39,600
He's just showing off now.
Wow, Dylan.
236
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:41,200
I had a crack and it was fun.
237
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:43,240
That's what it's all about.
Congratulations.
238
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:45,480
Go down there and say g'day
to Freddie and your brother.
239
00:11:46,560 --> 00:11:50,000
And how many other competitors are
going to go for that cash challenge
240
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:52,200
on their way to Ninja glory?
241
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:57,480
He missed out on the semis last year
but Dylan looked fantastic tonight.
242
00:11:57,560 --> 00:12:00,600
Like Brodie, he almost failed
at the Tuning Forks
243
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:02,120
but he managed to recover.
244
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:05,600
He showed great form
on the Double Squirrel,
245
00:12:05,680 --> 00:12:10,680
then he used all those parkour skills
to scale the Mega Warped Wall
246
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:14,760
in a time of two minutes 19 seconds.
247
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:16,840
You know, there was a pressure
on there for you.
248
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:19,920
Seeing your brother fall off on the
forks, did you feel added pressure?
249
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,880
The pressure, when I was running
across the forks, like, I felt it.
250
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:25,800
Had a bit of a stumble,
but I think I just got a bit lucky.
251
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:27,640
Well, you've totally
redeemed yourself this season
252
00:12:27,680 --> 00:12:28,680
after last year.
253
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:31,160
We wish you well and look forward
to seeing you in the semifinals.
254
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:33,320
Well done, Dylan. Well done, mate.
Go and join your brother.
255
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:35,640
Fantastic stuff from Dylan Pawson,
256
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:39,040
up the Mega Warped Wall
on his first attempt.
257
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:42,840
The challenge has been set
for the rest of the ninjas tonight.
258
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:44,360
Coming up...
259
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:46,400
He's buckling at his knees.
260
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:48,760
Just looks absolutely shattered.
261
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:52,880
After suffering from Ross River fever
for a year,
262
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:56,040
the Tradie Ninja,
Sam Goodall, is back.
263
00:12:56,120 --> 00:13:00,320
Dancing dad Paul Agyapong
shows off his fancy footwork.
264
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:01,480
(EXCLAIMS)
265
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:04,280
Melbourne Cup jockey Stephen Baster.
266
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:06,440
Hanging onto a 500-kilo horse
267
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:09,080
going 60 k an hour,
it's a massive adrenaline rush.
268
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:13,960
Ninja Warrior's first ever golfer
takes on the course.
269
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:16,960
Hi, guys. I'm Charlie Robbins.
I'm 20 years old and I'm from...
270
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:18,000
Ah...
271
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:19,400
(LAUGHS) Sorry.
272
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:22,240
And the Modern Mowgli,
Josh O'Sullivan.
273
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:26,360
Australia, you wanted a winner and
I'm here to show you it can be done.
274
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:38,240
Welcome back to the new season
of Australian Ninja Warrior.
275
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:41,080
It is a slightly chilly night
here in Melbourne.
276
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:42,760
But the action's red-hot,
277
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:45,840
with Dylan Pawson becoming
the first ninja of the night
278
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:48,720
to make it to the top
of the Mega Warped Wall.
279
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:54,000
But our next Ninja reckons
he has the moves to match him.
280
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:57,360
Put your hands together
for Paul Agyapong.
281
00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:00,120
Look at this lad!
Go on, Paul Agyapong!
282
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:03,760
He's having it. He's a forklift
truck driver from Sydney.
283
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:05,320
But don't be fooled by that.
284
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:07,400
He's a Brazilian dancer.
285
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:09,400
He's brought the whole crew along -
286
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:10,520
wife Denise,
287
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:15,920
the kids, Elijah, Isabella,
Gabrielle and little Jedi.
288
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,840
(CHEERING)
HOSTS: Oh!
289
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:21,400
Hells bells! I like this man.
290
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:24,720
Oh!
One-handed!
291
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:26,680
Forget the competition.
292
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:28,640
Yeah, don't worry
about the Mega Warped Wall.
293
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:30,960
He's the best dancer in the comp.
294
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:35,160
(DING!)
Here he goes - Paul Agyapong.
295
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:38,480
OK.
296
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:41,560
This is looking like
a bit of a slow start from Paul.
297
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:43,840
These steps are all about balance,
though.
298
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:46,720
We've seen his moves
on the start line.
299
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:49,120
He's gonna need a bit more than that
on the course, though.
300
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:51,160
(CHEERING)
301
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:56,080
The crowd getting
right behind Paul Agyapong.
302
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:59,480
There's a real good vibe here, Bec.
Great vibe.
303
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:02,080
Now just eyeing up
the Butterfly Wall.
304
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:05,280
Yes!
There we go. Oh, jump, jump, jump!
305
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:07,280
Come on, Paul!
HOSTS: Oh!
306
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:08,440
It was an interesting leap.
307
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:11,200
But it don't matter, as long as you
get there, Paul Agyapong!
308
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:13,200
He's got the strength!
(CHEERING)
309
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:15,320
Come on, Paul Agyapong!
310
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:16,640
Go fast, Dad!
311
00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:17,920
Come on, Paul.
312
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:19,520
Ooh, I'm worried about...
No.
313
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:21,160
Oh, no, he's gonna have
a good rhythm.
314
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:22,880
Of course he's going to.
Light on his feet.
315
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:24,600
Just channel your dancing, Paul.
316
00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:28,000
Oh...
Oh, he almost departed early.
317
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:30,000
Oh, he's managed to save...
Look at that.
318
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:33,600
And Paul Agyapong, the second ninja
through to obstacle four.
319
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:37,880
The crowd loving this fella,
as he comes onto the Rolling Steel.
320
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:39,360
We've seen his fancy footwork.
321
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:42,320
Now this is all about
upper-body strength.
322
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:45,760
Have a look at the size
of those arms!
323
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:49,040
He's not doing it as easily
as some of our other competitors.
324
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:53,880
Oh!
Oh! What about the commando roll!
325
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:57,680
Oh, yes! (LAUGHS)
The Double Squirrel now.
326
00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:01,680
Our dancing dad
up to the second-last obstacle.
327
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:04,080
Swing! Swing! Swing! Swing! Swing!
328
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:07,280
(CHEERING)
Come on, Paul.
329
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:08,880
He's got that first squirrel.
330
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:13,200
And this takes precision
and then strength to hold on.
331
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:14,560
I'm nervous.
332
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:17,080
I'm really nervous for his lache
to the second.
333
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:19,560
He needs to get his hips up.
334
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:22,320
No!
335
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:24,760
Oh, what a splash! (LAUGHS)
336
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:28,720
That is one of the biggest
face-plants we've seen...
337
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:32,760
Oh!
..on season three of Ninja Warrior.
338
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:36,760
Paul, I think it's fair to say that
everybody was enjoying that run.
339
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:38,480
How did you find it?
340
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:41,320
Oh, I found it very entertaining.
Good opportunity.
341
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:42,840
I'm so gutted
that I missed that one. Oh...
342
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:45,960
The thing I was watching was,
on every platform,
343
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:47,520
you were giving it a bit of this...
344
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:50,560
And then, when it came to swinging,
what happened to the rhythm?
345
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:51,800
Where was the rhythm?
346
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:54,960
I know. I guess that's what made me
fall down. I forgot to do my dance!
347
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:57,120
Oh...
Paul, absolute pleasure.
348
00:16:57,200 --> 00:16:58,760
Still got a chance
of making the semis.
349
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:01,560
We'll see how others go, but I'd
love to see you back. Cheers, mate.
350
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:02,880
Thank you so much. Paul Agyapong!
351
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:05,600
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
352
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:09,240
Paul's got the moves alright.
353
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:11,600
He reached the second-last obstacle.
354
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:14,360
That could be enough
to get a place in the semis.
355
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:15,920
Look at him go!
(CHEERING)
356
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:22,840
Stepping up now is
a returning ninja, Cian Maciejewski.
357
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:26,280
Cian is keen to show
what she is made of this year.
358
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:27,840
Come on, Cian!
359
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:33,040
CIAN: Confidence is my middle name.
I back myself 110%.
360
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:35,160
I work in mining.
361
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:37,080
I am the only female
excavator operator
362
00:17:37,120 --> 00:17:39,000
at the Warrior pit in Whyalla.
363
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:41,240
It was hard initially being a female
in a male-dominated industry,
364
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:43,640
but you've got to back yourself
in life.
365
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:47,000
Over the last year,
I have been engaged.
366
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:50,520
Yeah, pretty blessed to be
in the position I am right now.
367
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:54,960
So, Australian Ninja
season two, I found my weaknesses.
368
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:56,320
I didn't know how to swing.
369
00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:58,840
So, this year,
my swing is much better.
370
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:00,520
I know my ability.
371
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:02,600
I know how mentally strong I am
and physically,
372
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:05,800
so bringing it together on the Ninja
Warrior course is where I'm at.
373
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:10,120
Last year, I didn't quite make it
up that wall.
374
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:13,400
But this year, I'm gonna be up that
wall and I'm gonna kiss that buzzer.
375
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:15,520
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
376
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:17,040
What about that!
377
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:18,960
She's saying she's going up the wall
378
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:21,520
and she sounded pretty clear
when she said it.
379
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:25,800
So far this season, Olivia Vivian
the only woman up the wall.
380
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:28,120
It's time for number two.
381
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:31,720
And there's Cian's number two
on the sidelines, Tiana,
382
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:34,000
herself a competitor from last year.
383
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:36,920
Looking strong, looking confident.
(DING!)
384
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:40,320
Ex-soccer player,
done athletics all her life.
385
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:42,400
She will need all of that tonight
on this course.
386
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:43,720
Ooh!
Brace, brace.
387
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:45,320
Breathe.
388
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:48,320
It's only the first obstacle and I
reckon a lot of ninjas are, like,
389
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:50,480
"Oh, yeah, it's the first one.
We'll get through that."
390
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:53,160
Take them seriously. Trust us.
391
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:56,520
Here she goes.
392
00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:58,320
Straight through the first,
the Floating Steps.
393
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:00,080
That should settle her down
a little bit.
394
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:02,040
She's now got the Butterfly Wall,
though, Freddie.
395
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:06,000
And you need to reset here.
It's a bigger jump than you think.
396
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:07,400
But she's made it.
397
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:10,120
And straight onto the rope
and gets there!
398
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:11,880
Good form!
Whoo!
399
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:17,200
Turning her attention now
to the Tuning Forks.
400
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:18,840
She needs great balance.
401
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:20,960
You don't wanna spend too much time
on each fork.
402
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:22,480
I think she's gonna do this quickly.
403
00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:24,280
Have a look.
404
00:19:24,360 --> 00:19:26,400
One, two, three, four, five, six...
Oh, yeah.
405
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:29,240
She dances across. Dances across.
406
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:31,320
And a big smile.
She's happy with that.
407
00:19:31,360 --> 00:19:32,720
She knows that that's significant.
408
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:34,240
She's onto the Rolling Steel
409
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:37,400
20 seconds faster
than Paul Agyapong.
410
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:39,040
Cian is travelling well.
411
00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:40,800
Just gotta get them arms pumping.
412
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:42,560
We've seen the technique
with her legs too.
413
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:44,160
She has to keep them arms moving.
414
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:46,720
This is the first test
of her upper-body strength.
415
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:49,200
But I think she's got plenty of it.
416
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:54,760
And she is through - one step closer
to her goal of hitting that buzzer.
417
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:57,880
But first, is her swing good enough
for the Double Squirrel?
418
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:02,320
Now hits that first squirrel.
She's getting it moving.
419
00:20:02,360 --> 00:20:03,680
She's getting it swinging.
420
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:05,600
I think one more
and she's gonna make a leap
421
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:06,840
for the second set of handles.
422
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:09,440
Oh, another one perishes
on the squirrels!
423
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:11,840
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
424
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:15,520
So close, but looks like
the second set of handles
425
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:17,640
just slipped through her fingers.
426
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:19,880
Cian, you're still smiling.
Freddie!
427
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:22,720
Just ever so close
on the second set of handles.
428
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:27,080
Mate, the last thing that took me
out last year was the swinging.
429
00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:30,520
I've been training so hard
for that swinging. It got me again.
430
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:33,360
Great effort. Just ever so close.
I know.
431
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:35,520
Ladies and gentlemen,
big round of applause for Cian!
432
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:38,080
Well done. Great effort.
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
433
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:42,920
Yeah, there's fine margins
on those Double Squirrels.
434
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:44,200
Well done.
435
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:46,400
But she was quicker there
than Paul Agyapong
436
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:49,520
and that might be important later.
437
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:52,560
Coming up...
438
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:57,040
How will golfer Charlie Robbins do
on the Ninja Warrior course?
439
00:20:58,360 --> 00:21:02,040
This is a moment
Betsy Burnett will not forget
440
00:21:02,120 --> 00:21:05,840
and the Modern Mowgli
is up the top to congratulate her!
441
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:07,800
After beating the Warped Wall,
442
00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:11,760
season two super couple
Josh O'Sullivan and Betsy Burnett
443
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:14,120
are back to take on the Mega.
444
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:17,920
And cancer survivor Max Pertzel
445
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:20,520
brings his fighting spirit
to the course.
446
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:23,360
Training for Ninja Warrior
has been able to lift me back up
447
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:24,880
and get me back on track.
448
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:31,360
The KFC Youth Foundation
is a proud supporter
449
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:33,680
of Australia's youth
and Ninja Warrior.
450
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:37,240
For every ninja who dares to take on
the Mega Warped Wall tonight,
451
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:39,280
the KFC Youth Foundation
will donate
452
00:21:39,360 --> 00:21:41,880
$1,000 to their
charity partners.
453
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:49,440
Welcome back
to Australia Ninja Warrior,
454
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:54,920
where the race for the last 18
semifinal spots continues.
455
00:21:55,000 --> 00:22:00,000
Stepping up now is 24-year-old
professional boxer Adam Kaoullas.
456
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:03,880
And he's got a secret weapon
in his corner - his yiayia.
457
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:05,360
Bravo!

(BELL DINGS)
459
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:10,360
Boxing's a sport where
you have to go 100%.
460
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:13,040
It's too dangerous a sport
to not go 100%.
461
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:14,600
It's an individual sport.
462
00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:17,040
You can't point the finger
at anyone but yourself.
463
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:23,280
When I'm fighting,
my yiayia yells out.
464
00:22:23,360 --> 00:22:25,240
I can hear her voice
when I'm in the ring.
465
00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:26,960
Come on, Adam!
(LAUGHS)
466
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:29,640
Give him... Give him punch!
467
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:31,320
Thanks, Yiayia. Mwah!
468
00:22:31,360 --> 00:22:32,880
When you're hearing that,
469
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:35,560
you're not gonna stop and let your
opponent get the better of you.
470
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:37,360
I don't want her
to see me getting beat.
471
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:41,400
Team Kaoullas. She wears this
to all my boxing fights.
472
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:44,760
She definitely motivates me
to push that little bit harder.
473
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:51,920
She's 100% gonna push me
when I'm on the Ninja course.
474
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:55,120
She'll be screaming louder
than anyone.
475
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:58,760
Nothing's gonna stop me making it
through the Ninja Warrior course.
476
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:05,040
Adam Kaoullas, who'll be hoping for
a knockout run tonight.

Four-time world boxing champ Susie Q
479
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:13,880
didn't make it past
the Floating Steps in heat one.
480
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:16,600
Let's hope Adam can go further.
481
00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:20,000
He'll be tough.
He'll have good balance and stamina.

He looks fit, doesn't he?

Oh!
Oh, no.

Oh, no. That cannot be happening.

Oh, it's a KO, that.
488
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:33,520
It's a technical knockout early,
that.
489
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:37,440
He's a boxing champion.
He cannot go off on obstacle one.
490
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:40,360
Just too confident and too fast.
491
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:43,000
He lost his balance
on that first step.
492
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:46,560
The foot's in the water and he's out.
493
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:47,880
Wow!
494
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:50,840
Oh, no. Yiayia's devastated.
495
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:52,200
Oh, no. Not Yiayia.
496
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:54,800
Do I have to ask,
how are you feeling, Adam?
497
00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:56,640
Oh, horrible. Horrible after that.
498
00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:59,560
But you know what,
it was great fun being on there,
499
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:01,600
but, you know,
I really wanted to do more.
500
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:03,000
Your number one fan's
around the side.
501
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:04,560
I'm sure you're desperate
to see your yiayia.
502
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:07,200
She's so proud of you, mate.
Unlucky, Adam.

you've got to respect every single
obstacle on this course.
505
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:15,840
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
506
00:24:17,360 --> 00:24:19,480
Our next Ninja
spends most of his time
507
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:22,560
swinging a club
with people three times his age,
508
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:28,440
but does this 20-year-old golfer have
the game to go all the way tonight?
509
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:32,320
Make some noise
for Victorian Charlie Robbins.
510
00:24:34,360 --> 00:24:35,920
Hi, guys. I'm Charlie Robbins.
511
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:37,720
I'm 20 years old and I'm from...
Ah.
512
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:39,600
(LAUGHS) Sorry.
513
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:45,800
My love of golf
would've come from my grandparents.
514
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:47,720
Pity it's a long fairway. (LAUGHS)
515
00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:53,280
I started playing properly
when I was 12.
516
00:24:53,360 --> 00:24:55,360
There's not many people my age
that play golf,
517
00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:56,520
so, within my group of friends,
518
00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:58,160
inside joke
is that I'm 80 years old.
519
00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:00,480
No, no girlfriend.
520
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:03,640
I'm free if anyone wants. (LAUGHS)
521
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:05,720
Oh, dear.
522
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:09,960
So, the things that golf
will help me out with for Ninja
523
00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:12,280
are probably
a bit of course management -
524
00:25:12,360 --> 00:25:14,440
trying to think my way
through the obstacles
525
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:16,720
and not trying to get too far ahead
of myself.
526
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:18,840
I've had my aces on the golf course.
527
00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:21,440
Now it's time for me to ace the
course - or something like that.
528
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:23,760
Charlie Robbins.
529
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:25,440
He reckons he's no good
with the girls,
530
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:28,360
but very handy with a golf club.
531
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:30,200
(CHEERING)
Onya, Charlie.
532
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:31,360
(LAUGHS)
533
00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:33,640
Do you know what,
I'm gonna go out on a limb here.
534
00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:37,360
Don't be fooled by his outfit
or his glasses or his ginger hair.
535
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:40,840
This lad's getting to the top.
536
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:43,000
Or maybe not. Maybe not.
537
00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:45,240
Well, Freddie, he's no Paul Agyapong.
538
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:48,560
But will he have the footwork
to make it through this course?
539
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:52,160
And that's his grandad Taffy
on the sideline - his biggest fan.
540
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:53,320
(DING!)
541
00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:57,480
Hears the buzzer and makes his first
leap onto the Floating Steps.
542
00:25:57,520 --> 00:25:59,200
Doing this quite nicely.
543
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:01,160
Look at this.
544
00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:03,080
Oh, look at that! Look at that!
(CHEERING)
545
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:05,440
Never mind golf, Charlie.
You're a ninja, son.
546
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:08,440
Come on, mate. Keep cool.
You've got this, mate.
547
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:11,600
Big leap onto the Butterfly Wall.
548
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:13,120
Oh, oh, oh, oh...
Oh!
549
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:15,520
He missed it, Ben.
Get off there, Charlie Robbins.
550
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:17,240
Keep calm, mate.
551
00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:19,360
He's starting to slow down, Taffy.
552
00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:21,040
Don't get stuck.
You've got this!
553
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:25,040
Yes, Charlie!
Yay, Charlie!
554
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:28,040
Two down. So far, so good.
555
00:26:28,120 --> 00:26:31,200
Come on, Charlie!
Watch his technique across these.
556
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:32,720
Drag, drag!
557
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:34,480
Go, go, go, go, go!
558
00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:37,280
Oh, look at that!
Charlie Robbins flying!
559
00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:39,080
Go, Charlie!
560
00:26:39,120 --> 00:26:40,800
Blitzing his way through the course!
561
00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:42,720
Who'd have thought? Look at him go!
562
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:44,920
Yes! Swing it!
563
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:48,280
Swing, Charlie!
This is amazing!
564
00:26:48,360 --> 00:26:51,720
Charlie Robbins is 13 seconds faster
than Dylan Pawson!
565
00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:54,480
Can you believe it?
566
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:58,560
This lad's a gun! Absolute gun!
567
00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:00,200
Come on, mate, keep it up!
568
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:01,480
Now the Double Squirrel.
569
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:05,600
Second-last obstacle
before he reaches the Warped Wall.
570
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:07,720
He just needs to lache.
571
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:10,480
It's all about catching
these next handles, Bec.
572
00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:12,280
It is. He does!
Yes!
573
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:14,280
He's got great form, Ben!
574
00:27:14,360 --> 00:27:16,440
This is brilliant!
You've got this!
575
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:18,440
His coordination
and his flexibility...
576
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:20,840
Charlie Robbins!
..are so impressive.
577
00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:24,680
Dylan Pawson's time to beat
is two minutes 19 seconds.
578
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:27,120
Charlie is well inside that.
579
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:31,040
Will he take a crack
at the Mega Warped Wall?
580
00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:32,760
Yes, go for the cash, Charlie.
581
00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:36,520
When you're 20 years of age, five
grand is a hell of a lot of money,
582
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:37,880
so why wouldn't you?
583
00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:40,960
Beat the wall! Beat the wall!
Mega, baby. Mega, Mega, Mega!
584
00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:44,320
Who would've thought?
Charlie Robbins, the golfer.
585
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:48,080
And now he is faced with the Mega
Warped Wall and he's going Mega...
586
00:27:48,120 --> 00:27:49,440
Go on, Charlie. Go on.
587
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:50,880
HOSTS: Oh!
588
00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:52,320
I thought he had it.
589
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:54,920
He's got two more chances
to win five grand.
590
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:57,040
Stay calm, Charlie. Breathe.
591
00:27:57,080 --> 00:27:59,480
Breathe, Charlie! Breathe!
592
00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:01,200
Come on, Charlie.
You've got this, son.
593
00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:03,320
(CHEERING AND RHYTHMIC CLAPPING)
Everyone's right behind him.
594
00:28:03,360 --> 00:28:05,080
I love it. The unexpected.
595
00:28:05,120 --> 00:28:06,960
Come on, Charlie!
596
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:08,480
68kg.
597
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:10,520
Go, go, go, go, go.
175cm tall.
598
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:11,920
Ooh, he nearly head-butted
the wall there.
599
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:14,960
You can do it, Charlie!
You can do it!
600
00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:18,280
And this is his now final attempt...
OK.
601
00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:21,200
..at conquering the Mega Warped Wall.
602
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:23,720
Take a breath, Charlie.
603
00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:26,280
Don't rush it.
604
00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:27,600
Can he do it?
605
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:29,560
Here he goes.
Here we go. Go, Charlie.
606
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:34,280
Oh! Unlucky, Charlie Robbins.
But what a great effort!
607
00:28:34,360 --> 00:28:36,800
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
He's a freak.
608
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:38,400
I hope we see more of him.
609
00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:39,880
What a debut from Charlie Robbins.
610
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:43,720
Faster than Dylan Pawson, but he
didn't have enough left in the tank
611
00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:47,280
to reach into the top
of the Mega Warped Wall.
612
00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:48,560
But for that attempt,
613
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:53,120
there's $1,000 to KFC's
Youth Foundation charity partners.
614
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:55,320
Wow! Charlie!
615
00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:56,960
Mate, I'm not gonna lie.
616
00:28:57,040 --> 00:28:59,680
When I saw you on the start line,
in your golf kit, in your cap,
617
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:02,520
I didn't think you had any chance
of getting anywhere near that wall.
618
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:04,360
But you've surprised everyone.
619
00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:06,040
How far can you go
in this competition?
620
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:07,560
Fingers crossed, all the way.
621
00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:09,720
We'll see how we go.
We'll give it a good crack.
622
00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:11,320
What about you fellas?
623
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:13,480
You've gotta be proud of him
down the golf club now.
624
00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:14,720
We are. Yeah, very proud.
625
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:16,080
Charlie, absolute pleasure
to watch you.
626
00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:17,800
We're all right behind you.
Well done, mate.
627
00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:19,960
Let's have a look
at the leader board.
628
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:22,720
And there's Charlie in second place,
629
00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:24,320
behind Dylan Pawson,
630
00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:26,120
with Cian Maciejewski,
631
00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:28,240
dancing dad Paul Agyapong
632
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:29,840
and Brodie Pawson.
633
00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:32,520
BEC: Coming up...
634
00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:35,600
MAN: I enjoy the thrill
of riding winners,
635
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:36,840
but it's quite a dangerous sport
636
00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:38,960
and a lot of people
have lost their lives doing it.
637
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:40,720
.champion jockey Stephen Baster.
638
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:44,080
Model Winson Lam.
639
00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:45,720
When I run the course tonight,
640
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:47,640
people are gonna take me seriously
as an athlete
641
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:49,240
and not just like a set of abs.
642
00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:53,160
And season one's furthest fastest,
Fred Dorrington.
643
00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:55,720
Australia, you want a winner,
I want the title.
644
00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:57,920
Let's make it happen.
645
00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:05,600
BEC: Welcome back
to Australian Ninja Warrior
646
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:07,080
in my home town of Melbourne.
647
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:12,320
OK, I have been anticipating
our next competitor tonight
648
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:16,640
because we have our very first ever
professional jockey.
649
00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:18,360
Give it up for Stephen Baster.
650
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:20,640
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
651
00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:21,680
MAN: They're all in.
652
00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:28,240
STEPHEN: Hanging onto
a 500-kilo horse
653
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:30,720
going 60 k an hour
when you only weigh 50 kilos,
654
00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:32,440
it's a massive adrenaline rush.
655
00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:34,400
But it's quite a dangerous sport.
656
00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:36,280
A lot of people
have lost their lives doing it.
657
00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:37,840
It's probably something
that I don't think about
658
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:40,160
'cause I enjoy the thrill
of riding winners.
659
00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:42,760
COMMENTATOR: Pinot has won the Oaks
for Stevie Baster.
660
00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:45,960
People underestimate jockeys
as athletes.
661
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:47,720
Our aerobic fitness is quite good
662
00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:50,000
and obviously our strength
is quite good.
663
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:52,280
Yeah, I've ridden in some of
the biggest races in the country
664
00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:53,840
and won some of the biggest races.
665
00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:55,440
I love being competitive.
666
00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:56,920
When I saw Ninja Warrior come up,
667
00:30:57,000 --> 00:30:58,960
I jumped at the chance
to have a crack.
668
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:01,360
Here he is, Stephen Baster,
669
00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:03,760
with the chance to show
that size doesn't matter
670
00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:06,280
on the world's
toughest obstacle course.
671
00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:09,400
Best mate Phil, sister-in-law
Jasmine and wife Melissa
672
00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:11,400
leading the cheers on the sidelines.
673
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:13,360
Come on, Stephen Baster.
(DING!)
674
00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:17,600
The bell rings and his Ninja Warrior
mission gets underway.
675
00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:21,480
Now, these steps are 175cm apart.
676
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:25,400
Stephen's only 164cm. That's 5'3".
677
00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:28,120
So these are big jumps for a jockey.
678
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:31,520
But I tell you what, he's handling
this first obstacle really well.
679
00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:34,760
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
680
00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:37,880
He is through! That's one down,
five to go, Stephen.
681
00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:40,280
He's happy with that start.
682
00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:46,760
Plenty to go here, Steve.
This is gonna be interesting, this.
683
00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:50,040
Can he get a big enough leap
to grab onto the butterfly?
684
00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:51,480
Oh, he does! He does!
685
00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:54,040
He's spinning round. Look at him.
He's not hanging around.
686
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:56,640
Come on, Steve! What a good lad!
687
00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:58,960
Come on, Steve! Whoo!
688
00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:02,880
The next obstacle, the Tuning Forks,
favours those who are a little light.
689
00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:05,720
Oh! Stephen!
And he's just made that too!
690
00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:08,160
Oh, goodness me.
691
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:10,280
That was...
(LAUGHS)
692
00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:12,320
..a bit of a heart-starter.
Wasn't it?
693
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:16,120
Come on, Steve!
You're doing so well! You got this!
694
00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:19,080
You'd think, by holding the reins
of a thoroughbred,
695
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:21,320
he's gonna have
a lot of upper-body strength.
696
00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:23,320
And you can see it on display here.
Look at him go!
697
00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:26,000
He is just cruising through the air!
698
00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:29,480
Stephen Baster
doing it for the jockeys out there.
699
00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:32,040
I bet you Gai Waterhouse
is up off the couch,
700
00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:34,200
if she's not in bed already.
701
00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:37,040
She'll be watching.
Good evening, Gai.
702
00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:39,600
Obstacle five. This could be
the toughest yet for Stephen.
703
00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:44,160
Three metres to the first squirrel,
then three more to the second.
704
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:46,040
This is gonna be a real challenge.
705
00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:48,280
Yes, Steve!
706
00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:50,840
Only just reached
that first squirrel.
707
00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:56,120
And now these tiny little handles -
can he hit and stick?
708
00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:57,560
Yeah...
Oh!
709
00:32:57,640 --> 00:33:00,120
No!
Oh, Stevie!
710
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:02,000
He hit but he couldn't stick.
711
00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:04,240
(CHEERING)
712
00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:08,160
Put your hands together
for one of Australia's best jockeys,
713
00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:12,000
who's had a tremendous ride here
on Ninja Warrior.
714
00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:14,120
What a performance!
715
00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:17,000
He reached the second-last obstacle.
716
00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:19,520
He gave it a red-hot go, Bec.
717
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:22,280
He did well to make it to
the first squirrel from the tramp.
718
00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:24,160
His swing wasn't bad at all
719
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:27,480
but he just couldn't get his hands in
the right position on those handles
720
00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:28,960
on the second squirrel.
721
00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:31,240
Will it be enough for him
to go through?
722
00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:32,840
Let's hope so.
723
00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:35,400
Great effort from Stephen.
724
00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:37,680
Another new ninja performing well
725
00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:42,280
and he might just have done enough
to make it to the top 18.
726
00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:44,840
Also hoping for a tilt
at the semifinals
727
00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:50,040
is our next inspirational ninja,
Melbourne's own Max Pertzel.
728
00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:55,160
I had a bump on my head
that I completely ignored.
729
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:57,800
I was told it was a sebaceous cyst
730
00:33:57,880 --> 00:34:00,120
and then,
from further investigation,
731
00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:03,840
they found out that it was actually
a rare type of cancer.
732
00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:10,240
I went from being
in the best shape of my life
733
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:14,440
and then, out of nowhere,
within a couple of weeks,
734
00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:16,360
just to my lowest point.
735
00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:19,440
We found out that it had spread
everywhere in my head.
736
00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:20,960
And that's...
737
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:23,960
That's kind of the area they took.
738
00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:27,640
The fact that they got it all out
in this procedure,
739
00:34:27,720 --> 00:34:30,160
I'm just, like,
extremely grateful for.
740
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:32,680
So, training for Ninja Warrior
741
00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:36,640
has been something that I've been
able to do to keep my mind off,
742
00:34:36,720 --> 00:34:40,240
you know, the cancer and it's been
able to lift me back up
743
00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:43,160
and get me back on track
and it's good.
744
00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:45,360
I just want to prove to everyone
745
00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:50,480
that you can take hits and you can
keep going, no matter what they are.
746
00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:52,080
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
747
00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:54,520
Max Pertzel, you've got this.
748
00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:57,160
What an inspirational character.
749
00:34:57,240 --> 00:34:59,840
I think everyone's wanting Max
to succeed here,
750
00:34:59,920 --> 00:35:04,120
none more so than mum Teresa,
brother Jack.
751
00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:05,760
What a trial it's been for them too.
752
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:07,200
FREDDIE: I've seen him out the back
753
00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:10,000
and he's not stopped smiling
since he's got here.
754
00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:13,400
I think he might be a dark horse
in this competition.
755
00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:15,600
He's a big lad, he's heavy,
but he's so strong.
756
00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:19,840
Yeah, 92 'kegs' of pure muscle
and determination.
757
00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:23,080
(DING!)
That's the buzzer.
758
00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:25,600
Here he goes. Local boy Max Pertzel.
759
00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:29,400
WOMAN: Hang on tight, Max!
MAN: Hang on tight!
760
00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:34,840
Slow and steady. The Floating Steps.
Making sure he keeps his balance.
761
00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:37,240
Oh!
Whoa!
762
00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:38,920
And that's the last step.
763
00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:42,360
He'll be relieved
to get off that obstacle.
764
00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:46,520
Now facing the Butterfly Wall.
Great technique.
765
00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:48,440
He's straight through.
He's not hanging about.
766
00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:50,720
Nicely done, Max!
(CHEERING)
767
00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:52,720
And now the Tuning Forks.
768
00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:57,720
And this has brought many
a good ninja unstuck, this obstacle.
769
00:35:59,960 --> 00:36:02,240
The lighter contestants
usually do better on this,
770
00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:04,200
as they don't really move
the Tuning Forks.
771
00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:06,480
He's gonna have to be light.
He's gonna have to be nimble.
772
00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:08,520
Taking his time...
Oh, great work, Max!
773
00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:11,840
Three down and Max is flying.
774
00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:15,640
He's not far behind Dylan Pawson's
furthest fastest time.
775
00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:18,520
OK, here he goes. The Rolling Steel.
776
00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:21,480
He's getting a little bit stuck.
777
00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:23,840
Keep it moving, Max!
Keep them bars spinning!
778
00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:26,440
Keep going, son!
Just the dismount now.
779
00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:28,080
WOMAN: Come on, darling! Jump!
780
00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:30,640
MAN: Swing across!
Swing!
781
00:36:30,720 --> 00:36:32,000
And he's through.
(CHEERING)
782
00:36:32,040 --> 00:36:33,080
Righto.
783
00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:36,040
Let's take this thing to the max,
Max Pertzel.
784
00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:39,000
Can he land the Double Squirrel?
785
00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:41,480
(CHEERING)
Great work, Maxy!
786
00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:44,160
And that's a hell of an effort,
because he's not a small lad.
787
00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:50,720
One more and I think he'll go
for the second set of handles.
788
00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:53,240
Here he goes! Yes!
789
00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:56,320
Look at the strength
and the size of the arms!
790
00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:58,320
Look at the shoulders!
Everything working.
791
00:36:58,360 --> 00:36:59,800
He'll be screaming.
792
00:36:59,880 --> 00:37:02,200
He'll be desperate to get off these,
onto the platform.
793
00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:05,640
Oh, and he falls onto the platform,
but he's on it!
794
00:37:05,720 --> 00:37:08,640
It don't matter how you get there.
Just get there.
795
00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:10,720
Can you believe it? He's here.
796
00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:13,840
Max Pertzel has made it
to the double walls.
797
00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:16,920
He's within touching distance
of Dylan Pawson's time.
798
00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:19,800
Which way is he gonna go?
799
00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:21,920
Tough call for him, Bec.
800
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:24,400
Beat the wall! Beat the wall!
You know what?
801
00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:27,560
I think he's in absolute shock that
he's made it to the Warped Wall.
802
00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:30,160
Yeah, this is everything
he's been working for.
803
00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:32,600
Come on, Max.
804
00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:34,880
He's gonna go the faster option -
the Warped Wall.
805
00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:36,720
Not easy. No...
Oh, he can do it.
806
00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:38,440
He can do it.
His fingertips were there.
807
00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:39,520
Yeah, yeah.
808
00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:41,960
He just needs to go back, reset,
focus again.
809
00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:44,600
He's got two more attempts.
Here he goes.
810
00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:46,640
Reset for this second attempt
up the wall.
811
00:37:46,720 --> 00:37:47,840
Push, Max!
Yes!
812
00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:50,240
Yes, he does it!
Max Pertzel!
813
00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:51,800
What an achievement!
814
00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:57,400
And all of Australia applauds this
bloke, who's been to hell and back
815
00:37:57,480 --> 00:38:01,760
and now finds himself in second place
on Australian Ninja Warrior.
816
00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:04,320
WOMAN: Good boy! Good boy!
817
00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:07,080
Yeah!
818
00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:08,400
Whoo!
819
00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:11,440
Max, can you believe you made it
to the top of the Warped Wall?
820
00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:15,440
Crazy experience. I can't...
I'm speechless right now.
821
00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:16,520
That was amazing.
822
00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:19,600
Let's give him
a big round of applause. Max Pertzel!
823
00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:21,360
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
824
00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:24,880
That was such an inspirational run.
825
00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:27,000
Just as he's had to do in real life,
826
00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:29,440
he committed to
each of the obstacles tonight,
827
00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:31,040
fighting his way through,
828
00:38:31,120 --> 00:38:34,960
leaving nothing in the tank
and scaling the Warped Wall.
829
00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:38,320
Magnificent stuff here
on Australian Ninja Warrior.
830
00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:41,080
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
831
00:38:41,160 --> 00:38:42,720
Did you think
that you would be standing here,
832
00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:44,360
Ninja Warrior,
top of the Warped Wall?
833
00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:47,640
Oh, absolutely not.
I don't know...
834
00:38:47,720 --> 00:38:49,640
This year's been,
like, a crazy year for me,
835
00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:51,120
having gone through what I did.
836
00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:55,800
It's kind of given me a different
outlook on life and, I don't know,
837
00:38:55,880 --> 00:38:58,080
made me embrace,
you know, certain moments
838
00:38:58,160 --> 00:38:59,720
that I might be
a little uncomfortable with.
839
00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:01,960
And I don't know,
it's a beautiful thing.
840
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:03,400
Blessing in disguise, I guess.
841
00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:04,680
Mate, truly inspiring
842
00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:07,120
and let's hope this is the start
of great things for you.
843
00:39:07,200 --> 00:39:08,720
Well done, Max. Top man.
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
844
00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:11,560
There's something very special
845
00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:14,760
about some of the characters
who we meet on this show,
846
00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:18,000
the adversities they face,
the achievements that they notch up.
847
00:39:18,080 --> 00:39:22,600
What an inspiration Ninja Warrior is
for so many Australians.
848
00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:28,040
Coming up, the final heat of 2019
reaches its climax
849
00:39:28,120 --> 00:39:30,600
with some of Ninja Warrior's
biggest stars.
850
00:39:30,640 --> 00:39:33,640
This bloke, Tradie Ninja Sam Goodall,
851
00:39:33,720 --> 00:39:36,720
season one's furthest fastest,
Fred Dorrington...
852
00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:39,720
Put your hands together for him,
ladies and gentlemen!
853
00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:42,960
The Disco Ninja, Betsy Burnett,
854
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:45,480
the Modern Mowgli Josh O'Sullivan
855
00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:48,880
and last year's grand finalist
Zed Colback.
856
00:39:56,520 --> 00:39:59,480
The Ninja Warrior who powers
their way furthest and fastest,
857
00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:01,160
outlasting the others,
858
00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:02,760
will be declared the season's winner
859
00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:05,480
and take home $100,000,
860
00:40:05,520 --> 00:40:07,400
thanks to Energizer.
861
00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:16,000
Welcome back to the fifth and final
heat of Australian Ninja Warrior
862
00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:19,680
and the race to secure
a semifinal spot.
863
00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:23,320
While you were away,
Aaron Ottobre saved himself
864
00:40:23,360 --> 00:40:25,120
on the first squirrel
865
00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:27,800
but then lost his grip on the second.
866
00:40:27,880 --> 00:40:32,680
Trick builder Wendy Yong got
all in a flap on the Butterfly Wall.
867
00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:37,800
And returnee Tatyanna Pogonza-Dumas
868
00:40:37,880 --> 00:40:40,520
put up one hell of a fight
on the Rolling Steel.
869
00:40:41,560 --> 00:40:43,800
She's digging deep here.
Dig deep, kid.
870
00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:46,400
Keep it moving, Tatyanna.
Here we go.
871
00:40:46,440 --> 00:40:49,240
Look at this for determination!
872
00:40:49,320 --> 00:40:51,440
But in the end,
her strength gave out.
873
00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:54,200
Coming up now, a real Aussie battler.
874
00:40:54,280 --> 00:40:56,360
We made him a promise
if he came back -
875
00:40:56,440 --> 00:40:59,160
we would honour him
in the high-vis yellow.
876
00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:00,280
And he's back, Bec.
877
00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:02,560
He's one of our absolute favourites.
878
00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:05,440
Here he is in his high-vis,
Sam Goodall.
879
00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:06,640
Come on, Sammy!
880
00:41:06,680 --> 00:41:09,680
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
881
00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:17,680
(YELPS)
882
00:41:18,760 --> 00:41:21,400
Hi, guys. Last time you saw me,
I wasn't doing too well.
883
00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:22,640
I was pretty sick.
884
00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:24,600
I had Ross River virus.
885
00:41:24,680 --> 00:41:27,560
Sam Goodall -
I think he's struggling here.
886
00:41:27,640 --> 00:41:29,480
Hey!
MAN: Are you alright?
887
00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:30,560
Have a rest! Honey!
888
00:41:30,640 --> 00:41:33,880
I'm not quite sure what's going on.
He's buckling at his knees.
889
00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:36,280
FREDDIE: Just looks
absolutely shattered.
890
00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:43,280
SAM: I went home and thought I'd
sort of recover in a couple of weeks
891
00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:45,520
but unfortunately,
with Ross River virus,
892
00:41:45,560 --> 00:41:46,800
it sticks around.
893
00:41:46,880 --> 00:41:49,120
Some days, you really even struggle
to get out of bed.
894
00:41:50,680 --> 00:41:54,200
CHILD: Ready, steady... go!
895
00:41:57,120 --> 00:41:58,560
It's getting a lot better now.
896
00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:00,880
I feel better physically.
897
00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:03,200
I've been getting quicker.
898
00:42:03,280 --> 00:42:05,200
It's a really exciting season,
this one,
899
00:42:05,240 --> 00:42:07,560
and I'm back to take this course on.
900
00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:10,600
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
901
00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:12,760
FREDDIE: Look at that.
He's got me a shirt.
902
00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:14,600
Oh, I'll have that. Give it here.
903
00:42:14,640 --> 00:42:16,560
He's got me a shirt.
904
00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:18,120
It's lovely.
905
00:42:18,200 --> 00:42:20,560
A grand finalist
in season one and two.
906
00:42:20,640 --> 00:42:23,640
Sam's back after a year out
with Ross River fever.
907
00:42:23,720 --> 00:42:26,760
Is it my colour?
How big did you think I was?
908
00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:28,880
I've lost weight.
909
00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:30,240
There's brother-in-law Zed,
910
00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:33,440
who was a grand finalist himself
last year.
911
00:42:33,480 --> 00:42:34,960
He'll be on the course soon.
912
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:36,280
(DING!)
913
00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:37,720
Sam Goodall.
914
00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:40,120
Now, apparently him and Zed
have got a deal.
915
00:42:40,200 --> 00:42:42,040
If they make it up
the Mega Warped Wall tonight,
916
00:42:42,080 --> 00:42:44,360
they're gonna share the $5,000.
917
00:42:44,440 --> 00:42:46,480
He's got to get there first, though,
Ben.
918
00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:49,480
That is one obstacle down
for Sam Goodall.
919
00:42:49,520 --> 00:42:51,200
And now he is on the Butterfly.
920
00:42:51,280 --> 00:42:53,680
Easily. Nice and easy.
Positions his legs.
921
00:42:53,760 --> 00:42:55,960
Misses on the first time.
Don't worry, Sam. Don't worry.
922
00:42:56,000 --> 00:42:57,480
You'll get it next time.
923
00:42:57,520 --> 00:42:59,760
(LAUGHS)
924
00:42:59,840 --> 00:43:02,520
(LAUGHS)
He checks the watch and off he goes.
925
00:43:02,600 --> 00:43:05,600
I've got places to be, he said.
Nicely done.
926
00:43:05,640 --> 00:43:08,480
You're a legend, Sam. Relax! Relax!
927
00:43:08,560 --> 00:43:11,200
Onto the Tuning Forks now.
Got to be light.
928
00:43:11,280 --> 00:43:14,280
Perfect! Absolutely perfect
for Sam Goodall!
929
00:43:14,320 --> 00:43:16,440
So far, so very good.
930
00:43:16,520 --> 00:43:19,080
And even though he took an extra lap
on the Butterfly Wall,
931
00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:22,600
he's only a second outside
Dylan Pawson's time.
932
00:43:22,680 --> 00:43:25,240
I tell you what, he's looking fitter
than last year already.
933
00:43:25,320 --> 00:43:26,880
Last year was a real struggle
for him.
934
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:29,880
And the Rolling Steel done.
935
00:43:29,960 --> 00:43:33,320
Sam turned it around. He's eight
seconds quicker than Dylan now.
936
00:43:33,360 --> 00:43:34,960
He's the furthest fastest.
937
00:43:35,040 --> 00:43:37,840
Up he goes now
on the Double Squirrel.
938
00:43:37,880 --> 00:43:39,360
Squirrel number one.
939
00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:42,360
He starts to kick those knees
and swing those legs.
940
00:43:42,400 --> 00:43:44,680
And we know how tough this bloke is.
941
00:43:46,520 --> 00:43:49,760
Oh! Just clinging on
with fingertips!
942
00:43:49,840 --> 00:43:53,760
Great save. Look at him smiling.
He knows how close that was.
943
00:43:53,800 --> 00:43:56,240
Nearly came undone.
944
00:43:56,320 --> 00:43:59,120
It wouldn't be Sam Goodall
without a bit of a struggle
945
00:43:59,160 --> 00:44:00,680
during his run.
946
00:44:00,760 --> 00:44:03,680
What's he gonna do here?
This is unbelievable, Ben.
947
00:44:03,720 --> 00:44:06,400
His first run back after a year out
948
00:44:06,480 --> 00:44:09,880
and he is one of the quickest
of the night to the double walls.
949
00:44:09,960 --> 00:44:13,280
Remember the deal with Zed -
to share the five grand
950
00:44:13,360 --> 00:44:15,960
if he gets to the top
of the Mega Warped Wall.
951
00:44:16,040 --> 00:44:19,520
It's 5.2m. He's never done one
that big before.
952
00:44:19,600 --> 00:44:22,920
Is he gonna hold up
his side of the bargain?
953
00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:26,400
Oh, he's not sure. He's not sure.
ZED: 100%. Come on.
954
00:44:26,480 --> 00:44:29,520
No, he's undecided. You just saw
that look on his face there.
955
00:44:29,600 --> 00:44:30,800
He's, like, "Oh..."
He's doing it.
956
00:44:30,840 --> 00:44:32,400
He's doing the Mega Warped Wall.
957
00:44:32,440 --> 00:44:34,280
He's gotta put it all on the line.
958
00:44:34,320 --> 00:44:38,560
Mega Warped Wall time. Come on, Sam.
959
00:44:38,600 --> 00:44:40,640
Get on your feet, Australia.
960
00:44:40,680 --> 00:44:42,560
Start yelling in your lounge rooms
961
00:44:42,640 --> 00:44:47,000
and let's catapult Sam Goodall
all the way up the Mega Warped Wall.
962
00:44:47,040 --> 00:44:48,800
Come on! One shot, Sam! Sam!
963
00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:50,400
Let's get him there.
964
00:44:50,480 --> 00:44:52,520
Come on, Sam! Pump those arms!
Here we go.
965
00:44:52,600 --> 00:44:54,640
Ooh... He was a fair way...
Ooh...
966
00:44:54,680 --> 00:44:56,000
Ooh, careful. Careful, careful.
967
00:44:56,080 --> 00:44:58,600
Ooh, he was a fair way
from the top.
968
00:44:58,680 --> 00:45:03,200
Now, the problem here is he can't
now go back to the Warped Wall.
969
00:45:03,280 --> 00:45:05,320
He's got to stay
on the Mega Warped Wall.
970
00:45:05,400 --> 00:45:08,960
He's got two more tries,
two more chances.
971
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:13,600
5.2m. Five grand waiting at the top.
972
00:45:13,640 --> 00:45:16,800
Come on, Sam Goodall.
973
00:45:16,880 --> 00:45:18,880
Beat the wall!
I think he's gonna do it.
974
00:45:18,920 --> 00:45:21,040
I really think he's gonna do it.
975
00:45:21,120 --> 00:45:22,920
Here he goes, here he goes,
here he goes.
976
00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:25,840
Oh, he was closer. He was closer.
One more go for Sam.
977
00:45:25,920 --> 00:45:29,040
Bigger steps.
Sam, bigger steps at the start.
978
00:45:29,080 --> 00:45:30,400
Little ones at the end. Come on.
979
00:45:30,480 --> 00:45:31,880
Zed throwing out
lots of advice there.
980
00:45:31,960 --> 00:45:33,960
But Sam is looking really tired
at this point.
981
00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:36,600
Breathe! Stand up! Oi, breathe!
982
00:45:36,680 --> 00:45:41,760
That's not to say that Sam Goodall
won't blow everyone away right now
983
00:45:41,840 --> 00:45:44,280
on his third attempt
at the Mega Warped Wall.
984
00:45:44,320 --> 00:45:46,800
He's gonna have to really...
985
00:45:46,880 --> 00:45:48,320
Gee...
Ooh!
986
00:45:48,360 --> 00:45:50,520
He gave it his all.
987
00:45:50,600 --> 00:45:53,960
Oh, well done, Sam.
It is great to see you back.
988
00:45:55,640 --> 00:45:57,440
After a great run
through the course,
989
00:45:57,520 --> 00:46:01,480
Sam just didn't have that final kick
in his legs to make it to the top.
990
00:46:01,560 --> 00:46:04,440
He is the third to attempt
the Mega Warped Wall
991
00:46:04,520 --> 00:46:08,560
but Dylan Pawson is still the only
ninja to make it all the way.
992
00:46:09,640 --> 00:46:10,760
Sam, ever so close.
993
00:46:10,840 --> 00:46:13,760
You kept up your side of the bargain
for the Mega Warped Wall.
994
00:46:13,840 --> 00:46:16,480
Zed was cheering you on, but I think
for all the wrong reasons.
995
00:46:16,520 --> 00:46:18,520
He was willing you up that wall
996
00:46:18,600 --> 00:46:20,400
but I think 'cause he wants
half of your cash.
997
00:46:20,440 --> 00:46:21,880
No, sorry, mate.
998
00:46:21,960 --> 00:46:24,160
Look, I'll split the 300
with you later.
999
00:46:24,240 --> 00:46:26,880
And how are you feeling? Are you
over your Ross River fever?
1000
00:46:26,960 --> 00:46:30,400
It's been a rough year. I definitely
was crook for a lot of it.
1001
00:46:30,480 --> 00:46:33,840
But, yeah, feeling strong,
feeling healthy. So, loving it.
1002
00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:36,200
Ladies and gentlemen, Sam Goodall!
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
1003
00:46:36,240 --> 00:46:38,200
What a legend he is, Sam Goodall.
1004
00:46:38,280 --> 00:46:40,000
He didn't make it up
the Mega Warped Wall
1005
00:46:40,040 --> 00:46:42,640
but his time should be good enough.
1006
00:46:42,720 --> 00:46:44,680
Well, our ninjas are going
further and faster
1007
00:46:44,720 --> 00:46:46,240
than in any other heat, Bec,
1008
00:46:46,280 --> 00:46:48,400
so it's gonna go down to the wire.
1009
00:46:48,440 --> 00:46:50,560
And right now in the warm-up gym
1010
00:46:50,640 --> 00:46:54,000
is season one furthest fastest
Fred Dorrington.
1011
00:46:54,080 --> 00:46:56,600
And there's newcomer model
Winson Lam
1012
00:46:56,640 --> 00:46:58,520
doing his final preparations too.
1013
00:46:58,560 --> 00:47:00,640
He's on the course next.
1014
00:47:00,720 --> 00:47:04,000
And still to come,
engineer Benjamin Lau
1015
00:47:04,080 --> 00:47:07,520
uses Excel spreadsheets
to analyse obstacles.
1016
00:47:07,560 --> 00:47:09,080
It's solved!
1017
00:47:09,160 --> 00:47:12,560
Can he crunch the numbers
to get to the semifinals?
1018
00:47:21,920 --> 00:47:23,440
Welcome back to Melbourne
1019
00:47:23,520 --> 00:47:26,960
for the fifth and final heat
of Australian Ninja Warrior.
1020
00:47:27,040 --> 00:47:30,640
Dylan Pawson still leads the way
in the race to the semis.
1021
00:47:30,720 --> 00:47:34,000
He's the only one to make it
to the top of the Mega Warped Wall,
1022
00:47:34,080 --> 00:47:37,840
in the fastest time,
two minutes 19 seconds.
1023
00:47:39,120 --> 00:47:42,400
But on course now
is 26-year-old model Winson Lam,
1024
00:47:42,440 --> 00:47:44,320
who's aiming to change all of that.
1025
00:47:45,480 --> 00:47:48,080
Now, Winson Lam
faced with Tuning Forks.
1026
00:47:48,120 --> 00:47:49,320
Started on the course so well.
1027
00:47:49,400 --> 00:47:53,160
Breezing through the Floating Steps,
breezing through the Butterfly Wall.
1028
00:47:53,240 --> 00:47:55,920
Now, go, go, go, go, mate.
Come on, go, go, go!
1029
00:47:56,000 --> 00:47:57,840
Hang on...
Has he touched the water?
1030
00:47:57,880 --> 00:47:59,640
He's alright.
1031
00:48:01,720 --> 00:48:03,280
Now he's using that core,
1032
00:48:03,360 --> 00:48:06,120
using his legs,
trying to regain his balance.
1033
00:48:06,200 --> 00:48:09,960
Got to get back up here.
Got to be careful.
1034
00:48:11,120 --> 00:48:12,560
He survives.
(CHEERING)
1035
00:48:12,600 --> 00:48:14,960
And Winson's mum goes crazy.
1036
00:48:18,800 --> 00:48:20,040
Rolling Steel.
1037
00:48:20,120 --> 00:48:21,720
He's got the body for it,
that's for sure.
1038
00:48:21,800 --> 00:48:25,040
OK. He's just trying to work out
how this actually works.
1039
00:48:25,080 --> 00:48:27,560
Yeah, you've got it. You got it.
1040
00:48:27,600 --> 00:48:28,800
WOMAN: Let's go!
1041
00:48:28,880 --> 00:48:30,400
He's hardly needing
to move those legs.
1042
00:48:30,440 --> 00:48:31,960
Great technique.
1043
00:48:34,160 --> 00:48:35,840
And that's done.
He's looking better and better.
1044
00:48:35,880 --> 00:48:37,200
Now, though, the Double Squirrels.
1045
00:48:37,280 --> 00:48:42,200
Now, this obstacle has punished
many of our ninjas tonight.
1046
00:48:43,440 --> 00:48:47,280
Winson Lam, in his ripped jeans,
his baseball cap,
1047
00:48:47,360 --> 00:48:50,880
is one obstacle away
from a crack at the Warped Wall.
1048
00:48:52,000 --> 00:48:53,640
(CHEERING)
1049
00:48:53,720 --> 00:48:57,760
Fabulous upper-body strength.
Fabulous core strength.
1050
00:48:57,800 --> 00:48:59,680
Where's this bloke come from?
1051
00:48:59,720 --> 00:49:01,840
PEOPLE: Swing! Swing! Swing!
1052
00:49:01,920 --> 00:49:03,920
Yep.
That is perfect.
1053
00:49:03,960 --> 00:49:06,400
Absolutely sensational.
1054
00:49:06,480 --> 00:49:10,360
His friends and family
are going crazy on the sideline.
1055
00:49:10,440 --> 00:49:12,080
I'm just worried
that they're gonna put him off.
1056
00:49:12,160 --> 00:49:15,120
(CHEERING)
Oh, my god!
1057
00:49:15,200 --> 00:49:19,440
Unbelievable. The model from
Queensland is at the double walls.
1058
00:49:19,480 --> 00:49:20,720
What an incredible heat.
1059
00:49:20,800 --> 00:49:23,120
You've got this, darling.
You've got this.
1060
00:49:23,200 --> 00:49:26,480
Which way is he gonna go, though?
Which way is Winson Lam gonna go?
1061
00:49:26,560 --> 00:49:28,480
PEOPLE: Beat the wall!
Beat the wall!
1062
00:49:28,520 --> 00:49:29,640
Is he going for the Mega?
1063
00:49:29,720 --> 00:49:34,240
Beat the wall! Beat the wall!
Beat the wall! Beat the wall!
1064
00:49:34,320 --> 00:49:37,280
Dylan Pawson is the only ninja
to have made it up tonight.
1065
00:49:37,320 --> 00:49:38,920
Two others have tried and failed.
1066
00:49:38,960 --> 00:49:40,960
Beat the wall! Beat the wall!
1067
00:49:41,040 --> 00:49:43,600
A huge decision.
Look at the concentration.
1068
00:49:43,680 --> 00:49:46,360
Here goes Winson Lam
on the Mega Wall.
1069
00:49:46,440 --> 00:49:48,200
Oh!
Oh, dear!
1070
00:49:48,280 --> 00:49:50,880
He was flying!
Oh, my goodness!
1071
00:49:50,960 --> 00:49:53,400
Let's have a quick look at that
in slow-mo.
1072
00:49:53,480 --> 00:49:56,120
He was flying, literally,
through the air.
1073
00:49:56,200 --> 00:49:59,120
He pushed himself off from the curve
in the wall
1074
00:49:59,160 --> 00:50:01,840
and then he put himself in peril.
1075
00:50:01,880 --> 00:50:04,160
Luckily, the landing was safe.
1076
00:50:04,200 --> 00:50:08,480
And now Winson Lam fronts up
1077
00:50:08,560 --> 00:50:11,560
and starts thinking about
his second attempt.
1078
00:50:11,640 --> 00:50:15,600
Can't go back to the lower wall now.
Remember, he must stay here.
1079
00:50:15,640 --> 00:50:17,440
Here he goes on his second attempt.
1080
00:50:18,400 --> 00:50:20,280
Yes, he does!
He did it!
1081
00:50:20,360 --> 00:50:22,560
Second go!
Whoo!
1082
00:50:22,640 --> 00:50:26,120
Winson Lam blows everyone away!
(CHEERING)
1083
00:50:26,160 --> 00:50:29,560
His family members are going bananas!
1084
00:50:29,640 --> 00:50:32,840
And Winson...
Oh, my goodness!
1085
00:50:32,920 --> 00:50:37,760
And starts to look towards the next
stage of this phenomenal competition,
1086
00:50:37,800 --> 00:50:40,520
bringing up the best of the best.
1087
00:50:40,560 --> 00:50:42,720
And you, sir, are amazing.
1088
00:50:42,800 --> 00:50:45,160
How does that feel?
If feels incredible.
1089
00:50:45,240 --> 00:50:47,360
Got my family here.
It was amazing.
1090
00:50:47,440 --> 00:50:50,880
You're into the semifinals.
A great time. A wonderful effort.
1091
00:50:50,920 --> 00:50:53,880
Ladies and gentlemen, Winson Lam!
1092
00:50:53,920 --> 00:50:56,320
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
1093
00:50:56,400 --> 00:50:59,720
We didn't know what to expect
from model Winson Lam
1094
00:50:59,800 --> 00:51:02,560
but what we got
was an outstanding run.
1095
00:51:02,640 --> 00:51:05,520
He blew us all the way
to become the second ninja
1096
00:51:05,600 --> 00:51:09,840
to make it to the top of the Mega
Warped Wall behind Dylan Pawson.
1097
00:51:10,880 --> 00:51:13,760
I tell you what, he's proved
he's an athlete to be reckoned with.
1098
00:51:13,800 --> 00:51:15,600
Look at those celebrations.
1099
00:51:16,920 --> 00:51:19,520
And look at this next ninja.
1100
00:51:19,600 --> 00:51:23,440
He was furthest fastest
in season one,
1101
00:51:23,520 --> 00:51:26,520
got to stage two of grand finals
last year.
1102
00:51:26,600 --> 00:51:30,720
He's competed in 'UK Ninja Warrior'
and he's one of our very best.
1103
00:51:30,800 --> 00:51:33,920
Here we go.
Superstar Fred Dorrington.
1104
00:51:34,000 --> 00:51:36,480
Come on, Fred.
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
1105
00:51:38,160 --> 00:51:40,560
In the last few years,
Ninja Warrior really has been
1106
00:51:40,600 --> 00:51:42,840
the most significant thing for me.
1107
00:51:42,920 --> 00:51:44,360
He can grip it...
Oh!
1108
00:51:44,400 --> 00:51:45,520
And he does!
1109
00:51:45,600 --> 00:51:48,600
It's been the one thing
I'm putting all my energy towards.
1110
00:51:48,640 --> 00:51:50,440
Fred Dorrington!
1111
00:51:50,520 --> 00:51:54,240
Put your hands together for him,
ladies and gentlemen!
1112
00:51:56,160 --> 00:51:57,160
There he is.
1113
00:51:57,240 --> 00:52:00,480
When I'm competing tonight,
I'm thinking about my dad.
1114
00:52:00,560 --> 00:52:04,560
When I grew up, Dad was always
this really determined guy.
1115
00:52:04,640 --> 00:52:07,040
He started a farm
from complete scratch
1116
00:52:07,120 --> 00:52:09,960
while he still had
a night-shift baking job.
1117
00:52:10,040 --> 00:52:13,840
His determination to get through
things was just always there.
1118
00:52:15,480 --> 00:52:19,240
A few years ago, he was diagnosed
with frontotemporal dementia.
1119
00:52:19,280 --> 00:52:21,680
It's taken so much from us.
1120
00:52:21,760 --> 00:52:24,280
It's really devastated
our whole family.
1121
00:52:24,360 --> 00:52:29,160
I've tried to talk to my dad about
Ninja Warrior when I did season one
1122
00:52:29,200 --> 00:52:30,840
and then I didn't even bother
1123
00:52:30,920 --> 00:52:33,360
talking to him about it
for season two
1124
00:52:33,400 --> 00:52:35,360
because he just can't...
1125
00:52:35,400 --> 00:52:36,800
He just can't understand it.
1126
00:52:36,840 --> 00:52:40,320
He's my main idol. He's my hero.
1127
00:52:40,400 --> 00:52:44,440
He's my dad.
And he knows nothing of it.
1128
00:52:44,480 --> 00:52:46,200
(CRIES)
1129
00:52:46,240 --> 00:52:48,600
Oh, Dad would be so proud of you
1130
00:52:48,680 --> 00:52:51,720
'cause he would've wanted
to do the same thing.
1131
00:52:51,800 --> 00:52:55,520
Took something up and ran with it.
Good man.
1132
00:52:55,600 --> 00:52:58,040
Tonight, it really is an ode
to my dad
1133
00:52:58,120 --> 00:53:01,040
and the upbringing
and the lessons that he taught me -
1134
00:53:01,080 --> 00:53:02,640
you know, just keep going,
1135
00:53:02,720 --> 00:53:05,040
keep working on it
and you'll see the results.
1136
00:53:05,080 --> 00:53:07,000
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
1137
00:53:07,080 --> 00:53:09,200
Well, the last couple of years
have been tough for him,
1138
00:53:09,280 --> 00:53:13,680
his dad battling dementia
and in full-time care.
1139
00:53:13,760 --> 00:53:17,080
(CHEERING)
(DING!)
1140
00:53:17,160 --> 00:53:20,320
But tonight he is focusing
on one thing and one thing only
1141
00:53:20,400 --> 00:53:25,320
and that's beating Dylan Pawson's
time of two minutes 19 seconds.
1142
00:53:27,120 --> 00:53:29,680
Here he is, Fred Dorrington
through the Floating Steps,
1143
00:53:29,720 --> 00:53:31,000
a Ninja Warrior veteran.
1144
00:53:31,080 --> 00:53:34,200
And he's using all that experience
on the Butterfly Wall.
1145
00:53:34,240 --> 00:53:36,200
Look at that. So easy.
1146
00:53:36,280 --> 00:53:38,680
Now obstacle number three,
the Tuning Forks.
1147
00:53:38,760 --> 00:53:41,720
And got to be light on your feet
here. One, two, three...
1148
00:53:41,760 --> 00:53:43,480
Fred Dorrington looking great.
1149
00:53:44,520 --> 00:53:46,360
Not content on just getting round.
1150
00:53:46,440 --> 00:53:51,800
The man wants to be first fastest.
Flying through the course.
1151
00:53:51,880 --> 00:53:55,280
Nearly 30 seconds quicker
than Dylan Pawson at this point.
1152
00:53:55,320 --> 00:53:58,880
Fred Dorrington is stepping it up.
1153
00:53:58,960 --> 00:54:02,680
Pumping the crowd up.
Everyone's excited for Fred.
1154
00:54:02,760 --> 00:54:06,120
He's at the second-last obstacle,
onto the first Double Squirrel.
1155
00:54:06,160 --> 00:54:08,760
Needs the lache to the second now.
1156
00:54:08,800 --> 00:54:10,320
Swing, Fred.
1157
00:54:11,360 --> 00:54:15,480
Now, let's have a look if he can grab
a hold of these handles...
1158
00:54:15,560 --> 00:54:16,680
Yes!
He does!
1159
00:54:16,760 --> 00:54:21,080
Yes! He's been here before.
He knows how this operation works.
1160
00:54:22,120 --> 00:54:25,040
Let's look at the dismount.
Yes, clap of the hands.
1161
00:54:25,120 --> 00:54:27,720
And now surely he'll go
the Mega Warped Wall.
1162
00:54:27,760 --> 00:54:29,400
PEOPLE: Beat the wall!
1163
00:54:29,480 --> 00:54:31,320
Oh, he's not indicating, is he?
No!
1164
00:54:31,400 --> 00:54:33,560
He's going the Mega Warped Wall.
Don't tease us, Fred.
1165
00:54:33,600 --> 00:54:35,640
He was never gonna do that.
1166
00:54:35,720 --> 00:54:37,720
This fella's just got one thing
set in his mind -
1167
00:54:37,800 --> 00:54:40,560
to get to the top
of the Mega Warped Wall.
1168
00:54:40,600 --> 00:54:42,520
Beat the wall! Beat the wall!
1169
00:54:42,600 --> 00:54:47,120
He's decided to go up the big one,
5.25m. Can he do it?
1170
00:54:47,200 --> 00:54:49,720
Ooh!
Oh, he's short!
1171
00:54:51,080 --> 00:54:53,080
I think he's as surprised
as everybody else.
1172
00:54:53,120 --> 00:54:54,680
It may only be an extra metre
1173
00:54:54,760 --> 00:54:57,600
but the angle of it popping out
makes it so much more difficult.
1174
00:54:57,680 --> 00:55:02,720
Fred Dorrington, grand finalist
in season one and two,
1175
00:55:02,800 --> 00:55:06,520
taking on the challenge
of the Mega Warped Wall for $5,000.
1176
00:55:06,600 --> 00:55:09,560
Oh, closer this time!
Fingertips, Freddie, lad!
1177
00:55:09,640 --> 00:55:11,720
Fingertips!
He knows where it is now.
1178
00:55:11,800 --> 00:55:17,160
He's had a taste
and now he's got one more bite.
1179
00:55:17,200 --> 00:55:19,000
Plenty of advice from the sidelines.
1180
00:55:19,080 --> 00:55:20,840
Everyone's an expert
when they're not doing it.
1181
00:55:20,920 --> 00:55:25,320
You're making us nervous, Fred.
You're making us very nervous.
1182
00:55:25,360 --> 00:55:29,000
The clock is ticking big-time.
1183
00:55:29,040 --> 00:55:33,480
Is it going to be third time lucky?
1184
00:55:33,520 --> 00:55:36,800
Here we go.
1185
00:55:36,840 --> 00:55:38,440
Come on, Fred...
1186
00:55:38,520 --> 00:55:40,480
Oh, yes, Fred!
Yes! He's done it!
1187
00:55:40,560 --> 00:55:43,760
He's up the Mega Warped Wall!
Yes, Fred!
1188
00:55:44,840 --> 00:55:48,160
Fireworks go off!
Fred Dorrington's got full pockets!
1189
00:55:48,200 --> 00:55:50,880
Five grand richer.
1190
00:55:50,960 --> 00:55:54,040
Fred, you are back!
Are you better than ever?
1191
00:55:54,120 --> 00:55:56,240
I'm back.
I'm stronger, ready to go.
1192
00:55:56,320 --> 00:55:58,680
That was a bit more of a test
than I was expecting
1193
00:55:58,760 --> 00:56:00,960
but it just goes to show,
don't underestimate anything.
1194
00:56:01,000 --> 00:56:02,000
Whoo!
1195
00:56:02,080 --> 00:56:03,840
Fred, that was
absolutely sensational.
1196
00:56:03,920 --> 00:56:05,680
Congratulations.
Thanks very much. Cheers.
1197
00:56:05,760 --> 00:56:07,240
Thanks very much, everyone!
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
1198
00:56:09,760 --> 00:56:12,880
What about Fred Dorrington,
responding to the pressure,
1199
00:56:12,960 --> 00:56:15,640
upping his game
to be quickest throughout the course.
1200
00:56:15,720 --> 00:56:20,440
But those three attempts at the Mega
Warped Wall took him almost a minute
1201
00:56:20,480 --> 00:56:23,320
and that cost him furthest fastest.
1202
00:56:23,360 --> 00:56:25,880
Fred Dorrington. Fantastic.
1203
00:56:25,960 --> 00:56:28,040
Come here, mate.
(CHEERING)
1204
00:56:29,880 --> 00:56:31,360
You've been here twice before.
1205
00:56:31,440 --> 00:56:34,040
You were going for the five grand
on the Mega Warped Wall.
1206
00:56:34,080 --> 00:56:35,480
Two chances.
1207
00:56:35,560 --> 00:56:38,200
What dragged you up that little bit
further on the last chance?
1208
00:56:38,280 --> 00:56:41,200
I just said to myself, "Look, you're
gonna be kicking yourself for days
1209
00:56:41,240 --> 00:56:42,480
"if you don't grab that ledge.
1210
00:56:42,560 --> 00:56:44,600
"Just channel it in,
focus a bit more."
1211
00:56:44,680 --> 00:56:47,000
You know, hey, we got there.
I wish you luck, Fred.
1212
00:56:47,080 --> 00:56:49,440
Well done, mate. Go and join
your mates. Well done, pal.
1213
00:56:49,520 --> 00:56:52,000
Well, that meant a lot to Fred,
didn't it? Doing it for his dad.
1214
00:56:52,080 --> 00:56:53,800
Yeah that's right.
Loves the old man.
1215
00:56:53,880 --> 00:56:56,560
And also, he's got a tight-knit group
of mates around him,
1216
00:56:56,640 --> 00:56:58,360
giving him all the support
in the world.
1217
00:56:58,440 --> 00:57:01,120
And guess what,
he's our third ninja of the night
1218
00:57:01,160 --> 00:57:02,880
to get up the Mega Warped Wall.
1219
00:57:04,240 --> 00:57:05,560
Looking at the leader board now,
1220
00:57:05,600 --> 00:57:07,040
Dylan Pawson still leads
1221
00:57:07,080 --> 00:57:08,640
by 18 seconds,
1222
00:57:08,680 --> 00:57:10,720
from Fred Dorrington in second.
1223
00:57:10,760 --> 00:57:12,520
Surprise package Winson Lam
1224
00:57:12,560 --> 00:57:13,640
is in fourth
1225
00:57:13,680 --> 00:57:15,280
and golfer Charlie Robbins
1226
00:57:15,320 --> 00:57:16,960
just pushing Tradie Ninja
1227
00:57:17,000 --> 00:57:19,800
Sam Goodall out of the top five.
1228
00:57:20,960 --> 00:57:25,400
Coming up, rock-climber and last
year's grand finalist Zed Colback
1229
00:57:25,440 --> 00:57:26,800
on the course.
1230
00:57:26,880 --> 00:57:30,280
I'm back, here to beat it and get to
the top of Mount Midoriyama.
1231
00:57:30,360 --> 00:57:35,440
I use Excel every day and today
I'm gonna excel on this course.
1232
00:57:35,480 --> 00:57:38,240
Benjamin Lau, the Excel Ninja.
1233
00:57:38,320 --> 00:57:42,400
And later, the Disco Ninja,
Betsy Burnett.
1234
00:57:42,480 --> 00:57:44,800
I'm the shortest ninja
on the course tonight
1235
00:57:44,880 --> 00:57:47,080
and we've got the biggest wall
that we've ever had
1236
00:57:47,120 --> 00:57:48,440
and I'm gonna make it up there.
1237
00:57:53,840 --> 00:57:57,000
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
1238
00:57:57,040 --> 00:57:59,080
Welcome back to Melbourne,
1239
00:57:59,160 --> 00:58:02,320
where the final heat of this year's
Australian Ninja Warrior
1240
00:58:02,400 --> 00:58:05,120
is bringing out the very best
in our competitors.
1241
00:58:05,200 --> 00:58:06,760
Wilson Lam...
Oh, my goodness!
1242
00:58:06,800 --> 00:58:08,680
..blows everyone away!
1243
00:58:08,760 --> 00:58:12,480
Three ninjas have already claimed
$5,000
1244
00:58:12,520 --> 00:58:14,440
at the top of the Mega Warped Wall.
1245
00:58:14,520 --> 00:58:19,280
Dylan Pawson furthest fastest
in two minutes 19.
1246
00:58:19,360 --> 00:58:21,720
Oh, he's done it!
He's there! He's done it!
1247
00:58:21,760 --> 00:58:24,120
Making his assault on that time
1248
00:58:24,200 --> 00:58:27,960
is last year's grand finalist
and Sam Goodall's brother-in-law,
1249
00:58:28,000 --> 00:58:29,960
from WA, Zed Colback.
1250
00:58:30,040 --> 00:58:32,560
Zed's fiancee Nicole
not here tonight.
1251
00:58:32,640 --> 00:58:35,000
Good reason - she's getting ready
for their wedding,
1252
00:58:35,040 --> 00:58:36,400
which is days away, Ben.
1253
00:58:36,440 --> 00:58:38,320
Big things ahead for Zed.
1254
00:58:38,400 --> 00:58:40,840
But right now, he's concentrating
on the Double Squirrel
1255
00:58:40,880 --> 00:58:42,640
and Dylan Pawson's time.
1256
00:58:42,680 --> 00:58:44,160
This will test him, though.
1257
00:58:44,240 --> 00:58:46,680
It's tested some of our great ninjas
tonight.
1258
00:58:46,760 --> 00:58:49,760
PEOPLE: Swing! Swing!
Swing! Swing! Swing!
1259
00:58:49,840 --> 00:58:53,720
It's hard to lock your hands in.
You've got to make the lache...
1260
00:58:53,800 --> 00:58:55,920
Oh, he has, Bec!
He does perfectly.
1261
00:58:56,000 --> 00:58:59,920
He holds it. We've seen many ninjas
unable to hold on tonight.
1262
00:58:59,960 --> 00:59:03,080
Yes! What's he gonna do?
1263
00:59:03,160 --> 00:59:06,840
He's just looked
at the Mega Warped Wall and said,
1264
00:59:06,920 --> 00:59:10,280
"I've never thought 5.2m
would be so tall."
1265
00:59:10,320 --> 00:59:12,680
Yeah, go for the cash, buddy.
1266
00:59:12,760 --> 00:59:14,640
Yeah, Sam saying
go for the Mega Warped Wall.
1267
00:59:14,680 --> 00:59:16,200
These two have done a deal.
1268
00:59:16,280 --> 00:59:19,120
They'll share the $5,000
if one gets to the top.
1269
00:59:19,160 --> 00:59:20,200
Yeah, mate.
1270
00:59:20,280 --> 00:59:22,680
When you get up to it,
it does look a little bit higher.
1271
00:59:22,760 --> 00:59:25,080
It's only a metre.
A metre's massive.
1272
00:59:25,120 --> 00:59:26,320
But the clock's ticking.
1273
00:59:26,400 --> 00:59:29,600
Dylan Pawson's time to beat
is two minutes 19.
1274
00:59:29,680 --> 00:59:33,360
And any moment now,
Zed Colback will find out
1275
00:59:33,440 --> 00:59:38,280
whether he can make it all the way up
the Mega Warped Wall.
1276
00:59:38,360 --> 00:59:39,680
(CHEERING)
He does!
1277
00:59:39,720 --> 00:59:41,040
HOSTS: Zed Colback!
1278
00:59:41,120 --> 00:59:43,480
Wow!
BEC: What a megastar!
1279
00:59:43,560 --> 00:59:46,120
Wow!
You're a megastar!
1280
00:59:46,160 --> 00:59:49,400
Zed Colback is our new leader!
1281
00:59:49,480 --> 00:59:52,000
I think he's liking this.
I think he's loving it.
1282
00:59:53,360 --> 00:59:55,400
How good was that!
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
1283
00:59:56,760 --> 00:59:59,320
Zed becomes our fourth ninja
1284
00:59:59,400 --> 01:00:01,880
to make it to the top
of the Mega Warped Wall.
1285
01:00:01,920 --> 01:00:03,960
That's more than in any other heat.
1286
01:00:04,040 --> 01:00:07,800
He also becomes our new
furthest fastest of the night,
1287
01:00:07,880 --> 01:00:12,320
proving yet again that when the
pressure's on, our ninjas respond.
1288
01:00:12,400 --> 01:00:14,560
Hey, you just won five grand.
Is that a good feeling?
1289
01:00:14,640 --> 01:00:16,720
Oh, man! I've got to share
half of it with Sam.
1290
01:00:16,800 --> 01:00:19,120
We made a deal, so, Sam,
there you go - two and a half.
1291
01:00:19,200 --> 01:00:21,080
Oh, what a champion!
Oh, that's nice!
1292
01:00:21,160 --> 01:00:23,360
Oh, yeah!
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
1293
01:00:25,040 --> 01:00:27,400
There we go.
Oh, wow!
1294
01:00:27,440 --> 01:00:29,560
(LAUGHS)
1295
01:00:29,640 --> 01:00:31,720
I'm just jealous of any hair,
really.
1296
01:00:31,800 --> 01:00:34,280
Thanks, guys.
Go and enjoy it, mate.
1297
01:00:34,360 --> 01:00:37,200
Congratulations.
Let's hear it for Zed Colback!
1298
01:00:37,280 --> 01:00:39,520
Fabulous!
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
1299
01:00:39,600 --> 01:00:41,200
Wow.
Yeah.
1300
01:00:41,280 --> 01:00:43,720
We have seen
some great competitors tonight.
1301
01:00:43,800 --> 01:00:47,800
And we've never seen so many ninjas
up the Mega Warped Wall before.
1302
01:00:47,840 --> 01:00:49,960
Can our next ninja be another one?
1303
01:00:52,400 --> 01:00:55,720
In preparation for this season,
we've been training so much harder.
1304
01:00:55,760 --> 01:00:59,200
This is my third season of Ninja
1305
01:00:59,280 --> 01:01:02,480
and let me just say
that it doesn't get any less scary.
1306
01:01:02,560 --> 01:01:07,080
So here's my goals for this year
on Ninja Warrior season three.
1307
01:01:07,160 --> 01:01:09,960
I would love to make it up
the Warped Wall again.
1308
01:01:12,200 --> 01:01:15,920
This is a moment Betty Burnett
will not forget!
1309
01:01:16,000 --> 01:01:18,360
What a moment
on Australian Ninja Warrior!
1310
01:01:18,440 --> 01:01:20,160
(LAUGHS) Oh!
(PRESSES BUZZER)
1311
01:01:20,200 --> 01:01:21,600
It was kind of good that
1312
01:01:21,680 --> 01:01:25,000
Joshy actually got up there and gave
me a hug 'cause I was so emotional.
1313
01:01:25,040 --> 01:01:26,760
That's all I wanted, so it was good.
1314
01:01:27,960 --> 01:01:31,040
Definitely coming in
with a game plan this year.
1315
01:01:31,120 --> 01:01:34,680
Have a plan for every obstacle
and crush it as much as I can.
1316
01:01:34,720 --> 01:01:36,440
I'm back for season three
1317
01:01:36,520 --> 01:01:39,360
and I'm ready to take it
to the grand final this year.
1318
01:01:40,400 --> 01:01:44,200
Give it up for the Disco Ninja,
Betsy Burnett!
1319
01:01:44,280 --> 01:01:48,480
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
FREDDIE: All 149cm of her.
1320
01:01:48,560 --> 01:01:51,880
Last year, defied the odds
and made it up the Warped Wall.
1321
01:01:51,960 --> 01:01:54,880
Since then, she's taken training
to a whole new level,
1322
01:01:54,960 --> 01:01:56,760
along with her boyfriend
Josh O'Sullivan.
1323
01:01:56,840 --> 01:01:58,840
They've dedicated their lives
to Ninja.
1324
01:01:58,920 --> 01:02:02,000
Is it all worth it?
About to find out.
1325
01:02:02,080 --> 01:02:04,680
(DING!)
It's been a remarkable night.
1326
01:02:04,760 --> 01:02:07,920
How amazing would it be
for 4'11" Betsy
1327
01:02:07,960 --> 01:02:10,280
to make it up the Mega Warped Wall?
1328
01:02:10,360 --> 01:02:14,120
That's a long way ahead of things.
Don't get ahead of yourself, Ben.
1329
01:02:14,200 --> 01:02:16,240
Has to watch
that trailing leg there.
1330
01:02:18,560 --> 01:02:20,920
Yes!
You've got this, Bets.
1331
01:02:20,960 --> 01:02:22,640
And she's through the Floating Steps.
1332
01:02:22,680 --> 01:02:24,840
She's made the semis twice now.
1333
01:02:24,920 --> 01:02:28,000
To do that tonight, she's got to get
past the Double Squirrel.
1334
01:02:28,040 --> 01:02:29,520
FREDDIE: The next question is,
1335
01:02:29,600 --> 01:02:32,680
will she be able to reach
the Butterfly Wall?
1336
01:02:32,720 --> 01:02:35,040
Two metres away from the platform.
1337
01:02:36,320 --> 01:02:38,840
Oh, no...
Oh, yes, Betsy Burnett.
1338
01:02:38,920 --> 01:02:40,720
Just had a little bit of a stutter
towards the end.
1339
01:02:40,760 --> 01:02:42,640
Two-footed jump. But she's through!
1340
01:02:42,720 --> 01:02:46,080
And that is two obstacles down,
Freddie. Four to go.
1341
01:02:46,120 --> 01:02:47,240
She's looking good.
1342
01:02:47,320 --> 01:02:49,080
And now, have a look
at the light feet
1343
01:02:49,160 --> 01:02:52,520
as she skips away
across the Tuning Forks.
1344
01:02:52,600 --> 01:02:54,920
She won't miss this one.
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
1345
01:02:55,000 --> 01:02:56,920
Have a look at that.
Have a look at her.
1346
01:02:57,000 --> 01:02:59,600
Too easy for Betsy Burnett.
Twinkle toes.
1347
01:02:59,640 --> 01:03:00,840
Go, Betsy!
1348
01:03:00,920 --> 01:03:03,680
And I love it how she celebrates
each and every obstacle.
1349
01:03:03,760 --> 01:03:06,760
Betsy moving onto
the Rolling Steel here.
1350
01:03:06,840 --> 01:03:10,320
And her time is looking a little
slow, but all her focus tonight
1351
01:03:10,400 --> 01:03:14,440
is getting through the course
and taking on that Mega Warped Wall.
1352
01:03:14,520 --> 01:03:16,480
She's doing awesome.
Come on, Bets!
1353
01:03:16,520 --> 01:03:19,760
Spin those arms, Betsy Burnett.
1354
01:03:19,840 --> 01:03:23,800
Get the legs helping you.
Oh, yes.
1355
01:03:23,880 --> 01:03:25,160
FREDDIE: Real tough,
but she's moving.
1356
01:03:25,240 --> 01:03:26,960
Using the legs as well,
just for rhythm.
1357
01:03:27,040 --> 01:03:29,480
Keeping it moving. Moving.
She's towards the end.
1358
01:03:29,520 --> 01:03:31,000
Lock it in! Lock it in!
1359
01:03:31,040 --> 01:03:32,840
Now just a safe dismount, Betsy.
1360
01:03:32,920 --> 01:03:36,120
Oh, nice work, Betsy.
Great work, Betsy.
1361
01:03:36,160 --> 01:03:38,840
She is as fit as they come.
1362
01:03:38,880 --> 01:03:40,880
But this is the Double Squirrel.
1363
01:03:40,960 --> 01:03:43,960
Get through this
and she's in the semifinals.
1364
01:03:44,040 --> 01:03:47,360
But Betsy has struggled on the tramp
in the past.
1365
01:03:47,400 --> 01:03:49,120
Just that tramp.
1366
01:03:49,160 --> 01:03:51,040
Yeah, a bit of advice from Josh.
1367
01:03:51,120 --> 01:03:54,360
The leap to the first squirrel - 3m.
That's twice her size.
1368
01:03:54,400 --> 01:03:56,120
She'll need a good bounce.
1369
01:03:56,160 --> 01:03:59,680
Come on, Betsy. You can do this.
1370
01:03:59,720 --> 01:04:01,760
Sucking in the oxygen.
1371
01:04:03,640 --> 01:04:06,000
FREDDIE: Just focusing
on the first of the squirrel jumps.
1372
01:04:06,080 --> 01:04:07,720
Oh...
Oh, no!
1373
01:04:09,120 --> 01:04:12,160
She really misjudged the tramp.
(CHEERING)
1374
01:04:12,240 --> 01:04:14,960
Betsy Burnett comes off
on the Double Squirrels
1375
01:04:15,000 --> 01:04:17,640
and sadly, she won't be in the semis.
1376
01:04:17,680 --> 01:04:21,520
Can you believe it? Such a shock.
1377
01:04:21,560 --> 01:04:24,080
Yeah, the replay shows here
1378
01:04:24,160 --> 01:04:27,080
she just didn't get enough drive
off that trampoline,
1379
01:04:27,160 --> 01:04:30,760
so she was a fair distance off making
the first set of handles.
1380
01:04:30,840 --> 01:04:33,600
And you can see the disappointment
on her face.
1381
01:04:33,680 --> 01:04:36,440
Betsy, you was enjoying yourself
again out there, wasn't you?
1382
01:04:36,520 --> 01:04:39,320
This is the best course that
I've ever been on and I love it.
1383
01:04:39,400 --> 01:04:43,160
Sorry I bombed out on the trampoline
like season one again.
1384
01:04:43,240 --> 01:04:46,320
I wanted to hit the middle
of the trampoline and then look up,
1385
01:04:46,400 --> 01:04:48,160
but just didn't hit it high enough,
I guess.
1386
01:04:48,240 --> 01:04:50,000
Alright, then. Go on.
Go and see Josh.
1387
01:04:50,080 --> 01:04:52,760
Ladies and gentlemen, Betsy Burnett!
Well done, Betsy.
1388
01:04:52,800 --> 01:04:55,560
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
1389
01:04:55,640 --> 01:04:58,920
Betsy gets a consolation hug
from her family.
1390
01:04:58,960 --> 01:05:00,440
She's a crowd favourite, no doubt,
1391
01:05:00,520 --> 01:05:03,560
but she's gonna be really
disappointed with that result.
1392
01:05:03,640 --> 01:05:07,800
Maybe Josh
will have better luck next.
1393
01:05:07,840 --> 01:05:10,520
Coming up after break,
1394
01:05:10,600 --> 01:05:14,000
Betsy's boyfriend, the Modern Mowgli,
Josh O'Sullivan.
1395
01:05:14,080 --> 01:05:16,640
He's ready to make
every second count.
1396
01:05:16,680 --> 01:05:18,680
JOSH: I've focused all of my energy
1397
01:05:18,760 --> 01:05:21,600
on getting to the top
of Mount Midoriyama.
1398
01:05:21,640 --> 01:05:23,960
And will the Excel spreadsheets
1399
01:05:24,040 --> 01:05:26,880
help him chart a course
to the semifinals?
1400
01:05:26,960 --> 01:05:30,440
Our very last competitor
of the heats, Benjamin Lau.
1401
01:05:35,560 --> 01:05:38,680
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
1402
01:05:38,760 --> 01:05:43,280
Welcome back to this record-breaking
night on Australian Ninja Warrior.
1403
01:05:43,360 --> 01:05:45,600
We've had an unprecedented
four ninjas
1404
01:05:45,640 --> 01:05:47,480
up the top of the Mega Warped Wall.
1405
01:05:47,560 --> 01:05:50,840
The battle for the furthest fastest
is fiercer than ever,
1406
01:05:50,920 --> 01:05:56,120
with Zed Colback the new leader
in a time of two minutes 17 seconds.
1407
01:05:56,200 --> 01:06:00,240
Our next ninja on the course is
the Modern Mowgli, Josh O'Sullivan.
1408
01:06:00,320 --> 01:06:03,520
He turned his life around
after a near-fatal accident
1409
01:06:03,600 --> 01:06:08,040
and now has his sights set
on Mount Midoriyama.
1410
01:06:08,120 --> 01:06:11,160
This is your year.
Come on, Josh O'Sullivan!
1411
01:06:11,200 --> 01:06:14,840
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
1412
01:06:14,920 --> 01:06:19,280
When I was 18, I had an accident
when I was at martial arts training.
1413
01:06:19,360 --> 01:06:22,760
So, I was doing jujitsu
and I copped a knock to the head.
1414
01:06:23,800 --> 01:06:27,320
Then that forced me
into an induced coma.
1415
01:06:27,400 --> 01:06:29,240
So, I was in a coma
for about three weeks.
1416
01:06:29,320 --> 01:06:34,280
I had to learn all my basic motor
skills - walking, talking, eating.
1417
01:06:34,360 --> 01:06:36,480
All those sorts of things,
they all had to come back.
1418
01:06:36,560 --> 01:06:40,160
Life changes a lot, spending
that amount of time in hospital,
1419
01:06:40,240 --> 01:06:43,720
so I had to kind of really
pull myself out of a dark place.
1420
01:06:43,800 --> 01:06:47,440
Yeah, I re-evaluated everything
and what things mean to me.
1421
01:06:47,480 --> 01:06:51,000
PEOPLE: Three, two, one, jump!
1422
01:06:51,080 --> 01:06:53,400
I'm alive.
I can enjoy all these things again.
1423
01:06:53,440 --> 01:06:55,600
(EXCLAIMS, LAUGHS)
1424
01:06:56,440 --> 01:07:00,840
Living this journey, I mean, Betsy,
being able to do Ninja together,
1425
01:07:00,920 --> 01:07:04,880
motivate each other,
pursuing our dreams, it's all fun.
1426
01:07:04,920 --> 01:07:06,160
It's been really good.
1427
01:07:06,200 --> 01:07:07,400
I've focused all of my energy
1428
01:07:07,480 --> 01:07:10,160
on getting to the top
of Mount Midoriyama.
1429
01:07:10,240 --> 01:07:12,640
It's definitely
at the top of my list.
1430
01:07:13,680 --> 01:07:17,680
Australia, you wanted a winner and
I'm here to show you it can be done.
1431
01:07:19,560 --> 01:07:21,800
He made the semifinal
in the first season,
1432
01:07:21,880 --> 01:07:27,400
the final stage one in season two
and here he is, season three,
1433
01:07:27,480 --> 01:07:29,960
with all the pressure in the world
on his shoulders.
1434
01:07:30,040 --> 01:07:33,120
He's already seen his girlfriend
Betsy miss out on the semis.
1435
01:07:33,160 --> 01:07:35,000
She came off on the Double Squirrels.
1436
01:07:35,040 --> 01:07:36,320
(DING!)
1437
01:07:36,400 --> 01:07:41,360
Josh has to make sure
that he doesn't meet the same fate.
1438
01:07:41,440 --> 01:07:44,120
Here he goes, just taking his time
on the Floating Steps,
1439
01:07:44,200 --> 01:07:46,880
using both feet,
not wanting to make a mistake.
1440
01:07:46,960 --> 01:07:49,040
Through the first obstacle.
(CHEERING)
1441
01:07:50,040 --> 01:07:51,320
Now the Butterfly Wall.
1442
01:07:51,360 --> 01:07:53,000
Take a run-up!
1443
01:07:53,080 --> 01:07:55,280
He'll have no problems
with the jump here.
1444
01:07:55,320 --> 01:07:57,400
Lands it. And now to the rope.
1445
01:07:57,480 --> 01:08:00,040
Josh O'Sullivan straight through
the Butterfly Wall.
1446
01:08:00,080 --> 01:08:01,240
Whoo!
1447
01:08:01,280 --> 01:08:03,160
Now the deadly Tuning Forks.
1448
01:08:03,240 --> 01:08:05,480
So many ninjas
fallen on this obstacle.
1449
01:08:05,560 --> 01:08:08,160
There he goes. Look at that.
Didn't even move them.
1450
01:08:08,240 --> 01:08:09,560
Perfect footwork!
(CHEERING)
1451
01:08:09,640 --> 01:08:12,920
That's exactly how the Tuning Forks
should be done.
1452
01:08:13,000 --> 01:08:14,880
Have a look at him
on the Rolling Steel.
1453
01:08:14,960 --> 01:08:18,400
We know that he's got
great upper-body strength.
1454
01:08:18,480 --> 01:08:20,720
Josh O'Sullivan.
This means everything to him.
1455
01:08:20,800 --> 01:08:23,920
He's changed every aspect
of his life for Ninja.
1456
01:08:25,800 --> 01:08:27,240
And is it gonna pay off?
1457
01:08:27,280 --> 01:08:28,920
Lock it in! Lock it in!
1458
01:08:29,000 --> 01:08:31,280
I can tell you,
he's flying through this course.
1459
01:08:31,360 --> 01:08:34,560
He's ten seconds quicker
than Zed Colback to this point.
1460
01:08:34,640 --> 01:08:40,560
He's focused, he's strong and he's
got his eyes on furthest fastest.
1461
01:08:40,640 --> 01:08:43,080
But this is where it all went wrong
for Betsy.
1462
01:08:43,160 --> 01:08:46,760
This is where he must get through
to make the semifinal.
1463
01:08:46,800 --> 01:08:48,280
Come on, Josh!
1464
01:08:48,360 --> 01:08:51,440
Whoa!
Oh, look at him get himself moving.
1465
01:08:51,480 --> 01:08:53,440
Don't go too big, big fella.
1466
01:08:53,480 --> 01:08:54,880
Come on, babe!
1467
01:08:54,960 --> 01:08:57,920
Just the dismount now.
Go, go, go!
1468
01:08:59,400 --> 01:09:00,640
Makes it!
1469
01:09:00,720 --> 01:09:02,400
Josh O'Sullivan books his place
in the semifinal.
1470
01:09:03,760 --> 01:09:05,520
And now let's look at the clock.
1471
01:09:05,600 --> 01:09:09,920
Zed Colback did it in two minutes 17
up the Mega Warped Wall, Bec.
1472
01:09:10,000 --> 01:09:11,880
Look at that.
He's got a little bit of time.
1473
01:09:11,960 --> 01:09:15,600
He might squeeze in two shots.
But he's not gonna want to risk it.
1474
01:09:15,680 --> 01:09:19,040
He's gonna want to go up the Mega
Warped Wall on his first attempt.
1475
01:09:19,120 --> 01:09:21,760
Can we have a record-breaking
fifth ninja
1476
01:09:21,800 --> 01:09:23,800
up the Mega Warped Wall tonight?
1477
01:09:23,840 --> 01:09:25,080
Power, babe!
1478
01:09:25,120 --> 01:09:27,280
Really big power!
1479
01:09:27,320 --> 01:09:29,000
Jump on that last step!
1480
01:09:29,080 --> 01:09:30,520
Come on!
First try.
1481
01:09:30,600 --> 01:09:32,720
Josh O'Sullivan,
we're all behind you.
1482
01:09:32,800 --> 01:09:35,280
Five grand is calling!
Yes, he's done it!
1483
01:09:35,360 --> 01:09:38,800
And he won it!
Up the Mega Warped Wall!
1484
01:09:38,880 --> 01:09:40,960
Yes!
(CHEERING)
1485
01:09:41,040 --> 01:09:44,560
How good was that!
So fabulous!
1486
01:09:44,600 --> 01:09:46,280
Whoo!
1487
01:09:46,360 --> 01:09:50,040
Betsy Burnett,
the girlfriend on the sideline!
1488
01:09:50,080 --> 01:09:51,680
Oh, she's just as happy!
1489
01:09:51,720 --> 01:09:54,320
Josh O'Sullivan is the fifth ninja
1490
01:09:54,400 --> 01:09:57,360
on top of the Mega Warped Wall
tonight.
1491
01:09:57,400 --> 01:09:59,520
This is remarkable.
1492
01:09:59,600 --> 01:10:03,480
Josh didn't put a foot wrong through
the course, was fast throughout
1493
01:10:03,560 --> 01:10:07,520
and has ended up six seconds
inside Zed Colback's time.
1494
01:10:07,600 --> 01:10:10,520
He's the new furthest fastest
tonight.
1495
01:10:10,600 --> 01:10:12,920
And there's Betsy.
Hey!
1496
01:10:13,000 --> 01:10:15,280
Betsy Burnett.
Whoo-hoo!
1497
01:10:15,360 --> 01:10:20,520
She may not have made it through
but she's so happy for Josh.
1498
01:10:20,560 --> 01:10:22,680
Was it ever in doubt, Josh?
1499
01:10:22,760 --> 01:10:26,160
This course is 100% mental.
It's all in here.
1500
01:10:26,240 --> 01:10:29,440
You train hard, you put in the work
and it all comes down to the head.
1501
01:10:29,520 --> 01:10:32,120
And how is the big wall,
the Mega Warped Wall?
1502
01:10:32,160 --> 01:10:33,560
Yeah, it's pretty tough.
1503
01:10:33,640 --> 01:10:35,280
It's very big,
very steep at the top,
1504
01:10:35,360 --> 01:10:37,360
so you've really got to jump
for that big leap.
1505
01:10:37,440 --> 01:10:39,840
I came in feeling strong,
so finished on top.
1506
01:10:39,920 --> 01:10:43,440
Betsy, it's fair to say you got a
little bit excited on the sidelines.
1507
01:10:43,520 --> 01:10:44,840
(CHEERING)
How proud are you?
1508
01:10:44,920 --> 01:10:48,520
Oh, my god. That was the most
incredible thing I've ever seen.
1509
01:10:48,560 --> 01:10:49,680
It was so good.
1510
01:10:49,760 --> 01:10:51,440
Ladies and gentlemen,
Josh O'Sullivan!
1511
01:10:51,520 --> 01:10:54,000
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
He is odds-on.
1512
01:10:54,080 --> 01:10:56,560
He's right at the front of the pack.
BEC: Yeah, I know.
1513
01:10:56,640 --> 01:10:58,880
He's got five grand
in his back pocket now.
1514
01:10:58,960 --> 01:11:01,160
But I don't think he cares
about the money so much.
1515
01:11:01,240 --> 01:11:03,960
He wants the glory of going up
Mount Midoriyama.
1516
01:11:04,040 --> 01:11:09,640
But right now, we have our final
ninja in the heats for 2019.
1517
01:11:09,680 --> 01:11:10,720
Come on!
1518
01:11:10,800 --> 01:11:13,640
30-year-old Benjamin Lau
uses Excel spreadsheets
1519
01:11:13,680 --> 01:11:15,800
to analyse ninja obstacles.
1520
01:11:15,880 --> 01:11:18,560
Can he find the right formula
to beat this course?
1521
01:11:18,600 --> 01:11:20,280
The Excel Ninja!
1522
01:11:20,320 --> 01:11:22,960
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
1523
01:11:23,040 --> 01:11:25,600
Big support for the local boy,
Benjamin Lau.
1524
01:11:25,640 --> 01:11:27,120
He's got his dad here.
1525
01:11:27,200 --> 01:11:30,320
He reckons he'll be part
of the secret to his success.
1526
01:11:30,400 --> 01:11:32,000
(DING!)
MAN: Come on!
1527
01:11:33,120 --> 01:11:36,040
He has been dreaming of this moment
for a long time.
1528
01:11:36,080 --> 01:11:37,840
How far can Benjamin go?
1529
01:11:38,880 --> 01:11:41,520
Well, he's going to have to get
at least to the second-last obstacle
1530
01:11:41,600 --> 01:11:44,880
if he's going to have a chance
of making the semis.
1531
01:11:44,960 --> 01:11:47,920
Well, he looks alright here
through the Floating Steps.
1532
01:11:47,960 --> 01:11:49,480
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
1533
01:11:51,280 --> 01:11:52,960
Now just eyeing up
the Butterfly Wall.
1534
01:11:53,040 --> 01:11:56,680
Playing through in his mind
how he's gonna tackle this obstacle.
1535
01:11:56,760 --> 01:11:59,520
Oh, nice and smooth. Look at that!
Easily through!
1536
01:11:59,560 --> 01:12:01,640
Wow! The Excel Ninja.
1537
01:12:01,720 --> 01:12:03,920
You can see his mind ticking over,
Ben.
1538
01:12:04,000 --> 01:12:05,560
He's looking really good,
thinking about everything.
1539
01:12:05,600 --> 01:12:07,880
Oh, look at him weigh it up.
1540
01:12:07,960 --> 01:12:10,200
You're right, he's crunching
the numbers, doing the data...
1541
01:12:10,240 --> 01:12:11,280
Yes!
1542
01:12:11,320 --> 01:12:13,200
And finishes that obstacle with ease.
1543
01:12:13,280 --> 01:12:17,480
He's been so quick through
the first half of this course.
1544
01:12:19,640 --> 01:12:23,200
He knows exactly what he needs
to do, when he needs to do it.
1545
01:12:23,280 --> 01:12:25,320
How's he gonna go
on the Rolling Steel?
1546
01:12:25,400 --> 01:12:28,280
WOMAN: Keep going!
Oh, he's very, very good.
1547
01:12:28,320 --> 01:12:30,000
I don't mean to sound surprised,
1548
01:12:30,080 --> 01:12:32,200
but this is what we love
about this competition -
1549
01:12:32,280 --> 01:12:34,840
the fact that you cannot judge a book
by its cover.
1550
01:12:34,920 --> 01:12:39,360
And all of a sudden,
the Rolling Steel is done and dusted.
1551
01:12:39,440 --> 01:12:43,040
Oh, and his dad
is loving every second of this!
1552
01:12:43,080 --> 01:12:44,560
This is the real test, though.
1553
01:12:44,640 --> 01:12:47,360
He's got to get through the Double
Squirrels to make it to the semis.
1554
01:12:47,440 --> 01:12:50,920
PEOPLE: Swing! Swing!
Swing! Swing! Swing!
1555
01:12:52,120 --> 01:12:54,520
Takes the bounce onto the first.
1556
01:12:54,600 --> 01:12:56,560
WOMAN: Come on, Ben!
Come on, you can do it!
1557
01:12:56,640 --> 01:12:58,560
Look at the control!
Look at the focus!
1558
01:12:58,640 --> 01:13:01,760
You've got to hit the right spot
and hold it!
1559
01:13:01,800 --> 01:13:03,520
And he has no problem with that.
1560
01:13:03,560 --> 01:13:06,360
Now it's all about the dismount.
1561
01:13:06,400 --> 01:13:08,200
PEOPLE: Swing! Swing!
1562
01:13:08,240 --> 01:13:10,160
For a place in the semifinals.
1563
01:13:10,200 --> 01:13:12,280
One more. Come on, come on.
1564
01:13:12,320 --> 01:13:13,600
Yes, yes, yes...
1565
01:13:13,640 --> 01:13:15,080
Oh, yes! Well done, son!
1566
01:13:15,120 --> 01:13:16,760
Oh, Benjamin!
1567
01:13:16,840 --> 01:13:19,280
Oh, I tell you what,
I think we've got a contender here.
1568
01:13:19,320 --> 01:13:21,880
Oh, yes, we have. This is huge.
1569
01:13:21,960 --> 01:13:23,920
The time to beat,
two minutes 11 seconds.
1570
01:13:23,960 --> 01:13:25,320
Beat the wall!
1571
01:13:25,400 --> 01:13:28,320
Will this newcomer
take on the Mega Warped Wall
1572
01:13:28,360 --> 01:13:30,800
or does he want furthest fastest?
1573
01:13:30,880 --> 01:13:32,960
He's going straight up
the Warped Wall!
1574
01:13:33,040 --> 01:13:34,760
There he goes!
(CHEERING)
1575
01:13:36,000 --> 01:13:37,080
Presses the buzzer!
(BUZZ!)
1576
01:13:37,120 --> 01:13:38,160
He's done it!
1577
01:13:38,240 --> 01:13:42,520
Benjamin Lau is the furthest fastest
of the night!
1578
01:13:42,560 --> 01:13:46,040
Wow, wow, wow, Benjamin Lau!
1579
01:13:46,120 --> 01:13:48,760
(CHEERING)
(LAUGHS)
1580
01:13:48,840 --> 01:13:52,560
So, Dad's going absolutely nuts
down on the sideline at the moment.
1581
01:13:52,640 --> 01:13:55,640
Come on, baby, light my fire!
(LAUGHS)
1582
01:13:55,720 --> 01:13:59,120
Hey, Benjamin, that was amazing!
How did that feel?
1583
01:13:59,200 --> 01:14:01,320
Oh, that was incredible.
Heart's racing, but it was fun.
1584
01:14:01,360 --> 01:14:02,520
That was really fun.
1585
01:14:02,600 --> 01:14:05,040
Did you think you'd get up
to the top of the Warped Wall?
1586
01:14:05,080 --> 01:14:06,360
I was hoping. I was hoping.
1587
01:14:06,440 --> 01:14:08,560
So I'm definitely happy
to be up here now.
1588
01:14:08,640 --> 01:14:11,200
You should be happy, because
you're going into the semifinals.
1589
01:14:11,280 --> 01:14:12,800
(CHEERING)
Thank you! Thanks!
1590
01:14:12,880 --> 01:14:15,640
Benjamin Lau, everyone!
(CHEERING)
1591
01:14:15,720 --> 01:14:19,400
And what a dream come true
for the Excel Ninja.
1592
01:14:19,440 --> 01:14:21,840
A perfectly executed run
1593
01:14:21,920 --> 01:14:24,880
that not only delivered him
a semifinal place,
1594
01:14:24,960 --> 01:14:29,640
he also secured his place
as tonight's furthest fastest.
1595
01:14:30,800 --> 01:14:33,000
What a way to finish tonight's heat,
1596
01:14:33,080 --> 01:14:36,160
a heat where five ninjas
made it all the way
1597
01:14:36,240 --> 01:14:41,120
to the top of the Mega Warped Wall
and pocketed $5,000 cash each.
1598
01:14:41,160 --> 01:14:43,320
Absolutely incredible, Ben.
1599
01:14:43,400 --> 01:14:46,240
Let's take a look
at the final leader board.
1600
01:14:46,280 --> 01:14:49,240
So unlucky for newcomers
1601
01:14:49,280 --> 01:14:51,320
dancing dad Paul Agyapong
1602
01:14:51,360 --> 01:14:53,000
and jockey Stephen Baster,
1603
01:14:53,040 --> 01:14:55,280
just missing out on the top 18.
1604
01:14:55,320 --> 01:14:58,680
But Cian Maciejewski finishes in 17.
1605
01:14:58,720 --> 01:15:00,800
Sam Goodall couldn't quite make it
1606
01:15:00,840 --> 01:15:02,280
up the Mega Warped Wall
1607
01:15:02,320 --> 01:15:03,640
but he's through to the semis
1608
01:15:03,680 --> 01:15:04,920
in 11th.
1609
01:15:04,960 --> 01:15:05,960
And would you believe it,
1610
01:15:06,000 --> 01:15:07,400
golfer Charlie Robbins
1611
01:15:07,440 --> 01:15:08,800
finishes in ninth,
1612
01:15:08,840 --> 01:15:10,320
just behind fellow newcomers
1613
01:15:10,360 --> 01:15:12,720
Winson Lam and Max Pertzel.
1614
01:15:12,760 --> 01:15:14,960
And in the top five, Fred Dorrington,
1615
01:15:15,000 --> 01:15:17,280
Dylan Pawson, Zed Colback
1616
01:15:17,320 --> 01:15:18,920
and Josh O'Sullivan.
1617
01:15:19,000 --> 01:15:20,840
They all made it
up the Mega Warped Wall
1618
01:15:20,880 --> 01:15:22,880
but it cost them precious seconds,
1619
01:15:22,920 --> 01:15:24,640
meaning the surprise package,
1620
01:15:24,680 --> 01:15:27,080
Benjamin Lau, the Excel Ninja,
1621
01:15:27,120 --> 01:15:29,120
is our furthest fastest.
1622
01:15:29,200 --> 01:15:32,560
He made all his Ninja Warrior dreams
come true
1623
01:15:32,640 --> 01:15:36,280
with a magnificent performance
of intelligence, speed and skill,
1624
01:15:36,360 --> 01:15:39,480
on his way to record
the night's fastest time.
1625
01:15:39,520 --> 01:15:41,680
Congratulations, Benjamin.
1626
01:15:43,000 --> 01:15:44,600
You can't fail to be impressed
1627
01:15:44,680 --> 01:15:47,760
with some of the most amazing
performances we've seen tonight.
1628
01:15:47,840 --> 01:15:50,920
We now have our line-up locked in
for the semifinals.
1629
01:15:50,960 --> 01:15:52,880
And they start on Sunday,
1630
01:15:52,960 --> 01:15:56,000
when the action continues
on Australian Ninja Warrior.
1631
01:15:56,080 --> 01:15:57,480
Goodnight.
Goodnight.
1632
01:15:57,520 --> 01:16:00,520
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
1633
01:16:00,560 --> 01:16:03,560
Next week, it's the semifinals.
1634
01:16:03,600 --> 01:16:05,720
Over three epic nights,
1635
01:16:05,800 --> 01:16:12,000
the best of the best will fight it
out for a place in the grand final.
1636
01:16:12,040 --> 01:16:13,040
Heats are done.
1637
01:16:13,120 --> 01:16:15,480
Going through to the grand final.
You watch.
1638
01:16:15,560 --> 01:16:20,760
The course is 50% longer
and 100% tougher.
1639
01:16:20,800 --> 01:16:23,080
Both new and returning ninjas
1640
01:16:23,160 --> 01:16:25,960
will have to push beyond their limits
to conquer it...
1641
01:16:26,000 --> 01:16:27,400
No way I'm splashing out.
1642
01:16:27,440 --> 01:16:28,600
I'm hitting that buzzer.
1643
01:16:28,680 --> 01:16:31,760
..before the biggest showdown
in Ninja Warrior history -
1644
01:16:31,800 --> 01:16:33,720
'Flashlin' Ashlin Herbert
1645
01:16:33,760 --> 01:16:35,680
up against the Barefoot Ninja.
1646
01:16:35,760 --> 01:16:37,440
Ashlin's been
saying that I'm the one to watch.
1647
01:16:37,480 --> 01:16:39,680
Hopefully I can prove him right.
1648
01:16:39,760 --> 01:16:45,000
With the grand final and a guaranteed
$100,000 within reach,
1649
01:16:45,080 --> 01:16:49,800
who will have what it takes to become
Australia's first Ninja Warrior?
