Challenge are airing new Sasuke tournaments!
Ok, I know Jim North is far from the best commentator in the world and is super cringey but more tournaments is more tournaments. Challenge aired the first two edited episodes of 31 today and I reckon they'll go up to 33 or 34.

Re: Challenge are airing new Sasuke tournaments!
I'm pretty sure some members on here like Jin North. Wish I knew, but have to be living the American dream

No quite sure how anyone can like Jim... unless they're 4. Also, I don't get what he has against Drew.

Re: Challenge are airing new Sasuke tournaments!
We're back to the Jim that first did new material (Sasuke 1) etc. I think it's a product of lack of research in this case. As I recall, the narrative in that arbitrarily picked on an American too, in Levi.
This makes me wonder why it worked better on the revolving of Stuart's material

I am very surprised that Kongu's First Stage run in Sasuke 31 was shown in full.

Possibly coz he was a Sasuke favourite and he completed Stage 1, and stage 2.

Re: Challenge are airing new Sasuke tournaments!
I’ll start by saying that I know nothing at all about the competitions that will be in this series. I don’t keep up to date with Sauske and I avoid spoilers so that when it does get shown over here it’s all a surpise to me.
So please no spoilers in this topic so I (and others in the same boat) don’t get any of it ruined
I’m also behind Challenge pace too - watching episodes when I have the time, not able to keep up with two day. I have just finished the 31st today. That was awesome, and well deserved
I like Jim when he goes off script and makes his own comments. Which sadly is rare. It’s the script that is awful, and you can always tell by his delivery which bits he’s reading (98% of it) and which he comes up with off the cuff.
Stuff like dissing Drew is the kind of thing that makes me laugh, sorry. That’s where Jim is adding his own comments rather than the cringey scripted stuff.
“The Log Grip didn’t shake him off... Unfortunately.”
“He’s crawling over the Music Box... like a weasel..
Also it’s the way he delivers some of the plain observations he makes is what makes them funny. There was a clip of one of them Cliffhanger-ing along a ledge at home toward their car, and all he said was “...Nearly at the car...” but the way he came out with it made me laugh out loud!
The Americans tend to show off, doing backflips and whatever, which is why Jim has digs at them. Megaburger was the worst for that. That guy irritated the hell out of me. It may have been after I tweeted Jim about him that the level of his bitching towards him increased...
I like that they seem to be dedicating more episodes towards a competition this time. At least they did with 31. I hope it stays that way. Last series they seemed to rush through it all way too quickly.

Re: Challenge are airing new Sasuke tournaments!
31 had 6 episodes and 32 had 5, which is the normal amount for the challenge edit. Maybe the extra ep was from more to cover coz there was a lot in 31.

Well, ha! I can't do backflips so looks like I've beat the system
In all seriousness, the series sounds good so far, wish I lived in the U.K. sometimes
It is strange to think that Dan's waited for nearly three years without knowing of the results from the last few tournaments (especially because, as he knows, the there's been at least one Total Victory in these results)

Was it really that long since they aired 28-30 on challenge, thought it was like a year ago.
