I did miss the first five minutes, though, but never mind. I'm not going to spoil it, but oh my gosh!! This one is so intense so far!! *Still rooting for Shingo* ^_^

Sucks that Keyhole TV logged out ON him for me!! Gee...but it messed up right when it went to the commercial. I have a feeling he'll make it because of where it cut off for him. Those lovely "cliffhanger" type spots, leaving you to wonder if he's going to make it or not.

Oh, and what happened with Nagano in stage 1 was just crazy!! I'd actually never seen something like that happen before. At least it was handled in a fair manner.

That aside, I was glad to see Oomori (Monkey)! I now can only wonder if he's always been running the course all these years, and if the US version just started to cut him out.

Too bad all the All Stars weren't there, from what I saw. I don't recall seeing Shiratori or Akiyama. I can't help but wonder if Shiratori never fully recovered from his knee injury. He wasn't in the last one either.

I can't wait until they get to stage 3!! ^_^

Edit: Okay, on stage 3 now. I hope someone makes it to the final.
