00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:03,440
MAN: Australia has never seen
anything like it.

(COMMENTATORS GROAN)
3
00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:10,000
The world's toughest obstacle course
has tamed all but the very best.
4
00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:12,680
WOMAN: What an impressive run!
5
00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:14,800
MAN: He is on top of the world!
6
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:20,360
And now in the semifinals,
the course is longer and harder.
7
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:22,600
(COMMENTATORS GROAN)
8
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:24,960
WOMAN: Oh!
9
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:29,320
Tonight in the second
of three semifinals,
10
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:32,040
30 competitors take their chance.
11
00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:36,120
Among them - rock-climbing brothers
Lee and Ben Cossey.
12
00:00:36,160 --> 00:00:38,320
To be here is just such a privilege.
13
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:40,640
Lee's partner, Andrea Hah,
14
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:43,720
looks to become the first woman
up the warped wall.
15
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:46,200
And ex-commando Scott Evennett,
16
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:48,600
for whom defeat is not an option.
17
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:49,880
Challenge accepted.
18
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:55,240
Only seven can qualify
for the grand final
19
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:58,240
and a possible shot
at Mount Midoriyama.
20
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:00,600
As the search continues...
21
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:04,760
for Australia's first Ninja Warrior.
22
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:10,360
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
23
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:13,360
Hello. I'm Rebecca Maddern.
24
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:14,520
I'm Ben Fordham.
25
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:15,640
And I'm Freddie Flintoff.
26
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:19,840
And welcome to the semifinals
of Australian Ninja Warrior.
27
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:23,160
Our ninjas think they know
what's around the corner.
28
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:25,720
Well, ninjas, time for a rethink.
29
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:26,880
The heats are one thing,
30
00:01:26,960 --> 00:01:30,040
but the semifinals are
a completely different beast.
31
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:33,360
No doubt about that.
The course is longer. It's tougher.
32
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:36,800
And it's designed to test every
aspect of their physical ability,
33
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:40,040
so only the best of the best
make it to the finals
34
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:41,480
and have the opportunity
35
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:44,240
of facing the biggest physical
challenge of them all -
36
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:45,560
Mount Midoriyama.
37
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:47,640
Now, Freddie Flintoff,
you take everyone through
38
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:49,680
who you're gonna be keeping
a close eye on tonight.
39
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:51,840
Well, Ben, our Blue Mountain
rock-climbers
40
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:53,840
brothers Ben and Lee Cossey,
41
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:55,960
and Lee's girlfriend, Andrea Hah.
42
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:59,640
Now, this course takes
mental and physical tenacity,
43
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:02,040
and rock-climbers,
they've got spades of that.
44
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:03,360
So I've got high hopes for them.
45
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:05,520
And don't forget about
Georgia Bonora.
46
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:07,320
The spotlight is on her as well.
47
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:10,320
So let's take a look at the
obstacles they will have to conquer.
48
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:14,920
It's the semifinals, so we've added
two new killer obstacles
49
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,920
as the world's toughest course
gets even tougher.
50
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:21,400
First, it's the always-tricky
quintuple steps.
51
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,520
On the log grip, our ninjas
will need to hold on tight.
52
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:28,800
The spinning log returns,
53
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,760
and just one foot wrong,
and you're taking a bath.
54
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:33,320
On the jump hang,
55
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:35,520
it's a massive leap onto a cargo net
56
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,000
before they climb their way
to the other side.
57
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:40,760
Touch the water and it's game over.
58
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:43,200
And in tonight's semifinal,
59
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:48,800
we up the ante with a brand-new
obstacle - the punishing bungee road.
60
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:52,080
The ninjas will negotiate
four sets of hanging rope
61
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,880
made out of authentic
bungee cord material,
62
00:02:54,920 --> 00:02:56,640
before they swing onto the pipe -
63
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:59,840
and by this point,
their arms will be crying for mercy.
64
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:02,560
From there, it's down to the mat
65
00:03:02,640 --> 00:03:06,480
where they'll be greeted
by their old foe, the warped wall.
66
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:10,040
During the heats,
this was the final obstacle.
67
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,080
But we are now in the semis,
68
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:14,520
which means
our ninjas must brace themselves
69
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:19,080
for yet another brutal
new obstacle - the flying shelf.
70
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:22,520
Putting their core strength
to the ultimate test,
71
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:24,400
they'll leap between
the two shelves,
72
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:28,040
and then it's all about timing
for that final swing
73
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:32,240
as the landing platform
is a mighty 3.5m away.
74
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,320
Next, it's the pole grasper...
75
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,840
before the final 7m chimney climb.
76
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:43,160
If you score one of
the fastest seven times tonight,
77
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:45,640
you're on your way
to the grand final.
78
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:53,560
Our first ninja to tackle
the semifinals course tonight
79
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:55,960
is this man, Nathaniel Irving.
80
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:59,280
And his big brother Jayden
is also in the semis tonight,
81
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:04,760
so for Team Irving, this competition
is very much a family affair.
82
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,400
NATHANIEL: To make the semifinals
is obviously a big thing for me.
83
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:12,000
Even more, the fact that my brother
actually got through.
84
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:16,880
We have such a good bond
and such a good brotherly love.
85
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:18,240
I'm still on your team.
86
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,160
Support's one of the biggest things
you can have in life.
87
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:23,400
Mum, Dad's gonna be there.
88
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:24,840
And my nanna.
89
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:26,400
Will we see you on the course
next year?
90
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:29,640
No.
Oh, come on! Come on.
91
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:31,640
No, thank you.
92
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:34,560
I swear to god, she is mine
and my brother's biggest fan.
93
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:36,160
Back the other way,
back the other way.
94
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:38,000
You're so strong!
95
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:40,760
I've done a lot to be here.
96
00:04:40,840 --> 00:04:44,000
When I was nine, I actually got
diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
97
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,840
It's where you have...
ah, I had a tumour in my neck.
98
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:50,360
I've beaten plenty of obstacles
that have been in my way.
99
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:52,640
But to me, they're nothing.
100
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:54,320
I want to absolutely smash
this competition.

00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:57,200
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
102
00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:58,440
BEN FORDHAM: Now, during his heat,
103
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:01,200
Nathaniel crashed out
on the fourth obstacle,
104
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:03,080
so he'll be looking to make amends.
105
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:04,160
REBECCA MADDERN: And Ben,
as you'd expect
106
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:06,000
with such a tight-knit family,
there they are -
107
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:08,960
brother Jayden and all the Irvings
are there on the side-line,
108
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:11,040
and, of course, the biggest fan -
nanna!
109
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,440
She's in the audience tonight.
(COUNTDOWN TIMER)
110
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:15,400
MAN: You've got this, brother.
111
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:17,200
So here he goes, Nathaniel Irving,
112
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,600
the first runner of semifinals two.
113
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:21,080
MAN: Yeah, boy!
114
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,240
Easily across the quintuple steps.
115
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:24,960
And he's done that before.
Alright.
116
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:27,560
But he won't have come across
the log grip.
117
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:29,080
That's it.
118
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:32,480
Bam, bam, thank you, ma'am.
Off we go.
119
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:35,760
Spinning log now.
Keep working!
120
00:05:35,840 --> 00:05:38,560
Now, this was one of the newer
features of the semifinals course,
121
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:40,640
and for Nathaniel,
he really needs...
122
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:42,120
(COMMENTATORS GROAN)
123
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:46,040
Whoops.
Oh, what heartbreak for Nathaniel.
124
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:49,720
Just goes to show you
how intense these semis are.
125
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,480
This is the most unforgiving
obstacle.
126
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:55,560
You need to stay dead centre,
127
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:58,520
but Nathaniel's second step
slid off to the right,
128
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:00,240
starting the log spinning,
129
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:03,000
and he was never going to
regain balance from there.
130
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:04,960
It's a tough lesson to learn.
131
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:06,600
No second chances.
132
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:10,880
Boy!
Thank you.
133
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:12,160
You did good, buddy.
134
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:14,400
MAN: Any advice?
The first step -
135
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:15,920
just make sure it's dead straight.
136
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,240
REBECCA MADDERN: And as Nathaniel
gives some last-minute tips
137
00:06:18,280 --> 00:06:19,560
to his brother, Jayden.
138
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:21,680
Next up -
139
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:25,320
he is one of the competition's
most formidable contenders,

00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:28,920

My name's Scott Evennett,

and I'm a former Special Forces
soldier.
144
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:39,680
Everyone had pretty high
expectations of how I'd go through,
145
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:42,120
seeing what I do for training and
what I would've done in the past.
146
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:45,880
So when I was on my third attempt
for that warped wall...

(TENSE MUSIC)
148
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:52,960
Definitely I felt like
the dream was slipping away.
149
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:55,560
BEN FORDHAM: Scott Evennett -
this is the moment.
150
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:58,680
But being a Special Forces soldier,
151
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:00,440
there is no mission failure.
152
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:03,160

He's there! He's done it!

You beauty!
154
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:06,960
After that button was hit,
155
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:09,240
I just looked over
at my family and friends.
156
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:11,440
Seeing their reaction,
it made you all a bit teary.
157
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:13,120
For Ninja Warrior,
158
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:16,680
Scotty's gonna go at it as hard
as he can and as fast as he can,
159
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:17,760
because that's who he is.
160
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:19,280
You've just gotta hang on
for the ride.
161
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:22,880
SCOTT: My motto for life is -
challenge accepted.
162
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:27,040
So for the semifinals of Australian
Ninja Warrior, challenge accepted.

(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

BEN FORDHAM: Now, although Scott
did successfully finish the course
166
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:38,240
with a sixth place in his heat,
167
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:40,720
it was the warped wall
where he really struggled.
168
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:42,760
He needed to use all three attempts
169
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:43,920
to climb over it.
170
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,680
Tonight, he'll not only
have to conquer the warped wall,
171
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:50,200
but then he'll still have three
more obstacle to try to overcome

if he wants to get to the top seven

00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:53,760
tonight.
(COUNTDOWN TIMER)
174
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:55,800
REBECCA MADDERN:
Look at the body on Scott.
175
00:07:55,840 --> 00:08:00,520
85 kilos, 170m - 170cm tall.
176
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:04,080
I can't even speak!
He looks like a 170m tall, no worry.
177
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:06,240
This guy is incredible.
Holy... Jesus.
178
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:07,560
How is his physique?
179
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:10,800
I don't think the log grip
is gonna survive after his grip.
180
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:12,320
There you go.
Well done, Scott.
181
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:14,000
Spinning log next.
182
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:16,440
Tricky for a big unit like Scott.
183
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:19,200
Straight across this pole - oh!
184
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:21,360
Oh, that's gotta have hurt.
185
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:24,320
But this bloke's bullet-proof.
WOMAN: Go, Scotty!
186
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:25,840
Jump hang now.
187
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:28,600
Let's go down to Freddie, with
a closer view from the side-lines.
188
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:30,880
WOMAN: Yeah, nice jump.
FREDDIE: He's not taking his time.
189
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:34,360
He's in a rush here
as he scrambles onto the cargo net.
190
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:39,320
You'd imagine he's been on
so many cargo nets as a commando.
191
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:40,760
But look at him, look at his abs.
192
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:42,080
His abs are just popping out.
193
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:44,080
I've never seen anything like it.
194
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:46,160
He's to watch his shoulders, though.
195
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:48,080
His shoulders are getting
a little bit close to the water.
196
00:08:48,680 --> 00:08:50,280
You've got this.
WOMAN: Come on, Scotty!
197
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:51,640
FREDDIE FLINTOFF: There he goes.
198
00:08:51,680 --> 00:08:53,280
Wow.
199
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:54,640
REBECCA MADDERN: Now Scott
won't have faced
200
00:08:54,680 --> 00:08:57,000
anything like this next obstacle.
201
00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:58,640
It's called bungee road.
202
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:02,640
This section is designed to smash
your grip strength and forearms.
203
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:06,160
BEN FORDHAM: Well, he's got
the bungees in the right place.
204
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:08,240
Too low and they bounce too much.
205
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:10,000
Too high and they don't swing.
206
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:12,400
And he needs that
to bridge the gap here.
207
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:15,120
(CHEERING, REBECCA GASPS)
Oh, yes!
208
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:16,160
ALL: Yes!
209
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:17,560
Now, onto the pipe.
210
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:20,080
The hard part is he has to climb up.
211
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:23,160
Have a look at the strain
on those forearms.
212
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:24,200
WOMAN: Awesome!
213
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:26,400
Can he do it?
214
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:28,880
Oh, he's done it!
215
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,840
WOMAN: Good job!
But now, Ben Fordham, the wall.
216
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,640
He's only short - 5 foot 7 -
217
00:09:34,680 --> 00:09:36,480
so this is a real challenge.
218
00:09:36,560 --> 00:09:40,800
Remember, he's failed here
twice in the heat.
219
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:44,000
AUDIENCE: Beat the wall!
Beat the wall!
220
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:45,640
BEN FORDHAM: Scott Evennett!
221
00:09:45,680 --> 00:09:47,400
And he's done it!
222
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:49,520
He's got a finger, he's got a hand.
223
00:09:49,560 --> 00:09:50,720
And he's up.
224
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:54,440
Jumping up and down
on the side-lines.
225
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:57,840
His fiancee Tamara
is beside herself.
226
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:01,440
Now the heats ended
at the warped wall
227
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:02,760
but this is the semis.
228
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:05,040
There are
still three more obstacles,
229
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:07,240
starting with the flying shelf.
230
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:08,560
How's he going, Freddie?
231
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:10,600
FREDDIE FLINTOFF: I've gotta tell
ya, I'm stood down here.
232
00:10:10,680 --> 00:10:13,520
I've got a first-hand view
of this obstacle.
233
00:10:13,560 --> 00:10:15,520
And this looks tough.
234
00:10:15,560 --> 00:10:17,360
This is not for the faint-hearted.
235
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:19,640
This is not for people
who doubt themselves.
236
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:23,480
This isn't for people who haven't
got the strength in their arms,
237
00:10:23,560 --> 00:10:26,360
in their fingers,
in their entire body.
238
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:29,200
Now he just has to get those legs
going.
239
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:31,560
Good job, babe.
240
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:33,600
He's hanging by those fingertips.
241
00:10:33,680 --> 00:10:36,800
Can he hold himself? He does.
(GIRLFRIEND WHOOPS)
242
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:38,840
But now he's gotta reach the mat.
243
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:41,480
It's more than 3m away.
244
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:43,160
Big one...
245
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:46,120
Oh no!
(BUZZER)
246
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:49,240
That was the most spectacular
fly through the air
247
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:50,960
but he didn't make the mat.
248
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:52,240
Good one, babe!
249
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:56,440
Scott was more paratrooper
than commando
250
00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:58,080
getting between the two shelves,
251
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:00,240
but he rushed his dismount.
252
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:03,120
He needed one more swing
to make the distance.
253
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:07,360
As it was, he came crashing to earth
in the most spectacular fashion.
254
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:10,400
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
255
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:13,800
Well done, mate.
ALL: Well done, Scotty!
256
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:16,280
Scott, you was flying
through the course.
257
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:19,800
You was exactly the same time
on the top of the warped wall
258
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:20,960
as in the heats.
259
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:22,720
It was going ever so well.
260
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:24,280
Unfortunately,
it wasn't to be tonight,
261
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:26,720
but I'm sure, we're gonna
see you again, aren't we?
262
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:29,160
Oh, for sure. 100%. Thanks, guys.
263
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:31,680
BEN FORDHAM: Bad luck, Scotty.
264
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:33,280
But he's not out of the running
just yet.
265
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:35,640
Depending on how many others
finish the course
266
00:11:35,680 --> 00:11:37,320
and how fast they go,
267
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:39,800
Scott may hang on
into that top seven.
268
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:42,680
REBECCA MADDERN: But now,
over in the warm-up gym,
269
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:45,160
is our dual Olympian,
Georgia Bonora.
270
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:48,520
And to support her tonight
is fellow Olympian Larrissa Miller,
271
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:50,600
who's down on the side-lines
with Freddie.
272
00:11:50,680 --> 00:11:53,040
Larrissa, you're here tonight
supporting your mate, aren't you?
273
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:54,000
Yeah, I am.
274
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:56,440
Like, unfortunately I didn't make it
through to the semifinals,
275
00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:57,880
but I'm here supporting Georgia
tonight
276
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:00,160
and I'm so, so excited
and I'm so proud of her.
277
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:02,360
I'm just... yeah,
I'm really excited to watch.
278
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:05,280
And what words of wisdom have you
passed on to your mate tonight?
279
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:09,400
I think she just needs to, like,
have fun and believe in herself
280
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:10,640
because she is capable of this.
281
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:13,800
She's just super nervous
but I know that she can do it.
282
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:15,680
We're all hoping
that she'll get up there.
283
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:16,960
Larrissa, lovely to speak to ya.
284
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:18,800
You go over there
and support your mate,
285
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:21,320
like everyone in this crowd will be
tonight. Thank you so much.
286
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:25,200
BEN FORDHAM: Still to come -
287
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:27,920
his brother crashed out
early in the course...
288
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:33,880
and now stuntman Jayden is
ready to avenge Nathaniel's loss.
289
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:36,240
You're going to see an Irving
win this competition.
290
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:40,040
Plus - can all four ninja climbers
make it to the grand final?
291
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:41,960

292
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,120
But tonight, give me all you got.

00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:46,360
REBECCA MADDERN:
But straight after the break -
294
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:49,120
it's dual Olympic gymnast
Georgia Bonora,
295
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:52,640
as she flies the flag
for our female Ninja Warrior.
296
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:56,480
The further it's taking me
the more I wanna win.
297
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:04,920
REBECCA MADDERN: Welcome back
to the second semifinal
298
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:06,480
of Australian Ninja Warrior.
299
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:08,480
30 ninjas in action tonight,
300
00:13:08,560 --> 00:13:11,520
but only seven can make it through
to the grand final.
301
00:13:11,560 --> 00:13:13,320
Who will survive?
302
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:18,200
Next up, it's time for dual Olympic
gymnast Georgia Bonora.
303
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:22,120
During her heat, Georgia fell short
at the second last obstacle
304
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:24,640
where she eventually finished 13th.
305
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:26,640
She'll be looking to go further
tonight.
306
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:31,640
My heat didn't exactly go to plan
307
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:34,640
as I kind of slipped on the ball.
308
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:38,280
That's basically what I said as I
was falling into the water - balls.

00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:46,560
I just washed my hair so I don't
wanna have to do that again.

For the semis, I have my best friend
Larrissa supporting me.

We were in the same team
in the Olympics in London.
317
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:59,120
Just knowing that she's there,
cheering me on -
318
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:00,640
yeah, it means the world.
319
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:02,880
Feel like I've got it in me
320
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:05,160
to be the first female
Australian Ninja Warrior.
321
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:08,240
The further it's taking me
past the heats -
322
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:09,320
now I'm into the semis -
323
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:11,320
the more I wanna win.
324
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:14,480
I'm definitely thinking about
the finals.
325
00:14:14,560 --> 00:14:17,200
I'm definitely thinking about
Mount Midoriyama.
326
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:18,320
I'm ready to go.
327
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:20,240
I'm ready to take on Ninja Warrior.

BEN FORDHAM: Nerves aplenty.
330

Only the top seven finishers,
male or female,
331
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:29,560
make it to the grand final.

much calmer on the side-line...

as we get ready for Georgia,
334

who is 5 foot 4 and 55kg
of pure Olympic athleticism.

very long way to go on this course.

00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:58,800
Come on!
She is on the smaller side
343
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:01,960
so she's gonna need
plenty of inner thigh strength
344
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:05,760
to wrap her whole body
around the log grip.
345
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:08,600
She can't just rely on her arms...
Oh...
346
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:11,680
..and she rode those bumps,
one, two, quite nicely.
347
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:12,760
Well done, Georgia.
348
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:16,520
Now although she's
a gold medal-winning gymnast,
349
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:21,160
the spinning log is narrower than
the balance beam that she's used to.
350
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:24,680
Oh!
So close!
351
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:27,600
But Georgia - she's recovered!
Well done.
352
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:31,080
Had to catch my breath on that one,
Ben.
353
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:32,280
Yeah, nail-biting stuff.
354
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:34,800
As she now prepares
for the jump hang,
355
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:36,680
and with all of her
Olympic experience,
356
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:38,920
she should be in her element here.
357
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:41,360
MAN: Big jump.
You've got it, George.
358
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:43,760
LARRISSA: Fly!
359
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:45,520
Yes!
Oh, she's missed it.
360
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:47,000
Spoke too soon.
361
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:50,080
She got her hand on the net
but couldn't hang on.
362
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:52,840
Oh, no.
363
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:58,280
Georgia seemed to focus on
the distance to the net.
364
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:00,640
She didn't get a lot of height
off the trampoline,
365
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:03,440
so she was falling
when she tried to grab on.
366
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:05,400
She just missed her hold,
367
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:07,120
and her night is over.
368
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:12,360
Georgia, you had
an unbelievable save on the log.
369
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:13,800
And then on the cargo net,
370
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:17,160
you just got your fingertips onto
the cargo net but couldn't cling on.
371
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:21,720
GEORGIA: Oh! I feel like I bounced
the way, all the way across.
372
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:24,720
But, yeah. Ah, I'm all wet.
373
00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:25,760
(ALL LAUGH)
374
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:29,240
Oh, good to see the water hasn't
dampened her sense of humour.
375
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:31,480
Nonetheless, a good effort there
by Georgia Bonora.
376
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:32,920
Mwah!
That net.
377
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:35,040
Good try.
What is that?
378
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:36,640
I wasn't even...
(LAUGHS)
379
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:39,520
..I wasn't even really worried
about that one.
380
00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:43,800
REBECCA MADDERN:
Now time to write a new chapter
381
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:46,400
in one of the biggest stories
from the heats.
382
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:48,840
Four of Australia's
top rock-climbers
383
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:50,680
live just outside Sydney.
384
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:54,680
Tom O'Halloran,
brothers Lee and Ben Cossey,
385
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:55,840
and Andrea Hah
386
00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:57,920
all qualified for tonight's semi,
387
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:01,720
and all will compete for a place
in the grand final.
388
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:05,560
BEN FORDHAM:
First up, it's Ben Cossey.
389
00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:11,000
Ben showed us why rock-climbers
do so well on Ninja Warrior.
390
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:12,720
Finished third in his heat.
391
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:15,480
Can he climb his way to the finals?
392
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:17,520
Ben Cossey!
393
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:19,680
I'm like a lean, powerful,
394
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:21,520
aggressive, obstacle-crushing...
395
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:24,360
machine!
396
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:28,360
My brother Lee and I
are both rock-climbers.
397
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:31,120
I think we approach climbing
in a slightly different way.
398
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:32,920
I'm probably a bit more like...
399
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:36,240
And he's... (LAUGHS) ..he's a bit
more, yeah, reserved or whatever.
400
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:37,640
Give us a ridgy-didge.
401
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:39,680
(LAUGHS)
402
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:43,600
I think our approach to climbing
transferred onto the course.
403
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:46,640
Oh, look at that!
Oh, hang on a minute!
404
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:48,360
He was resting,
looked more calculated,
405
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:50,240
where I was a bit more carnage.
406
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:54,960
The Cossey brothers...
These guys are something special.
407
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:58,720
Two brothers through
to the semifinals!
408
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:00,760
Round one, it was just a warm-up.
409
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:03,280
But tonight, give me all you've got.
410
00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:06,880
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
411
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:08,880
And there they are,
412
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:11,440
two of Ben's rock-climbing teammates
supporting him.
413
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:13,680
They all want to see him
conquer this course.
414
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:15,920
And that's what this competition
is all about -
415
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:18,640
man or woman versus course.
416
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:19,680
Come on, Ben!
417
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:21,920
(COUNTDOWN TIMER)
418
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:24,320
REBECCA MADDERN: He's so calm.
He's so unassuming.
419
00:18:24,360 --> 00:18:25,440
And a natural.
420
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:26,600
I mean, he's the kind of guy who,
421
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:30,200
if you looked at him walking down
the street, you wouldn't think, OK,
422
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:32,280
this is gonna be one of
the fittest blokes in the country.
423
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:33,680
But, ladies and gentlemen,
424
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:36,160
this man is one of the fittest people
in Australia.
425
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:39,400
Spinning log now.
426
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:44,160
(COMMENTATORS GROAN)
He is through!
427
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:46,440
He is something special, Freddie.
428
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:48,320
FREDDIE FLINTOFF:
Real character as well.
429
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:50,880
And possibly,
wearing the shortest shorts
430
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:53,360
we have seen in the competition
so far.
431
00:18:54,120 --> 00:18:55,160
Look at him now,
432
00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:58,240
the rock-climbing grip
coming into play on the cargo net.
433
00:18:58,280 --> 00:18:59,440
MAN: Stay high.
434
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:02,440
He tucks his T-shirt into his vest.
435
00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:04,560
Doesn't want to make a silly mistake
there,
436
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:06,720
as he's getting so close
to the water.
437
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:07,960
MAN: Come on!
You've got it, Ben!
438
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:09,600
Going a bit close to the water
for my liking,
439
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:10,960
but I think he's gonna be OK.
440
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:13,720
The tight shorts are an advantage
at a time like that.
441
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:14,840
REBECCA MADDERN: (LAUGHS) They are!
442
00:19:15,360 --> 00:19:16,360
Now this is where
443
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:19,320
Ben's rock-climbing
is gonna come to the fore.
444
00:19:19,360 --> 00:19:21,720
Such good grip strength.
445
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:23,680
And look at it.
MAN: Nice one.
446
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:25,480
Such a long reach.
447
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:27,120
Yeah, nice.
448
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:28,520
Alright, give it heaps.
Come on, Ben.
449
00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:29,560
Come on.
450
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:32,520
And now - well, hang on a moment,
451
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:34,520
that didn't look perfect
but he'll correct it.
452
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:37,360
Come on!
Come on, Ben. Come on.
453
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:39,240
Yes!
454
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:41,760
Now the transfer.
455
00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:44,480
FRIENDS: Come on!
456
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:47,400
Well, the facial expression says
that he's doing it a bit tough.
457
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:48,920
He is doing it a little bit tough.
458
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:50,720
Come on, Ben.
Just build it up.
459
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:51,880
Come on.
Swing it.
460
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:53,760
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
He's alright.
461
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:57,440
(AUDIENCE SHOUT AND CHEER)
462
00:19:57,480 --> 00:19:58,960
Now, during the heats,
463
00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:01,800
he made it over the warped wall
in just one attempt.
464
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:02,840
Not this time.
465
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:05,600
Oh, whoa! He was so close.
466
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:07,720
But I think this semifinal course
467
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:10,000
is really starting
to take its toll on him.
468
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:14,760
AUDIENCE: Beat the wall!
Beat the wall!
469
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:17,200
Fast, come on. Fast.
Just do it straight away.
470
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:20,760
Take your time, Ben.
Here we go, second attempt.
471
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:23,840
And he makes it! Well done.
472
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:26,120
But there's a long way to go yet.
473
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:29,840
If he has got
some fatigue issues now, Ben,
474
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:33,640
how do you see him going
on the flying shelf?
475
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:36,720
Well, he might just pause
for a moment here.
476
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:38,760
Come on, Ben. Come on.
Come on, Ben.
477
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:40,800
He doesn't pause.
He's straight into it.
478
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:44,240
No! His long arms
may just lend themselves...
479
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:46,680
from one shelf to the other.
480
00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:48,720
But you've gotta make sure
you're accurate
481
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:52,000
because there's no room
for forgiveness if you miss it.
482
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:54,680
More this time, Ben. Give it more.
Go big. Come on!
483
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:56,440
A big dismount needed here.
484
00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:58,400
This is where
Scott Evennett came up short.
485
00:20:58,440 --> 00:20:59,800
Come on, Ben.
486
00:21:00,360 --> 00:21:02,080
Yeah!
But not Ben Cossey!
487
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:05,040
And he does it in
spectacular fashion.
488
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:07,960
Now, the pole grasper.
489
00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:10,640
Just when you're at
your most fatigued,
490
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:13,200
this burns everything you've got,
Freddie.
491
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:15,320
Do you think he can do it?
492
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:16,560
FREDDIE FLINTOFF:
I've gotta tell you...
493
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:18,240
he was all smiles to begin with.
494
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:20,160
But now this has just become real.
495
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:24,280
Sliding down the pole,
but the end is in sight now, Ben.
496
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:26,400
You do not want to give up now,
497
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:28,600
no matter how your arms are feeling.
498
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:30,920
No matter how sore your fingers.
499
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:33,240
No matter how much
your legs are burning.
500
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:37,200
You have nearly got to the end
of the Ninja Warrior course
501
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:39,040
and having a chance in the final.
502
00:21:39,120 --> 00:21:43,280
Well, he's sucking them in big time
at the moment, big deep breaths.
503
00:21:43,360 --> 00:21:44,480
Ooh!
I think he can do it.
504
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:45,640
Just...
I think he can do it.
505
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:47,920
Tippy-toes!
Tippy-toes are there.
506
00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:49,120
And he's home!
507
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:51,440
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
508
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:53,920
Now just hang in there. Come on.
Come on, Ben. Come on.
509
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:57,600
This is it, the chimney climb -
7m straight up.
510
00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:01,240
7m of torture
when you are completely spent.
511
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:02,920
It's gonna take everything he's got.
512
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:04,080
Now, that has to be
513
00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:06,960
one of the strangest climbing
positions we've seen.

00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:08,560

He is struggling! Have a look at him

Oh, I don't know if he's got
enough stamina to make it.

He can do it! He can do it!
Come on!

He's got all of Australia behind him.

They're cheering him
here on Ninja Island.

to the opportunity of a lifetime.

It feels like we need to be passing
you some crutches there

How are you feeling?

Without doubt,
a supremely fit athlete.

He was struggling by the time
he reached the warped wall.

From there,
it was pure guts and willpower

as he complete the flying shelves
and the pole grasper.

up the chimney climb -

It looked like your legs
were burning, your shoulders...
548
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:43,360
Yeah, I don't know.
I was just trying to...

00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:44,760
stand my little heart out,
550
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:46,440

so it was just like...

also completed the course.

with a 4:06.

593
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:31,640
and he may have just checked himself
into the finals!

00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:35,040
And The Modern Mogley,
Josh O'Sullivan, with a 5:09.

shortest male warrior.

he makes up for in determination.

that I've been given that privilege.

Some of these guys are Olympic
gymnasts or Olympic athletes,

and just to know that you're even
at that same stage for this

Well, he doesn't have a big wingspan
because of his height.

He's not liking what he's seeing
at this point,

00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:21,520
because he's thinking the mat
is so far away at this point.

the top of the warped wall,

he whipped off those shoes
right away.

the best of competitors unstuck -

Oh, great footwork, Barefoot Ninja.
(BEN LAUGHS)
666
00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:58,040
That log didn't even spin.

in the right place

and getting a good purchase
onto the net.

tuck your shirts in. Come on, Dan!

He's through!
Whoo!
677
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:26,680
But that long climb down
saps your grip strength,

is all about grip strength.

good position on the bungee,
682
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:43,160
and look at the bent arms.
683
00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:46,600
He's strong, really using his biceps
to help his grip.
684
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:47,760
Come on, Dan!
685
00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:50,520
He's made his way through it
so far...
686
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:53,240
with a degree of ease,
687
00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:54,640
but this is the tough part.
688
00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:55,880
He's on!
Ooh!
689
00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:58,280
Nice grip. Nice, Dan. Nice.
690
00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:00,080
It does look a little bit daunting.
691
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:02,440
That's a mighty leap
you have to do at the end there.
692
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:05,280
And then you've got
this nasty surprise at the end,
693
00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:07,640
being this log
that you've gotta bear hug
694
00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:09,400
and get yourself to the dismount.
695
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:11,400
Come on.
696
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:14,120
And it doesn't lend itself
697
00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:16,080
to getting a good view down
but there he goes.
698
00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:18,600
He has a look to make sure
of the landing - well done.
699
00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:21,040
It's time for the warped wall.
700
00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:24,680
Daniel Mason,
25 years of age from Victoria.
701
00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:26,160
I hope everyone's watching...
AUDIENCE: Beat the wall!
702
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:27,800
You've got this.
..in Victoria tonight.
703
00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:28,920
Here he goes!
704
00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:30,800
Oh!
Nice work, Dan!
705
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:34,480
What great leg drive.
He made it look so easy.
706
00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:36,520
The best we've seen tonight.
707
00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:39,520
But we know it is not over yet.
708
00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:41,880
Down two steps.
709
00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:45,880
And he's just caught sight
of the flying shelf.
710
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:47,400
Take a break if you need one.
711
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:50,280
The crowd on their feet.
712
00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:52,440
Here we go.
713
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:55,280
Once you get yourself up onto this,
714
00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:57,080
it's all about finger strength.
715
00:30:57,120 --> 00:30:58,680
There's no way around it.
716
00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:01,600
You've gotta have straight arms,
which is a dead hang,
717
00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:03,240
and then you've gotta push yourself,
718
00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:06,320
propel yourself through the air
to get to the second shelf!
719
00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:07,720
And he does!
(BEN LAUGHS)
720
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:09,480
And again.
I tell you what...
721
00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:12,240
your heart's in your mouth
as you're watching this stuff.
722
00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:14,600
It is just incredible.
723
00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:18,600
My heart's in my mouth now
because that is about 3.5m.
724
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:20,920
You've gotta fly through the air
to get to the dismount,
725
00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:22,160
but he did it well.
726
00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:24,400
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
727
00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:28,040
He's got the kind of body shape
that maybe lends itself to the poles,
728
00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:30,880
but I've thought that before
and others have come unstuck.
729
00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:33,520
Well, by this stage in the course,
730
00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:35,280
you've probably built up
quite a sweat,
731
00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:37,800
so your hands
are starting to get sweaty.
732
00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:40,000
And that's what you need
in this obstacle -
733
00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:41,480
you need good grip.
734
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:43,800
Nice work.
735
00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:45,360
And it's not just the hand grip.
736
00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:47,120
It's the feet and the legs as well,
737
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:50,040
because if you can't hold on...
with the feet,
738
00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:51,520
then forget it.
739
00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:53,680
You're not gonna be able
to keep your body upright.
740
00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:56,120
Nice work, Dan.
741
00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:58,800
This is the tell-tale sign
when they start to look in trouble.
742
00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:01,880
You see the feet
going lower and lower and lower.
743
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:03,160
He knows he's in trouble,
744
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:05,960
and he's gotta get off really quick!
Oh, he's doing the splits!
745
00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:08,280
At a time you don't want to be doing
the splits. Come on, Daniel!
746
00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:09,880
Oh, this...
Daniel Mason...
747
00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:12,040
FREDDIE FLINTOFF: Try
and get them feet. Pull yourself up.
748
00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:15,440
Look at that. Yes! It's the greatest
comeback we've seen in years.
749
00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:17,480
As he was slipping down, but no.
750
00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:19,440
He says,
no, I'm not giving up here.
751
00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:21,320
I wanna get through to the finals.
752
00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:23,000
I wanna complete this course.
753
00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:24,640
Sliding down - yes!
754
00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:28,120
Gets his feet onto the mat!
Whoo! Come on, Dan!
755
00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:29,280
Wow!
756
00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:32,400
That was a test of strength.
That was a test of nerve.
757
00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:36,080
That was a test
of sheer balls and ticker.
758
00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:38,320
(CHUCKLES) OK, beautifully put,
Freddie.
759
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:40,760
He needs to find even more.
Come on, Dan!
760
00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:43,520
He still has the chimney climb to go.
761
00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:46,120
AUDIENCE: Climb, climb, climb!
762
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:49,040
Oh, this is not easy.
This is 7m tall.
763
00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:50,880
Come on, Freddie,
talk us through it.
764
00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:52,720
Having seen what I've just seen,
765
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:54,240
and I'm not backing against him
on this.
766
00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:55,880
But he's getting up there
as fast as he can.
767
00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:57,240
Up to where the pipe spits him out.
768
00:32:57,280 --> 00:32:59,640
Coming up to the 6m mark.
769
00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:00,880
Now up to the seven.
770
00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:03,840
And his top... it's just popped
through the top of the chimney.
771
00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:05,960
Now the rest of his head has too.
772
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:07,640
He pulls himself up.
773
00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:10,960
(BUZZER) The Barefoot Ninja
presses the buzzer!
774
00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:13,720
Oh, he takes his shoes off
as promised.
775
00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:15,560
Oh, his feet are gonna be sweaty.
776
00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:18,080
Nearly hits his missus on the head
with his shoes.
777
00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:20,560
But she's happy, she's smiling.
778
00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:22,800
He's smiling. We're all smiling.
779
00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:24,440
Well done there, Barefoot Ninja.
780
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:27,480
(TRIUMPHANT MUSIC)
781
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:31,320
This is where you really start
to understand
782
00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:33,000
the mental strength
of these athletes.
783
00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:35,120
Just look at Daniel
on the pole grasper.
784
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:38,240
His forearms were shot,
his grip was shot.
785
00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:39,960
He was sliding towards the water.
786
00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:43,360
But somehow muscled himself
back into contention
787
00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:45,800
with the fourth fastest time
of the night.
788
00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:48,280
(TRIUMPHANT MUSIC)
789
00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:51,640
Talk us through the pole grasper.
You dug so deep.
790
00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:52,800
Where did that come from?
791
00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:53,960
Oh!
792
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:57,120
Just... (CHUCKLES) ..my desire to
get through it. I almost came off.
793
00:33:57,200 --> 00:33:59,480
I looked at the chimney and went,
"Man, I want to get up that."
794
00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:00,520
(CHUCKLES)
795
00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:02,480
And then you promised that you
were going to take your shoes off
796
00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:03,920
if you got to the top
of the chimney.
797
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:06,160
But you nearly hit your missus
on the head with your shoe
798
00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:07,240
as you threw it.
799
00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:08,760
Whoops. Sorry, Maddie. (CHUCKLES)
800
00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:11,080
You got some explaining to do.
Lucky she's still smiling.
801
00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:14,560
Ladies and gentlemen, the
Barefoot Ninja - unbelievable run.
802
00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:16,440
Big round of applause.
Go and join Maddie, mate.

Tom O'Halloran.
809
00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:31,640
There's two Cossey brothers
810
00:34:31,720 --> 00:34:35,280
but we both know that you need
two of them to make up one of me.
811
00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:36,600
And still to come -
812
00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:39,200
it's the 'Turbo Tradie',
Ashlin Herbert.
813
00:34:39,240 --> 00:34:40,680
Now that I've made the semis,
814
00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:42,760
I'm sort of one step closer
to Mount Midoriyama.
815
00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:44,760
It's definitely another chance
to have a bit of fun.
816

Plus - can Andrea Hah become
817
00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:49,640
the first ever
Aussie female Ninja Warrior

00:34:49,680 --> 00:34:51,760
to conquer the warped wall?

I am so determined tonight to stand
on the top of that platform.

all want to make it through

BEN FORDHAM: But it's the ninja
who goes furthest and fastest

that will be given the title
of Performance of the Night.

00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:19,840
Welcome back to the semifinals,
826
00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:22,080
where the stakes
have never been higher.
827
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:26,960
Just 7 of tonight's 30 athletes will
go on to fight in the grand final.

And during the break,
Fred Dorrington,
829
00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:33,240
the man who finished third overall
in the UK version of Ninja Warrior,

00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:37,440
completed the entire course in 4:35,
831
00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:40,640

for tonight's top seven.

But no such luck for
our resident fisherman Cody Thomas,
834
00:35:48,240 --> 00:35:51,040
who was all at sea on the log grip.

FREDDIE FLINTOFF: Oh no!
Cody Thomas is in the water.
836
00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:58,840
And we saw tears of a clown
from circus performer Glen West...

00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:00,360
Oh!
Oh no!
838
00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:02,080
..who got caught out
at the jump hang.

00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:04,680
He is furious with himself.

00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:36,920
And he finished a comfortable
second place in his heat.
852
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:40,320
He's quickly proving to be one of
the competition's dark horses.

When you're out rock-climbing,
it's...
855
00:36:45,600 --> 00:36:48,520
it's very much just you
and a couple of friends
856
00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:50,280
and you're out there
and there's birds
857
00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:52,680
and, you know,
the wind going through the trees
858
00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:56,040
and it's really
a, um, calm, peaceful environment.

Nice job.

40,000 TV cameras and lights and...

and bring yourself back to,

my buddies. I'm having a fun time."

she's very keen on climbing.

Oh, you've got a chalk bag too.
869

We took her
out to the cliff the other day
870
00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:29,800
and she chucked a harness on
871
00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:31,440
and she wanted to go
higher and higher and higher.
872

Do you want to come down now?
No. No?
873
00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:35,080
I wouldn't be surprised that,

00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:38,120

of Australian Ninja Warrior,
875
00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:39,720

he blows 'em a kiss.

It becomes a pre-course ritual,
879
00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:52,600
and something Tom believes to be
a very good luck charm -
880

that many of the other competitors

have watched this bloke and thought,
885
00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:07,520
this could just be the ninja who
sneaks up behind the rest of us
886
00:38:07,600 --> 00:38:09,760
and makes it to the top
of Mount Midoriyama.

He's only 67kg.
893

That's really light for someone
who is over 180cm tall.

didn't even... spin.

It was basically just a log.

Here he goes, onto the tramp.

Ooh, it's low.
He lands low on the net. He does!
898
00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:39,680
He took a big leap there, Freddie.

Massive leap.

But now just scrambling
under the cargo net.

to the water.

What I love about these rock-climbers
is their composure, just so calm.

Taking his time
across the bungee road. Ooh!
908

Just needs to get to these last two,
909
00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:16,960
which are quite a leap through the
air, and he does that successfully.

He didn't stop to look at it.

918
00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:40,440
And he has to. We know five ninjas
have already completed the course.

More are still to come.
920
00:39:41,880 --> 00:39:45,360
So he needs to finish and finish fast
to be sure of qualifying.

00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:50,000

it's the flying shelf in the way.

He needs to get a good grip on it.
927
00:39:59,880 --> 00:40:03,160
But look at that rock-climbing form.
He's very confident.
928
00:40:03,240 --> 00:40:05,360
He feels pretty comfortable
up there, Ben.
929

His grip strength is amazing...
Wow!
930
00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:09,960
..so he is going to have an advantage
on this... Come on. Come on!

932
00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:13,760
And he makes no mistake with it.
933
00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:17,360
As long as that strength is matched
with coordination...
934
00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:22,160
Two obstacle to go,
and he is not wasting a second.

over other competitors.

about all the lights and cameras,

of the night by 30 seconds.

00:44:23,760 --> 00:44:25,760
(COUNTDOWN TIMER)
1020
00:44:25,800 --> 00:44:27,120
Righto. Down to business.
1021
00:44:27,160 --> 00:44:29,840
Come on, Jayden. 25 years of age.
1022
00:44:30,480 --> 00:44:32,400
Completed the course in the heats.
1023
00:44:32,480 --> 00:44:35,240
And skipping through
the quintuple steps.
1024
00:44:35,320 --> 00:44:37,440
Just on those pants -
are they knickerbockers?
1025
00:44:37,520 --> 00:44:39,480
Is that what they used to be called
in the 1980s?
1026
00:44:39,560 --> 00:44:41,320
I think they're called
a three-quarter pant
1027
00:44:41,400 --> 00:44:43,080
but in the '80s,
they were called a knickerbocker.
1028
00:44:43,120 --> 00:44:44,920
Now, this next one is interesting
1029
00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:48,400
because his brother Nathaniel
crashed out on this spinning log
1030
00:44:48,440 --> 00:44:49,800
in his semifinal.
1031
00:44:49,880 --> 00:44:51,680
How is Jayden going to go?
Oh!
1032
00:44:51,760 --> 00:44:55,280
The knickerbockers gave him
the extra speed he needed.
1033
00:44:55,360 --> 00:44:58,200
He whipped it. Here he goes,
off the tramp, onto the net -
1034
00:44:58,240 --> 00:45:00,280
no problem. Beautiful landing.
1035
00:45:00,960 --> 00:45:02,360
Kicks his way down there.
1036
00:45:02,400 --> 00:45:03,680
He's going quickly, Bec.
1037
00:45:03,720 --> 00:45:04,800
Going very quickly.
1038
00:45:04,840 --> 00:45:05,840
ALL: Come on, Jayden.
1039
00:45:05,920 --> 00:45:07,880
Well, he knows
he has to not only finish,
1040
00:45:07,960 --> 00:45:10,080
but finish fast
to make the grand final.
1041
00:45:10,120 --> 00:45:12,600
But the flipside to that is rushing.
1042
00:45:12,680 --> 00:45:15,760
You're more likely to make a mistake
if you rush,
1043
00:45:15,840 --> 00:45:18,440
and one mistake here,
and you're out!
1044
00:45:18,480 --> 00:45:19,840
MAN: Yes, yes, yes!
1045
00:45:19,880 --> 00:45:20,880
WOMAN: Go, Jayden.
1046
00:45:21,800 --> 00:45:24,440
OK, next up, he's got bungee road.
1047
00:45:25,040 --> 00:45:29,400
Jayden is tall and light -
6 foot and just 72 kilos.
1048
00:45:29,480 --> 00:45:32,080
So physically,
he's well suited to this one.
1049
00:45:32,120 --> 00:45:34,880
He's onto the second set of bungees.
1050
00:45:34,920 --> 00:45:37,320
Looking to make it on to the third.
1051
00:45:37,360 --> 00:45:39,200
He's just going one at a time.
1052
00:45:42,720 --> 00:45:44,600
FRIENDS: Yes!
That's a low catch.
1053
00:45:44,640 --> 00:45:45,680
WOMAN: You've got this, Jayden.
1054
00:45:45,760 --> 00:45:47,760
But he's hanging there, Freddie.
You've got this.
1055
00:45:47,840 --> 00:45:49,000
FREDDIE FLINTOFF:
Grabbing onto the log.
1056
00:45:49,080 --> 00:45:51,800
Can't use his feet on this exercise.
Gotta use his hands.
1057
00:45:51,880 --> 00:45:55,240
It's tilted up - just makes it
that extra bit harder.
1058
00:45:55,320 --> 00:45:57,760
Needs to get onto dry land now.
Onto the mat.
1059
00:45:57,800 --> 00:45:59,160
Yes, he's through!
1060
00:45:59,840 --> 00:46:02,880
He's through. Jayden's travelling
very well so far.
1061
00:46:02,960 --> 00:46:05,800
His time is fast
and he beat the wall in his heat.
1062
00:46:05,840 --> 00:46:07,440
He's wasting no time.
1063
00:46:08,640 --> 00:46:09,960
He's up!
1064
00:46:10,040 --> 00:46:11,640
First time.
WOMAN: Go, Jayden!
1065
00:46:11,680 --> 00:46:13,040
Good work, Jayden.
1066
00:46:13,120 --> 00:46:16,840
But now, into unknown territory -
the flying shelf.
1067
00:46:16,880 --> 00:46:18,000
You've got this, Jayden.
1068
00:46:18,080 --> 00:46:23,040
The fastest time of the night
is a 3:34, set by Tom O'Halloran.
1069
00:46:23,120 --> 00:46:26,040
And looking at his time so far,
Jayden could well beat that.
1070
00:46:26,080 --> 00:46:27,840
But can he keep it together?
1071
00:46:28,440 --> 00:46:31,600
You can see his family there,
just in the shot.
1072
00:46:31,680 --> 00:46:34,280
It is such a tense moment
for them... Yes!
1073
00:46:34,320 --> 00:46:35,600
..as he flies through the air.
1074
00:46:35,680 --> 00:46:38,960
They clap their hands,
knowing he's almost there, Ben.
1075
00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:40,120
You've got this, Jayden.
1076
00:46:41,640 --> 00:46:44,440
Come on, come on, come on.
Is he gonna go? Is he gonna go?
1077
00:46:44,520 --> 00:46:47,080
He's gonna go!
Ooh! That's one way to do it.
1078
00:46:47,120 --> 00:46:48,640
What a first.
1079
00:46:49,160 --> 00:46:51,960
You've got this, Jayden.
Straight onto the pole grasper now.
1080
00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:54,200
His arms have got to be burning.
1081
00:46:54,280 --> 00:46:57,560
And there's Nan.
She's riding every move.
1082
00:46:57,640 --> 00:46:59,200
MAN: Yes, come on.
WOMAN: Come on.
1083
00:46:59,240 --> 00:47:00,280
You're it, Jayden.
1084
00:47:01,160 --> 00:47:03,240
It's good. Come on.
Come on, Jayden.
1085
00:47:03,320 --> 00:47:05,320
This is a different technique
to what we've seen,
1086
00:47:05,400 --> 00:47:08,320
and he climbs up each time,
and goes down a little bit,
1087
00:47:08,360 --> 00:47:09,680
testing the next pole.
1088
00:47:09,720 --> 00:47:11,200
WOMAN: You're nearly there, Jayden.
1089
00:47:11,240 --> 00:47:14,160
Look at the muscles in his arms.
1090
00:47:14,200 --> 00:47:15,600
Everything is rippling.
1091
00:47:15,680 --> 00:47:17,640
That takes an incredible amount
of strength
1092
00:47:17,680 --> 00:47:19,720
to dance through those poles
1093
00:47:19,760 --> 00:47:21,760
and keep yourself up nice and high.
1094
00:47:21,840 --> 00:47:24,240
Now the dismount. Looks to be
troubling him a little bit.
1095
00:47:24,320 --> 00:47:26,400
Oh! He's just trying
to get enough swing.
1096
00:47:26,440 --> 00:47:28,040
How do you get out of that?
1097
00:47:28,120 --> 00:47:31,080
What that is is extreme core
strength. That's how you do it.
1098
00:47:31,120 --> 00:47:32,200
That's how you do it.
1099
00:47:32,280 --> 00:47:34,080
WOMAN: Good work, Jayden. Come on.
MAN: Come on, Jayden. Come on.
1100
00:47:34,160 --> 00:47:37,440
One to go, Nan, but it's a biggie -
the chimney climb.
1101
00:47:37,520 --> 00:47:39,120
WOMAN: You've got this, Jayden.
Don't blow it now.
1102
00:47:40,600 --> 00:47:44,680
He's the second part of the Irving
brothers to take on the semifinals
1103
00:47:44,720 --> 00:47:46,560
of Australian Ninja Warrior.
1104
00:47:46,640 --> 00:47:49,000
His brother Nathaniel
couldn't get there.
1105
00:47:49,080 --> 00:47:51,840
Can Jayden Irving
make it all the way up?
1106
00:47:51,880 --> 00:47:53,680
He is there!
1107
00:47:53,720 --> 00:47:55,080
He's made it to the top...
1108
00:47:55,160 --> 00:47:56,960
(BUZZER)
..of the chimney climb,
1109
00:47:57,000 --> 00:47:58,640
and hits the buzzer.
1110
00:47:58,680 --> 00:48:02,320
You little ripper, Jayden Irving.
1111
00:48:03,440 --> 00:48:05,080
3:29.
1112
00:48:05,160 --> 00:48:09,280
He's not only climbed the chimney,
he's climbed right into first place.
1113
00:48:09,320 --> 00:48:12,160
(TRIUMPHANT MUSIC)
1114
00:48:12,240 --> 00:48:15,240
Jayden Irving,
that was something special.
1115
00:48:15,320 --> 00:48:19,240
Congratulations.
What a run, my friend. What a run!
1116
00:48:19,280 --> 00:48:20,560
Thank you. Thank you.
1117
00:48:20,600 --> 00:48:21,880
Oh!
1118
00:48:21,920 --> 00:48:23,400
It's definitely exhausting.
1119
00:48:24,200 --> 00:48:26,080
But hey - awesome fun.
1120
00:48:26,120 --> 00:48:27,400
Whoo!
1121
00:48:27,440 --> 00:48:30,440
(TRIUMPHANT MUSIC)
1122
00:48:31,120 --> 00:48:33,880
Jayden's got
a loose, easy style about him.
1123
00:48:33,960 --> 00:48:36,040
But that belies
just how strong he is.
1124
00:48:36,120 --> 00:48:38,480
He's shown very little fatigue
through the course.
1125
00:48:38,560 --> 00:48:43,000
And with time being so crucial,
he barely paused between obstacles.
1126
00:48:43,080 --> 00:48:47,400
That performance is bad news for
the Barefoot Ninja, Daniel Mason,
1127
00:48:47,440 --> 00:48:49,600
who falls out of the top seven.
1128
00:48:50,120 --> 00:48:53,040
Congratulations once again
to Jayden Irving,
1129
00:48:53,080 --> 00:48:54,880
now on the top of the leaderboard...
1130
00:48:54,920 --> 00:48:57,920
(READS LEADERBOARD)
1131
00:48:58,800 --> 00:49:00,320
But there's still a long way to go.
1132
00:49:00,400 --> 00:49:03,800
Will it be enough to keep him
in the top seven tonight?
1133
00:49:05,640 --> 00:49:09,560
Still to come - Andrea Hah
came so close in her heats.
1134
00:49:09,640 --> 00:49:13,600
Can she be the first female
competitor up the warped wall?
1135
00:49:13,680 --> 00:49:16,240
AUDIENCE: Oh!
(BUZZER)
1136
00:49:16,320 --> 00:49:20,440
Tonight, she's back!
And out for redemption.
1137
00:49:20,960 --> 00:49:24,040
Plus - will Lee Cossey join
his younger brother Ben
1138
00:49:24,080 --> 00:49:25,320
in the top seven?
1139
00:49:25,400 --> 00:49:27,200
To be here,
representing the Blue Mountains
1140
00:49:27,240 --> 00:49:28,360
and the climbing community -
1141
00:49:28,400 --> 00:49:29,720
couldn't be happier.
1142
00:49:29,800 --> 00:49:32,920
And after the break -
he finished first in his heat...
1143
00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:37,040
Out of nowhere, Ashlin Herbert
blows the field away.
1144
00:49:37,120 --> 00:49:39,080
..but can he do the same
in the semis?
1145
00:49:39,160 --> 00:49:42,200
It's the 'Turbo Tradie',
Ashlin Herbert.
1146
00:49:50,240 --> 00:49:52,080
REBECCA MADDERN:
Welcome back to the semifinals
1147
00:49:52,120 --> 00:49:53,680
of Australian Ninja Warrior.
1148
00:49:53,720 --> 00:49:55,960
And the competition is heating up
1149
00:49:56,040 --> 00:49:58,840
as we join the Turbo Tradie,
Ashlin Herbert,
1150
00:49:58,880 --> 00:50:00,960
who's holding on at bungee road.
1151
00:50:01,040 --> 00:50:02,880
BEN FORDHAM: This guy blitzed
the field in his heat,
1152
00:50:02,920 --> 00:50:04,520
finishing first overall.
1153
00:50:04,560 --> 00:50:06,520
Now, to get into the top seven,
1154
00:50:06,560 --> 00:50:08,720
he needs to beat 5:09.
1155
00:50:09,240 --> 00:50:10,520
But the way he's going,
1156
00:50:10,600 --> 00:50:14,280
he might even beat the night's
fastest time of 3:29.
1157
00:50:14,320 --> 00:50:16,560
Yeah, he is lightning quick!
1158

Beat the wall!
1159
00:50:21,120 --> 00:50:22,280

AUDIENCE: Beat the wall!
Beat the wall!

And he's up!
Great stuff, Ashlin. Great stuff.
1162
00:50:30,720 --> 00:50:33,440
So this is the new part
of the journey,
1163
00:50:33,520 --> 00:50:37,400
and he now stares
at the flying shelf.
1164
00:50:38,960 --> 00:50:41,680
This is such a difficult obstacle.
1165
00:50:41,760 --> 00:50:44,880
I mean, that is only
a very narrow shelf.
1166
00:50:44,960 --> 00:50:47,480
Not only do you have to
hang onto it,
1167
00:50:47,560 --> 00:50:51,600
but you have to get enough swing
to get to the second shelf. Oh!
1168
00:50:53,400 --> 00:50:55,160
Look at the swing!
1169
00:50:55,200 --> 00:50:56,520
(COMMENTATORS GROAN)
1170
00:50:56,600 --> 00:50:59,320
Oh, look at the air!
Right through the air!
1171
00:51:00,720 --> 00:51:03,600
He is making his mark
here on the course.
1172
00:51:03,640 --> 00:51:06,320
Up he goes onto the pole grasper.
1173
00:51:06,360 --> 00:51:07,840
And look how quick he's gone.
1174
00:51:07,920 --> 00:51:11,160
One, two, three, four, and he already
grabbing onto the fifth pole.
1175
00:51:13,440 --> 00:51:15,960
He's just not fazed by the obstacle.
1176
00:51:16,040 --> 00:51:19,120
He's got no mental demons
to overcome.
1177
00:51:20,080 --> 00:51:23,040
Now he transfers over.
The feet aren't slipping at all.
1178
00:51:25,600 --> 00:51:28,080
Great control, perfect composure.
1179
00:51:28,160 --> 00:51:30,560
Just don't muck up on the dismount.
No, he won't do that.
1180
00:51:32,560 --> 00:51:36,680
This man has got all of the qualities
that could see him go all the way.
1181
00:51:36,760 --> 00:51:39,520
Ben, I'm sorry. He is just skipping
through this course.
1182
00:51:39,560 --> 00:51:40,840
No worries!
1183
00:51:40,920 --> 00:51:42,600
This could be the best time

Now let's alert
the pyrotechnics department.
1185
00:51:45,640 --> 00:51:47,280
Get the fireworks ready,
1186
00:51:47,360 --> 00:51:50,200
because Ashlin Herbert,
from Victoria,
1187
00:51:50,280 --> 00:51:53,160
is about to catapult himself
into the final...
1188
00:51:53,240 --> 00:51:57,120
(BUZZER)
..of Australian Ninja Warrior!
1189
00:51:58,160 --> 00:52:02,200
Ashlin Herbert,
that was absolutely sensational.
1190
00:52:02,240 --> 00:52:03,920
You deserve this moment!
1191
00:52:04,000 --> 00:52:06,760
You have gone
to the top of the leaderboard.
1192
00:52:06,800 --> 00:52:09,080
Mate, you are a freak!
1193
00:52:09,120 --> 00:52:10,840
How did you do that?
1194
00:52:11,560 --> 00:52:12,640
Ah, yeah.
1195
00:52:13,280 --> 00:52:15,320
Just try it.
No, we don't know.
1196
00:52:15,360 --> 00:52:16,880

1197
00:52:16,920 --> 00:52:18,040
Well, well, well.
1198
00:52:18,120 --> 00:52:21,880
Ashlin, you have set the bar
right up here, my man.
1199
00:52:21,960 --> 00:52:24,920
Right up here. You're the one
to watch in this competition.
1200
00:52:26,960 --> 00:52:28,520
Let's take a look
at the leaderboard.

(READS LEADERBOARD)
1202
00:52:34,880 --> 00:52:38,040
Sadly, it's the end of the line
for Josh O'Sullivan,
1203
00:52:38,080 --> 00:52:40,360
who slips outside the top seven.
1204
00:52:40,440 --> 00:52:43,320
That leaves our 'Afro Ninja',
Travis Edwards,
1205
00:52:43,360 --> 00:52:46,360
just hanging on in seventh place.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
1207
00:52:50,880 --> 00:52:54,520
Our next runner is Emmett Swindells,
from Queensland.
1208
00:52:54,560 --> 00:52:56,080
He is a warehouse picker,
1209
00:52:56,160 --> 00:52:59,240
who only made it
to the fifth obstacle in his heat.
1210
00:52:59,320 --> 00:53:01,560
He'll have to do a lot better
than that tonight.
1211
00:53:01,600 --> 00:53:03,160
It's Emmett Swindells.

MAN: Pick boxes for a supermarket
during the evenings.
1214
00:53:09,480 --> 00:53:12,080
Basically picking up boxes all
night, so that's pretty physical.
1215
00:53:12,160 --> 00:53:14,400
I think the guys at the warehouse
will enjoy it.
1216
00:53:14,480 --> 00:53:16,800
They'll, um, I think
they'll have a bit of a laugh.
1217
00:53:17,640 --> 00:53:20,040
The obstacle I'm most worried about
in the semifinals
1218
00:53:20,080 --> 00:53:21,600
is probably the spinning log,
1219
00:53:21,680 --> 00:53:23,400
just because
it's a bit unpredictable.
1220
00:53:23,480 --> 00:53:25,160
I've never really done anything
like that before,
1221
00:53:25,240 --> 00:53:26,800
so that will be a bit tough,
I reckon.
1222
00:53:27,400 --> 00:53:29,640
It does feel like I can get
to Mount Midoriyama.
1223
00:53:29,680 --> 00:53:31,160
I know I stacked it on the last one,
1224
00:53:31,240 --> 00:53:33,440
but I'm just really happy
that I get another chance to do it
1225
00:53:33,480 --> 00:53:35,040
and try and... try and complete it.

FREDDIE FLINTOFF: Emmett Swindells,
what has he got on?
1228
00:53:40,880 --> 00:53:42,120
And no, I don't mean the beard.
1229
00:53:42,160 --> 00:53:43,840
I mean the trousers.
1230
00:53:43,880 --> 00:53:46,560
I mean the socks and the trainers.
1231
00:53:46,640 --> 00:53:48,120
Are you smiling?
I can hear you!
1232
00:53:48,200 --> 00:53:50,240

on Australian Ninja Warrior.
1236
00:53:54,840 --> 00:53:58,400
How will those fancy red shoes
get him home?
1237
00:53:58,480 --> 00:54:01,160
Well, they'll move faster than
normal-coloured shoes, of course.
1238
00:54:01,200 --> 00:54:03,240
They'll need to move fast tonight.

who's currently in seventh place.
1242
00:54:11,520 --> 00:54:15,120
OK. He's got a strong grip
on the log grip,
1243
00:54:15,200 --> 00:54:18,880
and that's exactly what you need
to ride those nasty bumps.
1244
00:54:18,960 --> 00:54:20,360
MAN: Boy, that's it!
MAN: Well done!
1245
00:54:20,400 --> 00:54:21,800
Nice.
1246
00:54:21,840 --> 00:54:23,120
Spinning log now.
1247
00:54:24,000 --> 00:54:25,000

Oh!

..hang on, hang on!

Oh my goodness.
Hang on!
1251
00:54:29,960 --> 00:54:31,320
Don't let go.
Don't you give up!
1252
00:54:31,400 --> 00:54:32,680
Don't you give up!
Yeah, don't!

hanging on for dear life.
1255
00:54:37,240 --> 00:54:40,680
This is an opportunity for him
to keep on going in the competition.
1256
00:54:40,720 --> 00:54:42,440
And he's going to do it!
1257
00:54:42,480 --> 00:54:44,680
That is an extraordinary recovery!

Emmett Swindells does not know
the definition of giving up.
1261
00:54:52,760 --> 00:54:54,440
That was a mammoth save.
1262
00:54:54,520 --> 00:54:56,600
Brilliant stuff
from our warehouse picker.
1263
00:54:56,640 --> 00:54:58,840

Well done. Come on.
1266
00:55:04,480 --> 00:55:10,360
The courage to refocus after that
stumble takes an incredible athlete.
1267
00:55:10,440 --> 00:55:12,400
That's it, lock those feet in.

Take your time. Take your time.
Well done, well done. Doing well.

He's just flirting with the water.
Oh!

Emmett, you're killing us!
1273
00:55:27,120 --> 00:55:29,200
You're going so close.
1274
00:55:29,240 --> 00:55:30,520
And he's going so slowly.
1275
00:55:30,600 --> 00:55:32,920
Let's go.
But I think he's gonna be OK
1276
00:55:33,000 --> 00:55:35,440
after getting a second life...
Nice, nice.
1277
00:55:35,480 --> 00:55:37,280
..on the spinning log.
1278
00:55:37,320 --> 00:55:38,520
He survives!
1279
00:55:38,600 --> 00:55:40,440
Again, he survives!
The jump hang.
1280
00:55:40,520 --> 00:55:43,040
He's a cockroach.
You can't kill him off.
1281
00:55:43,080 --> 00:55:45,320
But the clock might get him, Ben.
1282
00:55:45,400 --> 00:55:47,600
We're only through the fourth
obstacle, and I can tell you,
1283
00:55:47,680 --> 00:55:52,080
he is already 15 seconds behind
where he needs to be to qualify.
1284
00:55:52,160 --> 00:55:55,960
He needs to make up some time
here on the bungee road.
1285
00:55:56,040 --> 00:55:58,240
Nice. Take your time.
He does, Bec,
1286
00:55:58,320 --> 00:56:00,680
but he doesn't look like
he's got it in him.
1287
00:56:01,520 --> 00:56:04,360
That saving on the spinning log
has... Oh, there you go.
1288
00:56:04,440 --> 00:56:06,880
Oh, no.
He's gone. He's gone.
1289
00:56:06,920 --> 00:56:08,000
Unlucky, unlucky.
1290
00:56:09,320 --> 00:56:12,600
Emmett's saving on the spinning log
was one in a thousand.
1291
00:56:12,640 --> 00:56:14,640
There is nothing to hold on to here,
1292
00:56:14,720 --> 00:56:18,400
but somehow he manages
to cling on to the log long enough
1293
00:56:18,440 --> 00:56:20,960
to work his feet onto the mat.
1294
00:56:21,000 --> 00:56:23,080
Raw strength and willpower.
1295
00:56:23,160 --> 00:56:25,960
But he paid a big price,
burning so much energy,
1296
00:56:26,040 --> 00:56:28,800
and blew out his last candle
on the bungee road.
1297
00:56:31,320 --> 00:56:33,400
Emmett, you've ripped your trousers.
Have I?
1298
00:56:33,480 --> 00:56:35,360
You've got a hole in your trousers.
Look at this!
1299
00:56:36,200 --> 00:56:38,840
Oh, I'm gutted for you
and your Stormtrooper trousers.
1300
00:56:38,920 --> 00:56:41,520
Well, I've only got one more pair
left, so...
1301
00:56:41,600 --> 00:56:43,720
I'm pretty devo that they're ripped
actually.
1302
00:56:43,760 --> 00:56:45,000
Well, save them for next year.
1303
00:56:45,080 --> 00:56:48,080
Hopefully you'll be back.
Yeah, definitely, man. It's awesome.
1304
00:56:48,800 --> 00:56:50,000
Great effort tonight. Great effort.
1305
00:56:50,080 --> 00:56:52,960
Ladies and gentlemen... Oh,
I got a kiss from the bearded man!
1306
00:56:53,000 --> 00:56:54,400
Oh, I'm a little bit embarrassed.
1307
00:56:54,480 --> 00:56:56,560
I've gotta go to a break.
I need to get over that.
1308
00:56:56,640 --> 00:56:58,360

Jeez! Come back after.

in the warm-up gym
1311
00:57:05,800 --> 00:57:08,320
and flying the flag
for our female Ninja Warriors...
1312
00:57:08,360 --> 00:57:10,120
Andrea Hah.
1313
00:57:10,200 --> 00:57:12,840
I think females are in
a really fortunate position
1314
00:57:12,920 --> 00:57:15,680
to be able to be
on the same playing field as men,
1315
00:57:15,760 --> 00:57:18,560
and to be able to do really well,
regardless of gender.

00:57:24,520 --> 00:57:26,720
BEN FORDHAM: Welcome back
to the second semifinal

Remember -
only 7 of tonight's 30 ninjas
1319
00:57:31,680 --> 00:57:33,440
will make it to the grand final.
1320
00:57:33,520 --> 00:57:36,840
Currently, Andrea Hah is preparing
for her run,
1321
00:57:36,920 --> 00:57:39,520
but first,
let's check the leaderboard.
1322
00:57:39,600 --> 00:57:41,720
Where we can see
that sitting in first place
1323
00:57:41,800 --> 00:57:44,480
is our 'Turbo Tradie',
Ashlin Herbert.
1324
00:57:45,000 --> 00:57:48,040
And down in seventh place,
hanging by a thread,
1325
00:57:48,080 --> 00:57:50,160
'Afro Ninja' Travis Edwards.
1326
00:57:50,240 --> 00:57:53,000
REBECCA MADDERN: So if Andrea wants
to join her rock-climbing mates
1327
00:57:53,080 --> 00:57:57,240
in the top seven, she'll need
to beat Travis' time of 5:05.
1328
00:57:57,320 --> 00:58:00,800
But right now on the course, we are
in the middle of an impressive run.
1329
00:58:00,880 --> 00:58:05,080
Yes, it's 24-year-old financial
adviser Rob Sandover,
1330
00:58:05,120 --> 00:58:06,560
from Western Australia.
1331
00:58:06,600 --> 00:58:08,760
He finished fourth in his heat,
1332
00:58:08,840 --> 00:58:11,800
and now he's about to negotiate
his way through the pole grasper.
1333
00:58:12,440 --> 00:58:14,480
Rob has really gotta get a move on.
1334
00:58:14,560 --> 00:58:16,560
He's got less than a minute
to get to the buzzer.
1335
00:58:16,640 --> 00:58:18,360
Yes, Rob.
You've got it, Rob!
1336
00:58:18,440 --> 00:58:22,520
Now, this is the weakest that he's
looked on any obstacle so far.
1337
00:58:22,560 --> 00:58:23,680
He's obviously tired.
1338
00:58:23,760 --> 00:58:26,160
He just said to himself then,
"Come on."
1339
00:58:27,000 --> 00:58:29,480
MAN: Yes! Looking good, mate.
1340

FREDDIE FLINTOFF:
Halfway through the grasper.
1341
00:58:32,920 --> 00:58:34,880
You can see it on his face now -
1342
00:58:34,920 --> 00:58:36,480
he's starting to hurt.
1343
00:58:36,560 --> 00:58:40,520
The previous obstacles
that build up getting here...
1344
00:58:40,600 --> 00:58:43,640
As he reaches back,
trying to get that momentum.
1345
00:58:43,720 --> 00:58:47,240
Decides to go further up the pole
as he reaches out.
1346
00:58:47,280 --> 00:58:50,200
Come on, Rob! Do not give up now.
1347
00:58:50,280 --> 00:58:52,520
He's only got
a couple more reaches...
1348
00:58:52,600 --> 00:58:54,640
Don't slide down the pole, Rob.
Oh, he's sliding down, Bec.
1349
00:58:54,680 --> 00:58:55,880
He's sliding down.

The crowd willing him on!
1351
00:58:57,640 --> 00:58:59,840
There's three more poles.
Oh, he's hurting.
1352
00:58:59,920 --> 00:59:03,040
Rob Sandover, from Western Australia,
he's dipping.
1353
00:59:03,120 --> 00:59:05,480
He's getting closer and closer
to the water.
1354
00:59:05,560 --> 00:59:07,080
Oh, oh!
Don't go in, Rob!
1355
00:59:07,160 --> 00:59:08,160
Oh no!
Don't go in!
1356
00:59:08,240 --> 00:59:09,880
He's gone in!

Oh no!
You won't believe it!
1358
00:59:11,760 --> 00:59:16,240
He's just let go at the end.
He couldn't hold his body weight up.
1359
00:59:16,320 --> 00:59:18,760
Oh!
And his foot just touched the water.
1360
00:59:18,800 --> 00:59:20,720
Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.
1361
00:59:21,520 --> 00:59:23,280
What an effort, Rob.
1362
00:59:23,360 --> 00:59:26,640
You could see it on your face.
You could see the pain.
1363
00:59:26,680 --> 00:59:28,000
How was it, mate?
1364
00:59:28,800 --> 00:59:31,120
Tough. I, ah,
I really wanted to get that.
1365
00:59:31,200 --> 00:59:32,600
I really wanted
to get that last one, but...
1366
00:59:33,160 --> 00:59:34,160
just the arms gave out.
1367

I gave it everything,
so it was good.

00:59:35,560 --> 00:59:38,440
Well, mate, we all enjoyed
your work. Unbelievable effort.

Ladies and gentlemen, big round
of applause for Rob Sandover!

00:59:42,680 --> 00:59:44,040
Great effort, mate.
1371
00:59:44,120 --> 00:59:47,560
Oh, it's no consolation
but Rob was out of time
1372
00:59:47,600 --> 00:59:49,400

She's Australia's top all-round

Andrea put on a show of skill
in her heat

01:00:02,080 --> 01:00:04,640
but she couldn't get past
the warped wall.
1378
01:00:04,680 --> 01:00:06,600
She's here to change that tonight.

To make the grand final,
1388
01:00:30,440 --> 01:00:34,280
she needs to complete the course
in under 5:05.
1389
01:00:34,360 --> 01:00:38,120
To do that, she needs to get herself
up the warped wall.

Come on, Andrea!
1391
01:00:39,640 --> 01:00:42,080
This is her chance to create history.

She's light - 57kg.

I just love her style, Andrea Hah.

set by the Afro Ninja,
Travis Edwards.
1418

She's neck and neck with his time.

Come on. You're all over it.
1420
01:01:59,440 --> 01:02:02,000

But this is the moment
she would've had nightmares about.
1424

She wouldn't have been happy
in the heat,
1425
01:02:12,560 --> 01:02:14,240
not completing the warped wall.
1426
01:02:14,320 --> 01:02:16,560
She's here for redemption.
Can she do it?
1427
01:02:16,640 --> 01:02:19,080
Put the hammer down, Andrea.
Come on. Yeah.

And history's against her.
We do need to say that, Bec.
1433
01:02:30,760 --> 01:02:34,200
It took six seasons for a woman
to get up the wall in America.

Hang on a minute! She's done it!
1435
01:02:38,160 --> 01:02:40,280
She'd done it! I can't believe it!

to go up the warped wall.

But there is no time to celebrate.

She's got to keep moving.
1442
01:02:58,840 --> 01:03:03,000
Look at the splits. She's a real
contender to make the top seven.
1443
01:03:03,080 --> 01:03:06,360
She deserves to take a bow,
but the clock is ticking.

She's gotta focus
on the flying shelves.
1445
01:03:11,320 --> 01:03:13,240
Yep!
I wonder whether
1446
01:03:13,320 --> 01:03:16,640
she's even thought about
these obstacles beyond the wall.

01:03:16,680 --> 01:03:18,480
Go big. Yeah, that's the one.
1448

wipes the hands,

I watched the boys go low
to be able to reach the platform,

the platform instead of the water.

01:06:16,680 --> 01:06:20,520
it's Andrea's boyfriend and
the final competitor of the night.
1519
01:06:21,600 --> 01:06:27,040
Can Lee Cossey avenge Andrea's demise
and go onto the grand final?
1520
01:06:27,080 --> 01:06:29,640
Find out right after the break.
1521
01:06:36,280 --> 01:06:38,280
BEN FORDHAM:
Welcome back to Ninja Island,
1522
01:06:38,320 --> 01:06:40,640
where we just saw history made.
1523
01:06:40,720 --> 01:06:45,560
Andrea Hah became the first female
to make it past the warped wall,
1524
01:06:45,640 --> 01:06:50,360
an achievement that took six years
to witness in the USA.
1525
01:06:51,600 --> 01:06:52,880
REBECCA MADDERN: Oh!
Oh, she's done it!
1526
01:06:52,920 --> 01:06:55,240
She's done it! I can't believe it.
1527
01:06:55,280 --> 01:06:56,760
Inspiring stuff.
1528
01:06:56,840 --> 01:06:59,640
Andrea was on course
for a top seven finish,
1529
01:06:59,720 --> 01:07:03,000
but just the tiniest of errors
cruelly robbed her
1530
01:07:03,040 --> 01:07:05,000
of a spot in the grand final.
1531

(BUZZER)
1532
01:07:08,840 --> 01:07:11,840
Oh, what emotions we've witnessed
tonight!
1533
01:07:11,920 --> 01:07:16,560
But now, it's time
for Andrea's boyfriend, Lee,
1534
01:07:16,600 --> 01:07:18,600
the final ninja of the night...
1535
01:07:19,120 --> 01:07:21,960
to tackle
this daunting semifinals course.
1536
01:07:22,000 --> 01:07:23,000
(IN FALSETTO) Whoo-hoo!
1537
01:07:24,200 --> 01:07:28,000
Now, in his heat, Lee Cossey
was the fastest competitor.
1538
01:07:28,080 --> 01:07:31,760
His brother Ben has already advanced
to the grand final tonight,
1539
01:07:31,800 --> 01:07:34,200
and Lee just watched Andrea miss out.
1540
01:07:34,280 --> 01:07:37,240
Surely that's gotta be playing
on his mind right now.
1541
01:07:37,840 --> 01:07:39,560
And, Ben, to add to that pressure -
1542
01:07:39,640 --> 01:07:42,320
for Lee to qualify
for the grand final tonight,
1543
01:07:42,400 --> 01:07:45,200
he must do better than 5:05...
(COUNTDOWN TIMER)
1544
01:07:45,280 --> 01:07:48,480
..set by Travis Edwards,
who hangs on in seventh place.
1545
01:07:49,600 --> 01:07:51,320
BROTHER: Good job!
And this is just the beginning.
1546
01:07:51,360 --> 01:07:52,640
A big challenge ahead.
1547
01:07:53,320 --> 01:07:54,680
This is the log grip.
1548
01:07:58,440 --> 01:08:00,760
Well, if he was feeling the pressure
at the start,
1549
01:08:00,800 --> 01:08:02,440
he's certainly not showing it.
1550
01:08:02,520 --> 01:08:04,440
He's barely broken a sweat.
ANDREA: Come on, Lee.
1551
01:08:04,480 --> 01:08:05,800
He's so focused.
1552
01:08:06,800 --> 01:08:10,480
Whoa! And he has just skipped
right through the spinning log.
1553
01:08:10,520 --> 01:08:12,120
This is a man on a mission.
1554
01:08:13,240 --> 01:08:15,440
ANDREA: Come on, Lee. Go big.
1555
01:08:15,480 --> 01:08:17,920
And now propels himself onto the net.
1556
01:08:18,000 --> 01:08:19,880
Come on, Lee.
Nice and high, Lee.
1557
01:08:21,560 --> 01:08:22,720
Come on.
1558
01:08:22,800 --> 01:08:26,640
And this is an incredible crawling
style, isn't it? Look at him.
1559
01:08:26,720 --> 01:08:29,480
I mean, he's able to grip the net
with his feet at times there.
1560
01:08:29,520 --> 01:08:31,320
It looks like he's got four hands.
1561
01:08:31,360 --> 01:08:34,480
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
1562
01:08:34,560 --> 01:08:36,880
Listen to the crowd.
They're right behind him.
1563
01:08:36,960 --> 01:08:40,120
They wanna see both Cossey brothers
in the final.
1564
01:08:40,160 --> 01:08:41,240
Nice and high.
1565
01:08:42,000 --> 01:08:43,640
ANDREA: Come on, Lee.
1566
01:08:43,720 --> 01:08:47,800
We can't stress enough the pressure
bungee road puts on your forearms.
1567
01:08:47,880 --> 01:08:50,640
Come on. Good work. Come on, Lee.
Good job. Come on.
1568
01:08:50,680 --> 01:08:51,880
Let's have a look here.
1569
01:08:53,120 --> 01:08:55,360
Gets those knees swinging.
ANDREA: Come on, Lee.
1570
01:08:55,440 --> 01:08:57,480
Grips it!
Come on. Come on.
1571
01:08:57,520 --> 01:08:59,840
Now he's on the pipe.
1572
01:09:00,480 --> 01:09:02,640
Nice job.
Awesome, Lee.
1573
01:09:02,720 --> 01:09:04,320
Good job.
Come on.
1574
01:09:04,360 --> 01:09:05,360
Oh...
1575
01:09:05,960 --> 01:09:07,760
makes it!
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
1576
01:09:08,480 --> 01:09:09,840
Take a moment, Lee!
1577
01:09:09,920 --> 01:09:12,760
AUDIENCE: Beat the wall!
Beat the wall! Beat the wall!
1578
01:09:12,840 --> 01:09:16,160
He seems to be the more focused
of the two Cossey brothers.
1579
01:09:16,240 --> 01:09:20,400
What he lacks in flamboyance
he makes up in millimetre precision.
1580
01:09:20,480 --> 01:09:22,480
AUDIENCE: Beat the wall!
Beat the wall!

BEN FORDHAM: There he is!
1582
01:09:23,800 --> 01:09:27,040
Warped wall time, straight up,
Lee Cossey.
1583
01:09:27,120 --> 01:09:28,840
Good job, Lee.
Come on, Lee.
1584
01:09:28,880 --> 01:09:30,600
Three obstacles to go...
1585
01:09:30,680 --> 01:09:33,360
in his semifinal run
on Australian Ninja Warrior.
1586
01:09:34,280 --> 01:09:38,640
The time to make it
into the top seven is 5:05.
1587
01:09:38,720 --> 01:09:40,600
But at the rate Lee's going...
Come on, Lee.
1588
01:09:40,680 --> 01:09:43,960
..he could even beat
the night's fastest time, 3:13,
1589
01:09:44,000 --> 01:09:45,280
set by Ashlin Herbert.
1590
01:09:45,360 --> 01:09:48,160
Whoa! Nice job, Lee.
(BEN FORDHAM LAUGHS)
1591
01:09:48,240 --> 01:09:50,520
He is in the zone.
Go massive.
1592
01:09:50,600 --> 01:09:52,000
ANDREA: Think big, Lee. Come on.
Think big.

Oh!
1594
01:09:56,360 --> 01:09:58,760
OK, this is it, the pole grasper.
1595
01:09:58,840 --> 01:10:02,240
This is where it all came undone
for his girlfriend, Andrea.
1596
01:10:02,280 --> 01:10:04,400
He'll be wary of this obstacle.
1597
01:10:04,440 --> 01:10:06,480
This is quite incredible.
1598
01:10:06,560 --> 01:10:10,480
We are witnessing something
very special here, Ben Fordham.
1599
01:10:10,560 --> 01:10:13,240
That's right.
The 34-year-old from NSW.
1600
01:10:13,320 --> 01:10:16,440
His brother started
to really feel the pain
1601
01:10:16,480 --> 01:10:18,960
at this point on the pole grasper.
1602
01:10:19,040 --> 01:10:22,680
He needs not to make
the same mistake as Andrea.
1603
01:10:22,720 --> 01:10:24,560
He cannot touch the water.
1604
01:10:24,640 --> 01:10:27,480
He cannot lose focus here.
Come on, Lee. Good job.
1605
01:10:27,560 --> 01:10:31,680
Come on, Lee. Lift those legs.
Lift those legs!
1606
01:10:31,760 --> 01:10:34,120
Oh!
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
1607
01:10:34,200 --> 01:10:35,560
Yes! He got there!
Awesome!
1608
01:10:35,640 --> 01:10:39,800
He's just one step away from joining
his brother Ben in the final.
1609
01:10:39,840 --> 01:10:41,320
Race up it, Lee. Come on.
1610
01:10:41,400 --> 01:10:42,600
You got it.
OK.
1611
01:10:42,640 --> 01:10:44,560
Come on, Lee. He's a rock-climber.
1612
01:10:44,640 --> 01:10:47,640
I predict that he will take
the rock-climbing stance - no!
1613
01:10:47,680 --> 01:10:49,240
He's gone front-on.
1614
01:10:49,320 --> 01:10:51,360
The legs, the arms are pushing.
Come on!

The legs are working.
The arms are burning.
1616
01:10:54,480 --> 01:10:56,800
He's almost at the seventh floor.
1617
01:10:56,840 --> 01:10:59,000
And he's almost on the top.
