American Ninja Warrior Season 12 Episode 1 Recap
The premiere episode starts off with a school teacher from Vermont, Robert Moffitt, who is great as far as his timing goes. But he is eliminated after tripping on the Rib Run. Kamerion Wimbley, an NFL and Ninja Warrior veteran, falls on the second obstacle — and well, he is out. Pauline Avila, an ICU nurse in a Houston hospital, is also evicted, following her fall on Weight For It. Next up is John Huie, a music teacher, who completes the Ring Chaser with complete precision, only to be sent home after failing in the Rib Run. Sheila Williams is out on the first obstacle itself, Shrinking Steps. Sandy Zimmerman is sent back after stumbling in Slingshot while Rusty Rivera is out on Weight For It. Casey Suchocki is eliminated during Slingshot. And the first Ninja to pass the Qualifiers this season is Nate Hansen!
Joining the elimination list next are Kenneth Edwards, Sloane Cameron, Dave Cavanagh, Flip Rodriguez, Peter Liston, and David Alvarez. Allyssa Beird, who is back for the fifth year on the course, is the second participant to progress to the next round. Following her, we again have a list of evictions — Michael Johnson, Dilan Gomih, Anthony Eardley, Tegan Roobol, Isaiah Wakeham, Ashley Wells, Seth Rogers, Chellsie Memmel, Jonathan Horton, and Ryan Lashoff. Tyler Gillett hits the buzzer with the fastest time to this point, making him the third contestant to progress to the next stage. Joining him as his competitors in the Semis are Mike Wright, Julius Ferguson, Grant McCartney, and Jody Avila, who takes the top time of the night!
