Caught the last two episodes of Ninja Warrior UK 2 on Universal. A lot more fast-paced than its American counterpart, and very obstacle-oriented as opposed to participant-oriented. The participants are hustled on without giving us much time to appreciate their individual personalities. The setting is a huge, indoor gymnasium, allowing for more control in the physical challenges--minus unpredictable elements and cold weather--which is extremely kind not only to the players but also to the participants and to the hosts and program staff.
