Kacy Catanzaro is a wildcard?


Seriously?

WTF?! You have can't even finish the qualifying course you have no business in the Vegas Final...period! Why did they give all these wildcards to women when there are women who are legit qualifying now?!

reply

I'm watching Vegas now. I was not aware THE MIGHTY KACY!!! got a wildcard.

I have a related question-
How many women got a wildcard when they performed worse than some men or other women?

EDIT
Answered my question here:

67 men received discrimination based upon their performance.

We're glad bc we usually fast forward to the women. Not having the time or patience to watch it all, we skip 3/4 of the men.

reply

So you watch like 5 minutes of the show then? Being most of the women fail pretty quickly.

What am I gonna do... with a gun rack?

I skip the backstories, and appreciate a good run, so I watch them all. What I don't appreciate is the outright sexism this year- ALL of the wildcards are women. I looked up the data and found that at least 61 men performed better than these 15. I think since this is not the first time it has happened, the show should now be called American Social Justice Warrior.

If she can get past the 2nd obstacle in stage 1 (propeller bar), I will be shocked.

reply

yeah i don't think there is any way. it is time for anw to let her go. she inspired a lot of girls and made great strides for women in the sport, but her time is over and the courses are surpassing her abilities. she just has no place there anymore.

Called it!

She failed on the propeller bar again!!

Kacy is still the only woman to hit the buzzer in the City Finals.

reply

And now it's just a little less special when you have someone that did it in Vegas finals. And Jessie finished 2nd in her city finals where there was only one finisher at all, so the difficulty of Kacy's course can be argued now. But let's keep pushing the "pioneer" angle for her as she can't even get through the propeller bar while she gets gifted a trip to Vegas every year.

So she did something cool 4 seasons go..

And gets a life time pass ?

Why does she even run in the city course ? She gets the WC Automatically, give that spot to a real Contestant

reply

My thoughts exactly.
She has gone out early on the city qualifiers the 2 years and didn't even advance to the city finals. There are a lot more contestants that actually deserve wild card spots.
Any how long are they going to milk the "royal couple break up" story? We get it!! NBC needs to more on from them and especially her, until she actually qailifies for something on her own.
