Early on in the qualifying stages, it is great to see people from all walks of life have a go at the course, and hear their stories.
It's just as entertaining to see how all the "ninjas" go in terms of who goes the furthest, the fastest on the leaderboard and picking early favourites. Unfortunately, it's downhill from here. After the true competitors are uncovered from the "round robin" and "qualifying" stages, the final course is split into four parts, all of which to what I'm aware, as I'll explain are measured via ridiculous and laughable time constraints, making the course virtually impossible to complete.
Whereas in the American version contestants have a chance to forget about the pressure of the clock and show off their determination and general fitness skills, in a "just finish the course" second stage, the Australian version batters the contestants into submission right from the opening round of the "grand" final. The last course we got to see for every single one of the 23 finalists couldn't beat it, so we didn't even get a chance to see what the next stage looked like was a gruelling 8 obstacles long, testing all kinds of physical strength and endurance, and had to be completed in under 2 minutes, 45 seconds.
That's before we even factor in things like fatigue. It's impossible. It just isn't fair on the viewer to follow a favourite contestant all season long, only for them to fail because the course is just too difficult.
I understand that the grand final should be the ultimate test, and you want the contestants to be pushed, but the organisers should at least prove via a test runner perhaps? Another improvement would be to stop the never ending carousel of obstacles the ninjas have to study, at least keep the course and stages somewhat consistent from season to season so they have some kind of "do this to win" blueprint to go away and work on.
Apart from a few fan favourite staples quadruple steps, jumping spider, the warped wall, mount midoriyama itself the course is constantly being chopped and changed and added on to, again putting infeasible barriers up to stop would be champions from claiming the elusive prize money.
