I usually watch NASCAR races after church on Sundays, but today I returned home to find that the TiVo had decided that I might like Ninja Warrior and was recording that. I am in fact a big fan of Ninja Warrior on G4 (aka Sasuke in Japan), but on this occassion it was actually recording the Women of Ninja Warrior (Kunoichi in Japan) which is a female only version of the competition. Since the kids were showing great interest in the show as well, I decided to postpone my race watching in favor of Kunoichi.
It was a lot of fun watching the mostly kawaii competitors overcome or spectacularly fail to overcome the often sadistic obstacles of each stage. In the end it was the cute blonde acrobat/dancer Ayako Miyake who conquered all stages and became the first woman to win Kunoichi! Then I discovered that the Pocono 500 had been delayed due to rain, so I hadn’t missed anything, double bonus!^_^
