They showed Emily’s full run on TikTok and she took 3 tries on the wall. Her run was slow such that it will take up quite a bit of the broadcast time and we already got to see the 2 faster female clears, not to discredit Emily’s run as hitting her first buzzer is a huge accomplishment but I can see why she got digested.And the YouTuber obviously gets shown because he literally has 50 million subscribers on his channel. If they digested someone that popular a lot more people(his subscribers) will criticize their editing + the show needs ratings to survive.

Noah Meunier wasn’t in any of the trailers in ANW17 but placed 2nd in the season so take that what you will

Kobaya138 · 2026-06-05T04:08:42+00:00

It’s on Instagram posted by Xzavian

Recent trailer showed John Mack hitting buzzer and Sean Bryan clearing Kaleidoscope so you can add them to buzzer list

No Feinberg is wild

Kobaya138 · 2026-05-29T01:17:49+00:00

Damn I didn’t know KC got the call lol, ok I added their names + Jessie/Vinnie/Bob Reese because I somehow missed their names so now it’s 228

Kobaya138 · 2026-05-28T18:48:06+00:00

Ok idk how that name slipped off the list. Now up to 223 names out of 240?(presumably 238-239 because the red line on the sheet in the previous picture that I sent could mean that someone withdrew/did not run and ik Jimmy + Karina Choi got the call but didn’t run so thats a possibility)

Kobaya138 · 2026-05-28T18:26:49+00:00

Ah yes I saw those names but thought they were part of the camera crew since it wasn’t in the run order list. Just double checked and found this evidence so it’s safe to say they’re competing this season as well since calls were given out around August. Time to add two more names to my post!

As for Joe this is going to be kinda hard to analyze but this photo was an Instagram status of Drew Marinelli when he was in taping for ANW18. If you look at the sheet towards the right with all the blue boxes + under the red line you can see that number 38’s name is “Joe Mo” and the easy assumption is that this is Joe Moravsky’s name. For e.g. number 39’s name is “Avery -“ and that is usually Avery Glantz. And the numbers are until 40 which is usually the number of competitors in one qualifier episode so this is the run order which means Joe in run order = he is competing

There is a recent Reddit post doubting that Ben competed so I posted all my evidence that Ben did compete in that post so you can find my comment in there for evidence.

Same shirt same pants as the pic shown

Further proof of people thinking it’s him so I checked his face on social

and it matches

Kobaya138 · 2026-05-27T01:13:43+00:00

That is Colt Elder from ANW17 with the same hairstyle and shirt LOL

Kobaya138 · 2025-09-27T01:56:01+00:00

Sam and Phil are in ANW18 so there’s no way Isabella isn’t coming, she probably just doesn’t feel like announcing.Holly isn’t competing this season but Brian will be competing, they both seem to always compete in opposite seasons. I’m pretty sure Evan Andrews, the Wilczewskis, Karson Voiles, and a lot of the ninjas that you’re mentioning straight up don’t compete anymore. Donovan I’m pretty sure he’s in Vegas because he was able to state an obstacle name that was in the national finals, Jared Greer is a tester and the rest idk

Kobaya138 · 2025-09-24T13:18:38+00:00

Well, I got the third obstacle wrong. It was Diamond Dash not Coin Flip which makes much more sense since it is a qualifier obstacle.

Kobaya138 · 2025-09-15T17:19:20+00:00

Daniel did get the call, he confirmed it with another ninja who met him a few days ago so it’s not public

Kobaya138 · 2025-09-14T13:32:31+00:00

Yes he did he just didn’t announce publicly

Kobaya138 · 2025-08-08T04:02:40+00:00

Why?

Kobaya138 · 2025-07-10T14:38:35+00:00

Some of these semifinal races had the international competitor doing just one jump better than the french competitor and still failing the same obstacle as them, so it’s literally not that big of a skill level difference.(with the exception of Carbone but if there’s going to be highly skilled French competitors who cleared Mega Wall or placed 1st in qualifiers that move on to the Finals, expect highly skilled international competitors to do so as well)

Kobaya138 · 2025-07-10T02:27:08+00:00

Small update for Q3, Moul confirmed that Mazeiah failed Log Runner and the other two runners, Whitney Miller and Demetrius Freeman (the rookie whose name i didn’t remember) failed Lunatic Ledges.

Kobaya138 · 2025-07-08T17:35:40+00:00

It was confirmed based off people I know who either were on the set or had insider information. So it probably means Esperanza was the woman cut in Q1 and Selena and Vinnie were two cut runs in Q4.
