Thread: place bets on how badly NBC will maime Ninja Warrior tonight

It premiers tonight on NBC and I don't think it's not going to do that well. It's like when they Americanized Most Extreme Elimination Challenge. That show didn't do well because they didn't have the 'Mystery Science Theater' factor. No dubs, no wacky running gags, and all dat headgear/protection. Wipeout is what the American MXC should have strived for, but it couldn't. Now we have Ninja Warrior getting imported...I don't think we'll have an announcer with so much vocal pageantry host. I'm guessing they'll go the jokes route and end up falling flat. Also, the contestants need to be characters. Some need to show up with sky diving equipment before they run out and attack the first stage. I bet they won't have wacky people like that. Everyone is probabaly going to be limited to wearing some spandex type uniforms or something. But here's to hoping for the best. It premiers tonight.
