Doh.. missed Meg last night when I walked away from the TV for a minute. I assume she didn't make it far.
Issac always makes it all look flawless and easy. He's crazy strong compared to everyone else in the entire competition. As a rookie, he went out on the spider jump last year (not a skill you can learn on the fly) but I'm sure he found a way to practice for it this year.
I'd never hear of that other professional climber who they claimed climbs V-16?...then again, I don't pay attention to professional boulderers.

Damn, watching that old video clip of the Ross Sisters made me remember that I always wanted to date a contortionist. It would be like having a threesome, every night, the way she can contort her body! Wow!
Oh yeah, Kacy Catanzaro is pretty rad too.

According to Noah nothing on ANW is harder than V5.. but you need to flash everything and have a bit of endurance!

OK ANW fans--it's on now, "Mighty Kacy" will run later in the episode-- she should have a good chance, some midget male gymnast just completed the course. (Looked the warp wall was going to shut him down after a miserable first attempt, but he got it next try.)

>>"nothing on ANW is harder than V5"
however for some parts, as with climbing, difficulty is height or reach dependent.

She really needs an agent. She is as marketable a personality as I've seen in awhile. She could go on GOT tomorrow. but she is 25, she needs to get on with it, or her opportunity will pass her by.

I saw Jesse at the gym a couple weeks ago. I have to say I don't think I have ever seen a woman that looked as completely fit and strong as she does. Quite impressive.

I LOVE this show and Jessie is wonderful to watch. Complete feminity in a tough as nails physique. She looks very long through the torso and I've often wondered if the longer torso = longer core muscles hence more core strength?
The other female competitor I like a lot is the one that is a caretaker to the disabled girl.
Both she and Jessie just seem committed without being over the top ego flashy. Yes Jessie will wear the shiny outfit but it's still rather functional.
So many of the top contenders got wiped out Monday early on. It was difficult to watch that.

^^^^. Yes! I like her too! She wasn't on Monday, I guess she'll be on this coming Monday's semi's. She went very far last year.
