Unfortunately, being a chosen competitor on American Ninja Warrior does not guarantee that you’ll walk away with, well, any money. In fact, according to a former contestant who did a reddit AMA, they had to pay out of pocket for food, travel, hotel, and everything in between just to be able to participate in the show.
There is, however, the $1 million prize at the end of it all. In some ways, the possibility of getting their hands on that is enough to entice many physically capable competitors. For others, being out a few thousand dollars and walking away empty-handed is a pretty huge bummer.
Luckily for those who prefer to just watch the show, they can do that from the comfort of their own homes.
Watch American Ninja Warrior on Mondays at 8 p.m. ET on NBC.
