Brett Hernandez Strong had watched the show for years before getting his own shot at the Mega Wall. In American Ninja Warrior's new archive compilation, he pauses after his run to say: "I've been watching this show for the last 10 years, and I've just been dreaming of this moment."

"Teenage Takeover | Season 13 | American Ninja Warrior" was the most watched of the channel's two uploads this week, reaching roughly 5,800 views. With Matt Iseman and Akbar Gbajabiamila on commentary, it gathers qualifying runs from teenage competitors including Elijah Browning, Jay Lewis, Josiah Pippel and Kaden Lebsack. The appeal is in seeing those early opportunities again: the wall looming overhead, the buzzer waiting at the top, and years of practice coming down to a single attempt.

The other upload, "Who was the BEST DRESSED on the course? #ninjawarrior #americanninjawarrior #nbc", puts course fashion on the agenda. Meanwhile, the month-old Season 7 collection remains the busiest of the channel's highlighted videos, with the teenage compilation and Season 18 finale collection drawing similar daily viewing behind it. Three different eras are sharing the attention.

Subscribers were unchanged over the week, while daily views are currently modestly above the channel's usual level. Australian Ninja Warrior is also seeing an above-usual viewing day; among nearby entertainment channels, Love Island Australia and Bar Rescue have more pronounced lifts. Here, the week's main attraction is a return to young athletes getting their chance at the course.
