00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:02,240
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
2
00:00:02,320 --> 00:00:06,160
BEN FORDHAM: Over five breathtaking
qualifying heats,
3
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:09,880
Australian Ninja Warrior history
has been rewritten.
4
00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:11,080
BEN: What? What?
5
00:00:11,120 --> 00:00:14,560
REBECCA MADDERN: Oh, my goodness!
6
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:18,400
Our returning heroes have taken
things to a whole new level...
7
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:21,520
REBECCA: You have set this island
on fire!
8
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:23,280
BEN: You ripper!
9
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:27,040
..with powerhouse first-time ninjas
hot on their heels.
10
00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:29,200
REBECCA: That was spectacular!
11
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:31,440
BEN: But for some
of our most promising...
12
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:32,560
FREDDIE FLINTOFF: Oh! Oh!
13
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:34,240
..one missed step...
14
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:35,800
REBECCA: Oh!
BEN: Oh, no!
15
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:37,000
Everybody is shocked.
16
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:38,720
..has spelled disaster.
17
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:43,720
BEN: Tonight, the sixth
and final qualifying heat,
18
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:45,920
and just 20 semifinal places remain.
19
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:47,120
I might only be 18
20
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:48,680
but I'm going to slam dunk
this course.
21
00:00:49,160 --> 00:00:51,000
BEN: Hoping to stake their claim,
22
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:54,120
the original Aussie Bachelor,
Tim Robards...
23
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:56,120
I'm back this year because I know
I can do it.
24
00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:58,440
..the robot warrior, Rob Patterson,
25
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:02,240
who took fifth last year
but is determined to go further...
26
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:03,920
Man, it's going to be so much fun.
27
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:06,160
..and Bronson Norrish.
28
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:07,640
I'm 120 kg.
29
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:10,560
Our heaviest ninja ever.
30
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:12,160
Here to prove that big boys can fly.
31
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:13,720
Plus, back at last,
32
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:17,800
season one's juggernauts,
the Blue Mountains rock climbers.
33
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:20,280
We're back to conquer
Mount Midoriyama.
34
00:01:20,320 --> 00:01:22,240
The Cossey brothers, Lee and Ben.
35
00:01:22,960 --> 00:01:25,240
The unbelievable Tom O'Halloran
36
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:28,080
and the legend that is Andrea Hah.
37
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:30,760
Last year, I was the only female
to make it up the warped wall.
38
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:33,600
Can she write history again?
39
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:37,840
We're about to find out
on Australian Ninja Warrior.
40
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:39,040
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
41
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:46,720
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
42
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,080
REBECCA: Welcome once again
to Ninja Island.
43
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:53,360
I'm Rebecca Maddern.
44
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:54,560
I'm Freddie Flintoff.
45
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:58,120
And I'm Ben Fordham and tonight,
we have another contingent
46
00:01:58,160 --> 00:01:59,880
of super-fit athletes
47
00:01:59,960 --> 00:02:03,320
ready to take on
the world's toughest obstacle course.
48
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:06,440
REBECCA: Among them,
four of last season's biggest names.
49
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:08,520
The Blue Mountains rock climbers:
50
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:11,760
Andrea Hah,
first woman up the warped wall,
51
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:14,400
Tom O'Halloran,
last year's runner-up,
52
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:17,000
and the Cossey brothers,
Ben and Lee.
53
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:20,360
BEN: Speaking of mountains,
few come bigger than this bloke.
54
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:21,800
Heading the newcomers,
55
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,480
the heaviest ninja
in the competition,
56
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:27,120
120 kegs of him,
57
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:28,440
Bronson Norrish.
58
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:31,600
There's also this season's
youngest competitor:
59
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:35,840
18-year-old basketballer,
Tatyanna Pogonza-Dumas.
60
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:37,560
REBECCA: And remember this bloke?
61
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:39,880
The Bachelor, Tim Robards is back.
62
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:42,000
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
63
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:47,640
Now, this year our prize
jackpots to $200,000.
64
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:51,320
But our ninjas are going to have
to conquer tonight's obstacles
65
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:52,880
for a chance at the finals.
66
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,520
There are some old foes
and some new ones.
67
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:57,040
Let's take a look.
68
00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:58,760
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
69
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,440
BEN: First up,
the familiar quintuple steps.
70
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:05,280
One missed step and you're wet.
71
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:09,840
In all of the heats,
obstacle two is about coordination.
72
00:03:09,920 --> 00:03:13,080
Tonight,
it's the bungee slider to bullet.
73
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:15,760
(BUZZER)
74
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:17,760
Obstacle three, the bridge of blades.
75
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:19,640
It needs fast feet and balance
76
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:22,520
in the race to beat
the spinning board blades.
77
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:25,920
REBECCA: The swing to cargo net
makes its debut.
78
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:29,960
A deceptively simple looking swing
out to the cargo net,
79
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:31,920
then climb down to safety.
80
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:34,920
Next, the double tilt ladder
81
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,360
saps the last
of the ninjas' grip strength
82
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:39,880
as they climb across two ladders
83
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,400
with a massive transition
in between.
84
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:45,840
Finally, the stairway to heaven.
85
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:48,120
The warped wall.
86
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:50,080
Get up it...
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
87
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:51,480
..hit the buzzer...
(HORN SOUNDS)
88
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:53,160
..and you're done.
89
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:54,360
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
90
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:57,600
BEN: It's the top 20
91
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:00,320
who go the furthest and fastest
tonight
92
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:02,120
that will make it through
to the semifinals.
93
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:05,400
REBECCA: The ninjas are here.
94
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:06,720
They're pumped.
95
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:09,800
So, let's bring out
our first competitor of the night.
96
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:11,440
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
97
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:15,280
BEN: Well, last year,
98
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:18,240
the original Australian Bachelor,
Tim Robards,
99
00:04:18,280 --> 00:04:20,280
fell afoul of the cargo net.
100
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:25,840
But this year, he's ready to go
and in peak physical shape as always.
101
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:29,720
Let's give it up, Ninja Island,
for Tim Robards.
102
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:31,280
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
103
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:33,480
Go, Tim!
104
00:04:37,280 --> 00:04:39,840
TIM: Last year, there was
so much extra added pressure.
105
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:42,000
'Cause I have a bit of a profile,
106
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:44,040
walking with all the other guys,
I think they're like,
107
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:45,080
you know, "Is this guy here"
108
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:46,640
"just 'cause he's done stuff on TV"
109
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:47,880
"or is he actually"
110
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:48,920
"Ninja Warrior worthy?"
111
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:51,040
I think I proved myself.
112
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:52,800
I got through a few good obstacles.
113
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:54,840
BEN: He's tucked himself
right in on the pole
114
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:56,000
and that's perfect,
115
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:57,240
and he's off!
116
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:00,480
Last year, I had a bicep
reattachment surgery
117
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:01,800
right before Ninja Warrior.
118
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:05,320
I can't let my arm bend
much past 90 degrees.
119
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,120
This year, I'm feeling
more confident.
120
00:05:09,840 --> 00:05:13,080
My arm's healed up well
so there's no excuses on that.
121
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:15,000
But, um... Yeah, still nervous.
122
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:17,960
I'm back this year
because I know I can do it.
123
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:21,400
I know I can get through at least
the heat and that's my goal.
124
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:23,480
I just really want to get through
the first heat.
125
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:27,120
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
126
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:29,760
It looks like he's been filtered
and photoshopped.
127
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:32,520
AUDIENCE (CHANTING): Tim! Tim! Tim!
128
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:35,320
Did somebody give birth to him
or was he grown in a lab?
129
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,320
Jesus Christ! What chance
have we got?
130
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,040
BEN: And his new wife Anna
watching on.
131
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,320
You can do it!
BEN: Heat six, here we go!
132
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:47,480
(STARTER TONE)
133
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:49,320
REBECCA: Tim Robards hears
the buzzer
134
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:54,800
and makes his season two
Australian Ninja Warrior debut.
135
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:58,960
He's 35 years of age
and he's always ready to go.
136
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:01,000
He's always
in peak physical fitness.
137
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:04,160
BEN: Now, a new one,
bungee slider to bullet.
138
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,560
This is something you'll never
come across in your life.
139
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:09,200
Got to figure it out quick.
140
00:06:09,280 --> 00:06:11,080
BEN: Yeah, he's got to ride
that bungee down
141
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:12,320
and lache to the bullet.
142
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:13,440
How's he going to go?
143
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:14,560
ANNA: You've got this!
144
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:18,400
BEN: Grabs a hold of it.
REBECCA: Yes.
145
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:20,200
BEN: Makes the transition.
Go, Tim!
146
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:22,120
Just need to get onto the mat, Tim.
147
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:23,240
He has!
148
00:06:23,280 --> 00:06:24,520
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
149
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:30,120
REBECCA: Now, he bolted
over the bridge of blades,
150
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:31,920
if you remember last year,
151
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:34,560
so he's hoping to repeat history.
152
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:36,600
FREDDIE: Doesn't need to hesitate.
153
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:38,600
Just go for it, Tim!
154
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:40,800
BEN: Tim Robards,
the first ever Bachelor...
155
00:06:40,840 --> 00:06:41,840
REBECCA: Yes!
156
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:43,600
..and he's through
the bridge of blades.
157
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:46,000
BEN: Oh, hang on.
REBECCA: Ooh.
158
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:48,200
He's just started clutching
the back of the knee.
159
00:06:48,280 --> 00:06:51,240
Oh, Ben, it looks like to me
it's a hamstring.
160
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:54,360
He's just had a quick look
over at his fiancee, Anna.
161
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:57,880
Looking a little worried
and that is not a great thing to do
162
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:01,000
when you're just about to jump
onto the swing to cargo net.
163
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:03,840
Yeah, you've got to jump
off that swing to the net.
164
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:07,240
If he can't push off that leg,
he might be in some trouble here.
165
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:10,520
This is a new obstacle
and I reckon easy to underestimate.
166
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:14,040
When you jump,
you're pushing off an unstable base.
167
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:16,440
There! He's got it! Good catch.
168
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:19,160
Now, he's got to work
his way down the net
169
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:22,160
and this will test
that dodgy hammy too.
170
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:24,040
Come on!
171
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:26,480
FREDDIE: He's looking good so far.
172
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:27,600
Good style, good technique.
173
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:29,400
Keep them shoulders up, Tim.
174
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:30,920
Don't let them shoulders drop.
175
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:34,160
Reaching round. Interesting tactic
but it's working.
176
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:35,760
ANNA: Keep going, Tim!
REBECCA: It's tight.
177
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:38,640
Only 90 cm between the net
and the water.
178
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:41,120
Oh, Tim just dropping a little bit
but he's fine.
179
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:42,320
REBECCA: Come on, Tim!
180
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:44,000
BEN: He's home.
REBECCA: One foot.
181
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:45,080
He's hosed.
182
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:46,120
The second foot.
183
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:47,720
He's OK.
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
184
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:49,240
FREDDIE: Thumbs up from Anna.
185
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:51,000
He's again pointing...
Yeah.
186
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:52,960
..to Anna that he reckons
he might have a problem
187
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:54,160
with the back of his leg there.
188
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:58,040
He's in real trouble
with the hamstring, I think.
189
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:00,680
But thankfully, the next obstacle
190
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:03,000
really only requires
upper-body strength.
191
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:06,000
It does, Beck, but in a big, big way.
192
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:07,440
Double tilt ladders.
193
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:10,520
His arms will be shot
after the cargo net
194
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:12,000
and now he's got to climb this.
195
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:14,920
Yes, Tim! Come on!
196
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:16,640
REBECCA: Well, no sign
of fatigue yet.
197
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:17,920
ANNA: Tim, you can do this!
198
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:21,440
Have a look at his biceps
and his triceps.
199
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:23,240
He is a machine.
200
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:28,000
BEN: Now, this is a tough transfer
up the second ladder
201
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:29,800
because they move around on you.
202
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:32,200
BEN: Oh!
REBECCA: Oh!
203
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:34,480
Gee, this thing is cruel.
204
00:08:34,560 --> 00:08:37,200
He was able to hang on
to that original ladder.
205
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:39,560
Anyone else, I reckon,
would've ended up in the drink.
206
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:41,360
For sure.
Oh, and he had to throw it away.
207
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:42,760
(BUZZER)
208
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:43,840
That's alright.
209
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:45,840
He's gone at the second last
obstacle.
210
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:47,880
Well done, Tim Robards.
211
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:51,800
REBECCA: This is where Tim
got into strife.
212
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:54,600
The explosive take-off needed
for the bridge of blades
213
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:56,280
was too much for his hammy.
214
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:58,200
He's battled on well
215
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:01,280
but after one good shot
at the ladder transfer,
216
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:02,960
he just had nothing left.
217
00:09:04,680 --> 00:09:06,040
Tim, that was an amazing effort.
218
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:07,680
Well done, mate.
219
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:09,560
You went further than last year
but at one point
220
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:11,280
you were just rubbing the back
of your hamstring.
221
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:12,320
Everything alright?
222
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:13,880
Mate, I tore it about six weeks ago.
223
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:16,960
I've been training my butt off
to rehab it
224
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:18,640
and it went on the bridge of blades.
225
00:09:18,680 --> 00:09:20,200
It just went twang.
226
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:21,400
So, ah...
227
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:22,640
Yeah.
228
00:09:22,680 --> 00:09:24,320
There's a little bruise coming up.
229
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:26,160
You've got a chance of getting
through to the semis
230
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:27,640
depending on the rest
of the competitors
231
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:29,960
but the big question is,
will you be fit?
232
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:32,520
Um, mate, I'm sure
I'll just grit my teeth
233
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:35,120
and with the crowd going behind me,
that was great.
234
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:37,320
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
Thanks so much. It got me through
235
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:39,520
and that just makes
such a big difference.
236
00:09:39,560 --> 00:09:40,800
Thanks, guys.
237
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:42,160
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
238
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:43,720
Ladies and gentlemen, Tim Robards.
239
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:45,480
Well done, buddy.
Great effort, mate.
240
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:46,920
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
241
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:54,480
BEN: Now, the wait is over.
242
00:09:54,560 --> 00:09:58,200
Last year, Australia was in awe
of their brilliance.
243
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:00,560
The Blue Mountains rock climbers.
244
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:03,240
All four are back with one aim.
245
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:06,880
To lead the race
to this course's highest heights.
246
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:14,360
BEN COSSEY:
We're the climbing ninjas
247
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:16,960
and we're back
to conquer Mount Midoriyama.
248
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,000
BEN: And there he is!
249
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:22,760
REBECCA: Oh!
BEN: She's done it!
250
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:24,000
Look at that!
251
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:26,840
I like what I'm seeing!
Yes, yes, yes!
252
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:28,440
FREDDIE: Oh, yes, Ben!
253
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:30,160
Never give up!
254
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:31,480
Never give up!
255
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:34,400
I think us as a little team of four,
256
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:36,200
like, you'd want to feel like,
257
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:38,880
yeah, we're doing climbers proud
258
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:41,200
everywhere in the world.
259
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:44,360
Both the physical side of climbing
260
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:45,760
and the mental side of climbing
261
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:47,240
really translates quite well
262
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:48,680
into that Ninja Warrior course
263
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:52,160
in terms of just keeping calm
under pressure
264
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:55,040
and doing your absolute very best.
265
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:59,040
BEN: It took six seasons for a woman
to get up the wall in America.
266
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:01,680
Hang on a minute! She's done it!
267
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:03,800
She's done it! I can't believe it!
268
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:05,960
ANDREA: Of course, I'd really like
to do better than last time
269
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:07,000
but at the same time,
270
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:09,240
the course is really hard
and for each obstacle,
271
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:10,360
I feel like, you know,
272
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:12,000
you got a little bit lucky
each time.
273
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:14,200
BEN: Hang on!
274
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:16,160
TOM: And you've also kind of got
pressure on yourself
275
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:20,800
because you've performed last year
and you want to do better than that.
276
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:23,320
LEE: If there's anyone that we're
kind of backing more than ourselves,
277
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:24,800
it's... it's each other.
278
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:27,680
'Climbing Ninjas'
has a good ring to it
279
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:31,880
but 'Cossey Posse' is probably
a little bit more kind of Old West.
280
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:33,040
(CLICKS TONGUE)
281
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:34,520
(LAUGHS)
282
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:37,880
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
283
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:39,280
REBECCA: Here we go.
284
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:41,120
The first of the Cossey Posse.
285
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:42,400
Ben Cossey.
286
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:45,720
He made stage one
of the grand final last year.
287
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:46,840
Come on, Ben!
288
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:49,000
BEN: I've been waiting a year
for this.
289
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:50,600
These guys set the bar.
290
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:52,800
What's Ben got for us tonight?
291
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:54,000
(STARTER TONE)
292
00:11:54,560 --> 00:11:57,440
Ben Cossey is back.
293
00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:00,040
And we know he doesn't take
too much seriously
294
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,000
but he needs to switch on.
295
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:03,320
Come on, Ben!
296
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:05,600
FREDDIE: I don't care
how good you are, how fit you are.
297
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:07,400
This is a tough, tough obstacle.
298
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:08,960
REBECCA: Here he goes.
299
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:11,520
FREDDIE: Yes. Great work,
Ben Cossey.
300
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:13,280
BEN: He's got that bullet.
301
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:17,400
REBECCA: Now, a big thing about Ben
is that he always looks so relaxed.
302
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:18,640
Look at him just hanging there.
303
00:12:18,680 --> 00:12:19,960
He's back in the zone.
304
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:21,000
ANDREA: Come on, Ben!
305
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:23,800
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
BEN: Well done, Ben Cossey!
306
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:25,720
Steady.
307
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:28,000
Onto the bridge of blades now.
308
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:31,320
And jets through it!
309
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:33,320
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
310
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:34,720
REBECCA: Turns the corner.
311
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:37,160
Swing to cargo net now.
312
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:39,440
Oh, throws his Freddie Mercury
T-shirt off.
313
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:41,440
I wanted that. I'm a fan myself.
314
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:44,000
Tucks his shorts in.
315
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:46,320
Not a great look
but very functional.
316
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:48,640
BEN: Well, you can't afford
to get wet.
317
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:51,640
You get under that cargo net,
there's not a lot of space.
318
00:12:51,680 --> 00:12:53,480
That's a good take-off so far.
319
00:12:53,560 --> 00:12:55,440
REBECCA: It's a very good take-off
on the swing.
320
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:57,040
BEN: Oh, wow!
FREDDIE: Oh, Ben!
321
00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:58,480
REBECCA: Oh, no!
322
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:00,920
Ben Cossey could be out.
323
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:02,640
Nobody saw that coming.
324
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:05,440
Just panicked trying to get off
the swing onto the cargo.
325
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:08,560
BEN: And you can have a look
at the reactions of his support crew.
326
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:11,000
They can't quite believe
what's happened here.
327
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:13,120
And watch this.
328
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:15,480
Ben is nowhere near the net.
329
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:17,400
Diving forward
330
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:20,440
as the swing was pushing back.
331
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:22,280
Disaster.
332
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:26,400
Mate!
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
333
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:28,040
That was, ah...
334
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:29,640
Ben!
..spectacular.
335
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:32,520
It all went wrong when you took
the Freddie Mercury T-shirt off.
336
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:34,960
Well, it makes sense. Yeah, yeah.
337
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:36,360
I knew it was going to go wrong.
338
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:38,120
Can you put your finger
on what happened?
339
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:39,640
I fell in the water. Yeah.
340
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:41,320
That's why I'm wet.
341
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:42,600
I gathered that.
342
00:13:42,680 --> 00:13:44,880
Any particular reason
or you just fancied a dip?
343
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:48,440
No, yeah. I think I expected
too much of Mr Swing there
344
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:51,080
and just pushed down with my feet
345
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:52,800
and came a cropper.
346
00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:55,960
Well, ladies and gentlemen,
Ben Cossey!
347
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:57,000
Unlucky, pal.
348
00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:58,080
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
349
00:13:58,120 --> 00:13:59,120
Thanks, guys.
350
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:00,320
Oh!
351
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:05,160
REBECCA: Oh, I think we need
a bit of time to absorb that.
352
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:10,560
Ben Cossey, in deep trouble
and might not make the semis.
353
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:14,080
The other climbers
will be hoping to do better soon.
354
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:17,120
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
355
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:21,000
BEN: Coming up:
356
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:24,120
Adam Eyles was diagnosed
with cystic fibrosis
357
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:26,040
when he was eight months old.
358
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:27,360
ADAM: One of the things
I do remember
359
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:29,680
is hearing my brother say
to one of his friends quietly,
360
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:32,000
"Yeah, my brother, you know,
he won't live very long."
361
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:34,160
"He won't live to be a teenager
sort of thing."
362
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:38,760
REBECCA: Olympic hopeful,
Isabella Rositano has power to burn.
363
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:40,200
COACH: Izzy's not afraid
of hard work.
364
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:41,800
She just gets in there
and gets it done.
365
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:44,160
Whatever the task is,
she keeps going till it's finished.
366
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:46,920
BEN: And one of him
367
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:49,400
equals two of him.
368
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:50,880
(LAUGHS)
369
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:53,480
Next, the Furbinator.
370
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:56,880
This heat's lightest male ninja,
371
00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:59,080
ready to show the big boys
how it's done.
372
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:12,120
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
373
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:14,120
Welcome back
to Australian Ninja Warrior
374
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:15,480
and heat six.
375
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:19,080
The last chance for ninjas
to qualify for the semifinals.
376
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:22,200
REBECCA: Only the top 20 go through
377
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:25,680
and right now, Ben Cossey
will be crossing his fingers
378
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:28,240
after crashing out
on the swing to cargo net.
379
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:30,920
Tim Robards is better placed
380
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:33,440
after making it
to the second last obstacle,
381
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:35,000
the double tilt ladder.
382
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:40,600
BEN: Next up,
an absolute powerhouse.
383
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:44,960
She's an aspiring Olympic canoeist
and elite rower
384
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:46,720
who thrives on a challenge.
385
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:49,720
Isabella Rositano.
386
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:51,760
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
387
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:02,440
ISABELLA: I spend every single day
388
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:05,640
doing something which will improve
me as a sprint canoeist.
389
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:09,400
I do absolutely everything I can
in my power
390
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:11,160
to make sure
that when the day comes,
391
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:12,760
I'm in the best shape I can be.
392
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:20,160
GARY: Izzy's not afraid
of hard work.
393
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:21,800
She just gets in there
and gets it done.
394
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:23,040
Whatever the task is,
395
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:24,520
she keeps going till it's finished.
396
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:30,240
I do have an alter ego
who is a mad rap artist
397
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:32,360
who just spits rhymes all the time.
398
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:35,320
I can conquer any obstacle
without no drama.
399
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:37,600
My next one's going to be
Mount Midoriyama.
400
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:40,840
REBECCA: Well, look out.
401
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:42,480
She's got plenty of energy.
402
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:43,680
(STARTER TONE)
403
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:45,400
Team Izzy there, cheering her on.
404
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:47,360
IZZY: Aussie, Aussie, Aussie!
AUDIENCE: Oi! Oi! Oi!
405
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:48,400
BEN: Come on, Izzy!
406
00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:50,640
And here we go.
407
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:53,520
If she wants to be on the world stage
at the Olympic Games,
408
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:56,040
then this is going to be a good way
409
00:16:56,120 --> 00:17:00,920
of getting ready for that level
of competition and also awareness.
410
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:02,040
It's a big step up
411
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:04,400
just like it's a big step
across these gaps
412
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:06,880
for someone who's 5'5".
413
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:09,760
Right now, it's...
REBECCA: (LAUGHS)
414
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:12,720
..about the bungee slider to bullet.
415
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:17,240
REBECCA: Oh, isn't she loving this?
416
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:18,680
She grabs the bungee now.
417
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:20,560
It's a very low grip.
418
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:24,320
Here she goes for the ride
of her life.
419
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:26,280
BEN: Come on, Isabella!
420
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:28,640
No! Splashdown.
421
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:30,840
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
422
00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:33,280
She's still celebrating though.
423
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:35,040
And you spotted it, Beck.
424
00:17:35,120 --> 00:17:38,800
The lower you grab the bungee,
the more they stretch,
425
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:40,440
and as Izzy rode it down,
426
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:43,440
that sudden stretch
made it impossible to hold on.
427
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:47,520
Let's hope the Olympic career
goes a bit better than that.
428
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:50,160
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
429
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:53,960
REBECCA: Now, there's
a great mini competition
430
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:55,280
going on tonight.
431
00:17:55,360 --> 00:17:58,320
Later, we'll be seeing
our heaviest competitor:
432
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:03,040
120 kg of brawn
named Bronson Norrish.
433
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:07,320
But can all that muscle
beat our heat's lightest male?
434
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:12,360
At just 58 kg, Stewart Furze
reckons he's got the edge.
435
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:14,000
I'm Australia's next Ninja Warrior.
436
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:22,000
STEWART: I'm a mechanical engineer
437
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:24,720
and for fun I work on cars.
438
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:31,000
Back when I used to do a little bit
of competitive motorsport,
439
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:33,760
one of the commentators
came up with the name 'Furbinator'
440
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:36,360
because it sort of sounded
incredibly intimidating
441
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:37,560
and then all of a sudden,
442
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:39,200
this tiny little guy
gets out of the car.
443
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:43,360
I'm not very tanned,
I don't have big muscles.
444
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:47,840
I think people probably won't take
me too seriously to start with.
445
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:50,640
I'm gonna go. I'm going to race
this weekend as well.
446
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:52,480
He might be small
447
00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:53,840
but he's also...
448
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:57,440
He's very good at using strength
which would be...
449
00:18:57,480 --> 00:18:58,760
Um...
450
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:00,000
Power to weight ratio.
451
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:01,040
Yeah, that.
452
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:02,280
(LAUGHS)
453
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:07,960
In athletic things like football
or basketball
454
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:11,160
or something like that, you know,
the bigger guys are always favoured.
455
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:14,800
When it comes to motorsport
or ninja, you know,
456
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:16,360
that's not necessarily the case
457
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:18,200
and I guess I've always been out
to prove that.
458
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:20,240
(TYRES SCREECHING)
459
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:28,440
REBECCA: Furby says it's all about
power to weight ratio.
460
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:31,920
He's got very little weight,
so I hope he's got some power.
461
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:32,960
Do it! Do it!
462
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:35,920
BEN: His partner Ashanti,
sister Jess, mum Glenys.
463
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:38,600
(STARTER TONE)
464
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:42,160
REBECCA: The Furbinator. Here he is.
465
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:45,360
Our lightest male ninja.
466
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:49,680
58 kg and 5'5".
467
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:53,600
BEN: And look at the focus.
468
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:55,320
It's the Furbinator focus.
469
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:01,320
FREDDIE: All up for the Furbinator!
470
00:20:01,360 --> 00:20:02,720
REBECCA: It's a good start, Freddie.
471
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:04,000
Just needs to get swinging now.
472
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:05,240
It's great style.
473
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:08,520
BEN: So far so good, but it's
still a big swing to safety.
474
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:09,680
Build the momentum.
475
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:13,440
Yes!
476
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:14,480
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
477
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:15,760
Nice work, Furby.
478
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:18,560
Now, the bridge of blades.
479
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:19,800
You'll want to be light here.
480
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:22,920
REBECCA: Well, I like
what I'm seeing so far
481
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:24,920
and he skips through
the bridge of blades.
482
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:26,960
Pretty heavy landing
but he recovers.
483
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:28,320
ASHANTI: Come on, Stewart!
484
00:20:28,360 --> 00:20:29,520
You got this!
485
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:32,080
The Furbinator
takes off his T-shirt.
486
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:35,640
He's ready for business.
487
00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:36,840
Come on, Stewart!
488
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:39,240
BEN: Don't forget Ben Cossey
was ready for business, too,
489
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:42,560
and it didn't quite work out,
but let's pump up the Furbinator!
490
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:44,600
Let's go, Furby!
491
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:46,160
FREDDIE: Swinging away,
getting closer.
492
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:47,960
Great technique from the Furbinator.
493
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:49,480
This lad's a contender,
I'm telling you.
494
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:51,800
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
This lad is a contender.
495
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:55,640
REBECCA: Yes, but there is
a long way to go.
496
00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:59,480
GLENYS: Keep your back up!
Keep it up! Keep up! Up, up!
497
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:01,200
Keep it up high!
498
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:03,560
REBECCA: I tell you what though.
What he lacks in size,
499
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:06,840
he is certainly making up for
in pure guts.
500
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:08,800
He is not going to quit, is he?
501
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:11,000
BEN: I thought he'd be running
out of puff by now.
502
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:12,400
But he's not. Not at all.
503
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:14,880
BEN: Look at him.
REBECCA: I don't how he did that.
504
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:16,240
Like he was stuck in a spider's web.
505
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:17,440
I don't know how he did that.
506
00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:21,960
The swing to cargo net's done
and now the double tilt ladders.
507
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:23,680
Come on, Furbinator.
508
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:25,640
Come on, Furbinator.
509
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:27,400
I think he can hear us up here.
510
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:29,880
This is a sensational run.
511
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:33,080
He's a good climber.
512
00:21:33,120 --> 00:21:34,520
He's got good technique.
513
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:36,840
He's a natural, that's what he is.
514
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:40,920
REBECCA: Oh...
515
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:43,320
BEN: He's going to be fine here,
Beck.
516
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:47,280
Well, he's got a big leap
but he hasn't got a big wingspan,
517
00:21:47,360 --> 00:21:49,960
so it's a mighty leap
to that next rung...
518
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:52,320
Yes! Oh, he's strong.
..but he does make that transition.
519
00:21:52,360 --> 00:21:55,720
He is really strong and only 58 kg,
520
00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:59,080
and he's strong enough to go
all the way in this competition.
521
00:21:59,120 --> 00:22:01,040
Just two rungs to go.
522
00:22:01,120 --> 00:22:02,720
REBECCA: Oh!
BEN: Oh!
523
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:03,760
(BUZZER)
You know what?
524
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:06,160
That was just unlucky.
525
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:07,400
It was unlucky.
526
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:09,800
It wasn't a case of him losing
strength. He missed it.
527
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:12,200
REBECCA: The Furbinator
528
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:14,200
throws the arms up to the crowd,
529
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:15,800
celebrates the moment.
530
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:18,080
As if to say, "I'll be back."
531
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:22,280
And you can see here
how close the Furbinator came.
532
00:22:22,360 --> 00:22:25,040
He just missed his grip
with his left hand.
533
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:29,000
And he didn't have enough strength,
sadly, to hold on.
534
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:31,520
Stewart, that was an amazing effort.
535
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:33,040
You're the lightest man
on the course.
536
00:22:33,120 --> 00:22:34,720
Do you think that was working
for you?
537
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:35,840
Definitely.
538
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:39,960
Bridge of blades,
that's an advantage to be my weight.
539
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:41,480
So, yeah.
540
00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:43,000
Fantastic effort, I think, for me.
541
00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:45,040
So... Oh, I'm buggered now.
542
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:47,800
Ladies and gentlemen,
the Furbinator!
543
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:49,840
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
Well done, mate. Great effort.
544
00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:51,120
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
545
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:53,600
REBECCA: Time for a break
but stay right where you are
546
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:56,040
because there's
more incredible action ahead
547
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:57,600
here on Ninja Island.
548
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:00,760
BEN: Still to come,
549
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:03,840
Australian fencing champion,
Amy Reynolds,
550
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:05,120
on the comeback trail.
551
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:10,400
I've learned that pain is only pain
and that willpower is everything.
552
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:12,760
BEN: He's king of the dance world,
553
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:16,720
but can muso Rory Garton-Smith
work his moves here?
554
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:19,000
RORY: I've sort of become
used to being in front of crowds
555
00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:21,560
that are up to
maybe 15,000 to 20,000 people.
556
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:23,960
But having said that,
when I get up there tonight,
557
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:25,920
I'm telling you now,
I'm going to be terrified.
558
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:27,080
BEN: Andrea Hah,
559
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:30,800
the only woman to make it
up the warped wall last year.
560
00:23:33,120 --> 00:23:34,800
Hang on a minute! She's done it!
561
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:37,120
She's done it! I can't believe it!
562
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:39,440
REBECCA: And up next,
Tom O'Halloran,
563
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:42,160
the second
of our Blue Mountains climbers,
564
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:45,920
fired up to make amends
for Ben Cossey's early exit.
565
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:48,000
You saw me get to the grand final
last year
566
00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:50,160
and I'm psyched
to go even harder this year.
567
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:04,960
BEN: Welcome back to Ninja Island
568
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:07,880
where the second
of the Blue Mountains rock climbers
569
00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:09,680
is about to take the course.
570
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:12,680
Tom O'Halloran
was the best performer
571
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:15,160
of the Blue Mountains climbers
last year,
572
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:18,880
finishing second overall
behind Fred Dorrington.
573
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:22,520
Come on, Tom!
574
00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:24,520
REBECCA: And there's Tom's wife,
Amanda,
575
00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:26,320
and little gorgeous Audrey,
576
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:28,280
along with the rest
of the climbing crew.
577
00:24:28,360 --> 00:24:29,920
AUDIENCE (CHANTING): Let's go!
Let's go, Tom!
578
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:31,200
(STARTER TONE)
579
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:32,240
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
580
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:35,080
We welcome Tom O'Halloran
to season two.
581
00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:37,480
Come on, Tom! Come on!
582
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:40,240
FREDDIE: Physique-wise, perfect
for this Ninja Warrior course.
583
00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:43,200
BEN: 5'11", 67 kg.
584
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:44,840
FREDDIE: Height and strong,
585
00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:46,840
and agile, more importantly.
586
00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:49,280
Oh, look at that, look at that.
587
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:50,760
AMANDA: Come on, Tom!
588
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:52,320
REBECCA: Got a transfer here.
589
00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:54,680
One swing.
590
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:55,720
Nicely done.
591
00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:57,080
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
592
00:24:57,120 --> 00:24:58,120
Bridge of blades.
593
00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:01,120
Oh, he's too good! Too good!
594
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:03,200
He's doing a good time, too, Beck.
595
00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:04,240
Come on, Tom!
596
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:10,880
Yeah, good idea, Tom.
Take that T-shirt off.
597
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:13,080
REBECCA: (LAUGHS)
598
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:15,840
Well, Ben Cossey did that, too,
but we know how that ended.
599
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:17,400
BEN: Here he goes
on the swing to cargo.
600
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:18,440
Big swing!
601
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:19,720
Yeah, watch the feet!
Come on!
602
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:20,760
Good one!
603
00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:22,880
BEN: Look at him sticking the head
out and thinking,
604
00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:25,800
"OK, that's what I've got to grab
a hold of."
605
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:27,920
REBECCA: Come on, Tom.
606
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:29,080
Yes, got it.
607
00:25:29,120 --> 00:25:30,200
Not a bad technique.
608
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:31,960
He took the swing
all the way to the net.
609
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:33,120
He didn't even have to jump.
610
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:34,680
Come on, Tom! Come on!
611
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:36,920
Have a look at the physicality
of this guy.
612
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:39,680
He is so lean and light.
613
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:41,080
Nice and high!
Yeah, stay high!
614
00:25:41,120 --> 00:25:42,280
Higher!
615
00:25:42,360 --> 00:25:44,120
REBECCA: There is not an ounce
of fat.
616
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:46,520
Freddie, how good is this guy?
617
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:48,800
Oh, he's just breezed
underneath the cargo net.
618
00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:49,880
This is fast.
619
00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:51,480
This is so fast.
620
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:53,800
REBECCA: To the double tilt ladder.
621
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:55,320
Sizes it up.
622
00:25:55,360 --> 00:25:57,240
Like he's on a rock face.
623
00:25:57,280 --> 00:25:59,680
No one has beaten this obstacle yet.
624
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:01,880
And he's up.
625
00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:03,320
BEN: And he's on his way.
626
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:06,320
This is where the climbers
really shine.
627
00:26:06,360 --> 00:26:07,960
Come on! Come on, Tom!
628
00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:10,160
FREDDIE: Look at the control,
look at the poise.
629
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:11,520
Looks at home on these.
630
00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:13,160
AUDREY: Come on, Daddy!
631
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:15,560
He's making it look
a little bit too easy.
632
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:17,160
BEN: It ain't easy, Freddie.
633
00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:20,720
This is a massive transfer
up to that second ladder.
634
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:22,520
FREDDIE: Oh, hang on!
BEN: Whoa!
635
00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:23,960
REBECCA: Oh, Tom! (LAUGHS)
636
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:25,400
BEN: Got it!
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
637
00:26:27,120 --> 00:26:31,480
Power to weight ratio on this lad
is near perfect.
638
00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:34,240
Look at him, one-handed now.
He's showing off.
639
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:35,320
BEN: (LAUGHS)
640
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:37,600
We're watching one of the greats
in action here, Freddie.
641
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:38,640
AMANDA: Big swing!
642
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:39,680
Come on!
643
00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:42,520
REBECCA: Oh, look at this man go!
644
00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:43,800
Amazing!
645
00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:44,840
Come on!
646
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:47,640
BEN: Now, no shock, no surprises.
647
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:48,680
No worries!
648
00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:50,200
Tom O'Halloran...
(HORN SOUNDS)
649
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:51,640
..is up the warped wall
650
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:53,680
and no doubt, into the semifinals
651
00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:57,160
on season two
of Australian Ninja Warrior.
652
00:26:57,200 --> 00:26:59,160
Tom, you've done it again!
653
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:01,600
Awesome!
654
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:02,920
AUDREY: Dada!
655
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:04,320
Daddy! Sock it!
656
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:07,360
REBECCA: Now, that's what we've
come to expect
657
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:08,960
from the Blue Mountains crew.
658
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:12,440
One tiny slip on the ladders
was the only blemish.
659
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:15,920
Tom O'Halloran,
first up the warped wall tonight.
660
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:17,480
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
661
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:23,080
BEN: Andrea Hah and Lee Cossey
still to come later on.
662
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:25,480
But looking at the early leaderboard,
663
00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:27,480
Tom has climbed his way
664
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:28,640
right to the top.
665
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:30,000
Based on time,
666
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:32,400
the Furbinator, Stewart Furze,
667
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:34,280
is ahead of Tim Robards.
668
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:36,480
Ben Cossey is fourth.
669
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:38,320
But how long will he stay there?
670
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:43,240
REBECCA: Only the top 20
furthest fastest make the semis
671
00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:46,480
but our next ninja
is used to tough competition.
672
00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:51,600
Amy Reynolds competed in fencing
at the 2014 Commonwealth Games.
673
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:55,640
Tonight, she's primed
to put her competitors to the sword.
674
00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:56,960
Amy Reynolds!
675
00:27:59,960 --> 00:28:02,760
AMY: I've been competing
internationally since I was 15.
676
00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:05,840
I've been to World Cups,
677
00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:07,440
and Junior World Championships,
678
00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:08,760
and All Asia Champs,
679
00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:09,880
and Commonwealths,
680
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:11,120
and was regularly competing
681
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:12,840
on the national
and international circuits.
682
00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:17,040
But unfortunately,
683
00:28:17,120 --> 00:28:18,880
I was diagnosed
with a heart condition
684
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:20,640
at 22 years old.
685
00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:22,320
When you start to get things
686
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:24,240
like a loss of feeling
in your fingers
687
00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:25,480
and heart palpitations
688
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:27,360
and chronic chest pain,
you start to go,
689
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:29,600
"You know, there really might be
something wrong here."
690
00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:32,360
What they found
was that I had something called
691
00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:34,960
chronic idiopathic myopericarditis,
692
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:36,640
which causes chronic chest pain.
693
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:40,280
So, I used obstacle course racing
as a way to come back
694
00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:42,040
because it was a fun way
to get myself better,
695
00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:43,280
instead of a stressful one.
696
00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:44,560
MAN: OK. You ready?
697
00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:47,120
I've just started back
competing nationally.
698
00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:48,400
COMMENTATOR: Oh!
699
00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:50,000
Yes!
What a hit!
700
00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:52,040
COMMENTATOR: Amy Reynolds
in her comeback competition
701
00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:53,440
has secured gold.
702
00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:55,560
AMY: I've learned a lot
through this comeback.
703
00:28:55,640 --> 00:29:00,760
I've learned that pain is only pain
and that willpower is everything.
704
00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:03,960
AUDIENCE (CHANTING): Amy! Amy!
705
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:05,960
FREDDIE: She's used
to the big occasions.
706
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:07,160
She's used to the big stage.
707
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:08,320
There's none bigger than this.
708
00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:10,080
Or none harder.
709
00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:11,200
Go get 'em, babe!
710
00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:14,800
BEN: Her coach, boyfriend
and proud mum, Kerry, watching on.
711
00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:16,240
(STARTER TONE)
712
00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:17,880
And here goes Amy.
713
00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:23,320
She'll have good balance
from all of that fencing experience.
714
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:27,560
When she had that heart problem,
she was sleeping 17 hours a day.
715
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:28,600
What a comeback.
716
00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:31,960
And what achievement
being here on Ninja Island tonight,
717
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:34,800
about to complete her first obstacle.
718
00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:36,280
(CHEERING)
719
00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:37,360
REBECCA: Well done, Amy.
720
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:39,080
Up you go!
721
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:40,560
Bungee slider now.
722
00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:43,840
She will not have seen
anything like this before.
723
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:45,400
She looks a little nervous to me.
724
00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:48,080
FREDDIE: I'm not sure
if there's any transferable skills
725
00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:51,560
from fencing to sliding down
a bungee trying to grab a bullet.
726
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:53,920
BEN: There's only one way
to find out, Freddie.
727
00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:55,680
Here we go. She's grabbing on
728
00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:57,640
but she's not holding on!
(BUZZER)
729
00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:00,680
REBECCA: Oh, Amy! Such a shame!
730
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:05,000
BEN: It's almost like
731
00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:06,920
she was left behind a bit
there at the launch
732
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:08,960
and then had to play catch up,
733
00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:12,320
and then there was too much weight
and something had to give.
734
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:16,560
That was phenomenal.
735
00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:18,640
I came to get out of my comfort zone
736
00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:20,200
and tell you what,
I've really done that.
737
00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:22,080
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
738
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:23,280
BEN: Coming up...
739
00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:25,840
REBECCA: Can she beat
the wall again?
740
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:27,880
Andrea Hah is back.
741
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:32,440
But next, Perth DJ, Rory Garton-Smith
742
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:34,640
pumped up for the biggest gig
of his life.
743
00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:36,000
WOMAN: Going to be fantastic.
744
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:37,600
Going to be great.
I'll see you guys out there.
745
00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:38,880
Going to be great.
746
00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:45,040
REBECCA: The competitors
on Australian Ninja Warrior
747
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:47,960
all want to make it through
the course in record time.
748
00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:51,520
BEN: But it's the ninja
who goes furthest and fastest
749
00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:54,320
that will be given the title
of performance of the night.
750
00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:55,360
(HORN SOUNDS)
751
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:56,600
REBECCA: Thanks to Berocca.
752
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:03,560
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
753
00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:06,280
REBECCA: Welcome back
to Ninja Island
754
00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:07,520
where over the break,
755
00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:11,320
the bungee slider to bullet
claimed three big scalps.
756
00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:15,200
BEN: Former AFL footballer,
Mitch Harley,
757
00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:16,480
thought he'd kicked a goal...
758
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:19,160
Oh, great technique,
great technique.
759
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:22,680
But in the end it was just a behind.
760
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:24,000
FREDDIE: Oh, no!
761
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:25,880
REBECCA: This is really tough
obstacle.
762
00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:30,080
Gemma Rolfe is one of the world's
top obstacle course racers.
763
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:32,000
It didn't help.
764
00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:33,160
Oh!
765
00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:34,280
(BUZZER)
766
00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:37,600
BEN: And remember this guy
from last season?
767
00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:38,680
Ooh!
768
00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:39,840
(BUZZER)
769
00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:43,200
Part-time stripper, Magic Matt Wilson
was back
770
00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:44,440
and he still knows
771
00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:45,840
how to put on a show.
772
00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:48,800
Oh! Yes, Magic Matt.
773
00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:50,760
REBECCA: Oh, whoa!
774
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:53,000
The bullet threw him away.
775
00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:54,360
Not happy.
776
00:31:57,280 --> 00:31:59,400
Next on course,
from Western Australia,
777
00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:02,240
he records music
under the name Elk Road
778
00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:03,720
with one of his songs
779
00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:06,920
making it into last year's
'Triple J's Hottest 100'.
780
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:09,120
Rory Garton-Smith.
781
00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:10,400
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
782
00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:13,280
Go, Ror!
783
00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:14,320
Whoo!
784
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:18,840
I think that in life
you should just take
785
00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:21,200
absolutely every opportunity
that you can
786
00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:22,560
because cool stuff like this
787
00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:23,600
passes by quick
788
00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:24,760
and you've got to jump on it.
789
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:28,080
I study law at university.
790
00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:29,880
I'm on track to graduate
at the end of this year,
791
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:30,920
which will be great
792
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:31,960
and then, as like as a hobby,
793
00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:33,680
I've got a music project
called Elk Road.
794
00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:36,400
(PUMPING DANCE MUSIC)
795
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:38,440
I've had some success on Triple J.
796
00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:41,240
I've done 'Like a Version'
and 'Hottest 100'.
797
00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:43,520
I've sort of become used
to being in front of crowds
798
00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:46,000
that are up to
maybe 15,000 to 20,000 people
799
00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:48,000
and that gives you,
like, a big adrenaline rush
800
00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:49,200
and, you know, you get, like,
801
00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:51,040
big bursts of confidence
when you work off them.
802
00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:52,800
But having said that,
803
00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:54,600
this is something
completely different
804
00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:57,400
and I feel like all that confidence
that I have from that
805
00:32:57,480 --> 00:32:59,920
is not necessarily translating
into tonight.
806
00:32:59,960 --> 00:33:01,120
When I get up there tonight,
807
00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:02,880
I'm telling you now,
I'm going to be terrified.
808
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:04,480
But I'm going to give it
everything I've got
809
00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:06,160
and I'm going to have fun with it.
810
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:08,400
REBECCA: I'm sure he will
811
00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:10,080
and there is his mum,
812
00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:12,760
and brother Rufus
is hedging his bets. (LAUGHS)
813
00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:14,680
Just make it past the first one!
814
00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:17,360
"Just get past one obstacle",
he says.
815
00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:19,560
Well, that's brotherly love for you.

RUFUS: Come on, Ror!
818
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:23,720
You can do it! Just one!
819
00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:25,560
BEN: Just 26 years old.
820
00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:26,680
Yeah!
821
00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:28,760
Law student, musician...
RUFUS: Keep going!

00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:32,080
How impressive's this bloke?
824
00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:35,760
REBECCA: Well, it is
a different pace to a mosh pit.
825
00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:38,160
He's taking it very carefully here.
826
00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:40,680
BEN: Slow and steady wins the race.
827
00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:41,960
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
828
00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:44,480
RUFUS: You did it! You did it!
829
00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:46,280
REBECCA: He said,
"I'm through the first one!"
830
00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:48,000
BEN: Good on him.
831
00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:49,880
It's easy from here. Don't worry.
832
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:51,800
Well, actually it's not that easy.
833
00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:54,840
This obstacle has taken out
five ninjas already.
834
00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:56,560
AUDIENCE (CHANTING): Let's go, Rory!
Let's go!
835
00:33:56,600 --> 00:33:57,920

AUDIENCE (CHANTING): Lets go, Rory!
Let's go!
837
00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:04,440
Yes!
838
00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:06,920
Great effort from Rory Garton-Smith.
839
00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:10,040
FREDDIE: Getting the momentum
he needs now.
840
00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:11,360
Swinging back and forth.
841
00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:13,240
Going to have to straighten his arms
a little bit
842
00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:15,240
to get underneath,
and there he goes!
843
00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:16,440
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
844
00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:17,840
Must be happy with that!
845
00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:24,280
REBECCA: A musician who's proving
to be quite an athlete.
846
00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:26,480
Now, the bridge of blades.
847
00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:30,320
I reckon this is like running
along a windowsill in an earthquake.
848
00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:32,760
Oh, hang on.
(CROWD GOES SILENT)

FREDDIE: Oh...
REBECCA: (LAUGHS)
851
00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:39,000
Bit of an entertainer here.
He's loving life at the minute.
852
00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:40,040
BEN: Righto, Rory.
853
00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:43,080
Rory, your job
is to do the obstacle course.
854
00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:44,600
We'll worry about the crowd.
855
00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:46,880
BEN: Whatever floats your boat, Rory.
856
00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:47,920
Get through the...
857
00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:49,800
Oh, he's in the drink!
858
00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:51,240
That's a shame.
859
00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:56,560
BEN: For a musician, Rory's timing
was not on song.
860
00:34:56,640 --> 00:34:59,360
See how he hops hard
on that first blade.
861
00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:00,880
That killed his momentum,
862
00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:03,880
so the third blade
was well on its way down
863
00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:05,080
and so was he.
864
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:08,400
Rory, you was enjoying that,
weren't you?
865
00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:09,440
Getting the crowd going.
866
00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:11,200
Freddie, I was having the time
of my life out there.
867
00:35:11,240 --> 00:35:12,240
That was so much fun.
868
00:35:13,720 --> 00:35:15,520
You've had two million views
for your live lounge
869
00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:16,560
on 'Like a Version'.
870
00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:18,200
I reckon you might get
another two million
871
00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:20,520
for that wipeout.
That was pretty spectacular.
872
00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:23,520
Anyone who gets through it,
a lot of respect. That is hard.
873
00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:25,640
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
Well, ladies and gentleman. Rory!
874
00:35:25,720 --> 00:35:27,760
Well done, mate.
REBECCA: Bad luck, Rory.
875
00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:30,040
It goes to show,
you've really got to fight
876
00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:32,800
every step of the way
on this Ninja Warrior course.
877
00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:37,520
But that won't be an issue
for our next competitor,
878
00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:41,560
former national amateur
boxing champ, Cody Philp.
879
00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:47,680
CODY: Did boxing for 13 years,
competed professionally.
880
00:35:47,720 --> 00:35:49,400
Broke my hand, then decided
881
00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:50,800
getting punched in the face
882
00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:52,280
isn't the best thing for a living.
883
00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:58,200
There's four of us brothers
grew up together,
884
00:35:58,240 --> 00:36:00,040
raised by a single mum.
885
00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:01,560
Hey, mother. How you doing?
Hey, love.
886
00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:02,800
They're my rock. Everything.
887
00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:04,440
Anything I can do to make them proud
888
00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:08,080
and give them a high in life,
that's my goal as well.
889
00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:10,520
KAREN: Is that going to be hot
enough, that barbecue, Broughton?
890
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:11,600
No, she's a bit struggling.
891
00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:14,280
KAREN: The motivation he's got
and he gets everybody going,
892
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:15,600
and...
893
00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:17,080
I'm just so proud of him.
894
00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:19,480
Remember them times
when you guys used to pick on me?
895
00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:21,480
Yeah, wouldn't do it now though.
Yeah.
896
00:36:21,520 --> 00:36:22,640
We'd get punched. (LAUGHS)
897
00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:24,560
He's an amazing guy.
898
00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:26,760
Yeah. He's a great brother
899
00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:29,040
and he's going to whip it.
900
00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:31,560
He'll be right. He'll be right,
901
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:32,600
and he'll get to the end.
902
00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:34,120
Course he will.
903
00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:35,160
(LAUGHS)
904
00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:38,160
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
905
00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:41,600
BEN: And watching on, there's Mum,
Karen, and the family.
906
00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:43,400
They're excited
and they're also nervous,
907
00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:46,080
and they're all wearing
T-shirts with Cody's nickname:
908
00:36:46,120 --> 00:36:47,760
"Cody Flashmurrie."
909
00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:49,720
REBECCA: He looks like
he's in the blue corner.
910
00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:52,200
Ready to go, ready to rumble.
911
00:36:53,720 --> 00:36:54,800
(STARTER TONE)
912
00:36:55,760 --> 00:36:56,960
Now, he's not wearing a lot
913
00:36:57,000 --> 00:36:58,160
but those budgie smugglers
914
00:36:58,240 --> 00:37:00,880
are in support
of mental health awareness.
915
00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:02,960
A very big issue
for many Australians.
916
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:05,800
KAREN: Take it easy!
REBECCA: Here we are again.
917
00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:07,280
The bungee slider.
918
00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:10,000
High grip.
919
00:37:11,240 --> 00:37:12,320
He is focused.
920
00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:14,960
BEN: Now, watch, watch, watch.
921
00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:17,320
REBECCA: Good start.
BEN: Yes!
922
00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:20,240
Swing those legs!
923
00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:22,160
Onto the bullet. Swinging the legs.
924
00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:23,360
Swing those legs!
925
00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:25,680
BEN: And just look
at the core strength.
926
00:37:25,720 --> 00:37:27,840
He's so strong.
927
00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:30,240
And now, he's done.
928
00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:32,080
Surviving the bungee.
929
00:37:33,240 --> 00:37:34,640
REBECCA: So lean, too, Ben.
930
00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:37,280
5'9", 71 kg
931
00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:38,360
and fast.
932
00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:39,760
So fast! Got there.
933
00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:40,800
You beauty.
934
00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:44,000
BEN: He's got fire in the belly,
Beck.
935
00:37:44,040 --> 00:37:45,280
The boxing skills coming out.
936
00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:46,840
Throwing a few lefts, throwing
a few rights,
937
00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:49,040
giving it a bit of this. Whoa!
Go, Cody!
938
00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:50,840
BEN: Now, swing to cargo net.
939
00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:53,560
You can see,
even for an athlete like Cody,
940
00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:56,000
this is not as easy as it looks.
941
00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:58,080
He's quite tentative.
942
00:37:58,760 --> 00:37:59,880
Trying to get the swing right.
943
00:37:59,920 --> 00:38:01,240
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
944
00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:03,880
REBECCA: Ooh!
BEN: Oh!
945
00:38:03,960 --> 00:38:05,840
He was a little bit hesitant
but he recovered.
946
00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:06,880
Yeah, it was a bit shaky.
947
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:09,040
KAREN: Watch your back!
Hold your body straight!
948
00:38:10,160 --> 00:38:11,280
Don't get wet!
949
00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:14,360
BEN: His mum, ringside there,
urging Cody on.
950
00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:16,360
Come on, Codes! Come on, boy!
951
00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:18,640
Let's cheer him home!
952
00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:20,320
Come on, son!
953
00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:22,560
He's gone through the middle
of the net, which sags the most,
954
00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:24,360
but he's safe this time.
He's through.
955
00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:26,040
KAREN: Go!
MAN: Yes!
956
00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:28,720
REBECCA: Wow. He's one fit lad,
isn't he?
957
00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:32,000
FREDDIE: All good, mate.
Keep going, pal.
958
00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:33,760
Even got time to chat
to Freddie down there.
959
00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:36,280
MAN: You've got this!
KAREN: Come on, Codes! Come on!
960
00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:38,960
BEN: We've got a potential winner
here.
961
00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:41,120
FREDDIE: Powering through.
962
00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:43,160
As he goes from rung to rung.
963
00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:45,160
Big gap on the next one.
964
00:38:45,240 --> 00:38:47,040
Just trying to get
a bit of momentum.
965
00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:48,120
He's fine.
966
00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:49,520
Now, this is the tricky bit.
967
00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:52,800
He needs to swing,
and swing back and forth,
968
00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:54,480
get that ladder moving back up
to the top.
969
00:38:54,520 --> 00:38:56,160
Perfect. Oh, yeah.
970
00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:57,440
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
971
00:38:57,480 --> 00:38:58,760
BEN: Come on, Cody!
972
00:38:58,840 --> 00:39:01,000
REBECCA: You can see he's starting
to struggle
973
00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:02,520
but the top ninjas,
974
00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:04,480
they know how to fight
through the pain
975
00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:06,720
and this newcomer is doing it.
976
00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:08,280
Big swing, mate! Last swing!
977
00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:09,800
Last swing!
978
00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:10,840
Yes!
979
00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:12,600
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
980
00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:16,720
REBECCA: Final round now, Cody.
981
00:39:16,760 --> 00:39:18,440
One last big effort.
982
00:39:18,520 --> 00:39:21,200
AUDIENCE (CHANTING): Beat that wall!
Beat that wall!
983
00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:24,280
BEN: He's a newcomer
to Australian Ninja Warrior
984
00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:26,600
and this is his first attempt
at the warped wall,
985
00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:28,520
and he looks like an old hand!
986
00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:31,520
Cody Philp makes it up there,
987
00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:32,880
gives us a boogie,
988
00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:35,480
and books his spot in the semifinal.
989
00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:36,680
REBECCA: Yay!
990
00:39:36,720 --> 00:39:37,920
Piece of cake!
991
00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:39,400
I like it!
992
00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:42,440
You are pumped!
993
00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:44,200
How do you feel?
So pumped. Amazing.
994
00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:46,760
I just love it
that my family's right here...
995
00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:48,960
(CHEERING)
..supporting me 100%.
996
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:50,240
These guys mean the world to me.
997
00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:51,800
KAREN: (LAUGHS)
998
00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:52,880
Whoo!
999
00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:57,320
BEN: Right from the start,
Cody looked in control.
1000
00:39:57,400 --> 00:40:01,000
The closest he came to trouble
was on the bridge of blades.
1001
00:40:01,080 --> 00:40:04,800
Just a tiny hiccup in a run
to make his mum proud.
1002
00:40:06,080 --> 00:40:07,760
Come on, Cody. Come here.
Come and see the family.
1003
00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:09,080
(CHEERING)
1004
00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:11,920
Come here.
1005
00:40:15,080 --> 00:40:17,120
Cody, you looked
so determined on the start line.
1006
00:40:18,080 --> 00:40:19,720
Did you expect to be at the top
of the warped wall?
1007
00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:21,000
I didn't. I didn't at all,
1008
00:40:21,040 --> 00:40:22,360
and I thought when I got there,
1009
00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:24,120
it'd take me
about two or three goes.
1010
00:40:24,160 --> 00:40:25,400
So, I'm feeling pumped.
1011
00:40:25,440 --> 00:40:27,280
Karen, how proud are you of the boy?
1012
00:40:27,320 --> 00:40:28,320
Oh...
1013
00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:31,600
I'm going to cry! I'm so proud!
1014
00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:34,400
So proud, so proud, so proud.
1015
00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:36,560
REBECCA: Yes. Great run, Cody Philp.
1016
00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:40,440
And coming up, who else can
do themselves proud?
1017
00:40:41,880 --> 00:40:43,360
BEN: There's Rob Patterson.
1018
00:40:43,400 --> 00:40:45,600
Fifth place in season one.
1019
00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:47,680
That is beautiful!
1020
00:40:47,760 --> 00:40:50,640
Looking to go even further
this time around.
1021
00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:52,920
REBECCA: Bronson Norrish,
1022
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:55,280
whose biceps deserve
their own postcode.
1023
00:40:55,360 --> 00:40:58,280
I've got a lot more momentum to push
me through the obstacles, hopefully.
1024
00:40:58,320 --> 00:41:01,720
How far can our heaviest ninja go?
1025
00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:04,600
BEN: And this season's
youngest ninja.
1026
00:41:04,680 --> 00:41:09,400
18-year-old basketballer,
Tatyanna Pogonza-Dumas.
1027
00:41:09,440 --> 00:41:10,520
I might only be 18
1028
00:41:10,600 --> 00:41:12,080
but I'm going to slam dunk
this course.
1029
00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:24,240
REBECCA: Welcome back
to Ninja Island
1030
00:41:24,320 --> 00:41:27,400
and the last qualifying heat
before the semifinals.
1031
00:41:27,440 --> 00:41:29,000
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
1032
00:41:29,080 --> 00:41:31,760
Next on course is this season's
youngest competitor,
1033
00:41:31,840 --> 00:41:36,080
a multitalented 18-year-old,
Tatyanna Pogonza-Dumas.
1034
00:41:37,200 --> 00:41:38,560
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
1035
00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:45,160
TATYANNA: I'm an elite basketball
player.
1036
00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:46,440
I do a bit of modelling,
1037
00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:47,840
you know, I'm into graphic design
1038
00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:49,120
and love youth work.
1039
00:41:50,320 --> 00:41:54,200
To think that people would doubt me
just based on the fact of my age,
1040
00:41:54,240 --> 00:41:55,960
that just drives me even more.
1041
00:41:56,600 --> 00:41:58,480
Because they don't know
what I'm capable of.
1042
00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:00,480
They don't see how passionate
I am about what I do.
1043
00:42:00,560 --> 00:42:02,880
I've got to be, you know,
a competitor.
1044
00:42:02,920 --> 00:42:03,960
I've got to compete.
1045
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:05,040
I've got to be in that zone.
1046
00:42:05,120 --> 00:42:06,920
I've got to make sure
that there is nothing
1047
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:10,040
that can possibly deter me
from getting to where I need to get.
1048
00:42:10,120 --> 00:42:12,280
I need to forget the lights,
forget the crowd,
1049
00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:14,480
forget everything that I know
and just kind of go with it.
1050
00:42:14,520 --> 00:42:16,200
Don't think about it, just do it.
1051
00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:19,320
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
1052
00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:21,160
REBECCA: The family
is all here tonight.
1053
00:42:21,240 --> 00:42:24,520
Brother, sister, boyfriend
and mum, Monica.
1054
00:42:25,320 --> 00:42:26,760
Come on! You can do it!
1055
00:42:27,600 --> 00:42:29,520
There's some big fans
in the crowd too.
1056
00:42:29,560 --> 00:42:31,080
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
1057
00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:33,360
(STARTER TONE)
1058
00:42:34,120 --> 00:42:36,600
BEN: Imagine being 18 years of age
1059
00:42:36,680 --> 00:42:39,920
and finding yourself in a pressure
cooker environment like this?
1060
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:42,960
FREDDIE: She's a basketball student,
trains six days a week.
1061
00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:44,200
So, she's going to be fit.
1062
00:42:44,280 --> 00:42:46,480
She's going to be strong,
she's going to be agile.
1063
00:42:47,720 --> 00:42:50,640
But all that goes out of the window
on this next obstacle.
1064
00:42:51,920 --> 00:42:54,760
The bungee slider to bullet.
1065
00:42:55,600 --> 00:42:57,120
BEN: Yeah, this obstacle
has taken out
1066
00:42:57,200 --> 00:43:00,640
nearly half of our competitors
tonight and Tatyanna knows that.
1067
00:43:02,360 --> 00:43:03,960
She's got a nice high grip.
1068
00:43:05,320 --> 00:43:07,960
She's composed and she looks fierce.
1069
00:43:08,680 --> 00:43:10,400
Come on, Tatyanna!
1070
00:43:11,040 --> 00:43:12,200
REBECCA: Here she goes.
1071
00:43:12,240 --> 00:43:13,360
Down the slide.
1072
00:43:15,080 --> 00:43:17,560
Yes, Tatyanna! Yes!
1073
00:43:17,600 --> 00:43:18,600
She's done it.
1074
00:43:18,640 --> 00:43:19,960
She's onto the bullet.
1075
00:43:21,240 --> 00:43:22,440
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
1076
00:43:22,480 --> 00:43:24,080
Holding on, swinging those legs.
1077
00:43:24,120 --> 00:43:26,440
Keep swinging. Don't panic, Tats.
1078
00:43:27,360 --> 00:43:31,720
REBECCA: Oh! The core strength
to get yourself swinging
1079
00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:33,680
when you're in a dead hang.
1080
00:43:33,760 --> 00:43:36,480
There's not many people out there
that can do this.
1081
00:43:36,560 --> 00:43:39,120
She's shouting to herself,
"Come on, Tats!"
1082
00:43:39,160 --> 00:43:40,560
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
1083
00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:44,160
BEN: Tatyanna, doing everything
she possibly can
1084
00:43:44,240 --> 00:43:48,000
to keep her Ninja Warrior dream
alive!
1085
00:43:48,640 --> 00:43:51,160
REBECCA: Oh, you just can't train
for this obstacle.
1086
00:43:52,680 --> 00:43:55,800
The bungee slider to bullet
claims another victim.
1087
00:43:56,520 --> 00:44:01,480
It requires massive strength,
coordination and aerial ability,
1088
00:44:01,560 --> 00:44:04,800
and don't forget the ninjas
have never tried this.
1089
00:44:09,200 --> 00:44:10,520
Definitely. I'm back next year.
1090
00:44:10,560 --> 00:44:11,680
Watch out.
1091
00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:16,040
BEN: Well, she'll be back and at 18,
Tatyanna has youth on her side.
1092
00:44:17,240 --> 00:44:18,920
REBECCA: But our next competitor
1093
00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:21,440
was never supposed to have
reached that age.
1094
00:44:21,520 --> 00:44:25,600
He's defied the odds
and now plans to defy the course.
1095
00:44:26,200 --> 00:44:28,360
Please give it up for Adam Eyles.
1096
00:44:29,960 --> 00:44:31,960
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
1097
00:44:36,400 --> 00:44:39,920
Dad, we're making a Ninja Warrior
application.
1098
00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:42,920
I can do some cross-country running
to show my speed and agility.
1099
00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:45,280
What about chin-ups on the rings?
1100
00:44:47,960 --> 00:44:50,160
What about showing me running
across the top of logs for balance
1101
00:44:50,200 --> 00:44:51,640
and leaping over things for agility?
1102
00:44:52,560 --> 00:44:53,560
(YELLS)
1103
00:44:53,600 --> 00:44:54,600
Ah!
1104
00:44:55,400 --> 00:44:56,680
Maybe not.
1105
00:44:56,760 --> 00:45:01,600
You can tell them
that you have cystic fibrosis.
1106
00:45:02,680 --> 00:45:04,440
Oh, yes. The sympathy vote.
1107
00:45:04,480 --> 00:45:06,160
(MACHINE PURRING)
1108
00:45:08,080 --> 00:45:09,960
ADAM: When I was six
or seven years old,
1109
00:45:10,000 --> 00:45:11,280
one of the things I do remember
1110
00:45:11,360 --> 00:45:13,640
was hearing my brother say
to one of his friends quietly,
1111
00:45:14,240 --> 00:45:15,440
"Yeah, my brother, you know,"
1112
00:45:15,480 --> 00:45:16,480
"he won't live very long."
1113
00:45:16,560 --> 00:45:18,240
"He won't live to be a teenager
sort of thing."
1114
00:45:19,760 --> 00:45:22,480
Cystic fibrosis
is a genetic disease.
1115
00:45:22,560 --> 00:45:25,760
The biggest impacts
are probably on your lung health
1116
00:45:25,840 --> 00:45:30,160
and your ability to digest
the nutrients out of foods.
1117
00:45:30,200 --> 00:45:32,200
Your life expectancy is reduced,
1118
00:45:32,280 --> 00:45:34,400
your quality of life
is heavily impacted,
1119
00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:36,880
so you do tend to have
ups and downs.
1120
00:45:39,840 --> 00:45:41,800
With my two daughters,
the most I get upset
1121
00:45:41,840 --> 00:45:43,960
is when one of them will say to me,
1122
00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:45,080
"I don't want you to die, Dad."
1123
00:45:45,160 --> 00:45:47,360
"You know, I don't want you to die
when I'm still young."
1124
00:45:47,400 --> 00:45:48,400
OK, Holl. Your turn.
1125
00:45:48,960 --> 00:45:52,240
They have to understand
that I have CF and what that means,
1126
00:45:52,320 --> 00:45:54,920
but I also, I guess, try and focus
them on
1127
00:45:55,560 --> 00:45:57,520
let's just make the most
of life, you know?
1128
00:45:57,600 --> 00:45:59,400
I often say, you know,
work with what you've got.
1129
00:45:59,440 --> 00:46:00,640
Do the most with what you've got.
1130
00:46:00,680 --> 00:46:02,200
Come on, Daddy. Come on!
1131
00:46:03,720 --> 00:46:06,440
So, having something
like Ninja Warrior to aim for
1132
00:46:06,520 --> 00:46:08,680
and to also get the message out
about CF
1133
00:46:08,760 --> 00:46:10,480
was just a massive thing
to try and do,
1134
00:46:10,520 --> 00:46:12,320
and so, yeah, it's been fantastic.
1135
00:46:12,360 --> 00:46:14,880
Our dad's got cystic fibrosis.
1136
00:46:14,960 --> 00:46:17,640
He's going to be
the CF Ninja Warrior!
1137
00:46:17,680 --> 00:46:18,880
Yay!
1138
00:46:18,920 --> 00:46:20,440
(CHEERING)
1139
00:46:23,800 --> 00:46:24,800
Yeah!
1140
00:46:24,840 --> 00:46:26,040
(FEEBLY) Ninja Warrior!
1141

Let's go, Adam! Let's go!

FREDDIE: I'm sure like me
1144
00:46:33,640 --> 00:46:34,640
and the crowd,
1145
00:46:34,680 --> 00:46:36,040
everyone at home urging him
1146
00:46:36,120 --> 00:46:37,520
to get to the top
of the warped wall.
1147
00:46:39,840 --> 00:46:42,520
REBECCA: Oh, look at his daughters,
Emily and Holly.
1148
00:46:42,600 --> 00:46:45,920
Their outfits made for tonight
by mum, Lisa.
1149
00:46:45,960 --> 00:46:47,920
You can do it, Daddy!
1150
00:46:48,520 --> 00:46:49,520
(STARTER TONE)
1151
00:46:49,600 --> 00:46:52,560
BEN: Now, Adam passed
the same physical exams
1152
00:46:52,640 --> 00:46:55,000
as the other ninjas,
which is incredible
1153
00:46:55,080 --> 00:46:58,680
given that he's only got 70%
of lung function
1154
00:46:58,720 --> 00:47:00,480
of an average healthy person.
1155
00:47:00,560 --> 00:47:02,440
REBECCA: Oh! Hello.
A quick wave to the kids.
1156
00:47:02,480 --> 00:47:04,200
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
1157
00:47:04,280 --> 00:47:07,120
The crowd is right behind him
on Ninja Island
1158
00:47:07,160 --> 00:47:09,440
but he needs to switch on now.
1159
00:47:09,520 --> 00:47:12,720
The bungee slider is taking
no prisoners this evening.
1160
00:47:12,760 --> 00:47:14,160
BEN: A big challenge here, Freddie.
1161
00:47:14,760 --> 00:47:16,640
FREDDIE: Looking down at the family
for inspiration.
1162
00:47:18,280 --> 00:47:20,200
Well, he's going to have to keep
his eyes on the course now.
1163
00:47:20,240 --> 00:47:21,680
This is where it gets real.
1164
00:47:21,720 --> 00:47:23,320
REBECCA: Oh, he's looked away.
1165
00:47:23,400 --> 00:47:25,040
Oh, he's got to go!
Mate, you've got to go!
1166
00:47:25,080 --> 00:47:26,080
Oh!
1167
00:47:26,160 --> 00:47:27,880
(BUZZER)
REBECCA: Oh, Adam!
1168
00:47:29,240 --> 00:47:30,680
Just took his eyes off the course.
1169
00:47:30,760 --> 00:47:32,000
Was looking at the family
and it went.
1170
00:47:32,640 --> 00:47:33,720
Daddy!
1171
00:47:33,800 --> 00:47:36,120
BEN: It happened
in the blink of an eye.
1172
00:47:36,760 --> 00:47:38,720
Adam looked at his family,
1173
00:47:39,560 --> 00:47:42,400
the slider took off
and there was no catching up.
1174
00:47:43,360 --> 00:47:44,680
That's Ninja Warrior for you.
1175
00:47:44,720 --> 00:47:46,200
It plays no favourites.
1176
00:47:47,200 --> 00:47:49,320
Adam, it claims another one.
1177
00:47:49,360 --> 00:47:50,800
That is a tough obstacle, isn't it?
1178
00:47:50,840 --> 00:47:51,840
Yeah, very tough.
1179
00:47:52,320 --> 00:47:53,320
Yep.
1180
00:47:53,400 --> 00:47:54,840
What were the tactics
coming into it?
1181
00:47:54,920 --> 00:47:57,000
Ah, just hold on
as tight as I could.
1182
00:47:57,040 --> 00:47:58,280
(LAUGHS) But yeah,
1183
00:47:58,360 --> 00:48:00,480
it was more surprising
than I thought it would be.
1184
00:48:00,520 --> 00:48:01,560
Very, very hard.
1185
00:48:01,600 --> 00:48:02,800
And it's an amazing achievement,
1186
00:48:02,880 --> 00:48:04,240
you just being here
in the first place.
1187
00:48:04,320 --> 00:48:06,520
How have you enjoyed your time
on Ninja Warrior?
1188
00:48:06,600 --> 00:48:09,000
So, yeah. Just being here's
been absolutely excellent. Yeah.
1189
00:48:09,080 --> 00:48:11,160
Well, the family are so proud.
They're waiting for you behind.
1190
00:48:11,200 --> 00:48:12,680
Ladies and gentlemen, Adam!
1191
00:48:12,720 --> 00:48:14,720
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
1192
00:48:16,360 --> 00:48:17,680
REBECCA: I reckon the Eyles family
1193
00:48:17,760 --> 00:48:20,160
will talk about this night
for years to come.
1194
00:48:21,120 --> 00:48:23,000
Well done, Adam Eyles.
1195
00:48:24,160 --> 00:48:25,360
Wet!
1196
00:48:26,600 --> 00:48:27,720
Goody, Daddy!
1197
00:48:27,760 --> 00:48:29,480
Goody, Daddy! You did a good job.
1198
00:48:29,520 --> 00:48:30,520
Good job.
1199
00:48:31,160 --> 00:48:32,280
BEN: Still ahead...
1200
00:48:32,880 --> 00:48:34,080
When that buzzer goes,
1201
00:48:34,160 --> 00:48:36,920
you just focus 100%
on the next obstacle.
1202
00:48:37,760 --> 00:48:40,040
Blue Mountains climber, Lee Cossey,
1203
00:48:40,120 --> 00:48:43,600
and another of the hot contenders,
Brisbane's Rob Patterson.
1204
00:48:43,640 --> 00:48:45,600
Fifth in last year's grand final.
1205
00:48:46,440 --> 00:48:48,840
He won't stop until he goes better
this year.
1206
00:48:49,960 --> 00:48:52,600
I'm feeling geed up and ready to go
before the course, man.
1207
00:48:52,640 --> 00:48:54,240
It's going to be so much fun.
1208
00:49:03,000 --> 00:49:04,680
REBECCA: Welcome back
to Ninja Island
1209
00:49:04,760 --> 00:49:07,640
and the last qualifying heat
of this season.
1210
00:49:07,720 --> 00:49:11,000
Just 20 places
left in the semifinals.
1211
00:49:12,440 --> 00:49:13,520
BEN: And over the break,
1212
00:49:13,560 --> 00:49:15,640
gamer Frank Crispo booked his spot,
1213
00:49:15,680 --> 00:49:16,680
taking one...
1214
00:49:19,600 --> 00:49:20,600
Two...
1215
00:49:22,720 --> 00:49:25,280
Three attempts to scale
the warped wall.
1216
00:49:25,320 --> 00:49:26,800
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
1217
00:49:29,720 --> 00:49:30,920
(HORN SOUNDS)
1218
00:49:32,360 --> 00:49:34,120
REBECCA: Concreter George Roueiheb
1219
00:49:34,160 --> 00:49:35,800
took a turn for the worse.
1220
00:49:37,200 --> 00:49:38,400
(BUZZER)
1221
00:49:39,600 --> 00:49:42,040
BEN: And 37-year-old Tuan Nguyen
1222
00:49:42,080 --> 00:49:43,960
fought all the way on his run.
1223
00:49:44,800 --> 00:49:46,800
Oh, yah!
1224
00:49:47,520 --> 00:49:49,240
Until the double tilt ladder
1225
00:49:50,040 --> 00:49:52,120
proved one rung too far.
1226
00:49:53,920 --> 00:49:55,440
BEN: Oh!
REBECCA: Oh!
1227
00:49:55,520 --> 00:49:56,520
Freddie!
Freddie got wet.
1228
00:49:56,560 --> 00:49:57,800
He made a big splash.
1229
00:49:59,640 --> 00:50:03,080
Next up, one of the best performers
of season one.
1230
00:50:03,120 --> 00:50:05,120
He finished fifth in the grand final
1231
00:50:05,200 --> 00:50:08,640
and he's determined
to go even better in season two.
1232
00:50:09,440 --> 00:50:11,760
Put your hands together
for Rob Patterson.
1233
00:50:11,800 --> 00:50:13,840
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
1234
00:50:19,680 --> 00:50:20,800
ROB: People from series one
1235
00:50:20,840 --> 00:50:22,280
might just remember me as a gymnast.
1236
00:50:23,360 --> 00:50:25,320
However, the robotics
is a really big part of my life
1237
00:50:25,360 --> 00:50:26,360
and I love it.
1238
00:50:28,240 --> 00:50:30,760
Since series one of Ninja Warrior,
I'm finishing up uni.
1239
00:50:31,560 --> 00:50:34,200
We've been working on a project.
We're visually tracking some robots.
1240
00:50:36,440 --> 00:50:39,360
Analysing gymnastics
and analysing mechanical robots,
1241
00:50:39,400 --> 00:50:40,680
it's very physics based.
1242
00:50:41,200 --> 00:50:42,320
It's very kinematics.
1243
00:50:43,240 --> 00:50:44,520
Ninja Warrior course
is just the same.
1244
00:50:47,280 --> 00:50:49,000
If you analyse each obstacle
1245
00:50:49,080 --> 00:50:52,840
and how each obstacle reacts
with physics in mind,
1246
00:50:54,320 --> 00:50:55,320
then you can get past it.
1247
00:50:55,960 --> 00:50:56,960
(HORN SOUNDS)
1248
00:50:57,000 --> 00:50:58,520
REBECCA: And he does it with class!
1249
00:50:59,760 --> 00:51:01,000
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
1250
00:51:03,400 --> 00:51:05,440
BEN: Rob Patterson,
the robot warrior.
1251
00:51:05,480 --> 00:51:07,440
Switched on, ready to go.
1252
00:51:08,440 --> 00:51:10,440
Girlfriend Tamara on the sideline
1253
00:51:10,480 --> 00:51:12,640
and Tom O'Halloran's time to beat:
1254
00:51:12,680 --> 00:51:14,160
02:23.
1255
00:51:16,080 --> 00:51:17,280
Deep breath now, Rob.
1256
00:51:17,880 --> 00:51:18,920
He means business.
1257
00:51:18,960 --> 00:51:20,480
(STARTER TONE)
1258
00:51:23,240 --> 00:51:25,320
FREDDIE: Got past and on his way
on the quintuple steps.
1259
00:51:25,360 --> 00:51:26,960
He's been on these before.
1260
00:51:27,480 --> 00:51:28,880
Just dancing his way through.
1261
00:51:29,840 --> 00:51:31,040
REBECCA: Bungee slider to bullet.
1262
00:51:31,080 --> 00:51:32,080
Go, Rob!
1263
00:51:32,160 --> 00:51:35,000
Rob's gymnastics
is probably the best training
1264
00:51:35,040 --> 00:51:36,120
you can do for this.
1265
00:51:36,840 --> 00:51:37,880
BEN: He's off!
1266
00:51:39,240 --> 00:51:40,440
Onto the bullet!
1267
00:51:40,480 --> 00:51:42,480
Yes! Very composed.
1268
00:51:43,360 --> 00:51:44,840
Getting his swing going now.
1269
00:51:45,720 --> 00:51:46,800
And picking his moment.
1270
00:51:46,840 --> 00:51:47,840
He's through.
1271
00:51:47,920 --> 00:51:50,160
REBECCA: Oh, and isn't happy
about that one?
1272
00:51:50,200 --> 00:51:52,120
Onto the bridge blades now.
1273
00:51:52,960 --> 00:51:54,320
Great concentration.
1274
00:51:55,560 --> 00:51:56,640
Here he goes.
1275
00:51:57,760 --> 00:51:59,720
Perfect! Just perfect.
1276
00:52:00,800 --> 00:52:02,360
BEN: And his time is good as well.
1277
00:52:02,400 --> 00:52:03,400
Halfway through.
1278
00:52:03,480 --> 00:52:06,120
He's three seconds
ahead of Tom O'Halloran
1279
00:52:06,160 --> 00:52:08,800
at the swing to cargo net.
1280
00:52:09,320 --> 00:52:10,880
REBECCA: He doesn't look fast
though.
1281
00:52:10,920 --> 00:52:13,520
He's so calm and he's so focused,
1282
00:52:13,600 --> 00:52:15,560
and that was a feature of him
last year.
1283
00:52:15,600 --> 00:52:17,240
Hardly a missed step.
1284
00:52:18,160 --> 00:52:19,400
He's the professional package.
1285
00:52:19,440 --> 00:52:20,880
That's alright, and now,
1286
00:52:21,760 --> 00:52:23,880
on the cargo net,
working his way down.
1287
00:52:23,920 --> 00:52:25,040
That's it! Go, Rob!
1288
00:52:25,080 --> 00:52:26,200
FREDDIE: Looking good so far.
1289
00:52:26,720 --> 00:52:27,760
You can see the tactics.
1290
00:52:27,800 --> 00:52:29,160
Coming down the side
1291
00:52:29,240 --> 00:52:31,640
where the cargo net
is at its strongest.
1292
00:52:32,600 --> 00:52:34,840
You've got to watch
that T-shirt at the back.
1293
00:52:34,920 --> 00:52:36,800
Doesn't want that dipping
into the water.
1294
00:52:37,800 --> 00:52:39,960
Perilously close. The T-shirt
dragging down.
1295
00:52:40,040 --> 00:52:41,320
If I was him, I'd tuck it
in his pants.
1296
00:52:41,360 --> 00:52:42,360
There we go.
1297
00:52:43,400 --> 00:52:45,440
Good awareness there
from Rob Patterson.
1298
00:52:45,480 --> 00:52:46,560
TAMARA: Go, Rob!
1299
00:52:48,040 --> 00:52:49,080
You can do it!
1300
00:52:49,120 --> 00:52:50,400
BEN: You've got to be multiskilled
1301
00:52:50,480 --> 00:52:52,640
to be able to make clothing
adjustments
1302
00:52:52,680 --> 00:52:54,040
while you're negotiating that net.
1303
00:52:54,080 --> 00:52:55,480
Now, the crowd really cheers.
1304
00:52:55,520 --> 00:52:57,520
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
1305
00:53:00,640 --> 00:53:01,640
Go, Rob!
1306
00:53:01,680 --> 00:53:03,200
REBECCA: Tilting ladders
1307
00:53:03,280 --> 00:53:05,920
and this is where Rob
really comes into his own.
1308
00:53:07,600 --> 00:53:08,960
Oh, look at him move.
1309
00:53:09,040 --> 00:53:12,200
He's got that fantastic core
strength and body control
1310
00:53:12,240 --> 00:53:13,800
you see in gymnasts,
1311
00:53:13,880 --> 00:53:16,080
and that is why he's a threat
in this competition.
1312
00:53:16,120 --> 00:53:17,920
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
1313
00:53:18,720 --> 00:53:19,840
BEN: Good transfer!
1314
00:53:19,920 --> 00:53:22,840
He is a threat alright, Beck,
and have a look at his time.
1315
00:53:22,920 --> 00:53:26,720
Tom O'Halloran,
fastest tonight in 02:23,
1316
00:53:27,360 --> 00:53:30,000
and Rob is there or thereabouts.
1317
00:53:30,040 --> 00:53:31,600
REBECCA: Well, the clock is ticking
1318
00:53:31,680 --> 00:53:34,320
but Rob has got time
to compose himself.
1319
00:53:34,400 --> 00:53:36,720
AUDIENCE (CHANTING): Beat that wall!
The crowd is right behind him.
1320
00:53:36,760 --> 00:53:37,760
Listen to them.
1321
00:53:37,840 --> 00:53:39,560
FREDDIE: The crowd chanting,
"Beat the wall."
1322
00:53:39,640 --> 00:53:41,440
He's been here before.
He knows this obstacle.
1323
00:53:42,040 --> 00:53:44,120
BEN: And now, Rob Patterson
from Brisbane...
1324
00:53:44,800 --> 00:53:46,640
He should get up the warped wall
first go.
1325
00:53:46,720 --> 00:53:47,960
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
He does!
1326
00:53:48,040 --> 00:53:49,520
He's been here before.
(HORN SOUNDS)
1327
00:53:49,600 --> 00:53:51,760
He wants it, he's hungrier
than ever before.
1328
00:53:51,800 --> 00:53:53,920
Rob Patterson, a seamless run.
1329
00:53:53,960 --> 00:53:55,080
Congratulations.
1330
00:53:55,120 --> 00:53:56,120
Thank you!
1331
00:53:57,160 --> 00:53:59,040
TAMARA: Whoo!
1332
00:53:59,680 --> 00:54:00,960
Go, Rob!
REBECCA: How'd it feel?
1333
00:54:01,000 --> 00:54:02,520
I feel great. I feel amazing.
1334
00:54:03,360 --> 00:54:04,360
That was ridiculously fun.
1335
00:54:04,400 --> 00:54:05,600
It was just like last year.
1336
00:54:05,640 --> 00:54:06,960
Just a little bit better.
1337
00:54:07,640 --> 00:54:09,800
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
1338
00:54:10,760 --> 00:54:12,560
REBECCA: Have a look at this.
1339
00:54:12,600 --> 00:54:14,840
Fitter and stronger than last year.
1340
00:54:14,920 --> 00:54:17,960
Rob doesn't just study machines,
he is one.
1341
00:54:18,840 --> 00:54:20,800
02:18 to the buzzer.
1342
00:54:20,840 --> 00:54:22,240
Fastest time of the night.
1343
00:54:24,040 --> 00:54:25,200
Come here, Rob.
1344
00:54:25,840 --> 00:54:27,240
Well done, pal. Great.
Thank you.
1345
00:54:28,040 --> 00:54:30,960
What have you been doing to go
one further this time round?
1346
00:54:31,680 --> 00:54:34,200
The only thing I've changed honestly,
is I've increased the cardio.
1347
00:54:34,280 --> 00:54:36,720
So, as you can see,
I'm pretty breathed at the moment,
1348
00:54:36,800 --> 00:54:39,880
so I'm still just mucking around
in my gym and having a lot of fun.
1349
00:54:39,960 --> 00:54:42,080
Go and join your friends.
Ladies and gentlemen, Rob Patterson!
1350
00:54:42,160 --> 00:54:43,720
Well done, mate.
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
1351
00:54:44,240 --> 00:54:45,320
Good job.
1352
00:54:48,120 --> 00:54:49,920
REBECCA: Let's have a look
at the leaderboard.
1353
00:54:51,120 --> 00:54:53,400
With that, the robot warrior
Rob Patterson
1354
00:54:53,440 --> 00:54:54,680
goes to the top
1355
00:54:54,720 --> 00:54:56,240
ahead of Tom O'Halloran,
1356
00:54:56,280 --> 00:54:58,880
with boxer Cody Philp in third.
1357
00:54:58,960 --> 00:55:01,200
Our lightest competitor,
Stewart Furze,
1358
00:55:01,240 --> 00:55:02,840
is still well-placed,
1359
00:55:02,880 --> 00:55:04,800
and as the bungee slider to bullet
1360
00:55:04,840 --> 00:55:06,720
takes out more competitors,
1361
00:55:06,800 --> 00:55:10,120
surprisingly, Ben Cossey
is still in the top ten.
1362
00:55:13,720 --> 00:55:15,120
BEN: Still ahead,
1363
00:55:15,200 --> 00:55:18,240
the remaining two
Blue Mountains rock climbers,
1364
00:55:18,280 --> 00:55:20,760
Lee Cossey and Andrea Hah.
1365
00:55:20,840 --> 00:55:22,720
I believe that Andrea's
absolutely capable
1366
00:55:22,760 --> 00:55:23,880
of going all the way.
1367
00:55:23,960 --> 00:55:27,520
And we've seen what our lightest
male competitor can do.
1368
00:55:27,560 --> 00:55:29,000
What about our heaviest?
1369
00:55:29,080 --> 00:55:30,440
The plan of attack
for the warped wall
1370
00:55:30,480 --> 00:55:31,880
is to hit it with pace
1371
00:55:31,960 --> 00:55:33,520
and just don't stop
until we hit the top.
1372
00:55:33,560 --> 00:55:36,080
Bronson Norris is up after the break.
1373
00:55:45,720 --> 00:55:47,520
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
1374
00:55:47,600 --> 00:55:49,600
Welcome back
to Australian Ninja Warrior.

00:55:49,640 --> 00:55:50,760
BEN: Earlier tonight,
1376
00:55:50,840 --> 00:55:53,960
in the battle of our lightest
and heaviest male ninjas,
1377
00:55:54,000 --> 00:55:57,120
Stewart Furze, 58 kg,
1378
00:55:57,160 --> 00:55:58,800
made it to the tilting ladders.
1379
00:55:59,560 --> 00:56:00,760
REBECCA: Oh!
BEN: Oh!
1380

1381
00:56:02,720 --> 00:56:05,320
Our next ninja is twice as heavy.

REBECCA: Bronson Norrish,
a former stockman turned stripper,
1383
00:56:08,880 --> 00:56:11,040
turned circus performer,
turned entrepreneur.
1384
00:56:11,080 --> 00:56:12,640
No, I'm not making that up.
1385
00:56:12,720 --> 00:56:14,840
He's the heaviest ninja
on the course.
1386
00:56:14,880 --> 00:56:16,280
Bronson Norrish!
1387
00:56:16,320 --> 00:56:17,400
Come on, big boy.
1388
00:56:17,440 --> 00:56:19,000
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
1389
00:56:28,680 --> 00:56:30,320
BRONSON: I'm 120 kg.
1390
00:56:30,360 --> 00:56:32,640
188 cm or 6'3".
1391
00:56:32,680 --> 00:56:34,840
My brothers are 6'5 ", 6'8".
1392
00:56:34,880 --> 00:56:36,160
I'm the smallest in my family.
1393
00:56:37,120 --> 00:56:38,120
My old lady wanted me
1394
00:56:38,160 --> 00:56:39,200
to become a male stripper
1395
00:56:39,240 --> 00:56:40,240
before she died.
1396
00:56:43,400 --> 00:56:45,120
I have performed as a stripper
around the world.
1397
00:56:45,760 --> 00:56:49,680
London, Edinburgh, Spain,
around Australia multiple times.
1398
00:56:51,000 --> 00:56:53,520
My party trick is throwing around
fire in such a way
1399
00:56:53,560 --> 00:56:55,320
it does usually burn off my clothes,
1400
00:56:55,360 --> 00:56:56,960
so I do end up starkers.
1401
00:56:57,000 --> 00:56:58,760
(LAUGHS)
1402
00:57:00,040 --> 00:57:01,640
Tonight's going to be
a slight struggle
1403
00:57:01,680 --> 00:57:03,360
because of my weight disadvantage.
1404
00:57:03,440 --> 00:57:05,080
But I can also use it
to my advantage as well.
1405
00:57:05,800 --> 00:57:08,240
I'm here to prove
that big boys can fly
1406
00:57:08,320 --> 00:57:10,800
and we can make it up and do
what the little boys can do.
1407
00:57:12,480 --> 00:57:13,960
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
1408
00:57:14,000 --> 00:57:15,120
FREDDIE: Well, he's a stripper.
1409
00:57:15,160 --> 00:57:16,160
He's taking it off.
1410
00:57:20,640 --> 00:57:22,560
Look at the size of him.
He's 120 Ks.
1411
00:57:23,320 --> 00:57:25,080
He's the first one we've had
that's heavier than me.
1412
00:57:25,160 --> 00:57:27,280
REBECCA: (LAUGHS)
We hear it on the footy field.
1413
00:57:27,360 --> 00:57:29,560
The bigger they are,
the harder they fall.
1414
00:57:29,600 --> 00:57:31,040
(STARTER TONE)
1415
00:57:31,080 --> 00:57:32,720
What are we going to see here?
1416
00:57:34,800 --> 00:57:36,360
BEN: I mean, what a fitting name
1417
00:57:36,440 --> 00:57:39,040
for a man with this kind of stature
and structure.
1418
00:57:39,080 --> 00:57:40,160
'Bronson'.
1419
00:57:41,040 --> 00:57:42,240
Oh, yes.
1420
00:57:42,320 --> 00:57:44,600
REBECCA: Did you see how he
just sort of stepped off that thing?
1421
00:57:44,680 --> 00:57:46,920
He didn't jump
like all the other competitors.
1422
00:57:47,000 --> 00:57:49,440
We've got to be careful he doesn't
break any of the equipment here.
1423
00:57:49,480 --> 00:57:51,000
He might break the bungees here.
1424
00:57:51,040 --> 00:57:52,680
He might snap them in two.
1425
00:57:53,240 --> 00:57:55,200
BEN: How's he going to be able
to hold up that weight?
1426
00:57:55,240 --> 00:57:56,680
That's... Pow!
1427
00:57:57,440 --> 00:57:58,640
REBECCA: Wow!
BEN: Yes!
1428
00:57:59,240 --> 00:58:00,560
Bronson, you animal!
1429
00:58:00,600 --> 00:58:02,080
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
1430
00:58:04,720 --> 00:58:05,760
REBECCA: He can't, can he?
1431
00:58:05,800 --> 00:58:07,720
Surely he can't go all the way.
1432
00:58:07,760 --> 00:58:09,760
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
1433
00:58:12,120 --> 00:58:14,840
BEN: Now, this is going to be
a real challenge for Bronson.
1434
00:58:14,880 --> 00:58:16,000
REBECCA: Yeah.
1435
00:58:16,040 --> 00:58:17,160
Because the bridge of blades
1436
00:58:17,240 --> 00:58:21,160
is notorious for punishing
those who are heavy.
1437
00:58:21,240 --> 00:58:23,360
But he gets across!
REBECCA: Ooh!
1438
00:58:23,400 --> 00:58:26,320
Nasty slam into the end there.
1439
00:58:29,440 --> 00:58:32,960
As he jumped onto that platform,
you could feel it all moving.
1440
00:58:33,920 --> 00:58:35,160
Like an earthquake.
1441
00:58:36,080 --> 00:58:37,280
How's he going to do this?
1442
00:58:37,320 --> 00:58:38,400
How is he going to do this?
1443
00:58:41,240 --> 00:58:43,640
REBECCA: Now, he could break
this swing quite easily.
1444
00:58:46,120 --> 00:58:47,160
BEN: Oh, come on now.
1445
00:58:47,240 --> 00:58:49,520
If he manages to do this...
I love watching this guy.
1446
00:58:49,600 --> 00:58:53,040
..if he can sustain
his own body weight on that net,
1447
00:58:53,120 --> 00:58:55,200
then that is going to be
an unbelievable achievement.
1448
00:58:56,000 --> 00:58:57,360
Have we tested this net well?
1449
00:58:58,080 --> 00:58:59,480
Oh, my gosh.
BEN: Oh...
1450
00:59:00,400 --> 00:59:01,720
He hasn't even tucked
his legs in yet.
1451
00:59:01,800 --> 00:59:02,960
No.
Did you see that?
1452
00:59:03,040 --> 00:59:06,080
I noticed that. He didn't seem
to be feeling the pressure at all.
1453
00:59:06,120 --> 00:59:07,440
This guy is incredible.
1454
00:59:12,320 --> 00:59:13,600
FREDDIE: Hooking on
with them elbows.
1455
00:59:15,320 --> 00:59:16,560
This is unbelievable.
1456
00:59:18,240 --> 00:59:20,400
Oh, just come up, Bronson.
Come up, come up.
1457
00:59:20,480 --> 00:59:22,120
Don't touch that water.
Watch them shoulders!
1458
00:59:23,600 --> 00:59:24,600
Oh!
1459
00:59:24,640 --> 00:59:26,240
Oh, so close!
1460
00:59:27,000 --> 00:59:28,400
REBECCA: Oh, Freddie.
1461
00:59:28,480 --> 00:59:32,240
This guy is a beast
and he is eating up this course.
1462
00:59:34,080 --> 00:59:35,160
Come on, son!
1463
00:59:35,200 --> 00:59:36,920
Do it for the big 'uns everywhere!
1464
00:59:37,840 --> 00:59:39,560
FREDDIE: Unbelievable!
REBECCA: Yes!
1465
00:59:39,600 --> 00:59:41,000
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
1466
00:59:41,040 --> 00:59:43,080
Yes, yes, yes!
1467
00:59:43,120 --> 00:59:44,600
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
1468
00:59:45,880 --> 00:59:47,200
BEN: The double tilt ladder.
1469
00:59:48,040 --> 00:59:51,160
How's he going to go
supporting his own body weight?
1470
00:59:51,200 --> 00:59:53,120
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
1471
00:59:54,400 --> 00:59:56,200
REBECCA: Come on, big boy!
1472
00:59:57,960 --> 00:59:58,960
My lord.
1473
00:59:59,000 --> 01:00:00,560
Look at those arms.
1474
01:00:00,600 --> 01:00:02,640
And aren't they working hard?
1475
01:00:02,720 --> 01:00:05,840
Now, the Furbinator made it
to the second last rung.
1476
01:00:05,880 --> 01:00:06,920
Blooming heck.
1477
01:00:07,720 --> 01:00:09,320
BEN: Can Bronson beat that?
1478
01:00:10,960 --> 01:00:11,960
Mate.
1479
01:00:12,040 --> 01:00:13,600
BEN: Oh, how do you do this?
REBECCA: Ooh...
1480
01:00:13,640 --> 01:00:15,360
I don't know. Look how low he is.
1481
01:00:18,200 --> 01:00:20,080
Oh, look at the shoulders!
1482
01:00:21,120 --> 01:00:22,600
He's just got this body
1483
01:00:22,640 --> 01:00:24,440
that you can't take your eyes off.
1484
01:00:24,480 --> 01:00:25,720
Oh, but this grip is hard!
1485
01:00:25,800 --> 01:00:27,040
BEN: Oh!
REBECCA: Oh!
1486
01:00:27,080 --> 01:00:28,360
(BUZZER)
1487
01:00:28,400 --> 01:00:31,440
Bronson Norrish, you are a legend.
1488
01:00:31,480 --> 01:00:32,720
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
1489
01:00:32,760 --> 01:00:33,960
Yeah, the splash was like
1490
01:00:34,040 --> 01:00:36,480
when one of those killer whales
does a show at Sea World.
1491
01:00:37,160 --> 01:00:39,840
We've just had a tsunami here
on Ninja Island. (LAUGHS)
1492
01:00:41,120 --> 01:00:43,800
And this is why we love
Australian Ninja Warrior.
1493
01:00:43,880 --> 01:00:46,120
Just when you think
you've seen it all,
1494
01:00:46,200 --> 01:00:50,040
a big unit like Bronson Norrish
bulldozers this course.
1495
01:00:50,080 --> 01:00:51,440
Look at the grip.
1496
01:00:52,160 --> 01:00:53,800
Going, going,
1497
01:00:53,840 --> 01:00:54,880
gone!
1498
01:00:54,920 --> 01:00:56,320
But not forgotten.
1499
01:01:00,880 --> 01:01:03,680
Mate, that... that was unbelievable.
1500
01:01:03,720 --> 01:01:04,720
When you started,
1501
01:01:04,800 --> 01:01:06,680
I thought you was going to pull
the frame down.
1502
01:01:06,760 --> 01:01:08,680
Do you not think
the weight goes against you?
1503
01:01:08,760 --> 01:01:10,960
The problem, man, when you start
with the weight, you can't stop.
1504
01:01:11,440 --> 01:01:12,440
Just keep going.
1505
01:01:13,080 --> 01:01:14,240
How were the arms feeling?
1506
01:01:14,280 --> 01:01:15,680
You give way at the end.
1507
01:01:16,240 --> 01:01:17,480
Was it just the weight coming down?
1508
01:01:18,080 --> 01:01:20,280
Doing the cargo nets,
absolutely destroyed my arms,
1509
01:01:20,320 --> 01:01:22,080
so by then I was, um, I was gone.
1510
01:01:22,680 --> 01:01:23,760
And I've been getting, mate,
1511
01:01:23,840 --> 01:01:25,400
you're a stripper, aren't you,
by trade?
1512
01:01:25,440 --> 01:01:27,000
Ex-stripper, now circus performer.
1513
01:01:27,080 --> 01:01:29,360
Well, I think a few people
would like you to take your top off,
1514
01:01:29,400 --> 01:01:30,400
see what's under.
1515
01:01:30,440 --> 01:01:31,480
Here we go.
1516
01:01:31,520 --> 01:01:33,400
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
1517
01:01:34,600 --> 01:01:35,720
Next season!
1518
01:01:36,720 --> 01:01:38,240
BEN: Don't worry about next season,
Bronson.
1519
01:01:38,840 --> 01:01:40,640
You are through to the semifinals.
1520
01:01:43,080 --> 01:01:46,280
REBECCA: And the smart money says
our next ninja will be there too.
1521
01:01:46,360 --> 01:01:49,040
One of the best rock climbers
in Australia
1522
01:01:49,080 --> 01:01:50,560
and do we have to say,
1523
01:01:50,640 --> 01:01:53,440
one of our hottest favourites
to win Ninja Warrior.
1524
01:01:53,520 --> 01:01:56,240
Last year, he finished
seventh overall
1525
01:01:56,280 --> 01:01:57,800
and now that he's back,
1526
01:01:57,880 --> 01:02:01,880
we can ask, can he make it
all the way to Mount Midoriyama?
1527
01:02:03,800 --> 01:02:07,640
Put your hands together
for Lee Cossey!
1528
01:02:07,680 --> 01:02:10,160
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
1529
01:02:12,360 --> 01:02:13,760
FREDDIE: Last years
stage two finalist,
1530
01:02:13,800 --> 01:02:15,040
Lee Cossey on the start line.
1531
01:02:15,120 --> 01:02:18,080
Already seen brother Ben
go out on the cargo net.
1532
01:02:18,160 --> 01:02:20,360
He'll want to go one further
than that tonight.
1533
01:02:20,440 --> 01:02:23,760
BEN: There's Ben and Andrea,
and Andrea's up soon.
1534
01:02:23,800 --> 01:02:25,320
(STARTER TONE)
1535
01:02:26,360 --> 01:02:29,120
Here he goes. Lee Cossey, and fast.
1536
01:02:29,200 --> 01:02:31,360
He's not hanging around
on the quintuple steps.
1537
01:02:31,400 --> 01:02:32,800
Straight through there.
1538
01:02:33,280 --> 01:02:35,040
REBECCA: Oh! That was crazy fast.
1539
01:02:35,080 --> 01:02:36,440
Steady on, steady on.
1540
01:02:36,520 --> 01:02:38,480
This is the toughest obstacle
of them all.
1541
01:02:41,200 --> 01:02:42,200
BEN: Alright.
1542
01:02:42,280 --> 01:02:43,440
Oh, no! Hang on!
REBECCA: Oh!
1543
01:02:44,680 --> 01:02:45,880
That's a shocker!
(BUZZER)
1544
01:02:46,480 --> 01:02:47,920
Lee Cossey
1545
01:02:47,960 --> 01:02:50,200
has just taken a massive dive.
1546
01:02:52,320 --> 01:02:55,200
Lee has made the same mistake
as Adam Eyles.
1547
01:02:55,280 --> 01:02:58,280
He wasn't watching the slider
when it took off
1548
01:02:58,320 --> 01:03:00,160
and he's then dragged off the edge
1549
01:03:00,240 --> 01:03:02,600
and like Adam, there's no catching up
from there.
1550
01:03:06,080 --> 01:03:08,640
Lee, do I have to ask
how you're feeling?
1551
01:03:09,160 --> 01:03:10,440
Oh, a little bit surprised.
1552
01:03:10,520 --> 01:03:12,400
I let it go
just a little bit early
1553
01:03:12,440 --> 01:03:13,840
and then it took it with me,
1554
01:03:13,920 --> 01:03:16,400
and I'm like, you can't save it
from that point, so...
1555
01:03:16,440 --> 01:03:17,440
Is this is the obstacle
1556
01:03:17,520 --> 01:03:19,320
that all the ninjas
are talking about backstage?
1557
01:03:19,360 --> 01:03:20,600
It's claimed a few already tonight.
1558
01:03:20,640 --> 01:03:21,640
I think so, yeah.
1559
01:03:21,720 --> 01:03:24,960
I think surprised a lot of people
tonight. So, myself included.
1560
01:03:25,000 --> 01:03:26,360
And Andrea's still yet to come.
1561
01:03:26,440 --> 01:03:28,320
Can Andrea get through this?
Definitely, definitely.
1562
01:03:28,400 --> 01:03:29,880
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
She can do it.
1563
01:03:30,640 --> 01:03:32,560
It's alright, man.
Ladies and gentlemen, Lee Cossey!
1564
01:03:32,600 --> 01:03:34,360
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
1565
01:03:36,680 --> 01:03:37,800
REBECCA: Coming up:
1566
01:03:37,880 --> 01:03:40,960
Five women have made it
up the warped wall this season.
1567
01:03:41,040 --> 01:03:44,640
Now, the one who inspired
them all has her turn.
1568
01:03:45,280 --> 01:03:48,760
Andrea Hah, our very last ninja
of the heats.
1569
01:03:49,240 --> 01:03:50,520
Feeling really nervous actually.
1570
01:03:50,600 --> 01:03:52,680
Um, but really excited
at the same time.
1571
01:03:52,760 --> 01:03:55,880
First Australian woman
up the warped wall.
1572
01:03:55,920 --> 01:03:57,720
Can she do it again tonight?
1573
01:03:57,760 --> 01:03:59,400
Find out next.
1574
01:04:09,480 --> 01:04:11,280
BEN: Welcome back to Ninja Island
1575
01:04:11,360 --> 01:04:15,000
where we've just seen Lee Cossey
crash out early.
1576
01:04:15,080 --> 01:04:16,040
BEN: Oh, what?
REBECCA: Oh!
1577
01:04:16,560 --> 01:04:17,880
That's a shocker!
1578
01:04:18,800 --> 01:04:20,880
Now, in the final run of the heats,
1579
01:04:20,920 --> 01:04:23,680
it's his partner's turn, Andrea Hah.
1580
01:04:24,720 --> 01:04:25,840
Now, remember,
1581
01:04:25,880 --> 01:04:27,840
in America, it took six years
1582
01:04:27,920 --> 01:04:30,680
for a woman to conquer
the warped wall.
1583
01:04:30,720 --> 01:04:33,960
Andrea did it in our very first year
1584
01:04:34,040 --> 01:04:37,080
and she's carved the path
for others to follow.
1585
01:04:39,560 --> 01:04:40,800
REBECCA: And she's got it!
1586
01:04:40,840 --> 01:04:41,960
BEN: Olivia Vivian.
1587
01:04:42,000 --> 01:04:44,120
What? What? What?
1588
01:04:45,600 --> 01:04:46,800
Betsy Burnett.
1589
01:04:48,120 --> 01:04:49,240
Celeste Dixon.
1590
01:04:49,280 --> 01:04:50,520
She can't believe it!
1591
01:04:51,560 --> 01:04:52,600
India Henry.
1592
01:04:52,640 --> 01:04:54,560
REBECCA: Sensational stuff!
1593
01:04:54,600 --> 01:04:56,280
And Georgia Bonora.
1594
01:04:56,320 --> 01:04:58,520
REBECCA: You are brilliant!
1595
01:04:58,560 --> 01:04:59,720
Yes!
1596
01:04:59,760 --> 01:05:01,600
BEN: Now, the question stands,
1597
01:05:02,400 --> 01:05:05,920
can Andrea Hah join them
at the top of the wall?
1598
01:05:07,200 --> 01:05:09,960
AUDIENCE (CHANTING): Andrea! Andrea!
Andrea! Andrea!
1599
01:05:12,360 --> 01:05:13,760
REBECCA: Well, well, well.
1600
01:05:15,000 --> 01:05:17,720
We are looking
at a Ninja Warrior legend.
1601
01:05:17,800 --> 01:05:21,240
Even her climbing mates are in awe
of what she's done.
1602
01:05:22,080 --> 01:05:23,800
What has she got in store for us
tonight?
1603
01:05:24,960 --> 01:05:26,120
(STARTER TONE)
1604
01:05:28,080 --> 01:05:29,400
Here we go.
1605
01:05:30,040 --> 01:05:32,320
Welcome back, Andrea.
1606
01:05:32,400 --> 01:05:34,680
There is a lot of pressure
on this woman tonight.
1607
01:05:35,480 --> 01:05:36,480
Good one.
1608
01:05:36,560 --> 01:05:38,520
BEN: She's the competitor
in season one
1609
01:05:38,600 --> 01:05:41,280
that I just loved to watch the most
because she changed the game.
1610
01:05:41,320 --> 01:05:43,040
Well, talking about game changers,
1611
01:05:43,120 --> 01:05:46,880
the bungee slider's changed
the game tonight for so many
1612
01:05:46,920 --> 01:05:47,960
and she knows that.
1613
01:05:48,000 --> 01:05:49,280
BEN: Let's have a look at the grip.
1614
01:05:49,960 --> 01:05:51,560
It's a bit of a low grip, I think.
1615
01:05:54,800 --> 01:05:55,920
Come on.
1616
01:05:56,480 --> 01:05:57,600
Andrea.
1617
01:05:59,960 --> 01:06:04,960
REBECCA: Oh, the amount of pressure
on this woman would be insane.
1618
01:06:05,960 --> 01:06:07,640
Oh, she's done it. Great dismount.
1619
01:06:07,720 --> 01:06:10,920
She is through. She passes
the first big test.
1620
01:06:10,960 --> 01:06:12,320
She just can't bomb out.
1621
01:06:12,360 --> 01:06:13,960
She cannot bomb out.
1622
01:06:15,360 --> 01:06:16,400
Now, the bridge of blades.
1623
01:06:16,440 --> 01:06:17,440
These blades need power
1624
01:06:17,480 --> 01:06:18,680
or at least speed.
1625
01:06:18,720 --> 01:06:20,360
Yes! And she's through!
1626
01:06:21,080 --> 01:06:22,240
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
1627
01:06:25,440 --> 01:06:26,920
Get real high!
1628
01:06:26,960 --> 01:06:28,320
REBECCA: Andrea Hah.
1629
01:06:28,360 --> 01:06:30,120
She is one tough cookie.
1630
01:06:30,200 --> 01:06:32,880
BEN: Now, this is the one
that got Ben early on.
1631
01:06:32,920 --> 01:06:34,360
It's got to be playing on her mind.
1632
01:06:34,440 --> 01:06:36,600
There's nothing stable
to push off from,
1633
01:06:36,640 --> 01:06:38,920
so the slightest slip up
1634
01:06:39,000 --> 01:06:40,600
and all of a sudden
you're in the pool.
1635
01:06:41,280 --> 01:06:43,960
She's going to get as close
to that net as she can,
1636
01:06:44,000 --> 01:06:46,280
so she doesn't have to jump too far.
1637
01:06:46,320 --> 01:06:47,480
Ooh!
1638
01:06:48,120 --> 01:06:49,200
Not easy to negotiate.
1639
01:06:50,040 --> 01:06:51,360
She's on!
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
1640
01:06:51,440 --> 01:06:54,520
REBECCA: And she's now gone further
than both Cosseys.
1641
01:06:54,560 --> 01:06:56,160
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
1642
01:06:57,240 --> 01:06:58,480
BEN: How's she looking, Freddie?
1643
01:06:58,560 --> 01:07:01,720
Her bottom getting perilously close
to the water.
1644
01:07:01,800 --> 01:07:03,360
Nice and high!
Yeah.
1645
01:07:03,440 --> 01:07:05,000
The Cossey brothers
need to let her know.
1646
01:07:05,040 --> 01:07:06,600
Keep - tell her where she is.
1647
01:07:07,560 --> 01:07:08,640
Keep the head up!
1648
01:07:09,160 --> 01:07:10,720
Look at the tension
in that right arm.
1649
01:07:10,800 --> 01:07:13,400
Look at the veins and the power
in the bicep,
1650
01:07:13,440 --> 01:07:14,600
pulling her whole body up.
1651
01:07:14,640 --> 01:07:15,840
Come on!
1652
01:07:15,880 --> 01:07:17,000
Ooh!
1653
01:07:17,040 --> 01:07:18,400
Head up! Head up!
1654
01:07:18,480 --> 01:07:19,800
BEN: She's so good.
REBECCA: She is.
1655
01:07:20,520 --> 01:07:21,560
Ooh, look at that ankle.
1656
01:07:21,640 --> 01:07:24,000
She's got her foot stuck
but she's not panicking.
1657
01:07:24,080 --> 01:07:26,520
She's very calm about it
and methodical about it.
1658
01:07:26,560 --> 01:07:27,840
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
1659
01:07:31,480 --> 01:07:32,840
Now, this is right up her alley.
1660
01:07:32,880 --> 01:07:34,480
Yeah, the double tilt ladder.
1661
01:07:35,480 --> 01:07:37,400
It calls for a lot
of climbing skills.
1662
01:07:37,480 --> 01:07:41,000
The transition is a big stretch
for our smaller ninjas.
1663
01:07:41,040 --> 01:07:43,840
Andrea is only 5'4".
1664
01:07:43,880 --> 01:07:46,080
REBECCA: And here comes the tilt.
1665
01:07:46,120 --> 01:07:47,680
She's prepared for it.
1666
01:07:48,560 --> 01:07:51,160
Oh, look at her hanging there
with just one arm.
1667
01:07:51,200 --> 01:07:52,440
Wow!
1668
01:07:53,600 --> 01:07:54,600
Big swing!
1669
01:07:54,640 --> 01:07:56,320
BEN: And now, look how low that is
1670
01:07:56,360 --> 01:07:58,120
and now she's got to get the height.
1671
01:07:58,160 --> 01:07:59,200
Let's watch this.
1672
01:07:59,240 --> 01:08:00,480
Not yet.
1673
01:08:01,160 --> 01:08:02,200
Yeah!
1674
01:08:02,240 --> 01:08:03,240
Yes!
1675
01:08:04,760 --> 01:08:05,760
REBECCA: Oh!
1676
01:08:05,800 --> 01:08:07,160
Gee, it's hard to watch.
1677
01:08:07,200 --> 01:08:09,440
Particularly, watch a champion
1678
01:08:09,520 --> 01:08:11,680
because you just don't want
them to falter.
1679
01:08:12,760 --> 01:08:14,760
BEN: I don't want to get
too far ahead of ourselves
1680
01:08:14,800 --> 01:08:16,800
but we all know what's up next.
1681
01:08:16,880 --> 01:08:19,160
One or two swings will get you there,
Andrea.
1682
01:08:21,280 --> 01:08:22,560
BEN: Yes!
REBECCA: Yes!
1683
01:08:24,320 --> 01:08:26,760
Welcome back, Andrea Hah!
1684
01:08:26,800 --> 01:08:28,360
Welcome back!
1685
01:08:28,400 --> 01:08:30,000
BEN: What about the smile on her?
1686
01:08:30,080 --> 01:08:35,240
Last year, she beat the warped wall
on the first go in her semifinal.
1687
01:08:35,320 --> 01:08:36,960
But she didn't get up there
in the heats.
1688
01:08:37,040 --> 01:08:39,520
REBECCA: (LAUGHS) She said,
"Oh, here it is again."
1689
01:08:39,600 --> 01:08:41,160
"I thought they would've
got rid of it."
1690
01:08:41,200 --> 01:08:42,360
Sorry, Andrea.
1691
01:08:42,400 --> 01:08:43,600
The wall is back.
1692
01:08:43,680 --> 01:08:47,840
She broke a Ninja Warrior record
in season one
1693
01:08:47,920 --> 01:08:51,040
and now has the opportunity
to put herself in the box seat
1694
01:08:51,080 --> 01:08:53,040
to own season two.
1695
01:08:53,080 --> 01:08:54,400
Andrea Hah!
1696
01:08:54,440 --> 01:08:55,440
Oh!
1697
01:08:55,480 --> 01:08:56,520
She touched it.
1698
01:08:56,560 --> 01:08:57,560
She touched it.
1699
01:08:57,640 --> 01:09:00,160
And she did just take
a nasty tumble.
1700
01:09:00,240 --> 01:09:02,640
I don't think she's hurt herself
which is great news.
1701
01:09:02,720 --> 01:09:06,160
But just add another ton
of pressure.
1702
01:09:06,240 --> 01:09:08,520
She only gets another two goes
at this.
1703
01:09:08,560 --> 01:09:09,800
You can do it, babe!
1704
01:09:10,400 --> 01:09:11,880
BEN: She knows she can get there,
Beck.
1705
01:09:12,760 --> 01:09:13,840
She knows she can do it.
1706
01:09:14,480 --> 01:09:16,440
Come on, Andrea.
1707
01:09:16,480 --> 01:09:18,200
Australia is behind you.
1708
01:09:19,240 --> 01:09:22,960
Will she be a major contender
in season two?
1709
01:09:23,000 --> 01:09:24,160
Go, Andrea!
1710
01:09:24,240 --> 01:09:25,640
Up you go!
BEN: Andrea Hah.
1711
01:09:25,720 --> 01:09:27,480
Oh, she wasn't even close there,
Beck.
1712
01:09:27,520 --> 01:09:28,520
What are we seeing here?
1713
01:09:28,560 --> 01:09:30,000
That's two strikes.
1714
01:09:30,040 --> 01:09:31,520
Another and she's gone.
1715
01:09:32,120 --> 01:09:34,440
Believe in yourself, Andrea Hah.
You've been here before.
1716
01:09:34,520 --> 01:09:36,440
You've done it,
you know you can do it.
1717
01:09:36,480 --> 01:09:38,120
Andrea! More time.
1718
01:09:38,200 --> 01:09:40,720
AUDIENCE (CHANTING):
Beat the wall! Beat the wall!
1719
01:09:41,600 --> 01:09:42,720
REBECCA: She looks up at us.
1720
01:09:42,800 --> 01:09:45,240
Andrea, we want you to get up
this warped wall.
1721
01:09:45,320 --> 01:09:47,640
Everyone here on the island
is behind you
1722
01:09:47,720 --> 01:09:52,000
and everybody at home
wants you to get up this wall.
1723
01:09:53,480 --> 01:09:54,600
Going to have a heart attack.
1724
01:09:55,520 --> 01:09:57,280
BEN: You're going up the wall,
Andrea.
1725
01:09:58,040 --> 01:10:00,320
You are going up that wall.
1726
01:10:00,400 --> 01:10:02,920
Everyone here on Ninja Island
knows it.
1727
01:10:03,680 --> 01:10:04,840
Come on, Andrea Hah!
1728
01:10:10,480 --> 01:10:12,440
REBECCA: Up she goes! Yes!
BEN: Yes!
1729
01:10:12,520 --> 01:10:14,360
She's done it on the third time!
Yes!
1730
01:10:14,440 --> 01:10:16,320
Andrea Hah!
You good thing!
1731
01:10:16,400 --> 01:10:20,080
The woman that inspired
so many female athletes
1732
01:10:20,160 --> 01:10:25,240
around this country has mastered
the warped wall once again!
1733
01:10:26,920 --> 01:10:28,200
BEN: Oh, that was good!
1734
01:10:28,240 --> 01:10:29,280
Andrea!
1735
01:10:29,320 --> 01:10:30,320
Andrea!
1736
01:10:31,080 --> 01:10:32,080
Wow!
1737
01:10:32,120 --> 01:10:33,120
BEN: Hi!
1738
01:10:33,640 --> 01:10:34,680
Fancy seeing you here.
1739
01:10:34,720 --> 01:10:35,720
Yeah.
1740
01:10:35,760 --> 01:10:37,280
About time. (LAUGHS)
1741
01:10:38,800 --> 01:10:40,000
I forgot how high it was.
1742
01:10:42,280 --> 01:10:45,160
BEN: Andrea wins an epic battle
with the wall.
1743
01:10:45,240 --> 01:10:48,560
Just a fingertip in it
on her first attempt,
1744
01:10:48,600 --> 01:10:50,240
followed by that heavy fall.
1745
01:10:51,600 --> 01:10:54,120
Nowhere near on the second attempt.
1746
01:10:55,520 --> 01:10:56,560
And then this,
1747
01:10:57,600 --> 01:11:01,600
to confirm her place among the greats
of Australian Ninja Warrior.
1748
01:11:01,640 --> 01:11:04,720
Andrea Hah, you superstar.
1749
01:11:05,560 --> 01:11:07,160
Andrea, come and...
Come and get in here.
1750
01:11:09,320 --> 01:11:10,320
So good.
1751
01:11:10,920 --> 01:11:11,920
So good.
1752
01:11:12,920 --> 01:11:14,080
Well, that's how you do it, boys.
1753
01:11:14,120 --> 01:11:15,400
I know, yeah. (LAUGHS)
1754
01:11:15,480 --> 01:11:16,920
Andrea, you was flying
through the course
1755
01:11:16,960 --> 01:11:18,760
and then you get the warped wall.
1756
01:11:18,840 --> 01:11:21,480
You're the first female ever
on Australian Ninja Warrior
1757
01:11:21,520 --> 01:11:22,680
to get to the top.
1758
01:11:22,760 --> 01:11:24,680
But what's going through your mind
this time round?
1759
01:11:24,760 --> 01:11:27,200
I just didn't want to not be able
to make it again on the heats.
1760
01:11:27,240 --> 01:11:28,240
Yeah.
1761
01:11:28,920 --> 01:11:30,440
And you got to the semis
last time round.
1762
01:11:31,120 --> 01:11:32,480
You reckon you can go
further this time?
1763
01:11:32,520 --> 01:11:33,520
Get to the finals?
1764
01:11:34,240 --> 01:11:35,560
Oh, I'd love to hit the buzzer
again.
1765
01:11:35,600 --> 01:11:36,640
Yep.
1766
01:11:36,720 --> 01:11:38,200
Alright then, Andrea.
Thanks very much.
1767
01:11:38,240 --> 01:11:39,680
Ladies and gentlemen, Andrea Hah!
1768
01:11:39,720 --> 01:11:41,720
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
1769
01:11:43,560 --> 01:11:45,920
REBECCA: To the leaderboard
for the last time in the heats.
1770
01:11:45,960 --> 01:11:48,080
Our final 20 qualifiers
1771
01:11:48,160 --> 01:11:50,760
start with the robot warrior,
Rob Patterson,
1772
01:11:50,840 --> 01:11:54,040
and Blue Mountains climber,
Tom O'Halloran.
1773
01:11:54,080 --> 01:11:56,640
Ex-boxer Cody Philp is through.
1774
01:11:56,680 --> 01:11:58,480
Andrea Hah was the ninth
1775
01:11:58,520 --> 01:12:00,760
and last ninja up the warped wall,
1776
01:12:00,840 --> 01:12:03,680
followed by the Furbinator,
Stewart Furze.
1777
01:12:03,760 --> 01:12:06,200
The big man, Bronson Norrish,
is through
1778
01:12:06,280 --> 01:12:09,120
and so, too,
are both Cossey brothers.
1779
01:12:09,160 --> 01:12:10,640
Ben in 14th place
1780
01:12:10,720 --> 01:12:14,440
and thanks to the high number
of fails on the bungee slider,
1781
01:12:14,520 --> 01:12:18,480
Lee Cossey's fast time saw him
sneak through into 18th.
1782
01:12:19,080 --> 01:12:20,760
Well, that brings us to the end
1783
01:12:20,800 --> 01:12:23,080
of what has been a night of battle
1784
01:12:23,160 --> 01:12:26,280
between our ninjas
and that bungee slider to bullet.
1785
01:12:26,320 --> 01:12:27,440
What a nightmare, Beck.
1786
01:12:27,480 --> 01:12:28,560
Oh, that is right, Ben.
1787
01:12:28,640 --> 01:12:30,640
All the athletes
that qualified this year
1788
01:12:30,720 --> 01:12:33,320
are physically fit enough
to conquer that obstacle
1789
01:12:33,360 --> 01:12:34,960
but it psyched them out.
1790
01:12:36,040 --> 01:12:40,160
Now, while Andrea Hah
and Bronson Norrish were spectacular,
1791
01:12:40,200 --> 01:12:41,840
the performance of the night
1792
01:12:41,880 --> 01:12:43,040
has to go to Rob Patterson.
1793
01:12:43,080 --> 01:12:44,800
Fastest up the wall
1794
01:12:44,880 --> 01:12:47,680
and the one to watch
in the semifinals.
1795
01:12:47,720 --> 01:12:48,840
(HORN SOUNDS)
1796
01:12:50,840 --> 01:12:52,800
Last year's grand finalist,
Rob Patterson,
1797
01:12:52,880 --> 01:12:55,840
showing he's got what it takes
to do it all again this year.
1798
01:12:55,920 --> 01:12:59,000
But let's see
how he and the other qualifiers go
1799
01:12:59,040 --> 01:13:00,960
as we move towards the finals.
1800
01:13:01,000 --> 01:13:02,520
But for now, signing off
1801
01:13:02,600 --> 01:13:05,680
from another exciting night
here on Ninja Island,
1802
01:13:05,720 --> 01:13:07,280
we will see you next time
1803
01:13:07,360 --> 01:13:09,920
when Australian Ninja Warrior
returns!
1804
01:13:09,960 --> 01:13:10,960
Good night.
1805
01:13:12,120 --> 01:13:13,800
BEN: The heats are over.
1806
01:13:13,880 --> 01:13:18,320
But the journey to the top
of Mount Midoriyama has just begun,
1807
01:13:18,400 --> 01:13:22,200
as the next week,
the epic semifinals begin.
1808
01:13:23,200 --> 01:13:24,200
MAN: This time around,
1809
01:13:24,280 --> 01:13:25,960
I can only expect
the semis to be even harder.
1810
01:13:26,000 --> 01:13:29,480
The brutal course is 50% longer
1811
01:13:29,560 --> 01:13:32,960
and the obstacles are harder
than anything seen before.
1812
01:13:33,840 --> 01:13:36,320
ANDREA: You just have to believe
in yourself and give it everything.
1813
01:13:36,360 --> 01:13:37,560
BEN: The best of the best
1814
01:13:37,640 --> 01:13:39,680
have earned their chance
to conquer it.
1815
01:13:39,760 --> 01:13:42,080
MAN: In a way, I've been training
for this moment my whole life.
1816
01:13:42,160 --> 01:13:46,120
BEN: Among them,
a staggering 20 female ninjas,
1817
01:13:46,640 --> 01:13:49,400
six of whom have already beaten
the wall.
1818
01:13:49,480 --> 01:13:51,800
WOMAN: And now, I want to be
the first female
1819
01:13:51,840 --> 01:13:53,080
up in that grand final.
1820
01:13:53,120 --> 01:13:55,280
BEN: The pressure is intense.
1821
01:13:55,320 --> 01:13:56,320
You only get one shot.
1822
01:13:56,360 --> 01:13:57,840
BEN: There's no room for error.
1823
01:13:57,920 --> 01:13:59,800
One slipup could cost
you everything.
1824
01:13:59,840 --> 01:14:02,240
BEN: Every ninja is laser focused.
1825
01:14:02,320 --> 01:14:03,920
WOMAN: I've got one destination
in mind.
1826
01:14:04,000 --> 01:14:06,040
Fly through that course
and make my way to the grand final.
1827
01:14:06,120 --> 01:14:07,560
MAN: The grand final.
MAN: Grand final.
1828
01:14:07,600 --> 01:14:08,920
MAN: See you soon, Mount Midoriyama.
1829
01:14:08,960 --> 01:14:11,600
BEN: And it all begins Sunday night
1830
01:14:11,640 --> 01:14:13,360
on Australian Ninja Warrior.
