WELL IT USED TO BE BEAUTIFUL BEFORE THE TORNADO. THE TORNADO LEVELED EVERYTHING. PEOPLE LOST THEIR HOMES. THAT'S WHEN I DECIDED I HAD TO DO SOMETHING. USED THE SCRAP OF WOODS FROM MY HOUSE AND BUILT AN OBSTACLE COURSE. SHOW THE PEOPLE OF BEASLEY, IF THE CHIPS ARE DOWN. YOU WORK HARD AND PUT YOUR MIND TO IT. ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE. >> WOW, JEFF, YOU HAVE BEEN THROUGH A LOT. >> THIS ISN'T ABOUT ME.

he looks so determined when trying to walk on water, he keeps the serious face on till after he's dunked.

I feel like Bobby Moynihan is underrated. He can play the big physical humor but also is good with the nuanced stuff. And he almost never breaks.

You know what sad? This is what Ninja Warrior used to be. The old versions always used to have ridiculous people who would never make it wipe out wearing silly costumes and stuff. It wasn't until American Ninja Warrior that everyone started taking it so seriously and they needed to put in 100 ad breaks that they took out the "fun" runs.
