Australian Ninja Warrior 2

Australian Ninja Warrior 2 was the second season of Australian Ninja Warrior. The show was filmed on December 2017 in Cockatoo Island, New South Wales (referred as the Ninja Island), and premiered on July 8th, 2018 at Channel 9 (with 3 episodes each week, from Sunday to Tuesday). For this season, 300 competitors participated over 6 qualifying heat episodes, 4 semifinal episodes, and 2 grand final episodes.

The Heats
Unlike on the previous season, due to there were 300 competitors competing on this season, the heats were run over in 6 episodes, with 50 competitors in each heat. The 20 fastest competitors who completed the course in each heat would advance to the semifinals. If less than 20 competitors completed the course, the competitors who got the furthest and fastest round the course would advance to the semifinals. There was no time limit in the heats.

Results
''Notes: There were several competitors who failed on the Rope to Cargo Net, with 3 of them being shown during the broadcast (Andrew Degiorgio, Corey Worthington, and Lauren Hannaford). However, for unknown reason, none of the competitors who failed on the obstacle made it to the top 20.''

The possible reason could be that touching the water on this obstacle would be considered as a disqualification, and since Australian Ninja Warrior implemented a rule that competitors who got disqualified (i.e. broke the completion rule of any obstacle) would automatically out of the competition (regardless of their time to the obstacle), those three competitors didn't advance to the semifinals (this rule would eventually be in play once again after Brodie Pawson's run in Semifinal 2).

The Grand Final
The Grand Final was where the remaining 32 competitors from the semifinals would battle it out to become the first "Australian Ninja Warrior" and the cash prize of AU$200,000 (since no competitor achieved total victory on the previous season, the prize money had been rolled over to this season).

However, unlike on the previous season, due to there were 32 competitors competing in the grand final on this season, the grand final was run over in 2 episodes, with the first episode being served for Stage One and the second episode (season finale) being served for Stage Two and so on. Also, competitors must face a total of 24 obstacles across 4 stages on this season's grand final instead of 18 obstacles across 3 stages on the previous season's grand final.
