  1. I’m not surprised the initial numbers for Ninja Warrior are softer. The first few seasons were addictive but the last one in particular was a bit same old and became a turn-off. Even though there’s new hosts this time around, it doesn’t change the fact the show is super repetitive and episodes drag on way too long.
