00:00:01,200 --> 00:00:04,120
BEN: The toughest obstacle course
on the planet is back.
2
00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:05,640
Oh, he hangs on!
3
00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:09,040
A new home in Melbourne
with brand-new obstacles.
4
00:00:09,120 --> 00:00:10,680
Oh, no!
REBECCA: No!
5
00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:13,800
None tougher than
the Mega Warped Wall.
6
00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:16,960
Oh, he got more than a fingertip
on it that time!
7
00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:20,880
And for the first time ever,
a winner will be declared.
8
00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:25,760
Last night, the first
18 semi-finalists were chosen,
9
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:28,600
among them, 'Ninja Poet' Alex Cusack,
10
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:30,480
who made it up the Warped Wall.
11
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:33,000
Yeah! He's up that Warped Wall!
12
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:34,840
And Ashlin Herbert,
13
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:36,960
who proved he's still the one
to watch...
14
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:38,920
He is flying!
15
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:42,600
..becoming the only ninja
to conquer that Mega Warped Wall.
16
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:47,360
Ladies and gentlemen, Ashlin Herbert
is back for season three!
17
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:48,400
Whoo!
18
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:50,760
Tonight, heat number two,
19
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:53,920
and a new course
with brutal new obstacles,
20
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:56,520
plus the Mega Warped Wall
21
00:00:56,600 --> 00:01:01,160
with $5,000 waiting
for any ninja who can conquer it.
22
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:03,200
40 new ninjas
are up for the challenge,
23
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:07,160
among them professional food eater
Riley Murphy.
24
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:08,840
You can expect me
to take on Ninja Warrior
25
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:10,480
the same way I take down
a food challenge.
26
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:12,680
I can't wait to show everybody
what I can do.
27
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:15,000
Rock climber Raphaela Wiget.
28
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:16,440
I don't know how I'm gonna do.
29
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:17,880
I don't know what's gonna happen,
30
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:19,320
but I'm gonna give this everything.
31
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:21,240
Plus last year's
second place finisher,
32
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:22,480
Bryson Klein.
33
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:25,080
What a time! Holy smoke!
34
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:27,600
Our oldest ninja, Pa Rambo.
35
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:30,640
MAN: Pa Rambo
is not slowing down at all.
36
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:33,000
And fan favourite Ninja Twitch.
37
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:35,320
I know I can...
I can get that red button.
38
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:36,360
Oh!
39
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:38,720
Only 18 will qualify,
40
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,360
as the competition heats up
41
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:45,440
in the search for Australia's first
Ninja Warrior.

(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
44
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:56,560
Well, we've promised exciting
new obstacles here in Melbourne,
45
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:58,440
and we have delivered.
46
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:00,640
And so did our ninjas, Ben.
47
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:03,960
You need to just look at the sheer
scale of some of these obstacles,
48
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:07,360
and we are so impressed with
the determination of our ninjas.
49
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:09,680
But tonight
the course changes again.
50
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:11,440
Freddie?
51
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:13,880
FREDDIE: I tell you what, Ben,
it looks bit and it looks scary.
52
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:16,320
This behind me
is the Butterfly Wall.
53
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:19,640
Our contestants will have
to leap nearly two metres
54
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:21,280
onto the wing of the butterfly,
55
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:25,400
then somehow dismount
a further two metres onto the rope
56
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:28,240
and then onto the safety of
the platform on the other side.
57
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,760
This is gonna take guts,
58
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,840
but we know our ninjas
are very gutsy people.
59
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:35,560
I tell you what, I can't wait.
60
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:37,480
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
61
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:39,840
The awesome Mount Midoriyama
62
00:02:39,920 --> 00:02:42,440
is the ultimate test
for our competitors,
63
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:45,320
and their journey to get there
starts here.
64
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:48,120
Tonight is the second of five heats.
65
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:50,720
Only the top 18 will qualify
66
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:53,080
for one of three semi-finals.
67
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:54,400
To make it through,
68
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:57,840
ninjas must take on the most
demanding obstacle course
69
00:02:57,880 --> 00:02:59,520
in the world.
70
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,680
Six obstacles bigger and tougher
than ever before.
71
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:04,200
(CHIME SOUNDS)
72
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:05,720
The Floating Steps are first -
73
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:10,200
five steps 1.8 metres apart
that increase in height.
74
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:11,520
Ohh!
75
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:13,520
Then the Butterfly Wall,
76
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:16,280
an early test of guts for our ninjas.
77
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:19,040
Third, the Tuning Forks -
78
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:21,120
three rotating forks
79
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:23,560
requiring light feet and accuracy.
80
00:03:23,640 --> 00:03:25,960
One wrong step
and it's in the water,
81
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,120
like Steve Gardner in heat one.
82
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:30,600
Obstacle four is the Rolling Steel.
83
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:35,000
Last night,
Zak Stolz's upper body power
84
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:38,760
helped him pedal
the 6.6 metres uphill.
85
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:41,840
The Double Squirrel
86
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:43,120
is the penultimate obstacle.
87
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:44,560
It's three metres
88
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:45,960
to the first handles,
89
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:49,480
then a breathtaking
three-metre lache
90
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,360
to the second
before the final dismount.
91
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:55,120
(DRAMATIC MUSIC CONTINUES)
92
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:57,480
Finally, the double walls.
93
00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:59,160
Three attempts for ninjas
94
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:02,560
to either reach the top
of the 4.2-metre Warped Wall,
95
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:05,680
the faster option taken
by Rob Patterson last night.
96
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:08,040
Really? Really, Rob?

(KLAXON BLARES)
98
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:14,480
Or the 5.2-metre Mega Warped Wall,
99
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:18,600
with the chance to win $5,000,
like Ashlin Herbert.

(KLAXON BLARES)
101
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:23,960
Which way will our ninjas go?
Whoo!
102
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:27,040
For any ninja who can get to the top,
103
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:30,600
it could be the first prize
on the way to the ultimate prize
104
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:31,800
in our grand final.
105
00:04:31,840 --> 00:04:33,840
This year, for the first time,
106
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:37,200
the ninja who goes furthest,
fastest, in our grand final
107
00:04:37,280 --> 00:04:42,240
will be declared the winner,
and take home $100,000 cash.
108
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:45,280
Better yet, if anyone can make it
to the top of Mount Midoriyama,
109
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:48,160
they will be crowned Australia's
first Ninja Warrior
110
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:51,200
and win a whopping $300,000.
111
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:54,200
It's big money!
112
00:04:54,280 --> 00:04:57,160
So, let's bring out our first ninja,
Le Hua.

Oh! Well, this is the kind of entry
we've never seen before.
115
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:06,600
I love this! Is he gonna do
the course on his bike?
116
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:07,760
Surely not.
117
00:05:07,840 --> 00:05:10,360
Now, that would earn extra points.
Wouldn't it?
118
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:15,640
Hi. My name's Le,
like what a chicken does to an egg.

(FUNKY MUSIC)
120
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:20,040
I've been riding bike trials
for 20 years.
121
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:24,280
Bike trials is like parkour,
only on a bike.
122
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:27,560
You need to have power, precision.
123
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:31,480
There's no limit
to the size of the obstacle.
124
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:33,040
That's what makes it so appealing.
125
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:37,840
My family came to Australia
after the Vietnam War.
126
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:43,320
They fled Saigon on a timber boat,
and during the voyage,
127
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:46,040
I was born on the boat at sea.
128
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:48,080
So, I really am, actually,
a proper boat person.
129
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:51,240
Got a photo of Malcolm Fraser
holding me.
130
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:53,360
Yeah, I'm very grateful
just to be here.
131

I feel that ninja's my calling.
132
00:05:58,520 --> 00:05:59,800
I've always loved it,
133
00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:03,680
and the mental game that I bring
from my bike trials experience
134
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:06,040
transfers to ninja really well.
135
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,800
I think that's gonna give me
a really good advantage
136
00:06:08,840 --> 00:06:10,600
and help me get to Mount Midoriyama.

That was some entrance,
140
00:06:18,280 --> 00:06:21,480
but now it's all about
the next six obstacles.
141
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:22,680
You got it!
142
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,600

That's what you need round here.
Yeah!
147
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:37,600
Well, he's through
the Floating Steps.
148
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:39,720
They didn't trouble him.
149
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:42,560
Next, the Butterfly Wall.
This is a new one.
150
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:45,640
And this jump, Ben, is 1.9 metres.
151
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:46,760
Here he goes.
152
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:48,840
Eeee... oh!
153
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,760
And he's in the water
way earlier than I expected.
154
00:06:51,840 --> 00:06:56,120
Me too. Our first ninja out
on obstacle two.
155
00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:59,720
Yeah, blink and you miss it
from Le Hua.
156
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:03,240
Look at the stutter in his run
up to the Butterfly Wall.
157
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:05,760
He made it across,
but his legs were stiff.
158
00:07:05,840 --> 00:07:08,200
He never really had a good grip
on the top of the wing,
159
00:07:08,280 --> 00:07:11,120
and as it spun around,
he just couldn't hang on.
160
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:14,600
There's your towel.
What happened there, Le?
161
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:16,800
Yeah, the footing
was a bit messed up,
162
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:19,160
and hands didn't get on properly,
and, yeah, all over.
163
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:21,000
Maybe you should
have stayed on your bike.
164
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:22,680
Yeah, that probably
would have been better, eh?
165
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:25,360
Yeah, it's probably easier
on the bike.
166
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:26,560
Well, you better
get back to your bike.
167
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:28,080
You've not locked it up.
Someone might nick it.
168

Go on, Le. Off you go, mate.
169
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:32,400
Yeah, absolutely!

can make it further.

of us girls who got up the wall

really proved that girls can do
what guys can do too.

Pump those legs, Indy! You are up!
182

This year, I've just stepped it up.
183
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:06,800
I have to really push myself
to get into the grand final.

I was a competitive gymnast.

My gymnastics and cheerleading
was very similar.

So, I've just gotta take it
one step at a time,

00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:37,280
and hopefully get all the way to the
wall and get into the grand final.

about the Warped Wall

Oh, I can't believe it!

She made it
up the Warped Wall last year
222
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:43,440
and she is out on obstacle two.

India Henry, that is a real shock.
224

Have a look at the run-up.
225
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:51,640
It was smoother than
what we saw with Le.
226
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:55,320
Her feet were well positioned on
the rounded bottom of the butterfly,
227
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:58,680
but the push-off to the rope
just wasn't right.
228
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:01,400
It sent her downwards.
Too much pressure on the grip.
229

India, last year you got
to the top of the Warped Wall.

This time, didn't quite go
according to plan.

Very disappointed.
232

Um... it was a lot further jump
than I really expected,
233
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:17,960
and I hate to see myself go out
on the second obstacle.

that Mega Wall a crack.

00:22:59,960 --> 00:23:01,240
and that just suits me to a 'T'.
520
00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:03,720
It's a physical, full on game,
521
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:05,800
and if you step onto a court,
it gets vicious out there.
522
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:07,880
That's what you play sport for.
523
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:10,480
Be that strong, competitive athlete.
524
00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:12,120
I love that side of things.

and has all the tools to do well.

Here comes the Firebird.

This woman is a very, very good
netballer.
531
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:36,240
Will that put her in good stead
to win Australian Ninja Warrior?
532
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:38,480
She is a finely tuned athlete,
that's for sure,
533
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:40,720
and she's gonna need to draw
on all of those skills
534
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:43,320
for this next formidable obstacle.
535
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:45,360
Take your time, dear.
Get a good grip.
536
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:47,080
Nathan with the advice there.
537
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:50,000
This is where
it all went wrong for him.
538
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:52,880
Oh, manages just
to hang on for dear life.
539
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:55,200
Now has to reach for the rope.
540
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:57,840
This is gonna be a difficult
transition. She's right on the side.
541
00:23:57,920 --> 00:23:59,240
Look at the position she's in!
She's alright.
542
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:01,720
Oh, no, no!
She's alright, she's alright.
543
00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:04,840
Pick your feet up, Verity!
Get them legs up, Verity! Yes!
544
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:07,800
She's alright! She's alright!

00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:11,280
Verity using those long legs
to save herself.
546
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:13,200
Great effort!
547
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:16,000
She's only the third ninja
to reach the Tuning Forks,
548
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:18,280
and she's got bragging rights
over Nathan.
549
00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:19,640
They're gonna spin.
550
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:22,400
Now, she needs her footwork
to be spot on here.
551
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:24,840
You need to go quick, Verity.
552
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:27,200
Oh, look... oh!
553
00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:30,240
It was looking good
and then not so good.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)
555
00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:36,840
Well done, Verity, for a great
recovery on the Butterfly Wall,
556
00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:38,520
but have a look at this.
557
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:41,800
She was tentative on
the Tuning Forks from the outset.
558
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:44,800
Stepped on the sloped edge
on the third prong.
559
00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:47,520
Started spinning, and this time
there was no way back.
560
00:24:49,360 --> 00:24:50,840
Big love
from Nathan,
561
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:54,360
and Verity showed determination
and fighting spirit
562
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:55,640
to beat the Butterfly Wall.
563
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:58,760
Can our next ninja
keep up that momentum?
564
00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:02,200
All the experts say
he's a real contender this year.
565
00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:08,560
Ladies and gentlemen, give a big
ninja welcome to Nathan Leiminger!

(DRAMATIC MUSIC SWELLS)
570
00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:25,400
I'm an abseiling window cleaner.
571
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:31,840
Most days of the week, you'll find
me hanging off a building
572
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:33,680
100 to 300 metres up.
573
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:36,600
My job is physically demanding.
574
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:40,480
My work is my gym - 50 hours a week.
575
00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:43,800
You're moving yourself
with just your strength.
576
00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:47,160
Pulling up 50kg to 60kg of rope
hand over hand.
577
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:51,480
So, my core strength and my upper
body strength will be my key.
578
00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:53,440
I always need a challenge.
579
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:55,880
So, I got my helicopter licence.
580
00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:58,200

When I step up to do
the Ninja Warrior course,
583
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:05,200
I think Mount Midoriyama
will be simple for me.
584
00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:06,640
I've just gotta get there.
585
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:10,320
OK, well, let's see.
586
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:12,880
He's competed
in a few ironman contests before,
587
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:16,600
but this is his first time
on the Ninja Warrior course.
588
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:17,760
Come on, baby.
589
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:20,480
On the right there
is his fiancee Breanne,
590
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:23,440
with mother-in-law-to-be Claudia
on the left.
591
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:26,280
Yeah, Nathan says
he loves a challenge.
592
00:26:26,360 --> 00:26:29,960
Let's see if he can handle
these next six obstacles,
593
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:31,760
including the Butterfly Wall.

00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:55,600
He's looking confident.
602
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:56,960
REBECCA: And so strong
in the upper body.
603
00:26:57,040 --> 00:26:59,480
That could be key
to his success tonight.
604
00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:03,720
Oh, he's stopping.
Come on, keep it moving there.
605
00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:05,440
Keep it moving. There you go.
606
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:06,560
He's giving it a big of a waggle.
607
00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:09,160
Go, babe!
608
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:12,040
Oh, good form on the dismount!

Great push-off.

He's looking good already, Ben.
611
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:20,000
Needs to keep it going, though,
on the Tuning Forks.
612
00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:22,840
Oh, that is perfect.
Yes!
613
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:25,160
Absolutely perfect!
614
00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:27,640
And this is only the second time
we've seen obstacle four -
615
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:29,280
the Rolling Steel.
616
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:33,120
This is where that upper body
strength comes in.
617
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:37,760
Oh, look at him fly up
that 6.6-metre rail!
618
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:41,400
And the clock says
just a little over a minute.
619
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:44,760
Nathan Leiminger is doing so well,
620
00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:48,640
and now he's only got
two obstacles remaining.
621
00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:53,240
Nathan Leiminger on target
to be the second ninja of the night
622
00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:54,600
to reach the Warped Walls.
623
00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:56,440
First, the Double Squirrels, though.
624
00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:58,800
Yeah, he's got three metres
up to the first squirrel.
625
00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:00,560
He's done that. He's got it.
626
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:02,680
Now the swing to the second one.
627
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:04,520
He's looking good, Ben.
628
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:12,320
Oh!
Oh, and I spoke too soon!
629
00:28:12,360 --> 00:28:13,400
Again.

00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:17,720
Go, babe! Yes, babe! Whoo!
631
00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:20,640
Nathan looked like a dead certainty
for a shot at the wall,
632
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:22,680
but his swing let him down.
633
00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:26,720
His arms are bent nearly 90 degrees
on the first Flying Squirrel.
634
00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:28,480
That increased fatigue
635
00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:31,600
and limits the amount of swing
that you can generate.
636
00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:35,320
He needed to drive his legs upwards
to gain momentum,
637
00:28:35,360 --> 00:28:37,160
and without all those ingredients,
638
00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:39,840
the lache just didn't end well.
639
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:41,680
Great effort, though.
640
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:43,680

to the second-last obstacle

and showing he's a contender
in this year's competition.
643
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:51,480
Good on you, Nathan.
644
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:54,200
The Twitch Ninja James Sayers
645
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:55,760
is still the only ninja
646
00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:56,960
to complete the course,
647
00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:58,560

He's got a little ninja with him,
653
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:10,560
and he's tipping some big things
from this bloke.
654
00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:13,840
I'm not gonna lie,
I'm very, very excited,
655
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:17,080

been waiting three series for.

How are you feeling, pal?
Oh, not too bad.
664
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:35,480
Pretty nervous,
but, yeah, feeling confident.
665
00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:36,920
You think you're gonna
get through the course?
666
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:41,400
Mate, I wanna see a ginger barnet
on top of the Warped Wall,
667
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:43,040
preferably the Mega Warped Wall.
668
00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:44,480
Yeah, I've got
a bit of ginger in me.
669
00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:46,520
Us guys have gotta stick together,
mate. We've gotta stick together.
670
00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:49,720
Yep. Try my best
and do ninjas proud.
671
00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:52,000
Do it. Come here.
Let's hug it out. Come on.
672
00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:53,800
No, no, we're hugging,
we're hugging!

00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:36,560
the KFC Youth Foundation
690
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:38,200
will donate $1,000
691
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:39,840
to their charity partners.
692
00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:45,360
BEN: Welcome back to Melbourne,
693
00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:47,000
and Australian Ninja Warrior.
694
00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:49,320
The Twitch Ninja, James Sayers,
695
00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:51,240
is the only competitor so far
696
00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:53,680
to finish the course
and hit the buzzer.
697
00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:58,400
Let's see how another of
Freddie's favourites gets on next.
698
00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:01,800
He is a jack-of-all-trades
in Victoria's Alpine Valley,
699
00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:03,520
Tom Nicholson!
700
00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:05,760
(DRIVING ROCK MUSIC)
701
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:08,040
TOM: Freddie's given me the name
'the Ginger Ninja'.
702
00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:10,640
So, I wanna do
the ginger clan proud.
703
00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:14,880
I hear I'm also
the shortest male ninja.
704
00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:16,280
Doesn't really faze me at all.
705
00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:18,600
It's been that way
pretty much my whole life.
706
00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:24,440
I might not be big, but I am wiry,
strong, and resilient.
707
00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:27,080
This is the rugged mountains
of north-east Victoria.
708
00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:29,000
I've grown up breathing this air.
709
00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:30,400
It's made me tough.
710
00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:34,400
After I qualified
as a rappel firefighter...
711
00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:39,280
..I trained as an arborist
and started my own business.
712
00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:42,200
I have a passion for helping people
713
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:43,840
and I'm studying to be a paramedic.
714
00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:46,880
I am also the local snake catcher.
715
00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:50,760
It's a privilege, getting bestowed
the Ginger Ninja by Freddie.
716
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:53,200
So, I wanna do him proud,
717
00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:56,160
and show all the other fellow ninjas
who's boss.
718
00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:00,360
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
719
00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:06,560
Go on, son! You right, Tom?
720
00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:07,600
Good luck, mate.
721
00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:09,520
This is the one
I've been waiting for -
722
00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:11,440
Tom Nicholson, AKA the Ginger Ninja.
723
00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:12,680

(CHIME SOUNDS)
725
00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:15,920
The Ginger Ninja is up and away.
726
00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:17,600
Go, Tom!
727
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:19,440
He's a bit shorter than you, Freddie.
728
00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:22,480
160cm tall, 5'2".
729
00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:27,080
He's an arborist, a paramedic,
and a local snake catcher.
730
00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:28,760
Come on, Tommy!
731
00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:30,080
Can he be Australian Ninja Warrior,
though?
732
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:33,200
Tom's dad and siblings
will certainly be hoping so,
733
00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:36,160
but now he is up against
this Butterfly Wall.
734
00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:39,480
Look at that - big leap.
Oh, just clings on!
735
00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:42,000
That looks so far for him.
736
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:44,480
Go on, Tom. Go on, Tom.
737
00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:46,600
Oh, yes, Tom! Yes, Tom!
He's through!
738
00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:49,240
Tom Nicholson, the Ginger Ninja!
739
00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:51,760
Through to the Tuning Forks.
740
00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:59,080
He looks light on his feet.
In fact, he only weighs 60kg.
741
00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:00,720
So, he's light as a feather.
742
00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:02,480
I reckon he'll knock these Tuning...
743
00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:03,880
Oh, he's going slowly.
744
00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:05,720
We haven't seen this.
745
00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:08,640
Ohhh!
And we don't want to see that!
746
00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:10,240
Ohhh!
747
00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:14,400
Has he saved himself? He has,
enough, but, oh, the balance.
748
00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:16,000
Ohhh!
749
00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:17,440
Oh, no! Has he touched the water?
750
00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:19,280
Oh, it's a good job he's only small,
751
00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:21,040
'cause his feet
couldn't touch the water.
752
00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:22,160
They couldn't reach!
753
00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:24,600
We've got the thumbs up.
He's alright.
754
00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:27,640
Tom Nicholson survives,
755
00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:30,680
but can he force his way
through this Rolling Steel?
756
00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:33,360
6.6 metres. It's looking tough.
757
00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:38,480
Here we go - pumping them arms.
The Ginger Ninja! Come on, Tom!
758
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:41,480
One! Come on,
don't mess up now, Tom, lad.
759
00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:42,800
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
760
00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:44,120
Look at him go!
761
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:47,160
And it's tense here at the moment,
as he takes on the Double Squirrel.
762
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:48,400
Obstacle number five.
763
00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:51,520
If he gets through this,
then he's got the double walls.
764
00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:57,280
He's gonna have to use that
trampoline like you've never seen.
765
00:33:57,320 --> 00:33:58,880
He's only a little fella.
766
00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:00,520
He's like one of the Borrowers.
767
00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:03,320
He'll have to get a big bounce
768
00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:05,200
to get to the first
of the Flying Squirrels.
769
00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:07,080
Go on, Tom! Yes, Tom!
770
00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:08,800
Come on, get swinging!
771
00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:11,880
Three metres
to that second squirrel.
772
00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:14,720
One more, then he's going
for the second of the squirrels.
773
00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:16,040
Oh!
774
00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:20,040
Whoa! It's a...
it's a big little splash.
775
00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:22,760
So close. Well done, Tom.
776
00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:28,680
AUDIENCE: Ginger! Ginger! Ginger!
777
00:34:28,720 --> 00:34:30,920
Tom, listen to the crowd there.
778
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:32,960
That's catching on,
that nickname, isn't it?
779
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:34,560
Oh, it's sticking.
780
00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:36,600
So, what happened there?
Just a little bit too far?
781
00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:39,960
Yeah, gave it a bit much, I think,
and couldn't grab a hold.
782
00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:42,880
'Cause I was looking forward,
if you got past that one,
783
00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:45,080
which wall were you gonna go up?
784
00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:46,520
Could you have gone up
the Mega Wall?
785
00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:50,040
Well, I don't think so, mate.
Bit small for that.
786
00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:51,280
Well, it's not all bad,
787
00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:53,320
because we have to see
how the rest of the contestants do.
788
00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:54,760
There's 18 going through
to the next round.
789
00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:56,600
How much would you like
to progress in this?
790
00:34:56,680 --> 00:34:59,480
More than anything, mate.
Fingers crossed.
791
00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:01,400
Yeah, I'll go with fingers crossed.
So is all this crowd as well.
792
00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:03,560
Can I see it one more time?
Ginger Ninja!

Instant ninja hero.
796
00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:13,320
Tim Nicholson gives it a red-hot go
in heat two,
797
00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:16,960
but will that be enough
for a semi-final place?

I'm pretty good

I know where to place my hands,
or just jump or land.

I still live at home
with my family and my dad.

We have fun together, for sure.

My dad's supported me my whole life,
my dancing.

but he got the jig from me.

I took time off
just to kind of look after him.

A year later, he's definitely
through the recovery stage,

be coming to support me.

from Victoria.

'B'-boy means breakdancing.

Just ask me - I'm very urban
and I'm down with the kids.

to the top of the Warped Wall,
826

So, he's looking pretty good
for this course.

Pretty nimble, pretty quick
to do his dance moves.
834

Yeah, the breakdancing
will do him no harm.

Getting himself
into the right position,
838
00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:12,920
and he needs to nail the dismount.
839
00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:14,160
Certainly does.

That's smart. Here he goes.

842
00:37:20,160 --> 00:37:21,800
He should have the skillset here.

He's nimble, he's light.
844
00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:27,480
And here he goes.
845
00:37:28,720 --> 00:37:30,280
Dancing his way through.
846
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:34,960
And he is already
onto the Rolling Steel.
847
00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:39,440
Not as fluent as we've seen, but
he is making it uphill and across.
848
00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:43,320
And at this point, he's doing it
faster than James Sayers.
849
00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:45,480
Just over 1:00 on the clock.
850
00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:46,840
Yeah, come on!

The crowd chanting, "Swing,"
853
00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:53,520
and that's what he needs to do
on the Double Squirrel.
854
00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:56,640
Three metres off the tramp
to the first one. Gets it.
855
00:37:57,760 --> 00:37:58,880
Good swing.
856
00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:02,760
Will release this time.
857
00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:05,160
Makes the jump and sticks it!
858
00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:08,280
He's really got good hip drive.
859
00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:10,600
Look at him, with all that
flexibility,
860
00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:15,120
and now he's facing a big decision.
861
00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:18,200
AUDIENCE: Beat the wall!
Beat the wall!
862
00:38:18,240 --> 00:38:20,320
Wow. This is incredible.
863
00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:23,200
Only the second ninja tonight
to reach the walls.
864
00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:26,280
Will it be the Warped Wall,
like James Sayers,
865
00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:31,400
or will he attempt
the Mega Warped Wall for $5,000?
866
00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:33,480
Well, that's the one
that he's standing in front of.
867
00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:35,000
Leonard's a newcomer.
868
00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:36,840
Oh, my gosh! He's going to do it!
869
00:38:36,920 --> 00:38:40,080
But he's having a crack
at 5.2 metres.
870
00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:44,880
Ohh! He was probably three inches?
That was close. That was close.
871
00:38:44,920 --> 00:38:46,240
Still got two more chances.
872
00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:47,720
The one thing you can't do, though,
873
00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:49,800
you can't go from the Mega
to the normal one.
874
00:38:49,880 --> 00:38:51,960
Gotta stay on the Mega one.
Two more goes.
875
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:53,400
I am nervous.
876
00:38:53,480 --> 00:38:55,880
I can't believe he's never been
on this course before,
877
00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:58,080
it's his first time
on Australian Ninja Warrior,
878
00:38:58,160 --> 00:38:59,920
and he's going up
the Mega Warped Wall.
879
00:38:59,960 --> 00:39:01,640
Here we go - come on, Leonard.
880
00:39:01,720 --> 00:39:03,880
Oh! Two inches away!
Oh!
881
00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:06,160
Again, again, again.
882
00:39:06,240 --> 00:39:08,480
Just losing momentum there.
It's his third and final chance.
883
00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:12,160
Oh, he means business now. The
shirt's come off, the guns are out.
884
00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:13,760
Beat the wall.
885
00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:15,880
Beat the wall.
886
00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:18,200
He was three inches away,
887
00:39:18,240 --> 00:39:20,360
then he was two inches away.
888
00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:23,800
With the clock ticking,
it's his last chance!
889
00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:26,000
No!
890
00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:31,360
So close to our second ninja
up the Mega Warped Wall this season.
891
00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:35,120
Great effort by Leonard,
892
00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:38,040
but he was too slow on his approach
to the Mega Warped Wall,
893
00:39:38,120 --> 00:39:41,840
and couldn't get an explosive push
to reach the top.
894
00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:45,600
The 'B'-boy from Melbourne
just a couple of inches away,
895
00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:50,080
and that's $1,000 to KFC's
Youth Foundation charity partners.
896
00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:53,680
So, it's your first time
on the Ninja Warrior course,
897
00:39:53,720 --> 00:39:55,800
but you looked like a veteran.
898
00:39:55,840 --> 00:39:57,360
You had so much confidence.
899
00:39:57,440 --> 00:39:59,280
Yeah, I practice at home every day,
so...
900
00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:00,320
Really?
Every day.

1027
00:46:21,760 --> 00:46:23,360
I'm Jules. I'm married to Luke.
1028
00:46:23,440 --> 00:46:26,080
And I'm Emma,
and I'm married to Matt.
1029
00:46:26,120 --> 00:46:28,320
We even get them mixed up sometimes.
1030
00:46:28,360 --> 00:46:30,400
We get mistaken for sisters.
1031
00:46:30,440 --> 00:46:32,520
We live four houses apart.
1032
00:46:32,600 --> 00:46:35,480
They can actually get on the roof
and wave to each other.
1033
00:46:35,560 --> 00:46:38,000
Where is he? There he is!
Look at him!
1034
00:46:38,040 --> 00:46:39,880
Can't even get away from him!
1035
00:46:39,920 --> 00:46:43,160
Catching you, Pa! Catching you!
1036
00:46:44,680 --> 00:46:48,280
Ninjas definitely, yeah,
it takes over their lives.
1037
00:46:48,360 --> 00:46:49,920
They just love it.
They live and breathe it.
1038
00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:51,840
I'm old enough
to be your grandfather!
1039
00:46:51,880 --> 00:46:53,240
(LAUGHTER)
1040
00:46:53,320 --> 00:46:56,080
I think Matt will take it out,
between the two.
1041
00:46:57,320 --> 00:46:58,880
We'll have to wait
and see about that one.
1042
00:46:58,920 --> 00:47:00,720
I'm gonna put money on this.
1043
00:47:00,800 --> 00:47:02,640
OK, let's do it.
(LAUGHTER)
1044
00:47:03,720 --> 00:47:04,880
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

00:47:04,920 --> 00:47:06,480
BEN: It's a twin-a-thon.
1046
00:47:06,520 --> 00:47:08,400
First up, Matt Filippi.
1047
00:47:08,440 --> 00:47:10,320
33, from Queensland.
1048
00:47:10,400 --> 00:47:12,360
EMMA: Whoo! Go, babe!
(CHIME SOUNDS)
1049
00:47:12,440 --> 00:47:15,280
FREDDIE: It's thumbs-up from
Matt Filippi, and he's away.
1050
00:47:18,520 --> 00:47:22,160
And he is... oh, easy
through the Floating Steps!
1051
00:47:22,200 --> 00:47:24,000
Oh, he's not hanging around.
1052
00:47:25,080 --> 00:47:28,480
Jumps onto the Butterfly Wall.
Spinning around.
1053
00:47:28,560 --> 00:47:31,400
Eyeing up that rope two metres away.
Big leap.
1054
00:47:31,440 --> 00:47:33,880
Oh, that is easy, Matt Filippi!
1055
00:47:33,920 --> 00:47:35,080
Whoo!
1056
00:47:35,120 --> 00:47:36,520
Fast, Matt, fast!
1057
00:47:36,560 --> 00:47:39,200
Babe, you got this! You got this!
1058
00:47:39,240 --> 00:47:40,880
REBECCA: Now onto the Tuning Forks.
1059
00:47:40,960 --> 00:47:44,520
Need to step right
in the centre of these pads.
1060
00:47:44,560 --> 00:47:46,800
You can do this! You can do this!
1061
00:47:46,840 --> 00:47:49,440
They'd be hard enough without moving,
1062
00:47:49,520 --> 00:47:52,560
but the moment they move,
there's trouble on!
1063
00:47:52,640 --> 00:47:56,720
If he can get up quickly,
he will be safe, and he is!
1064
00:47:56,760 --> 00:47:59,160
Yes, that is a huge recovery!
1065
00:47:59,200 --> 00:48:01,200
Whoo!
1066
00:48:01,280 --> 00:48:04,040
And have a look at the Filippi clan.
They're going crazy down there.
1067
00:48:04,120 --> 00:48:07,040
Matt's wife, Emma, on the right.
Luke's wife, Julie, on the left.
1068
00:48:09,080 --> 00:48:11,040
The Rolling Steel
should be no problem
1069
00:48:11,120 --> 00:48:13,000
for the first
of the surfing twinjas.
1070
00:48:13,080 --> 00:48:15,640
He looks strong,
pumping that upper body!
1071
00:48:17,400 --> 00:48:18,760
Swing, Matt!
1072
00:48:18,800 --> 00:48:20,200
He's quick.
1073
00:48:20,280 --> 00:48:22,880
Just a couple of seconds slower at
this point than Leonard Hermawan.
1074
00:48:22,920 --> 00:48:25,680
Now, with just one more obstacle
1075
00:48:25,760 --> 00:48:29,320
before the Warped Wall
or the Mega Warped Wall.
1076
00:48:29,360 --> 00:48:30,800
Go, baby!
1077
00:48:31,960 --> 00:48:34,400
But that obstacle, Freddie,
is the Double Squirrel,
1078
00:48:34,480 --> 00:48:37,600
and it's taken out a couple of
promising ninjas already tonight.
1079
00:48:37,640 --> 00:48:39,560
Let's see if Matt can do better.
1080
00:48:42,920 --> 00:48:45,840
Yes! That's good, Matty!
1081
00:48:45,880 --> 00:48:47,280
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
1082
00:48:47,360 --> 00:48:49,760
Now, the hard thing about this,
you've had two obstacles in a row -
1083
00:48:49,840 --> 00:48:54,000
yes -
that rely on upper body strength,
1084
00:48:54,040 --> 00:48:55,840
but he's got plenty of that.
1085
00:48:55,920 --> 00:48:59,280
Matt Filippi.
Swing! He's nearly there.
1086
00:48:59,320 --> 00:49:00,600
Lands it.
1087
00:49:03,560 --> 00:49:04,760
It's dilemma time.
1088
00:49:04,800 --> 00:49:07,080
Does he take the Warped Wall
1089
00:49:07,160 --> 00:49:10,120
or does he take the Mega Warped Wall
for $5,000?
1090
00:49:10,160 --> 00:49:12,040
Oh, he's having a look.
1091
00:49:12,080 --> 00:49:15,760
Is he gonna be drawn in by the cash?
1092
00:49:15,840 --> 00:49:17,920
Oh, he's going Mega!
He's going Mega!
1093
00:49:17,960 --> 00:49:21,160
This is pretty much a vertical wall.
1094
00:49:21,200 --> 00:49:23,560
It is 5.2 metres.
1095
00:49:23,600 --> 00:49:26,160
It's also $5,000 worth
1096
00:49:26,240 --> 00:49:28,280
if you make it up
this Mega Warped Wall.
1097
00:49:28,320 --> 00:49:32,600
$5,000 straight into your skyrocket.
1098
00:49:32,680 --> 00:49:35,400
First go. Come on!
Ohhh!
1099
00:49:35,440 --> 00:49:37,720
He was a fair way off.
1100
00:49:37,800 --> 00:49:40,120
Not to worry.
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
1101
00:49:40,160 --> 00:49:41,800
Now, then, Matt Filippi,
1102
00:49:41,880 --> 00:49:44,040
you get three chances
on the Mega Warped Wall,
1103
00:49:44,120 --> 00:49:46,640
and big news, son -
you can't go to the little one.
1104
00:49:46,680 --> 00:49:47,800
You've gotta stay on the Mega.
1105
00:49:47,880 --> 00:49:50,680
AUDIENCE: Beat the wall!
Beat the wall! Beat the wall!
1106
00:49:52,040 --> 00:49:54,160
Get over it! You can do it!
1107
00:49:54,240 --> 00:49:57,440
Come on, you've got this, babe!
Come on!
1108
00:49:57,520 --> 00:50:01,000
He's visualising it.
He wants it. He wants the 5K.
1109
00:50:01,080 --> 00:50:02,320
Ohhh!
Oh, gee.
1110
00:50:02,400 --> 00:50:05,160
Now, this is where
it's really tricky.
1111
00:50:05,200 --> 00:50:08,000
He's only gone one more shot.
1112
00:50:08,080 --> 00:50:11,040
Matt, give it all, Matt!
You can do this!
1113
00:50:11,120 --> 00:50:13,400
Come on! Let's go!
You've done this!
1114
00:50:13,480 --> 00:50:19,840
OK, Matt Filippi,
5.2 metres of wall in front of him,
1115
00:50:19,920 --> 00:50:23,680
and look at him psyche himself up,
rev himself up,
1116
00:50:23,720 --> 00:50:26,040
and push himself up the wall!
1117
00:50:26,120 --> 00:50:28,800
No! So close.
REBECCA: Ohh!
1118
00:50:28,840 --> 00:50:30,840
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
1119
00:50:30,920 --> 00:50:33,160
He got within a few inches of getting
to the top of that wall, Bec,
1120
00:50:33,240 --> 00:50:36,640
and the money was just there,
he wanted to grab it,
1121
00:50:36,720 --> 00:50:38,280
but he just couldn't
get his mitts on it.
1122
00:50:38,320 --> 00:50:40,920
Whoo!
1123
00:50:41,000 --> 00:50:43,360
Not to be for the younger
of the twinjas, Matt.
1124
00:50:43,400 --> 00:50:44,960
Just like Leonard Hermawan,
1125
00:50:45,040 --> 00:50:49,520
he didn't have the explosive kick
necessary to drive to the top.
1126
00:50:49,560 --> 00:50:51,560
So, it's Ashlin Herbert,
1127
00:50:51,640 --> 00:50:54,920
the only ninja to make it up
the 5.2-metre Mega Warped Wall
1128
00:50:54,960 --> 00:50:56,920
so far this season.
1129
00:50:59,240 --> 00:51:02,000
Well, surely Matt Filippi
is heading to the semi-finals.
1130
00:51:02,080 --> 00:51:04,600
Let's check out the leaderboard
and see.
1131
00:51:04,640 --> 00:51:06,960
Yeah, James Sayers, Bec,
1132
00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:08,520
is still on the top of the ladder,
1133
00:51:08,560 --> 00:51:09,600
because he completed the course.
1134
00:51:09,640 --> 00:51:11,400
We've got Leonard in second,
1135
00:51:11,440 --> 00:51:12,760
Matt third,
1136
00:51:12,800 --> 00:51:15,040
after three attempts just now
1137
00:51:15,080 --> 00:51:16,600
at the Mega Warped Wall.
1138
00:51:16,640 --> 00:51:17,960
The Chompamatic Riley Murphy
1139
00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:19,280
is eighth,
1140
00:51:19,320 --> 00:51:21,800
one spot ahead of Le Hua,
1141
00:51:21,840 --> 00:51:24,320
with India Henry now in tenth.
1142
00:51:27,280 --> 00:51:28,760
WOMAN: Biggest supporter!
1143
00:51:28,840 --> 00:51:31,200
Being in full-time uni
and having two jobs
1144
00:51:31,280 --> 00:51:33,240
kind of makes it a bit hard
to find the time,
1145
00:51:33,280 --> 00:51:35,120
but I work out at home.
1146
00:51:35,160 --> 00:51:37,280
All the training comes down to this.
1147
00:51:37,360 --> 00:51:41,560
Brand-new ninja Raphaela Wiget
is on course next.
1148
00:51:50,800 --> 00:51:53,600
BEN: Welcome back
to Australian Ninja Warrior,
1149
00:51:53,680 --> 00:51:57,680
where Mount Midoriyama
towers over heat number two.
1150
00:51:57,720 --> 00:51:59,800
Let's catch up with Freddie,
1151
00:51:59,880 --> 00:52:03,440
and a ninja who hopes he can make it
all the way in season three.
1152
00:52:04,720 --> 00:52:07,680
I'm in the warm-up gym area
with Bryson Klein,
1153
00:52:07,760 --> 00:52:10,440
the kid who took Ninja Warrior
by storm last year,
1154
00:52:10,480 --> 00:52:12,280
finishing second overall,
1155
00:52:12,360 --> 00:52:16,000
and I've gotta say, I think you look
stronger this year, Bryson.
1156
00:52:16,080 --> 00:52:17,840
Oh, I hope so.
I've had a year to train.
1157
00:52:17,920 --> 00:52:19,520
Have you?
That's it.
1158
00:52:19,600 --> 00:52:21,280
Looks like you've reached puberty
as well.
1159
00:52:21,360 --> 00:52:22,720
Ha, ha, ha!
(LAUGHTER)
1160
00:52:22,800 --> 00:52:24,800
I know, finally! Oh, my god,
I've been waiting for years!
1161
00:52:24,840 --> 00:52:26,520
Now, everyone's asking -
1162
00:52:26,600 --> 00:52:28,720
there's a few changes
to the course this time.
1163
00:52:28,800 --> 00:52:31,920
It's the Warped Wall and the
Mega Warped Wall for five grand.
1164
00:52:32,000 --> 00:52:34,560
Please tell me you're gonna go up
the Mega Warped Wall.
1165
00:52:34,640 --> 00:52:38,160
Um, it is very high
on my priority list.
1166
00:52:38,240 --> 00:52:41,200
I'm gonna make the final decision
when I get there,
1167
00:52:41,280 --> 00:52:43,800
but I think I'm gonna hit
the Mega Wall.
1168
00:52:43,880 --> 00:52:45,840
So, we're all gonna
be waiting and watching.
1169
00:52:45,880 --> 00:52:47,520
You've heard it first.
1170
00:52:47,600 --> 00:52:49,880
Bryson Klein is gonna take on
the Mega Warped Wall.
1171
00:52:49,920 --> 00:52:51,640
No backing out now, son.
1172
00:52:51,680 --> 00:52:52,800
No, I can't now.
1173
00:52:52,880 --> 00:52:54,720
(LAUGHS) It's out there.
Good luck, mate.
1174
00:52:57,440 --> 00:52:59,800
Hi, everyone.
My name is Raphaela Wiget.
1175
00:52:59,880 --> 00:53:03,840
I'm 23 years old, and I'm from
Radelaide, South Australia.
1176
00:53:03,880 --> 00:53:06,440
(FUNKY MUSIC)
1177
00:53:06,480 --> 00:53:08,320
I'm pretty, like, excitable.
1178
00:53:10,000 --> 00:53:12,120
It's either, like, a lot of energy
or I'm asleep.
1179
00:53:12,160 --> 00:53:13,160
There's no in between.
1180
00:53:13,200 --> 00:53:14,680
MAN: Arggh!
1181
00:53:17,280 --> 00:53:20,760
Yeah, so, day to day,
I do study radiography.
1182
00:53:22,040 --> 00:53:23,960
Being in full-time uni
and having two jobs
1183
00:53:24,040 --> 00:53:25,800
kind of makes it
a bit hard to find the time,
1184
00:53:25,840 --> 00:53:28,960
but I work out at home.
1185
00:53:29,040 --> 00:53:32,880
Very important to keep your,
um... energy up during a workout.
1186
00:53:34,400 --> 00:53:36,280
Biggest supporter!
1187
00:53:36,320 --> 00:53:37,880
My parents are from Switzerland.
1188
00:53:37,960 --> 00:53:40,200
How do you feel about me
going on Ninja Warrior?
1189
00:53:40,280 --> 00:53:41,760
Fabulous!
(LAUGHS)
1190
00:53:41,840 --> 00:53:43,800
Do you reckon I can do
the Ninja Warrior course, Dad?
1191
00:53:43,880 --> 00:53:47,320
Uh, I don't know.
You're a little bit shorty.
1192
00:53:47,360 --> 00:53:48,720
(GASPS)
1193
00:53:48,800 --> 00:53:50,600
So, I got into rock climbing
about three years ago.

(DRIVING ROCK RHYTHMS)
1195
00:53:53,800 --> 00:53:55,520
Cue obsession. (LAUGHS)

(SHRIEKS)
MAN: Yeah!
1197
00:53:58,400 --> 00:54:01,560
My dad, yeah, I mean,
he built me a rock-climbing wall.
1198
00:54:01,600 --> 00:54:03,560
Ta-da! Whoo!
1199
00:54:03,640 --> 00:54:06,560
Watch out, Ninja Warrior, 'cause
I'm gonna have my own climbing wall
1200
00:54:06,600 --> 00:54:08,120
20 metres from my room.
1201
00:54:08,160 --> 00:54:09,440
There is gonna be no stopping me.
1202
00:54:09,520 --> 00:54:12,360
I don't know how I'm gonna do,
I don't know what's gonna happen,
1203
00:54:12,440 --> 00:54:14,840
but I'm gonna give it
absolutely everything I got
1204
00:54:14,880 --> 00:54:16,200
and just have fun with it.
1205
00:54:18,760 --> 00:54:20,160
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
1206
00:54:20,200 --> 00:54:21,680
BEN: Raphaela Wiget.
1207
00:54:21,720 --> 00:54:23,320
She's from Adelaide.
1208
00:54:23,400 --> 00:54:27,600
A gun climber with all the tools
to go far this season.
1209
00:54:27,640 --> 00:54:29,360
Look at the smile!
1210
00:54:29,400 --> 00:54:30,560
MAN: Yes, yes, yes!
1211
00:54:30,640 --> 00:54:33,560
REBECCA: She's directing that smile
to her mum and dad and brother,
1212
00:54:33,640 --> 00:54:36,400
and they're just starting
the chant on the sideline.
1213
00:54:36,440 --> 00:54:37,760
Let's go, Raph.
1214
00:54:37,800 --> 00:54:38,840
(CHIME SOUNDS)
1215
00:54:38,920 --> 00:54:40,800
WOMAN: You can do it, baby!
You can do it!
1216
00:54:42,960 --> 00:54:45,200
Six obstacles ahead of Raphaela.
1217
00:54:45,240 --> 00:54:47,240
This heat is still wide open,
1218
00:54:47,320 --> 00:54:49,960
with only one ninja
on top of the wall so far.
1219
00:54:50,000 --> 00:54:51,200
Concentrate!
1220
00:54:51,280 --> 00:54:53,640
Well, we know how well climbers do
in this competition.
1221
00:54:53,720 --> 00:54:58,040
She's slow and steady on obstacle
number one, the Floating Steps...
1222
00:54:59,040 --> 00:55:00,840
..and then she'll face an obstacle
1223
00:55:00,920 --> 00:55:03,720
which has been a nightmare
for many of our ninjas tonight.
1224
00:55:03,800 --> 00:55:07,560
Yeah, Ben, it's the first big test
for the 23-year-old from Adelaide.
1225
00:55:07,600 --> 00:55:10,240
Raphaela, I'm counting on you.
1226
00:55:11,440 --> 00:55:14,480
Here she goes. Bangs her head,
but manages to hang on.
1227
00:55:15,520 --> 00:55:16,960
And she's spinning around.
1228
00:55:17,000 --> 00:55:18,840
I wonder if she hurt herself there.
1229
00:55:18,880 --> 00:55:21,280
She looks OK. Can she make the jump?
1230
00:55:23,320 --> 00:55:25,560
Yes, she does!
Well done, Raphaela.
1231
00:55:25,640 --> 00:55:28,080
She's got some keen mates
in the crowd tonight too.
1232
00:55:28,160 --> 00:55:31,560
That's Alicia and Hannah
making themselves heard.
1233
00:55:32,840 --> 00:55:34,600
FREDDIE: Might be a bit of
a dark horse here, Raphaela.
1234
00:55:34,680 --> 00:55:36,280
She looks comfortable
on the course so far.
1235
00:55:36,320 --> 00:55:37,880
Very fast! Very fast!
1236
00:55:37,920 --> 00:55:39,520
Just breathing, taking it all in.
1237
00:55:39,600 --> 00:55:42,560
I think she's gonna go for pace.
I think she's gonna be fast.
1238
00:55:43,640 --> 00:55:46,200
Here she goes.
One, two, three, four, five, six.
1239
00:55:46,240 --> 00:55:48,360
Look at that! They didn't even move!
1240
00:55:48,440 --> 00:55:51,640
Freddie, fantastic stuff
from Raphaela.
1241
00:55:51,680 --> 00:55:53,840
Great form, great execution,
1242
00:55:53,920 --> 00:55:55,920
and she's getting
a head of steam up here.
1243
00:55:55,960 --> 00:55:58,000
She's onto the Rolling Steel.
1244
00:56:00,640 --> 00:56:02,240
MAN: And go, go, go, go, go, go, go!
1245
00:56:02,320 --> 00:56:04,280
Look at the arms pumping.
Using the legs as well.
1246
00:56:06,280 --> 00:56:09,320
Just keeping the momentum with
her legs. Yes! Go on, Raphaela!
1247
00:56:09,400 --> 00:56:11,520
WOMAN: Swing! Swing!
Jump nicely!
1248
00:56:13,040 --> 00:56:15,480
Here she goes
onto the penultimate obstacle.

(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
1250
00:56:17,120 --> 00:56:18,920
What a moment for Raphaela.
1251
00:56:18,960 --> 00:56:20,880
Can she go all the way?
1252
00:56:20,960 --> 00:56:25,080
This is her first ever
Ninja Warrior experience.
1253
00:56:25,160 --> 00:56:27,840
Now, this is three metres
to the first squirrel.
1254
00:56:27,880 --> 00:56:30,000
She needs a really good bounce here.
1255
00:56:30,080 --> 00:56:33,160
Oooh, and misses
the Double Squirrel,
1256
00:56:33,240 --> 00:56:36,600
but she gets a ten out of ten
for the entry into the water.
1257
00:56:36,640 --> 00:56:38,600
And you know what,
1258
00:56:38,680 --> 00:56:41,880
she's made a considerable mark
on this course this evening.
1259
00:56:41,920 --> 00:56:43,280

You enjoyed that, didn't you?

00:56:50,960 --> 00:56:52,320
Oh, yeah! Oh my god!
1263
00:56:52,400 --> 00:56:54,720
I didn't think I was gonna get,
like, past the second obstacle!
1264
00:56:54,800 --> 00:56:57,200
And then just on
the Flying Squirrels,
1265
00:56:57,280 --> 00:56:59,600
just couldn't quite
reach the handles.
1266
00:56:59,680 --> 00:57:01,280
Yeah, I just didn't
jump hard enough.
1267
00:57:01,360 --> 00:57:05,480
I was probably a bit, like,
I don't know, tired or something.

Well, I'll let you get down.
You go and get yourself dry.

00:57:08,720 --> 00:57:09,720
Go and see your family.
1271
00:57:09,800 --> 00:57:11,160
I think they're waiting
around the other side.

A great debut performance
on Ninja Warrior,
1276
00:57:21,400 --> 00:57:25,360
and she's in with a good chance
of making the semi-finals.
1277
00:57:25,440 --> 00:57:28,520
But now it's time for one
of the red-hot favourites
1278

for the title
of Australian Ninja Warrior.
1279
00:57:32,680 --> 00:57:35,080
He was second overall last year.
1280

Can he be the furthest fastest
in season three?

to do the best I could.

We gotta run.

In the grand final,
I had a pretty good run.
1291
00:58:01,480 --> 00:58:04,160
Here he is at the top of the chimney,
1292
00:58:04,240 --> 00:58:08,320
and he's ready to go into stage two
of the grand final!
1293
00:58:08,360 --> 00:58:11,400
And what a time! Holy smoke!
1294
00:58:11,440 --> 00:58:13,480
I just kept saying to myself,
1295
00:58:13,560 --> 00:58:16,240
"As long as I fall off because I
couldn't physically go any further,
1296

"I'll be happy."

Oh, no, son!
Bryson!
1299
00:58:20,000 --> 00:58:22,920
Oh, no, he hits the water!
1300
00:58:24,960 --> 00:58:26,280
And that is what happened,
1301
00:58:26,360 --> 00:58:28,760
but I really would have loved
to have gotten to stage three.
1302
00:58:29,760 --> 00:58:30,960
This is gonna be quick.
1303
00:58:31,000 --> 00:58:32,520
Blink, and you could miss it.
1304
00:58:32,600 --> 00:58:35,880
He's got the Mega Warped Wall
firmly in his sights,
1305
00:58:35,960 --> 00:58:39,000
but first,
Bryson Klein has gotta get there.

Here he is - Bryson Klein.

Oh, just making easy work
of the Floating Steps.

the way, but hangs on, half spin.

Freddie said it was gonna be quick.
1315
00:59:01,560 --> 00:59:03,000
Yeah, he's already
at the Tuning Forks,
1316
00:59:03,080 --> 00:59:07,440
and he's now just weighing up
his path across the prongs.
1317
00:59:07,520 --> 00:59:11,040
One wrong step and it'll all be over
for Bryson Klein.
1318
00:59:11,080 --> 00:59:12,720
Here he goes.
1319
00:59:14,440 --> 00:59:16,880
Quite slow for Bryson,
but that is perfect.
1320
00:59:16,960 --> 00:59:20,080
Every step just perfect.
Didn't he float?

And now...
Push, push, push, push, push!

00:59:22,160 --> 00:59:25,840
He pushes and shoves and...
And have a look at the clock.

of the night by 20 seconds.

It's now the second-last obstacle,

and you can hear the crowd
is getting very excited,
1327
00:59:35,120 --> 00:59:37,960
because one of the very best ninjas
is on course

00:59:38,000 --> 00:59:40,200
to attempt the Mega Warped Wall.

This is the Double Squirrel.
1330
00:59:41,880 --> 00:59:43,680
He's on squirrel number one.
1331
00:59:43,760 --> 00:59:47,320
You've really gotta hit
both of these targets bang on.
1332
00:59:47,400 --> 00:59:48,920
Squirrel two!
And he does.
1333

Come on!

00:59:50,040 --> 00:59:51,800
The strength in those shoulders
1335

is from all those years
of rock climbing.

00:59:54,840 --> 00:59:56,160
Here's the dismount,

inside James Sayers's time.

the first person of the night

Oh, Bryson, this is a moment.
It is all yours.

5.2 metres,
and Bryson Klein shoots himself up!

01:00:54,880 --> 01:00:56,600
(LAUGHS) Yeah, you do.
1358
01:00:56,680 --> 01:00:58,240
It's out of Ben's pocket,
by the way.
1359
01:00:58,320 --> 01:01:00,680
I'll take it
out of Freddie's pocket.
1360
01:01:00,720 --> 01:01:01,720
Good idea!
1361
01:01:01,800 --> 01:01:04,760
He's got deeper ones. Go and say
g'day to him, mate. Congratulations.
1362
01:01:04,840 --> 01:01:07,400
Put your hands together
for Bryson Klein.
1363
01:01:07,440 --> 01:01:10,080
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
1364
01:01:10,120 --> 01:01:12,040
Wow!
1365
01:01:12,120 --> 01:01:15,640
Our first ninja of the night
up the Mega Warped Wall.
1366
01:01:15,720 --> 01:01:18,080
We knew someone was gonna
do it tonight.
1367
01:01:18,120 --> 01:01:21,120
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
1368
01:01:21,200 --> 01:01:23,640
Bryson, you said you was gonna
go up the Mega Warped Wall.
1369
01:01:23,680 --> 01:01:25,000
You didn't let us down.
1370
01:01:25,040 --> 01:01:26,760
It was never in doubt, was it?
1371
01:01:26,800 --> 01:01:28,280
Oh, I was in doubt.
1372
01:01:28,360 --> 01:01:31,160
I think I was very surprised when
my hand wrapped around the top,
1373
01:01:31,200 --> 01:01:32,520
but very thankful.
1374
01:01:32,560 --> 01:01:33,880
Well, you've won five grand.
1375
01:01:33,960 --> 01:01:35,640
Last year you came second
in the competition.
1376
01:01:35,720 --> 01:01:39,680
Can you go a lot further
this time around?
1377
01:01:39,720 --> 01:01:43,120
I'm just gonna give it my best.
1378
01:01:43,160 --> 01:01:45,160
The course is a fickle thing.
1379
01:01:45,240 --> 01:01:47,000
Anything can happen to anyone
at any point,
1380
01:01:47,080 --> 01:01:49,400
and I'm very aware of that,
but I'm just gonna give it my all,
1381
01:01:49,440 --> 01:01:51,560
and I think my all is enough.
1382
01:01:51,640 --> 01:01:54,400
On tonight's evidence,
it might well be.
1383
01:01:54,440 --> 01:01:56,440
Bryson was fast and confident.
1384
01:01:56,520 --> 01:01:59,720
He generated great speed
on the Mega Warped Wall.
1385
01:01:59,760 --> 01:02:01,560
Have a look at this.
1386
01:02:01,600 --> 01:02:03,520
He just exploded off that final step.
1387
01:02:03,560 --> 01:02:05,720
Reached the top one-handed,
1388
01:02:05,800 --> 01:02:09,000
becoming the second ninja
to win five grand.
1389
01:02:11,400 --> 01:02:12,680
And warming up right now
1390
01:02:12,760 --> 01:02:15,400
is another ninja
with his eyes on the prize.
1391
01:02:15,480 --> 01:02:18,800
The Mighty Mo, Alex Matthews,
is on course next.
1392
01:02:18,840 --> 01:02:20,760
You do not wanna miss this.
1393
01:02:21,840 --> 01:02:24,800
And then high stakes
for Nathan Ryles.
1394
01:02:24,880 --> 01:02:26,960
I don't know if I'm more nervous
about the course
1395
01:02:27,000 --> 01:02:28,640
or more nervous about the proposal.
1396
01:02:28,720 --> 01:02:32,600
I really need to focus on getting
one finished before I do the other.
1397
01:02:38,040 --> 01:02:39,880
BEN: Welcome to heat two,
1398
01:02:39,960 --> 01:02:42,320
where the top 18
will make the semi-finals,
1399
01:02:42,400 --> 01:02:45,560
moving one step closer
to the grand finals,
1400
01:02:45,640 --> 01:02:50,440
and the chance to win $100,000
as the furthest, fastest.
1401
01:02:50,480 --> 01:02:53,440
Don't forget there's $300,000
1402
01:02:53,520 --> 01:02:55,560
for the ninja that conquers
Mount Midoriyama
1403
01:02:55,640 --> 01:02:58,880
and becomes Australia's
first Ninja Warrior
1404
01:03:00,000 --> 01:03:01,240
REBECCA: And the action's
been continuing
1405
01:03:01,280 --> 01:03:02,360
right throughout the break,
1406
01:03:02,400 --> 01:03:04,320
with sibling rivalry at stake
1407
01:03:04,400 --> 01:03:06,720
for identical surfing twinja
Luke Filippi.
1408
01:03:06,760 --> 01:03:08,920
Oh, and he's in the water!
1409
01:03:09,000 --> 01:03:11,840
Brother Matt couldn't quite make it
up the Mega Wall,
1410
01:03:11,920 --> 01:03:13,840
but at least he's gonna have
bragging rights
1411
01:03:13,880 --> 01:03:15,440
for a long time to come.
1412
01:03:15,520 --> 01:03:19,080
And the man with the pink mohawk,
builder Luke Shelton.
1413
01:03:20,880 --> 01:03:21,840
If you've got the timing...
Oh, no!
1414
01:03:21,920 --> 01:03:24,680
Oh, I just mentioned
the word 'timing'.
1415
01:03:24,720 --> 01:03:27,120
(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)
1416
01:03:27,200 --> 01:03:30,560
But it was aircon installer
Gavin Wilson who kept his cool
1417
01:03:30,640 --> 01:03:33,920
to become the second ninja
to top the Warped Wall.
1418
01:03:33,960 --> 01:03:37,280
From WA, Gavin Wilson, Australia!
1419
01:03:37,360 --> 01:03:39,360
He's up that Warped Wall!
(KLAXON BLARES)
1420
01:03:40,400 --> 01:03:45,040
Hits the buzzer, and he finds himself
in the semi-finals.
1421
01:03:47,960 --> 01:03:49,640
Well done, Gavin Wilson.
1422
01:03:49,720 --> 01:03:53,840
Now a crowd favourite, and a grand
finalist from season one and two.
1423
01:03:53,920 --> 01:03:56,640
Freddie, he's your man,
Alex Matthews.
1424
01:03:56,680 --> 01:03:59,080
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
1425
01:04:05,880 --> 01:04:07,040
FREDDIE: Here he is - it's the Mo.
1426
01:04:07,080 --> 01:04:08,200
It's Alex Matthews.
1427
01:04:08,240 --> 01:04:10,480
The firefighter who's got to final
1428
01:04:10,520 --> 01:04:12,400
in series one and series two.
1429
01:04:12,440 --> 01:04:15,400
And in homage, out of respect...
1430
01:04:19,640 --> 01:04:21,240
..I've brought my own.
1431
01:04:21,280 --> 01:04:23,080
Come on, Alex!
1432
01:04:23,160 --> 01:04:25,880
Ahh! Freddie!
Hey! He likes it.
1433
01:04:25,960 --> 01:04:28,600
(LAUGHS)
It's a hit, it's a hit.
1434
01:04:28,640 --> 01:04:30,520
REBECCA: Looking good, Freddie.
1435
01:04:30,600 --> 01:04:33,600
Also looking good,
Alex's mum, Carleen, and dad.
1436
01:04:33,680 --> 01:04:35,280
They look a little bit nervous,
though,
1437
01:04:35,360 --> 01:04:36,880
even if Alex
isn't showing it up there.
1438
01:04:36,920 --> 01:04:38,240
(CHIME SOUNDS)
1439
01:04:38,320 --> 01:04:40,920
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
MAN: Go, Alex!
1440
01:04:41,000 --> 01:04:43,960
Everybody keenly watching
Alex Matthews.
1441
01:04:44,040 --> 01:04:48,600
A top ten finisher in the last two
years of Australian Ninja Warrior.
1442
01:04:51,400 --> 01:04:53,360
Oh, look at that - he knows
what he's doing, this lad.
1443
01:04:53,400 --> 01:04:55,760
Oh, my word! He's putting a show on!
1444
01:04:55,800 --> 01:04:58,920
How confident is Alex?
1445
01:04:59,000 --> 01:05:02,440
This is remarkable. We haven't
seen anything like this tonight.
1446
01:05:02,480 --> 01:05:04,200
Keep it going.
1447
01:05:04,280 --> 01:05:07,440
And he's over ten seconds faster
than Bryson Klein.
1448
01:05:07,480 --> 01:05:10,480
He is on a mission.
1449
01:05:10,520 --> 01:05:13,040
Oh, Alex!
1450
01:05:13,120 --> 01:05:17,040
Showing the rest of the field
how it is done.
1451
01:05:17,120 --> 01:05:18,720
He's racing through.
What?
1452
01:05:18,800 --> 01:05:21,680
He's racing through.
(AUDIENCE CHANTS)
1453
01:05:23,320 --> 01:05:24,520
It's fast.
1454
01:05:24,600 --> 01:05:26,880
We've never seen him moving better
than this, I gotta say.
1455
01:05:26,920 --> 01:05:28,080
Onto the Double Squirrel.
1456
01:05:28,120 --> 01:05:30,120
Driving that swing up.
1457
01:05:31,120 --> 01:05:34,000
BEN: He's just so focused, so strong.
1458
01:05:34,080 --> 01:05:35,560
Yes!
So determined!
1459
01:05:35,600 --> 01:05:37,360
Perfect execution.
1460
01:05:39,160 --> 01:05:40,880
And he's getting faster.
1461
01:05:40,960 --> 01:05:44,160
He's now 15 seconds faster
than Bryson Klein to this point,
1462
01:05:44,240 --> 01:05:46,160
who finished second overall
last season.
1463
01:05:46,200 --> 01:05:47,640
It's incredible, Ben.
1464
01:05:47,720 --> 01:05:49,840
It's not something we usually see
with Alex Matthews.
1465
01:05:49,880 --> 01:05:51,560
AUDIENCE: Beat the wall!
1466
01:05:51,640 --> 01:05:53,560
Surely he's gonna take on
the Mega Wall.
1467
01:05:53,640 --> 01:05:57,480
Can Alex become the second ninja
to claim the five grand?
1468
01:05:57,560 --> 01:05:59,920
We know that time's on his side.
Nope!
1469
01:05:59,960 --> 01:06:02,160
He's gonna go the Warped Wall.
1470
01:06:02,200 --> 01:06:04,960
And he just falls short.
1471
01:06:05,040 --> 01:06:07,040
Really surprising that he missed.
He touched it.
1472
01:06:08,360 --> 01:06:10,640
He's got enough height.
Deep breath.
1473
01:06:10,680 --> 01:06:13,400
We know he can do it, the 4.2 metres.
1474
01:06:13,480 --> 01:06:16,480
We know he can do this. He won't
make the same mistake twice.
1475
01:06:16,560 --> 01:06:20,320
There he is.
Alex! (LAUGHS)
1476
01:06:20,360 --> 01:06:22,720
Gets there with a stumble.
1477
01:06:22,800 --> 01:06:26,200
The third ninja
up the Warped Wall tonight.
1478
01:06:26,240 --> 01:06:27,920
Why didn't he go the Mega Wall?
1479
01:06:28,000 --> 01:06:30,400
Alex, we thought
you were gonna go the Mega!
1480
01:06:30,480 --> 01:06:33,520
I chickened out, I chickened out.
Chicken!
1481
01:06:33,600 --> 01:06:35,840
$5,000 cash!
(CLUCKS)
1482
01:06:35,880 --> 01:06:37,080
There's a five,
1483
01:06:37,160 --> 01:06:39,000
but then there's a little bit
of a bigger carrot dangling.
1484
01:06:39,080 --> 01:06:40,960
Oh, yeah, yeah.
We'll hold out for that one.
1485
01:06:41,040 --> 01:06:43,480
Well done, mate. We'll be seeing you
soon. Congratulations.
1486
01:06:43,520 --> 01:06:44,720
Thanks, guys.
1487
01:06:44,800 --> 01:06:46,880
Alex Matthews!
Ahh!
1488
01:06:46,920 --> 01:06:49,160
What a run from Alex!
1489
01:06:49,240 --> 01:06:52,200
He was faster than Bryson Klein
throughout,
1490
01:06:52,280 --> 01:06:55,480
and despite a little hiccup
on his first Warped Wall attempt,
1491
01:06:55,560 --> 01:06:58,600
he made it to the top
in the fastest run of the night.
1492
01:06:58,640 --> 01:07:01,480
Is this the year of The Mo, Freddie?
1493
01:07:02,200 --> 01:07:04,080
Tonight, it was all about pace.
1494
01:07:04,160 --> 01:07:06,520
You've just flown through
that course.
1495
01:07:06,600 --> 01:07:08,640
Dare I say,
you look fitter than last year.
1496
01:07:08,680 --> 01:07:10,200
And I'm not flirting.
1497
01:07:10,280 --> 01:07:12,320
You can dare to say that,
Freddie, yeah, yeah.
1498
01:07:12,400 --> 01:07:13,840
Uh, yeah, probably a little bit,
yeah.
1499
01:07:13,920 --> 01:07:16,240
But I'm feeling good. That felt
good. Heat's out of the way.
1500
01:07:16,320 --> 01:07:19,400
Raring to go.
Ladies and gentlemen, Alex Matthews!
1501
01:07:19,440 --> 01:07:22,800
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
1502
01:07:27,600 --> 01:07:30,280
Thanks, guys! Whoo!
1503
01:07:31,080 --> 01:07:34,320
Well, he took the faster option
of the Warped Wall,
1504
01:07:34,360 --> 01:07:36,000
and it's paid off for Alex.
1505
01:07:36,040 --> 01:07:38,320
He is now Furthest Fastest.
1506
01:07:38,400 --> 01:07:41,760
Bryson Klein in second
is $5,000 richer,
1507
01:07:41,840 --> 01:07:45,480
but the Mega Warped Wall
cost him nearly 30 seconds.
1508
01:07:45,520 --> 01:07:47,320
In eighth is Nathan Leminger,
1509
01:07:47,400 --> 01:07:50,560
while Raphaela Wiget hangs on
in the top 10.
1510
01:07:50,600 --> 01:07:52,800
Luke Filippi is down in 13th.
1511
01:07:52,840 --> 01:07:55,720
India Henry is in 17th spot.
1512
01:07:55,800 --> 01:07:59,080
Sadly, Pa Rambo has missed out
on the semis,
1513
01:07:59,120 --> 01:08:01,960
and there's one runner left to come.
1514
01:08:02,000 --> 01:08:04,680
And that Ninja is Nathan Ryles.
1515
01:08:04,720 --> 01:08:06,200
There is his girlfriend, Tori,
1516
01:08:06,280 --> 01:08:08,640
and parents and sister
getting ready for his run.
1517
01:08:08,680 --> 01:08:10,440
She has no idea
1518
01:08:10,520 --> 01:08:13,440
that if Nathan makes it to the top
of the Mega Warped Wall tonight,
1519
01:08:13,480 --> 01:08:14,880
he's gonna propose!
1520
01:08:14,960 --> 01:08:18,280
He's coming up next
on Australian Ninja Warrior.
1521
01:08:20,560 --> 01:08:22,560
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
1522
01:08:22,640 --> 01:08:26,600
BEC: Welcome back to season three
of Australian Ninja Warrior,
1523
01:08:26,680 --> 01:08:29,360
and we're ready for our final run
of the night
1524
01:08:29,440 --> 01:08:32,000
and what could be
a very special occasion.
1525
01:08:32,040 --> 01:08:34,320
Let's hear it for Nathan Ryles.
1526
01:08:34,360 --> 01:08:37,280
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
1527
01:08:37,320 --> 01:08:39,000
NATHAN: Two loves of my life -
1528
01:08:39,080 --> 01:08:42,520
well, I'd say Ninja and Tori.
(BEEP)
1529
01:08:42,600 --> 01:08:46,720
Uh, Tori, and then Ninja
is close second. (CHUCKLES)
1530
01:08:46,800 --> 01:08:48,800
(BEEP)
Ah... I love you, Tori.
1531
01:08:48,840 --> 01:08:49,880
(WOMAN LAUGHS)
1532
01:08:50,920 --> 01:08:54,640
Last year on the show, my girlfriend
Tori was on the sidelines with me.
1533
01:08:54,720 --> 01:08:57,000
BEN: He is just carving through
this thing
1534
01:08:57,040 --> 01:08:58,880
like a knife through butter!
1535
01:08:58,960 --> 01:09:01,600
FREDDIE: Nathan Ryles,
take a bow, son!
1536
01:09:01,680 --> 01:09:04,440
It was one of the best times
of my life.
1537
01:09:04,520 --> 01:09:07,280
If all goes well tonight
in my heats,
1538
01:09:07,320 --> 01:09:08,920
if I make it up the Wall,
1539
01:09:08,960 --> 01:09:11,600
I plan on proposing to Tori.
1540
01:09:12,480 --> 01:09:15,640
She's been through so much with me,
1541
01:09:15,720 --> 01:09:19,760
and she's done so much
to help and support me.
1542
01:09:19,840 --> 01:09:23,360
At the age of 19, I got diagnosed
with testicular cancer.
1543
01:09:25,000 --> 01:09:26,560
It was pretty tough, but, you know,
1544
01:09:26,640 --> 01:09:29,480
we came out on the other side
pretty strong, and here we are.
1545
01:09:30,480 --> 01:09:32,720
I'm not here to stuff around
this year.
1546
01:09:34,000 --> 01:09:35,800
I definitely want to prove that,
you know,
1547
01:09:35,880 --> 01:09:38,160
I'm supposed to be here
and I can go all the way,
1548
01:09:38,240 --> 01:09:41,240
and then I can worry about
the proposal.
1549
01:09:41,280 --> 01:09:43,920
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
1550
01:09:43,960 --> 01:09:46,240
Go, babe!
1551
01:09:47,280 --> 01:09:51,440
Well, on the start line now is an
absolute gun, an absolute machine -
1552
01:09:51,520 --> 01:09:55,640
Nathan Ryles from South Australia,
a personal trainer.
1553
01:09:55,720 --> 01:09:59,440
And blows a kiss to Tori
on the sidelines with his family.
1554
01:09:59,520 --> 01:10:03,600
Can he make it up the Mega
Warped Wall and propose tonight?
1555
01:10:03,640 --> 01:10:05,400
BEN: Fingers crossed, Bec.
1556
01:10:05,480 --> 01:10:07,200
(TIMER BEEPS)
No pressure.
1557
01:10:08,320 --> 01:10:11,360
A grand finalist last year,
this time he's trained even harder.
1558
01:10:11,400 --> 01:10:12,800
He's lost 8kg,
1559
01:10:12,880 --> 01:10:15,400
he reckons that that weight
was holding him down last time.
1560
01:10:15,480 --> 01:10:17,920
So who knows what he'll do
this time?
1561
01:10:18,840 --> 01:10:20,440
It's a big one for Nathan.
1562
01:10:20,520 --> 01:10:23,600
Tori's got no idea
about the proposal,
1563
01:10:23,680 --> 01:10:25,960
and the ring is in Dad's pocket
there on the sideline.
1564
01:10:26,000 --> 01:10:27,200
Oh!
1565
01:10:27,240 --> 01:10:29,800
But first, get off this Butterfly.
1566
01:10:30,760 --> 01:10:33,200
CROWD: Let's go, Nathan, let's go!
1567
01:10:33,280 --> 01:10:35,920
Slowing down.
Needs to make the lunge to the rope.
1568
01:10:36,000 --> 01:10:38,440
He does that...
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
1569
01:10:38,480 --> 01:10:39,640
..with great style.
1570
01:10:41,920 --> 01:10:44,720
Now the Tuning Forks,
a little bit difficult.
1571
01:10:44,800 --> 01:10:48,200
It's all about balance,
and those pads are very small.
1572
01:10:48,240 --> 01:10:49,760
One, two, three, four, five, six.
1573
01:10:49,840 --> 01:10:51,720
Ooh, he's fallen!
Oh! Still OK.
1574
01:10:51,760 --> 01:10:54,800
Oh! He thought it was over!
1575
01:10:54,880 --> 01:10:57,640
Oh, so did we!
He needs to concentrate here.
1576
01:10:57,680 --> 01:10:59,840
He needs to block out all the noise,
1577
01:10:59,920 --> 01:11:01,640
the lights, the cameras,
and the proposal.
1578
01:11:01,680 --> 01:11:02,760
Easy!
1579
01:11:02,840 --> 01:11:05,520
Nathan Ryles falling
on the last of the Tuning Forks,
1580
01:11:05,560 --> 01:11:06,880
but making mincemeat of that.
1581
01:11:06,920 --> 01:11:08,600
Look at them arms pumping!
1582
01:11:09,720 --> 01:11:11,560
BEN: Yeah, Freddie, the time is good.
1583
01:11:11,600 --> 01:11:14,120
He's slower than Alex Matthews,
1584
01:11:14,200 --> 01:11:17,080
but 10 seconds faster
than Bryson Klein.
1585
01:11:17,120 --> 01:11:18,640
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
1586
01:11:18,720 --> 01:11:22,480
(LAUGHS) Tori is seriously excited
on the sidelines.
1587
01:11:22,560 --> 01:11:25,360
How is she going to be
if he pops the question?
1588
01:11:25,400 --> 01:11:26,960
The Double Squirrel.
1589
01:11:27,040 --> 01:11:30,040
All about grabbing a hold
of that first Squirrel,
1590
01:11:30,080 --> 01:11:32,400
getting the right amount of momentum,
1591
01:11:32,480 --> 01:11:35,280
and then hitting that mark
on the landing.
1592
01:11:35,360 --> 01:11:38,760
Ooh, I thought he was gonna go.
He's gonna wait. Patience...
1593
01:11:38,840 --> 01:11:40,840
BEN: Yes.
(TORI SCREAMS)
1594
01:11:40,880 --> 01:11:43,160
And those handles are very small.
1595
01:11:43,200 --> 01:11:46,120
You've got to be centimetre perfect.
1596
01:11:46,200 --> 01:11:49,120
He's just making sure that he's got
the right amount of momentum,
1597
01:11:49,200 --> 01:11:50,960
and he does.
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
1598
01:11:51,040 --> 01:11:53,240
And this is the moment
we've all been waiting for.
1599
01:11:53,320 --> 01:11:55,880
If he gets to the top,
he's gonna propose.
1600
01:11:55,960 --> 01:11:59,320
Tori can hardly contain
her excitement.
1601
01:11:59,400 --> 01:12:01,560
CROWD: Beat that wall!
TORI: Go the big wall!
1602
01:12:01,600 --> 01:12:03,520
Which way is he gonna go?
1603
01:12:03,600 --> 01:12:06,080
He's done the Warped Wall before
last season,
1604
01:12:06,160 --> 01:12:09,440
but the Mega Warped Wall
is a whole metre higher.
1605
01:12:09,480 --> 01:12:11,840
There's $5,000 on top, though.
1606
01:12:11,880 --> 01:12:13,880
That is some engagement present.
1607
01:12:13,960 --> 01:12:17,080
CROWD: Beat that wall!
Beat that wall! Beat that wall!
1608
01:12:17,120 --> 01:12:18,200
Can he do it, Bec?
1609
01:12:18,280 --> 01:12:21,800
Make no mistake.
5.2m staring at him in the face!
1610
01:12:21,880 --> 01:12:24,920
Can he get up?
Oh, he was so close!
1611
01:12:24,960 --> 01:12:26,200
He's got a good feel for it now.
1612
01:12:26,280 --> 01:12:29,880
He's probably never been on
a Warped Wall this high before.
1613
01:12:29,960 --> 01:12:32,800
He didn't hit the gas
as hard as he could have.
1614
01:12:32,840 --> 01:12:33,880
He's got more in the tank.
1615
01:12:33,960 --> 01:12:38,400
Let's see if he really takes off here
the moment he hits that curve.
1616
01:12:38,480 --> 01:12:41,160
Go, go, go, go!
Nathan Ryles, up, up, up, up!
1617
01:12:41,200 --> 01:12:43,960
Oh, he was within centimetres!
1618
01:12:44,040 --> 01:12:48,360
Gee, it's so hard to get enough
speed for that final push, isn't it?
1619
01:12:48,440 --> 01:12:50,600
That metre makes such a difference,
doesn't it?
1620
01:12:50,640 --> 01:12:51,960
CROWD: Beat that wall!
1621
01:12:52,040 --> 01:12:53,960
BEN: This is it, Nathan.
One last chance
1622
01:12:54,040 --> 01:12:57,120
to get to the top of the
Mega Warped Wall and propose.
1623
01:12:57,160 --> 01:13:00,280
And there's $5,000 waiting for you.
1624
01:13:00,320 --> 01:13:02,080
I am so nervous for Nathan.
1625
01:13:02,160 --> 01:13:04,720
Oh, he's almost there!
Oh!
1626
01:13:04,760 --> 01:13:06,200
Oh...
1627
01:13:06,280 --> 01:13:08,160
(TORI SCREAMS)
BEN: So close.
1628
01:13:08,240 --> 01:13:12,160
So agonisingly close that was.
Oh, Nathan.
1629
01:13:12,240 --> 01:13:16,200
Oh, not to be for these two tonight.
(CHUCKLES) How cute are they?
1630
01:13:16,280 --> 01:13:20,480
And for now,
the ring remains in Dad's pocket.
1631
01:13:20,520 --> 01:13:21,800
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
1632
01:13:21,880 --> 01:13:26,440
Nathan, you got to the Warped Wall,
you opted for the Mega Warped Wall.
1633
01:13:26,520 --> 01:13:28,400
How was it?
Is it higher than you thought?
1634
01:13:28,440 --> 01:13:29,720
Oh, so much higher than I thought.
1635
01:13:29,800 --> 01:13:33,240
I felt like that second one,
I was, like, only centimetres off,
1636
01:13:33,320 --> 01:13:36,720
but just my legs were really jelly
at the time.
1637
01:13:36,800 --> 01:13:39,640
I felt if I could compose
a little bit, I could get up.
1638
01:13:39,680 --> 01:13:41,160
But it wasn't to be.
1639
01:13:41,240 --> 01:13:43,280
I want to have my eyes set
on the big prize,
1640
01:13:43,320 --> 01:13:45,480
so, 300 grand, let's do it.
1641
01:13:45,560 --> 01:13:47,120
Mate, it's a lot of money,
and I wish you luck.
1642
01:13:47,160 --> 01:13:48,840
Top man. Great to see you.

(GROANS)
(TORI CHUCKLES)
1645
01:13:54,760 --> 01:13:56,920
It's onto the semi-finals for
Nathan.
1646
01:13:57,000 --> 01:14:01,040
No celebrations tonight,
but maybe not too far in the future.
1647
01:14:01,080 --> 01:14:04,320
So, here's how Heat 2 finishes up.
1648
01:14:04,400 --> 01:14:09,200
Cheerleader India Henry scrapes
into the semi-finals in 18th.
1649
01:14:09,280 --> 01:14:14,640
Raphaela Wiget finishes
in spot number 11,
1650
01:14:14,720 --> 01:14:18,680
just behind The Ginger Ninja,
Tom Nicholson, in 10th,
1651
01:14:18,720 --> 01:14:20,880
and Nathan Ryles in sixth.
1652
01:14:20,920 --> 01:14:22,760
James Sayers, the Twitch Ninja,
1653
01:14:22,800 --> 01:14:24,600
ends the heat in third place,
1654
01:14:24,680 --> 01:14:27,120
while in second spot
is Bryson Klein,
1655
01:14:27,200 --> 01:14:30,440
nearly 30 seconds behind
our Furthest Fastest,
1656
01:14:30,480 --> 01:14:33,120
The Mighty Mo, Alex Matthews.

I'm down here, and behind me
are the top 18 Ninjas
1659
01:14:37,320 --> 01:14:39,600
who've made it through
to the semi-finals.
1660
01:14:39,680 --> 01:14:42,440
And I've got to give special mention
to Bryson Klein,
1661
01:14:42,520 --> 01:14:46,000
the only Ninja of the night
making it up the Mega Warped Wall
1662
01:14:46,040 --> 01:14:50,040
and bagging $5,000 in the process.
1663
01:14:50,120 --> 01:14:54,400
But it wasn't enough
to be tonight's Furthest Fastest,
1664
01:14:54,480 --> 01:14:57,960
which goes to my favourite,
The Mo, Alex Matthews!
1665
01:14:58,000 --> 01:14:59,440
Come here, Al. Come on.
1666

01:15:03,160 --> 01:15:04,840
Well done, mate. Bryson may have
made it to the top

of the Mega Warped Wall,
1669
01:15:06,280 --> 01:15:08,000
but you're setting your sights
on bigger things.
1670
01:15:08,080 --> 01:15:11,160
You're looking at 100 grand
or 300,000.
1671
01:15:11,200 --> 01:15:13,160
Be happy with either. Uh, yeah.
1672
01:15:13,200 --> 01:15:14,760
I wouldn't say no to either, eh.
1673
01:15:14,840 --> 01:15:17,000
But we'll go for the 100. Yeah.
(LAUGHS)
1674
01:15:17,080 --> 01:15:18,480
Alright, that's all from us
down here.
1675

Ben and Bec, back up there to you.
1676
01:15:20,320 --> 01:15:22,800
Thanks, Freddie.
It has been a brilliant night,
1677
01:15:22,880 --> 01:15:25,120
and there'll be plenty more action
next week

it's the final three

01:15:50,840 --> 01:15:52,760
Unbelievable!
1688
01:15:52,800 --> 01:15:54,640
..and the most stunning.
1689
01:15:54,720 --> 01:15:58,040
That is the biggest shock
of Australian Ninja Warrior.
1690
01:15:58,120 --> 01:16:00,560
Exciting new Ninjas
take up the challenge,
1691
01:16:00,640 --> 01:16:03,320
including adventurous cowboy,
Phillip Forbes.
1692
01:16:03,360 --> 01:16:04,360
Boy from the bush,
1693
01:16:04,440 --> 01:16:06,120
and I'm here to show you
how it's done.
1694
01:16:06,160 --> 01:16:08,520
Cancer survivor Max Pertzel.
1695
01:16:08,600 --> 01:16:11,040
Pride of North Queensland,
Justin Flegler.
1696
01:16:11,120 --> 01:16:13,600
Here we are in Tully
on top of the Golden Gumboot!
1697
01:16:13,640 --> 01:16:16,360
Scratch golfer Charlie Robbins.
1698
01:16:16,440 --> 01:16:19,120
Fearless rock-climbing mum
Katrina Bean.
1699
01:16:19,160 --> 01:16:20,680
I think your body actually can do
1700
01:16:20,760 --> 01:16:22,880
a vast amount more than
you ever actually think it can.
1701
01:16:22,960 --> 01:16:26,480
And our first professional jockey,
Stephen Baster.
1702
01:16:26,560 --> 01:16:28,160
People underestimate jockeys
as athletes.
1703
01:16:28,240 --> 01:16:29,840
I'm here to prove
that a little guy can.
1704
01:16:29,920 --> 01:16:32,760
And some of the biggest names
in Ninja return...
1705
01:16:32,840 --> 01:16:35,760
Oh, my goodness!
Yes! Yes!
1706
01:16:35,800 --> 01:16:37,760
..for another shot at glory.
1707
01:16:37,840 --> 01:16:40,080
I am the Deadly Ninja,
and I'm bringing it home.
1708
01:16:40,160 --> 01:16:43,120
Only two Ninjas have conquered
the Mega Warped Wall.
1709
01:16:43,200 --> 01:16:48,040
But with a place in the semi-finals
and $100,000 at stake,
1710
01:16:48,120 --> 01:16:51,960
who will be Australia's first
Ninja Warrior?
1711
01:16:52,000 --> 01:16:53,880
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
